A Notable Sunday Issue

Yesterdays Age-Herald was notable for the wide variety of news presented and for it's illustrations. The Asso- ciated Press dispatches are, of course, found only in The Sunday Age-Herald and everyone depends on these dis patches for chronicle of the worlds daily events told completely and ac- curately.
 But every department of yester- days issue was interesting The gen. eral illustrations were exceptionally attractive, while the Rotogravure Sec tion was commented upon as one of the best The Age-Herald has yet pro- duced The Sunday Age-Herald is'the only newspaper in the southern states which gives it's readers a Rotogravure Section-the greatest newspaper fea- ture of the present generation. The people of Alabama feel that this Roto- gravure Section is their own and in all parts of the state they are co-operat- ing in assembling attractive pictures and making The Age-Herald Roto- gravure a subject of complimentary comment on Alabama all over the Uni ted States.
 Yesterdays Age-Herald contained 525 separate and distinct advertise ents, occupying 2336 inches of space. The issue consisted of six parts, mak- ing total of AS pages.

STONE AGE INDIAN DEAD

immediately tagged him as possible survivor of the Yahi tribe.
 Sitting upon the side of his cot in the insane cell, Ishi, uncertain of his fate answered "ulsi" q don't under stand) in Yana, the language of his tribe, to a broadside of questions in Spanish, English and half dozen In- dian languages. A few weeks later he was taken in charge by the department of anthropology and became "scien- tific specimen" at the museum, and later assistant janitor.
 With two twigs to assist him Ishi produced fire out of thin air; with nimble fingers he produced monstrous fishnets; fashioned with flake of elk antler the finest of arrowheads led scientists to the ancient haunts of his vanished tribe and initiated them into the inmost details of primitive life and ancient lore; explained his religious and mythical ideas, but threw wall of reserve around his parents and his movements in the years preceding his capture. From Ishi's impressions of present day civilization scientists col lected many curious and interesting points which may be used in filling up the many blank spaces in primitive history
 According to the history of the Yahi tribe compiled by Prof. T. T. Waterman of the university, who has been a close friend and observer of Ishi, the Indian was one of small party of survivors of Yahis, who fled to the hills east of the Sacramento in 1865, after suffering almost complete extermination at the hands of an armed band of whites.
 In 1908 evidences of the survival of four of the tribe, which summed both Indians and whites as enemies, was discovered, when they still used the bow and arrow and other aboriginal appli- ances, and were, according to Professor Waterman, absolutely unfamiliar with the usages of civilization.
 Ishi has told the museum scientists that one of the survivors of whom evil dence was found in 1908 was his sister; another, his mother, and the fourth, an old man. All were dead when Ishi unwittingly passed the borders of civil lization and became scientific speci- men,

COL. HARVEY OPENS FIRE

From the Knickerbocker Press.
 Col. George Harvey, discoverer of pr. woodrow Wilson. and chief pro mulgator of the doctors virtues until he was admonished by the discovered nerson that withdrawal of support would be worth more than assistance. has cast a few shells from the 16-inch rifles of the North American Review in the direction of Fort Daniels-just to find the range. Colonel Harvey uses such unparliamentary nouns. adverbs and ad1ectives, in a brief discussion of our first lord of the admiralty, as these:
 shifty suppression
 deceit disingenuous
 disagreeable delude
 arbitrary shameIully
 uniust demoralization
 disheartenment ignorance
 distortion prazenly
 emasculated supterluse
 deception inadequate
 inaccurately
 Colonel Harvey adds the assurance that the term "a daniels" is now famil- far throughout the navy as synonym OuS With shorter ana, IT concelVd- ble, uglier word. He appends his pledge that
 "There for the present we shall leave the Secretary of the Navy, drearily hoping and faithfully promising to ignore other phases. no less savory, of his naladministration unless finally confronted by the dread certainty that
 "A vote for Wilson is vote for Daniels"
 From which it may be concluded that the editor of the North American Review has perhaps been invited by the Secretary of the Navy, as he was by the Secretary's eminent superior. to dissemble his affection and to aid the cause by concealing his support of it.

Situation in Mexico

The failure of the United States troops to catch Villa in their initial dash after the bandit, which was not due to any fault of their own, probab- ly means that the United States has entered upon a new series of compli-
 cations with our troublesome neighbor to the south. The refusal of Carran- ga to permit the use of Mexican rail ways for transporting supplies and the necessity of maintaining lines of communication through a desert and potentially hostile country, makes the work of General Pershing increasing ly difficult. In fact, further advance ment into Mexico but adds to the ob- stacles encountered in forwarding supplies and policing the line of com- munication. With the forces at pres ent under his command, General Persh- ing has already proceeded as far as he can go with safety. A much larger force will be required and there is ever the possibility of trouble with the Carranza troops to be considered.
 Latest advices from the border are not at all encouraging. The capture of Villa is more remote now than ever, it seems, and the scope of operations has vastly increased. There is every reason to believe that Villa is stronger than he was when the pursuit began. He has scattered his forces for strate- gic reasons, but he unquestionably has an army of several thousand men which may be augmented by reinforce ments. Unless the unforeseen hap pens, he is comparatively safe and every day that passes adds to his se- curity. The fact that he has eluded and continues to elude the American troops will impress the peons. Instead of being merely fugitive with a handful of bandits at his heels, he is still a military leader with consid- erable force behind him. His power has not waned as much as the optim- istic press reports at first indicated.
 !Yhis is no time for pessimism, but inean if there is no clash with the Car nnxa troops, which might precipi-

Authorities have recently discovered some highly ingenious food adulterations, by which the ultimate consumer" is made to believe that he is buying fresh products, when as matter of fact, they are no longer fit to eat Watering" oys- ters and painting fish gills to make them look fresh are two practices that have already been commented on by the neEs- papers of the country. State Food h. spector w. J. Milzel of Wisconsin, says that old potatoes treated with a solution of lye can be made to look like genuine early potatoes. The resemblance is so close that experts are unable to tell the difference MT. Mikel was led to make an investigation by @ report that potG- toes of this sort were being marketed in the middle west. Six months ago Mir NIikel attracted attention by tracing sand ed'' chickens sent from Wisconsin to Chi cago packing houses. Farmers starved broilers for three days and then fed them lake shore sand, by which they added three-quarters of a pound to the weight of the fowls. District Attorney Swann of New York has announced that steps will be taken to stop the shipment of ''sanded" chickens from the west.

 New York correspondence, Pittsburg
 Dispatch.
 At dinner one night recently Irwin s. Cobb. the humorist, told story which has to do with 'The Birth of . Nation" According to Cobb, the press agent of that picture was endeavoring to obtain testimonials from prominent citizens of Savannah, Ga. In this en- terprise he approached Mrs. James Cor don, widow of General Gordon, who led one the notable Confederate charges in the battle of Gettysburg. T really havn't seen the picture" re- piled Mrs. Gordon, but my friends who have tell me that it is great. Also they say that 1t deals chiefly with the civil war and is called the The Birth of a Nation.' Now l lived through those four years of the civil war, and if that was the birth of nation it certainly wasn't any twilight sleep"
