which in some of its characteristics was equal to our own
 But the ancient glory of this people had long since departed when Herman them on the coast of Yucatan in 1519. Their star had set. Their greatest cities had been abandoned and lay in ruins. Even the memory of the older cities of their culture. such as Palenque, Copan and Quirigua- for ex- ample, seems to have passed from the minds of men. their former existence forgotten. Probably the largest, and certainly the most magnificent, of the ruined cities which the Spanish con- Querors found on their arrival in Yu- cantan was Chichen Itza, around which even in its desolation there still cluster a thousand traditions of former sanctity and splendor. The name is Maya and means 'The Mouth of the Wells of the Itzas"
 ITO visit the ancient city now, one jolts for 15 long and weary miles in a two- wheeled cart drawn by three mules over the toughest kind of a highway imaginable. Finally. when it seems that the limit of physical en- durance has been reached, the cart suddenly lurches around a sharp turn in the road and as if by magic the lofty Castillo flashes into view, tower ing high above the plain and the rest of the city.
 This imposing structure the high est in Yucatan, rises 78 feet above the plain. The pyramid on which the tenn pie stands is 1e5 feet long" and covers about an acre of ground. It is made of terraces of faced masonry. each terrace elaborately paneled to relieve the monotony of effect. Up the center of each of it's four sides rises stair way 37 feet wide. These stairways have massive stone balustrades. carved to represent serpents, the heads being at the bases of the stairways and f1anking them.
 "The Castillo would seem to have been the center of the ancient city, and probably it's chief sanctuary. To the north lies the Sacred Cenote (wen) and the causeway leading to it. On the east is a vast group of buildings, col onnades. courts and pyramids, '4The City of Q Thousand Columns" as some one has picturesQuely described 1t. Due west is the group of structures known as the Ball Court. To the south for half a mile or more, scat tered through the jungle, are pyramids, courts. temples and palaces. The cen tral location of the Castillo with ref erence to all of these, as well as its great size and commanding height, argue strongly that 1t was the chief sanctuary of the Holy City. In an other structure, the House of the Tigers" are found the remnants of several beautiful mural paintings. One of these represents an attack by an enemy on a large city, splendidly ex- ecuted, and presents perhaps the most remarkable piece of aboriginal paint ing known to be in existence. The total area covered by the ruins has been estimated at 10 square niles Pan American Union, Washington, D. C., John Barrett, Director General.

CHAUFFEUR'S COLLAR BONE BROKEN
Fred Csuhier Pinned Under Steering Wheel When Machine Turned Turtle in Street in Baltic-Auto Crowded Of Into Gutter-Passing Machine Turned in too Close Ahead

When the seven passenger touring car owned by Angus Park and operat- ed by Fred Gauthier. MT. Parks cha uf- feur. turned turtle on Main street. near Mill street Baltic. Friday afternoon about o'clock, MT. Gauthier was pin ned beneath the steering wheel, receiv- ing a broken collar bone as the re- suit. MT. Gauthier had been to Nor wich with the machine and accomp- anied by Otto Ernst of this city was on the road back to Hanover when the accident happened.
 While driving up Main street, Bal tic, another car came up behind him and for several hundred feet the two cars were driven side by side. To avoid a collision Mir. Gauthier started to turn out to the right hand side of the road so as. to let the other car which was driven by Walter Aiiiner of Baltic, pass on in safety. However he was crowded to the side of the road, 1t Is claimed. At this point there is an abrupt drop for about two feet into the gutter. When the wheel hit the gutter the car tip- ped over and came to stop with the forward wheels resting against the fence in front of the house at s6 Main street.
 MT. Ernst escaped injury but Mr. Gauthier was caught and held down by the steering wheel. MT. Ernst sue Cee0eQ III EetI1ng NIT. I3uInleF ITOll underneath the car and he was taken to Norwich in a passing automobile owned by Archibald s. Spaulding and driven by Joseph Ring.
 At the Backus hospital examination showed that Gauthier was suffering from a broken collarbone and shock and had received number of bruises about his head and back. The touring car was considerably damaged, as the headlights and mud guards

were bent and the windshield was al- so damaged. The engine was not ma terially damaged and after the car had been lighted it was run to a Norwich garage under its own power for re- pairs.
 MT. Ernst, who was sitting in the seat in the machine to the left of Chauneur Gauthfer, was also thrown under the car as 1t turned over to the right. but was not caught and held so that he was able to crawl out and then lift the machine a little so as to drag the unconscious Gauthier out.
 The machine driven by Walter Mil ner, said Mir Ernst turned in so close ahead of Gauthier's machine, that Gauthier had to sheer off towards the gutter to save the front end of his car and that sent him into the gutter. The Milner car drove on without wait ing to see what had happened and was put up in the garage. Then MT. Mil ner returned to the scene of the acci- dent and az he came up was picked out by MT. Ernst as the man who had been driving the car that passed the Gauthier machine.
 There were a few warm words, Mfr Ernst said, exchanged between him self and MT. Miner. who told MT. Ernst that he would have to prove his statement that 1t was Miner who was driving the ear.
 JOsePn R1nS, Who happened along in an automobile, was hailed by Mr. Ernst. and as soon as he saw what was the matter. MT. Ring started off In his machine and brought pr. James c. Burr of Baltic. Chauffeur Ring also got a stretcher from the New Haven railroad station and this was placed in the Ring automobile to bring the injured chauffeur to the Backus hos pital.
 The automobile with the injured man in 1t met the automobile ambulance at the foot of Schodeld's hill in Greeneville. but 1t was not considered advisable to remove him to the hos pital ambulance as he was travelling as comfortably as possible on the stretcher in the automobile on the way to the Backus hospital.
 7 Chauffeur Gauthier, who has a rep utation as one of the most careful and expert drivers in the city was un- conscious when first taken out from under the car, but the recovered par tial consciousness soon and spoke sew era1 times on the way from Baltic when jolt of the car gave him a twinge of pain. He called Chauffeur Ring by name, saying, Co easy, Joe'

