INDUSTRY OF NEW ZEALAND

Auckland. NJ 1.-THE most impor.
tant industry Of New Zealand is that

try is admirably adapted. thanks to
the equable climate. the regularity of
the seasons. the uniform fall of rain.
and the suitability of the soil for grow

1T Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles = mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of little
thoughtful care in the selection of ef-
fective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and failing hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept 81 L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample OF
each, with 32-page booklet on skin and

Is generally visited. At present 1t is
many miles from railroad and few
people visit 1t in the course of year.
Those who make the trip, which is
usually done from the little northern
Wyoming town of Sundance, feel
amply repaid for their visit.
AS one approaches the DEVILS Tow
er his amazement and awe increase.
1t seems incredible that any forces OF
nature could have carved the solitary
monument that rears its head so far
above the brown plains. The sides OF
the tower rise sheer from the ground,
its sides of limestone being fiuted,
giving II an almost organ-like appear
ance. The rock presents the same ap-
pearance from every side, and to scale
1t seems to be an impossibility. 1t is
said that few years ago a man and
woman successfully negotiated the as
cent of the DEVILS Tower, but they
were compelled to drive iron spikes
in the face of the cliff and mount by
such artificial aids. To ascend the
tower without the use of some such
means would be an impossibility.
Some doubt has been cast on the story
Of the ascent, however, and many
claim that the summit has never been
reached.
1t is not unlikely that, In the course
of year or two the government will
send an official expedition to the top
of the DEVILS Tower monument, and
that stairways and ladders to the sum-
NIT will be constructed. Surveys
have been made and 1t is not impos-
sible to build series of ladders and
stairways by which the venturesome
may reach the top Of the rock.
The Indian legends concerning the
Devils Tower are many. the plain
tribes all regarded the rock with SUI
perstitious awe and the medicine men
ascribed its construction to the pow
ers of darkness. Probably this view
has been echoed by the white men in
christening the rock the DEVILS Tower.
Indian legends add not little to
the interest surrounding the Devils
Tower. Occasionally the rock is Wis
tied by Indians from adjoining reser-
vations, the Crows and Cheyennes be-
ing Acated about 200 miles westward,
while the Sioux stop at the tower
every year on their way from their
agencies in the Dakotas to attend the
Crow Indian fair at Grow agency. Red
men and white united in regarding
the great rock with awe. and pioneers
who remember the inspiring sight as
they crossed the plains. are glad that
the government has preserved this
great natural monument for the bene-
fit of posterity.

ment mas become custodian of many
remarkable attractions, which have
peen grouped under the head of ma
uonas monuments. and none OF these
is more wonderful than the little
known DEVILS Tower, in northern
Wyoming.
The Devils Tower is a gigantic
rock, 1850 feet high, rising sheer from.
the level plain. No doubt it is the
product of long ages of wind and wa.
ter erosion. 1t can be seen for hun
dreds OF miles on all sides, as 1t is in
a plains country. The rock would be
remarkable even If 1t were in a bro
ken and rugged country. but rising as
1t does from the open prairie, and
standing like lone sentinel amid the
vast and silent plains. its weird eff.
feet is intellectually heightened.
The Sioux, Cheyennes and Crows,
who made the country surrounding
the Devils Tower. their hunting
ground In early days, have many leg.
ends about this strange rock. In
later years, when the venturesome
white men began to push across the
northern plains. they utilized the
Devil $ Tower as guide post. The
landmark. looming up on the prairie,
served to enlighten many an emf
grant as to his wherea bouts.
Under the act of 1906, giving the
government the right to set aside all
such natural curiosities for the bene-
ut of the people, the Devils Tower
was one of the first national monu.
ments created. The Devils Tower
monument consists of about 1000,
acres. and preserves for all time this
landmark The tower is in charge of

FINDS AzTECS IDOL
Stone Man Dug Up at Durango,
Colo, Shows Signs of Art.
Renewed Activity In Explorations Of
New Mexico Ruins Leads to Dis
covery Of Mummy Of Ex-
tlnct Race.

