have caved out Of the Missouri rivers
banks at different points in South Da.
kota.
At q meeting of psychologists held at
the University of South Dakota. Doctor
Ward and Mr.. Over presente their evil
dence.
While waiting for a ferry boat on the
west side of the Missouri river to cross
LeBeau, South Dakota, my attention
was attracted by crushed bones in an
old soil layer of the rivers high cut
bank. These bones were located about
fifty feet above the water and four feet
beneath the present soil surface. To
an archaeological student these crushed
bones are always an indication of a
nearly Indian camp site. Upon further
investigation l discovered some old buff
falo bones, fragments of pottery, a flint
knife. charcoal ashes and. fine flakes
mingled with the crushed bones. At
the time of the cause of an old Indian
site being buried so deep below
the present surface was attribu-
ted to some local phenomenon and no
further attention was paid to it. This
was in November, 1912.
In August, 1915, while doing research
work for the museum of the University
of South Dakota in the old Arikara viii
lage sites north of Fort Pierre, l noted
the same soil layer over n hundred
from the LeBeau observation. At this
point 1 found bone spades, pottery frag-
ments, and undisputable evidence of
camp fires. This was evidence that the
building up of the top soil layer at the
LeBeau site was not due to local causes
for the two camp sites although q hun.
dred miles apart were in the same soil
layer.
On the present soil surface and only
a few rods from the Fort Pierre camp
site, the old Arikara village sites are
located. 1t had been heretofore gen.
orally understood that the Arikara In
dams were probably the oldest settlers
in the territory that is now South Da-
kota.
However, the finding OF the evidence
of a camp site in an earlier soil layer
almost directly under the Arikara vii
lage sites and the knowing of the ex-
istence of another camp site a hundred
miles north in the very same soil layer
conclusively proved to me that men
lived in South Dakota hundreds of years
before the Arikara Indians inhabited
this locality.
During July and August of 1917
while l was doing research work on the
Arikara village sites along the Nilsson
ri river from Mobridge to Pierre. &C
companied by my assistant. Ralph Van
Tuyl, and DR.. Freeman Ward. state
%geologist, who was making a geological
survey to determine the existence Of
oil and gas along the Missouri river, a
thorough investigation of the of the
previously mentioned LeBeau and Fort
Pierre camp sites was made and sever
al similar sites were discovered. One
of tnese is located al the old town
site of Evarts, some are near Fairbank
and others are near the Cheyenne
Agency.
None of this evidence was found on
the overflow flood plains but from 20
to 40 feet above the Missouri r ver's
high water mark and on either side OF
the river. No bones of animals that
lived in pre-glacial times couldbe found
in this old soil layer and this leads tc
the conclusion that the building up Of
the present soil layer took place in q
more recent geological period.

In years past nearly every North
Dakota newspaper has published ar
ticles concerning parties who became
lost in storms in this country, but it
is most unusual to get news of any
one lost in a fog. One night last
week two of Ed Hills little girls,
aged and 8 years, and Carl Zotman's
girl, aged 16, who live near Wales,
started out to look for their cows. AS
the girls did not return the parents
became frightened and before long the
whole town of Wales was organized
as a searching party. The church
bell was rung almost all night and
the searchers stayed out until four
o'clock in the morning. At five in
the morning they started again and
soon found the girls who realized they
were lost in the dense fog and, upon
reaching straw stack, took straw
and made a bed and cried themselves
to sleep. They had heard the church
bell ring and had also heard members
of the searching parties, who were
close to them, but the girls were
afraid and did not venture out from
their straw bed. They said they were
afraid the stack might be set afire SO
carried straw out a distance from the
stack and made themselves as COM
Portable as possible in that way. None
are reported as being any the worse
for their unusual experience.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-No man
can ever understand mother love.
Mother love is like electricity, as
powerful to destroy as to create.
1t is the greatest force in the
world. Interfere with its express
sion and the meddler will be
clawed to pieces.
If can make men understand
this wonderful, irresistible, prim-
eval passion that drives a mother
to risk the gallows to protect her
offspring, then you will have SYM
pathy for the unfortunate Mrs. De
Saulles.
De Saulles failed to understand
the danger he ran when he kept
her child from its mother.
Mothers Forgive.
According to man-made laws
Mrs. De Saullee committed a great
crime in killing her husband. But
we mothers understand. We
know what it means to be robbed
of baby. We forgive her.
I can feel everything this young
wife suffered.
Neglected by her gay Broadway
loving husband, and compelled in
order to preserve her self-respect
to seek a divorce, she felt the re-
finemnt Of add cruelty when her
husband sought to keep from her
her golden-eyed and coral-lipped
baby.
The first hour without her boy,
Mrs. De Saulles was just lonely
and sad. The next, abe was nerv-
GUS and restless. Then she was
anxious and hungering to hug her
own flesh and blood.
Then the world became empty
and black. She became frantic,
and finally insane.

tue. Juts as q mighty Honess will

PREMIER
DEFENDS
COUNCIL

LONDON, Nov. 19.-"America
would have preferred a council
with even greater powers" declar-
ed Premier Lloyd George in the
house of commons this afternoon
in defending his plan of an inter-
allied council for the direction of
the war.
- Lloyd George fought the fight
of his political life this afternoon
and his strongest weapon was
President Wilson's powerful sup
port.
Gen. Pershing was among the
commanders who agreed to the
council last July, the premier de-
clared.
Generals Pershings, Foch of
the French staff, Robertson and
Cadorna agreed" Lloyd George
said.
Continuing, the premier declar-
ed that it was Lord Kitchener who
first suggested an inter-allied
council plan following the opening
debate by former Premier AS
quith, Lloyd George declared that
no criticism was directed against
the staffs of the commanders in
chief of England or any other
country in his speech in Paris.
Opening the debate, Asquith de-
clared his own complete support
of the utmost coordination
which conditions would permit"
1.-THE allies consultative ma
chinery has been inadequate and
Its effects grievious," declared
Lloyd George opening his defense.
Facing combination of his en-
emies drawn together from all
ranks of all parties in the house
of commons by alarm lest Eng
lands army system be changed by
a supreme inter-allied war coun-
Gil, and further cemented by the
Welsh statesman's brutal frank
ness" in his recent Paris speech,
the premier was regarded as GER
tain to emerge victorious.
Backing From Wilson.
The declaration for unity Of
purpose in q war council included
in President Wilson's message to
Col. House, head of the American
mission here, was timed too aptly
with the crisis in the Lloyd George
matter not to suggest to many
British politicians that President
Wilson saw the chance of aiding
the British premier to achieve that
unity OF purpose which America
feels essential for winning the
war.

Corning was overcome by gas
at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. A
leaking gas main in an alley be-

into the rear of the store, where
the Waterman had tiny office.