SUGGESTS EASY WAY TO HEAL
 SKIN HUMORS

A doctor writes: Tt is a pity to see so many people, especially babies, suf-- fering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and similar itching skin eruptions when there are several excellent ways to get rid of them. While no one of these methods can be expected to do the work in every case, perhaps the following is the most reliable. It is also very simple and inexpensive.
 "At any reliable druggists get jar or resinol ointment and a cake of res- incl soap. These will not cost a bit more than seventy five cents. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thoroughly until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinoi ointment, and cover with a light bandagerif necessary protect the clothing, This should be done twice a day.
 Usually the distressing itching aad burning stops with the first treatment. and the skin sssR baeefEnaS clear and healthy again. If you waRt ts try res incl ointment and resinol soap free, you can get saIaBies by writing te Dept. 2-R, ResiRei, Baltimore, Md"

WAITING THE CRACK
 or STARTERS PlsTAL.
Mstoreycle Riders and Hersemen Tuned Up For Fourth of July Races.

Everything is shipshape on the New London County fairgrounds for the mammoth motorcycle meet and horse races of the Connecticut Amusement association this afternoon. The track brushed all the week by men who know something about the production of perfect tracks for motorcycling and trottsng.
 Old-time horsemen say the half mile the trots, since 1889, a memorable year in the horse annals of Eastern Con- Eecticut.
 For the past two or three days the track has been in very active de- mand. The horse classes are full. The 2.20 trot or pace. for $500 purse, has half dozen good ones. The 2.30 will get out more good steppers. The run hing race has eight entries Several county horses are in this, but there will be others, and this little romp of half mile for half a hundred is go- ing to be one of the great big cards of the programme.
 The open motorcycle races will see some hard flights and some tight fin ishes. Burdick, the local flyer, has his new machine well in hand, and will, his friends predict, give the New York Hartford, and Springfield cracks a real run for their money.
 Cox, Driscoll, and Armes have never been here before, but each of the trio is vorched for as a real rider
 The town boys-Baldwin, Chappell. Davis, Ringland and Inderbitzen-will 1t is expected, have a battle royal in the local races They will all have their partisans on hand to holler, and it will be a sharp race from the crack of the starters pistol. It Is a speedy quintet, and the winners time may not be so very far behind the time of the man that finishes in front in the open race for the same distance
 The talk on the street last night was to the effect that the running race Is going to provide quite a lot of fun for the crowd. Something was said, not about dark horSe-but about a white one-that Is entered from Preston. This animal horse. historians say, is won a race pulling lumber wagon on the same track. His owner Is a prominent resident of Preston. There are. in fact. three Preston horses in this race.
 The band will play in front of the Wauregan house at l. Arrived at the grounds. there will be a short concert before the first race is called at sharp. The whole card will probably be run off in two hours, or maybe a little longer. and there will be no dull spots on the programme. The band and Announcer Billy Beckwith, will both take care of that.
 The Norwich fairgrounds are 90 acres big. The 10000 people expected will not crowd one another, and the grandStand accommodations are ann pie. A great many people are coming from New London, Westerly, Willi- mantle, Putnam, Danielson, and in deed, from practically every town as far north as Webster. and as far east as Hope Valley. There will be auto parties from many Connecticut cities, and the motorcycling fraternity Is coming from all over.
 There will be branch ticket office at Fagan's Smoke Shop, 1892 Main street, for the accommodation of la dies and others that wish to avoid the crowd at the gate.

MExico'S ANCIENT cIVILIZA-
 TONS.
Remarkable Ruins of Chiehen ltza,
 the "Holy City" of the Mayas.


 For many centuries Mexico has been the home of many races. Most of us are wont to regard it as the home of only the Aztecs with whose civili- zation Prescott and the early Spanish chroniclers have made us more or less familiar. The archaeologist and stud ent of pre-Columbian and pre- historic times, however knows that there were races, especially in southern Mexico and parts of Central America, whose ancient civilization had no connection with the empire of the Montezumas, and whose wonderful works. long ago fallen into decay and ruin, are now the subjects of scientific research and study To Americans at least these should be as interesting as the ruins cf arcient Egypt or the buried cities ct Asfa and the Far East

Morley writes.
 ''L6ng before the discovery of Amer iea there f1ourishsd in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and parts of Honduras a. great civilization. which has been called the Maya, It may be said with out exaggeraiien that this civilization had reached a height equalled by no other people of the Western Hemis . phere prior to the coming of the white man. In architecture, sculpture, and in painting the Nayas excelled. Their priests were astronomers of no mean ability. having observed and recorded, without the aid of instruments of pre- cision such as are known to us, the lengths of the Solar and Venus years, and probably the lengths of the Mer- cury and Mars years. In addition to this they had developed a calendar system and perfected a chronology