Durango. Colo.-A renewed activity
in the explorations Of the Aztec ruins
located in the vicinity of Aztec. N. M.
by the residents of Aztec and Durango
has resulted over the discovery Of
either a stone idol or a mummy of the
extinct Aztec race by George CARING
house Of this city. who has brought to
light a relic of prehistoric ages and
aroused the curiosity Of antiquarians
and psychologists of this section.
The discovery was made by Mr..
Clearinghouse in an arroyo 30 miles
southwest Of Aztec and had been
partly uncovered by the recent rains.
1t either had been buried 80 feet un-
foreground or else the ground had been
washed over 1t to that depth The
finder insists on calling it stone man.
but Is cautious Of displaying 1t. not
allowing anyone to take picture of
II or to make thorough investigation
Of It.
In form It is similar to a prehistoric
man. being about four and half feet
tall, but abnormally wide through the
body IN proportion to its height In
thickness the body is only about FIVE
inches through and when found one
Of the legs was broken of at the knee.
While being unearthed the finder broke
OF the head and the other leg. but In
its entirety the image is in well-pre-
served condition.
The stone man or mummy gives
every indication of being the means Of
learning something concerning an ex-
tinct race 1t appears to have been an
idol sculptured from hard sandstone
which is found in abundance near the
ruins. and 1t seems to have been q
part Of bas-relief in the early ages.
The shoulders and arms form a con-
centric arc from the neck to the hands
with the face inclined to the left The
sculptural work displays fine art,
every little detail of man being clear
ly brought out. and may be possible
that the extinct race of Aztecs may
have been sculptors OF no mean ex-
tent
The curiosity Of the people Of this
section has been aroused to such an
extent that exploring parties are be-
ing formed to probe the ruins thor
oughly in anticipation of more results.
This is the first discovery of It's kind
ever made In the ruins, and so rare is
the specimen brought to light that the
finder, Mr.. Clearinghouse. is correspond
ing with the Smithsonian institution in
Washington. with the view of 1t being
placed in that mecca of science and
history. In the past scientists have ex.
plored the ruins but have never been
rewarded with anything but pottery
and small understanding to explain
the mode Of living Of the extinct race.
The one peculiar phase OF the un.
known history is that hundreds of
years ago the Aztec race suddenly
disappeared and no scientist has ever
been able to decipher where they went
or much Of their history. A thorough
exploration Of the ruins at this time
may result in discovering a great deal
OF historic information

London Shoemakers Have Known
This for Some Tire.
Day Of Narrow, Pointed Shoe Has
Passed and This ls Declared
to Be Factor In In
creased Size.

London.-That the women Of the
present generation have larger feet
than their mothers had, which, accord
Ing to cabled dispatches, was the
unanimous finding OF the National Con.
ference of American Shoe Manufacture
ers. came as something of a surprise
to society women. but not to their
shoemakers. They have known 1t for
a long time. but kept discreet silence
on the question.
Tho managers of Messrs. Seadon
Brothers. shoemakers to the king and
royal family in King street, St. James
said: Yes. It is quite true that women
are wearing bigger shoes nowadays.
and that 1t is easily accounted for.
The modern girl Is much taller than
her mother or grandmother was. That
ls the result OF the athletic exercises,
the outdoor sports and generally
healthier life she leads. See the wo-
men who are our customers. They all
belong to the upper classes. and they
are all tall. You cannot expect a tall
woman to wear small shoe. The day
Of the rs and 3s in shoes Is gone.
and ! should say that As are more
generally used for small women, while
tall women wear shoes that run up to
2 and 3.
Let me put in In another way. II
you examine the feet OF a domestic
servant you will note that. as a rule,
they are broad. the natural result OF
the amount of foot work she has to do.
30 1t has become with the modern
girl. She does SO much exercise on
loot that naturally her feet have grown
larger-she requires more comfortable
shoes-and our women will no longer
buy a shoe that has the least tendency
to pinch"
Francis Bauer of 40 and Al Burling-
ton arcade is another shoemaker
whose chief business Is supplying foot
wear to English society women. He
and his woman assistant showed much
Interest in the subject. and they
agreed that the statement made at the
American convention was correct, the
latter remarking: MY experience Is
that the English women's feet are
bigger than the feet of American wo-
men. We do not stock anything less
than As, because they are not wanted
now. indeed. young women of eigh-
teen to twenty-five years take sizes OF
and Z, whereas their mothers wore
as small as 2 and 3. But 1t does not
follow that because the girl OF today
Is taller ana bigger than her ancestors
and her feet are larger and developed
by the amount OF outdoor exercise in
which she INDUCES. that they are less
beautiful. On the contrary. the feet OF
the present-day girl are more symmet-
rical than they used to be. We have
