IDOL IS A PUZZLE
Carving at Copan, Honduras,
Mystery to Scientists.
Evidently Intended to Represent EIe
plant, But Strange Thing Is
Where the Sculptor Could
Have Got His Model.

Where did the prehistoric inhabit-
ants OF Central America get their idea
of an elephant as modelled in an elab-
orately-carved idol at Copan? For
there never we're any elephants in
America. Dr.. G. Elliott Smith of the
University OF Manchester. England
writes to Nature that this is certainly
a picture OF an Indian elephant.
1t is equally clear" writes Pro
lessor Smith that the sculptor Of the
monument was not familiar with the
actual animal. for. according to Doc
tors Maudslay and Seller. he has mis-.
taken the eye for the nostril, and the
auditory meatus for the eye. and rep
resented the tusk mote its relation to
the lower lip and the ventral surface
or the trunk in a conventionalized
manner. without any adequate realiza-
ton OF the true nature OF the features
he was modelling.
Having converted the auditory
meatus into an eye the sculptor had
TO deal with the auditory pima. the
meaning OF which no doubt was puz-
zle to him. He solved these diff
metrical pattern. which. however he
WAS careful to restrict 10 the area &C
cupied by the relatively small pima
that is distinctive of the Indian spe
Giles OF elephant.
The designer also lost his bearings
when he came to deal with the tur-
baned rider OF the elephant No doubt
in the original model the riders leg
WAS obscured by the pima: but in the
Copan sculpture he has lost his trunk
also.
IAN these features go to prove quite
conclusively that the sculpture repre-
sents an elephants head. and that 1t
was not modelled from the real crea-
ture In other words. the craftsman
WAS copying an earlier model (presum-
ably made by some immigrant from
Asia without understanding the
points OF the elephant"
Professor Smith calls attention to
several other representations OF the
elephant in America that possess many
strange details in common with the
earlier sculptured representations Of
that animal IN India. Also that the
pre-Columbian Mexicans played the
complicated Indian game called pa
chisi, that some OF the Aztec picture
writings are a series OF scenes taken
from the japanese Buddhist temple
scrolls. He calls ludicrous the attempt
to identify these elephants with blue
mAcRws. and he cites many remark
able condolences between the attri-
butes Of Tlaloc. the Mexican elephant
headed god OF rain, thunder and light
ming. and those OF the Hindu Indra,
also god OF rain. thunder and light
ming.
His conclusion is that the Hindu
god Indra was adopted in Central

BABY WEEK

In the Iroquois fire the toll was GOO
lives. The Pelee volcanic eruption
cost 10000 lives. When the Titanic
went down LOO were sacrificed. Ev-
eryone knows these facts.
But do you know how many babies
die in Chicago every year?
Do you know in what part of the
city the infant mortality is greatest! !
Here are some facts: During 1913
1854 babies under two years of age
died in Chicago. 6,155 died who
might have grown up into good citi-
zens-enough inhabitants to make a
large-sized town. When we estimate
this in national figures, the amount
makes disasters like Pelee and Mes
sina shrink into insignificance. Out of
every five deaths last year one was a
baby under one year old.
Have you read how the whole world
is taking up the conservation of ba-
bies? We are conserving our forests,
our mines, our waterpower. What are
we doing to conserve human life, our
greatest national asset?

PAY.Up WEEK

"Pay-Up Week" is national in it's
scope. The Times believes Oakes
people will all benefit themselves by
observing "Pay-Up Week" with the
enthusiasm and the thoroughness its
Importance deserves. If every mer-
chant in Oakes could receive large
proportion of his present book ac-
counts in cash during the week of Feb.
2l to Feb. 26, he would be in posi-
tion to pay off his own indebtedness,
and to make improvements in his own
business that he may have long plan
ned but long deferred for lack of
ready cash. These improvements
mean more work for the working peo-
pie, and the money would he back in
circulation, back in the pockets of the
men who paid it on their bills, within
= surprising short time.
"Pay-Up Week" is q good thing
Push it along by paying your. bills, in
full il possible, or as near in full as
you can. 1t will make every body feel
better, and add to the prosperity Of
Oakes, which means that it will add
to the prosperity of the entire com.
munity.

the BIRTH OF A NATION-AN
ECHO OF THE LOST CAUSE

One Of the most touching situations
in "The Birth of q Nation" is the,
meeting Of the Southern brother and
sister at the old doorway after the
war.
Four years before she had been a
happy, carefree little girl, petted and
waited upon hand and foot by her'
fathers faithful slaves-and he had
been fine young Southern gentle
man.
Now they meet for the first time
since the grand old days-in rags and
poverty-all but heartbroken-their
slaves gone.
The fury of an age has passed over
their youthful heads since just four
years ago, and oh! what a succession
Of miseries has befallen the proud
Cameron family since that eventful
night.
Flora and Ben's two younger BROTH
ers had first been taken by the car
mage of battle; their stately Southern
home had been again and again sack
ed, pillagcd and set on fire by ma
rauding bands of guerillas and this
tenderly reared family, which had
never known else than ease and lux
ury, had been brought down to pow
erty-even want.
Their once contented slaves had fol-
lowed the smooth-talking carpetbag-
gers, and now had foolish ideas in
their heads. Instead of the former
faithful servants, they had now be-
come like the rest of their kind, a
dangerous menace to the country.
! The great plantation was deserted
full of weeds and riddled from the
ons.aughts of war-even the once
cheerful and prosperous Piedmont
street, upon which their mansion
stands, is now tenantless, except for
the rioting negroes whom occasionally
take possession of it to tcrrorize the
whites; tattered, deserted relic of
the past.
And now the little sister waits to
greet her brother for the first time
since the terrible changed conditions
Never would either forget the nigh,
he proudly departed up that village
street, at the head of his regimei.t
1t was on the night after the Confed
