From the New York Times.
building of the Museum Of the American
Indian, an institution to be devoted to the
solving Of the great mystery OF the origin
hemisphere.
Archer M. Huntington has given to the
institution a site with a frontage OF 6
Hundred and Fifty-hfth street and ada
cent to the group of buildings of which
the Hispan.c museum is the center. This
plans for the proposed museum provide
Cor a structure with a basement and four
stories. which will be IN the same style
as that of the building of the American
Geographical society.
Friends of George G. Heye. who has
gathered the notable collection which is
to be placed in the structure, have sub
engagements are now being made to raise
the additional SiG0.GW for the equipment.
The collection itself, which includes 400, 600
specimens, and is valued at $4,000 is to
OF trustees, who are Also to take title to
the real estate. This marks the passing
collections ever gathered by one man.
Mr.. Reye has been from boyhood in
terested in the history OF the American
Indians. His decision to found a museum
dedicated to the red men was formed q
years ago when, as a college student, he
spent a vacation in Arizona. There he
saw many of the remains left by ancient
peoples. A man of wealth., he has since
that time sent out 30 expeditions to all
parts OF North and South America. The
results of some of these expeditions proved
to be of unusual scientific Importance.
The museum will include the best collec-
tons of Ecuadorean and West Indian
chronological and archaeological specimens
IN the world. -Four expeditions are now
in South American countries in the in
terest Of the Institution.
The arrangements for showing the col
tections will be on original lines now be-
Ing planned. One Of the most important
features OF the museum will be the relics
from the isles of the Caribbean sea. which
illuminate the history of the tribes which
existed there at the time of Columbus.
There are several paddles of a pattern
which were pictured in works published IN
the days of the discoverer, but had not
been seen for centuries. Several years
ago two of the type were found by one of
the Heye expeditions.
The collections include rare and beau
tiful objects In gold and marble which
have never been seen by any one except
a small group OF scientists and friends
Of the founder. Many of these are of the
highest artistic quality and reveal skill
and civilization which cast a new light
on the history Of the aborigines. Among
them ..s a sculptured howl of white mar
BILE which connoisseurs say rivals in beau
ty the finest works of European or Asiatic
art. Another example is a portion of e.
vase bearing figures In relief which sug-
gest the work of classic antiquity. The
collections include wood carvings OF e3-
ceptionally artistic design.
The museum Is strong In material bear

United States. and the collections of bas-
kerry, of bead and feather and Quill work
are especially valuable

KITCHENER PATHETIC
IN HIS RACHEL0RH0OD

Londch.-Perhaps none outside his
Immediate family Vas more grief
stricken at the news OF Lord kltch-
ener's tragic death than Queen Alex
andra. The effectiveness OF the soldier
to the queen-mother had long been
notable, and there was a Very strong
bond of sympathy between these two,
undoubtedly two of the loneliest figures
prominent in contemporary London
Indeed there was something pathetic
in the lonely bachelorhood of the wal
secretary, who occasionally to his inti-
mates dropped remarks bearing on his
lack of home and near relatives. Not a
week passed during the War in which
he had not paid a visit to Marlborough
housed where he would remain for long
visits with Queen Alexandra, and come
away with q long list of those compat-
ants of whom her friends had made
special inquiries. However pressing the
demands of the campaigns on the r
O fronts, he would always return
within a few days with the desired in
formation.
Lord Kitchener had promised to be
the queen-mother's guest during the
coming summer at Sandringham. He
constantly had ladies to lunch at his
seat in Kent, Broome Hall, near Can't
erbury, on Sundays, and would show
them how he was developing his gar
dens and dilate to them on the beauties
of his china. Younger women We're con-
spicuous by their absence at these
times, the guests being chiefly peeresses
and experts on gardening as we'll as the
wives of men who had served under
him in various campaigns.
AT York House, st. James Palace, he
game a numbe of dinner parties to
men only, the military element being
not always conspicuous at these. He
e doctors, though cared nothing for
actors or musicians. Several of the
higher clergy in London enjoyed his
friendship and hospitality.
! Lord Kitchener was personally well
known TO the owners of many of the
more expensive curiosity shops in Lon
don. He would bargain over purchases,
: but did not possess the commercial
sense, and in the end would always IA
a good price, usually on his own initia-
tive. The dealer generally received a
check The day after delivery, the check
being quite often post-dated a month

An 1rishman. having arrived in New

with a lumber merchant. Later he was
ordered to take Il load of lumber some

Automobile Races Have Wrought Big
Changes in Cars.

In the current issue OF Farmland Fire
side writer says
"'The automobile races in which cars
are subjected to a terrific strain have
brought out the weaknesses of different
machines, and have aided designers in
getting the proportions just right for
emergency use,
Big, unsightly tenders have given way
to crowned tenders of least wind resist
anee. High, awkward tops have been re-
placed by low, graceful ones. Hoods and
body lines have been constantly refined
to give a graceful sweeping effect. Bulky
tool boxes and large attachments of va
rious kinds have become less conspicu-
Gus, and heavy, overstrong and large
have been succeeded by light
yet strong parts which give greater tire
and gasoline mileage Modern cars can
now make a greater mileage on poor
gasoline than the old single.cylinder and
two-eylinder cars did on high-test gaso-
line. Standardization of parts and in

claimed Miss Carlisle. They are ravish-
ing-so sunlit, Astounding in freshness
and beauty Do you realize that they
are so brilliant that | can never show
paintings of American gardens in the
same room with English gardens. because
they make them look quite dreary?
Their one fault is that there is often too
much statuary in them, and much of it
irrelevant Frequently, too, they are not
rambly enough, and seem little self
conscious. In English gardens small paw
ing stones mellow with years are used,
and the furnishings add that warmth
which breeds intimacy 1t is the in
formal garden that attracts the artist.
In England these abound, with their
winding paths passing through uneven
hedges Of many varieties of flowers. That
uneven hedge, flashing forth vivid colors,
one seldom sees in America, probably be-
cause Of the fuctuating climate and the
vogue Of more formal arrangement"
