Some Arizonians.

San Diego. Cal, Jan. - Former
expositions have shown wild men
and women from the Antipodes,
but it has remained for the San
Diego Exposition to find a whole
nation of wild men within the bor-
ders of the United States. a whole
vast area where nothing has pro
crossed since before the invasion of
Mexico by COrtez in 1917. This
area is in northeastern Arizona, and
The Santa Fe Railway will cover
ten acres of ground at the Exposi.
ton with as close a copy Of this
country as is possible to produce.
This locality is known as the
Painted Desert Its a land where
no white man has dared attempt
agriculture or mining, where there
is nothing but the Indian, his an
cient civilization un-altered, living
in six story houses of 100 rooms
without an outside door, doing the
same things in the same way his
fOrefathers did for centuries before
white men came to America.
Comparatively few white men
have penetrated this district. None
has remained there. At long inter
walls a scientist has penetrated the
Businesses of the red and yellow
hills. Indians emerge from it Oc-
casionally but they invariably re-
turn. Their homes are the identi-
cal buildings erected many CEN
turtles ago. Their pottery is the
same. used for the same purpose

"If little country like Switzerland can

TENNESSEE DETECTIVE SEES.
SUBWAY AND PRIZE FIGHT
Alarmed by Noise of One and Not :
Impressed by the other.

Bob Corbett, best detective of Nash-s
Vile, Tenn; started home this afternoon
much impressed with Philadelphia He
is coming back as soon as he gets
leave of absence and some more expense
money.
Corbett had business in town. He came
here to escort Harry Quick, back to
Nashville, where 1t is said Quick failed
to pay his board bill and passed several
worthless checks. Quick was arrested In
a Philadelphia hotel last week.
Among the things Corbett saw yester-
day for the first time was subway and
a prize fight, He was on his way to the
prize fight with Detectives -Lowrey- and
Knox and was crossing the City Hall
plaza as a train rumbled beneath his
feet. He elung giddily to trolley pole
He admitted that he thought there was
ar earthquake, He once felt an earth
quake In Tennessee he said and the sem
satlon was the same.
He made several round trips on the
subway before going TO the fight. De-
tectiye Corbett was dressed for the oc-
casion. He wore evening clothes and
tan shoes that he brought along with
him in the event he was entertained.
OF the prize fight Corbett had little to
say. He thought it was a futile way to
end a quarrel. In Tennessee he said
that IL a gentleman had grudge against
another they settled II with their guns.
Mr.. Corbett had a good time So did
his entertainers. II was the first de-
tective from Tennessee that they had
ever met.
