public interest or value.
A large part of these relics of an
tiquity lie in the semi-arid regions of
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colo
RADIO, where the prehistoric Cliff Dwell
ers and Pueblo Indians had their
homes. By preserving them and max
ing accessible such articles as can be
properly collected in museums, the
government is following an enlighten-
ed policy in the interest of the pub
lie and of the investigations, which,
it is hoped, will eventually solve the
mysterious history of the primitive
people of North America.
The portion of the Canyon of the
Rito de los Frijoles where the pres
ent investigation will be made is in
the Jamez National Forest. Its pur
pose is to discover and preserve rel
les and antiquities which would 9TH
erwise lie unknown or would be car
ried away by unauthorized persons
and lost to science. The particular
object of the present expedition is to
obtain pottery. clay. stone, wood or
bone implements. domestic furniture
or utensils. seeds or anything else
that will serve to throw light on the
history of the people who formerly
lived there.
All specimens collected will be de-
posted and preserved in the South
west Museum of the Archaeological
Institute of America. at Los Angeles.
This is the flrst permit of the kind
issued by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, and Is taken as marking an
epoch in such work. in that 1t places

TO KILL MOTHS.
camphor and Tobacco Only Repei-
Carbon Bisuiphide Advised.


Carbon Bisulphide Advised.
Contrary to the general belief, cam
phor, naphthalene and tobacco will
! not kill clothes moths. says Suburban
Life. They act merely as repellants;
where they are used the moths will
not deposit eggs. If the eggs are al
ready laid or If the young have hatch
ed substances of this nature will have
no effect.
In May or June the moths appear
and lay their eggs, which soon hatch
into the destructive grubs that breed
on feathers. wool. fur and other things
of an animal texture. The campaign
against the moths must start early
in the spring II immunity for the rest
Of the year is to be enjoyed.
The easiest way to rid clothes of
moths is to give them a thorough
brushing once week and then ex-
pose them to air and sunshine. Where
they are to be packed away, fumi-
cation with carbon bisulphide is the
surest method. The garments are put
in tight trunk, with moth marbles.
Then a saucer is placed on top Of
the pile with four or five tablespoon
fuls of liquid carbon bisulphide in
it, easily obtained at all druggists.
The lid is closed and the trunk left
undisturbed until the clothes are
wanted
The bisulphide evaporates, and be-
ing heavier than air, settles through
the garments. 1t is deadly to insect
life ard will destroy it in all stages.
No odor will remain in the clothes
after airing them few moments, so
that they can be used as soon as they
are taken out. The moth marbles
prevent other females from crawling
in to lay their eggs.
A simple way. but not so sure. is
after brushing the goods to pack them
in ordinary paper boxes or -four bags,
pasting strip Of paper over the
cracks in order to keep out the moths.
For closets. cracks. carpets, furniture
or carriage furnishings a thorough
sprink!ing of berzine or gasolene will
clear out the pests.

It is no longer questionable that
the milk we drink Is frequently
means of disseminating the germs Of
tuberculosis in the digestive tract.
The international medical congress,
in session in Paris. has, after dis
cussion of the subject, adopted reso-
luton advising that all public insti-
tutions boil all the milk used. A
precaution deemed necessary in hos

How Some Ships Are Lost.

The loss of many English fishing

fact that the helmsmen often carries

These knives possess strong mag

This means that the helmsman may

Professor Lcwell's coming, reports the

questionably the Photographic report
Of a double canal On Mars will sustain

Pittsburg Dog Jumps Aboard

of DR.. NJ. w. Everson in puppy
hood.
The dog, whose name is Jack,
frequently accompanied DR.. Ever
son on automobile spins, says the
Motor World, and was unmis-
takably grieved when the ply
sician several years ago dispensed
with his motor car.
He allayed his sorrow by romp-
ing alongside of passing autoro-
biles, and eventually had the
nerve to jump into one. The
driver did not resent the intru-
sion, and from that time Jack has
spent his days repeating the trick.
He has become quite favorite
with automobilists.
Jack does not like a noisy car,
and when riding in one will make
quick shift if a quieter vehicle
happens along. He has not use
for wind shield either. prefer
ring to stand with his front feet
on the dashboard, feeding on wind
with evident relish when he is not
barking. His bark is pretty con-
slant, however, and the driver
who has him as passenger is not
obliged to toot his horn to any ex-
tent.
