EXPLORE SITE OF OLD CITY
Smithsonian Expedition Expects Good
Results From Excavations Going
on Near zunI, N. M.

The Smithsonian excavations near
Zuni, N. NJ, begun in May, are un-
covering the ancient ruins Of Ha-
waiku. Hawaiku was one of the
"Seven Cities of Cibola," and, al
though now a ruin-almost obliter-
ated until these excavations began
was a scene Of human activity, when
Coronado passed that way in 1542.
1t will require at least three years to
complete the work. The expedition
employs 20 Zuni Indians. Hawaiku
ruins lie in a valley 10 miles west of
the village where the Zuni tribe now
lives, near the Arizona border. The
main walls of the ruins originally
were massive, but, composed of adobe
"a material which soon crumblesun-
less frequently repaired-they now
lie in shapeless pile. Beneath this
pile the walls of the ground floors
remain well preserved, however, and
these the expedition is now endeavor-
ing slowly and with extreme care to
uncover.

WHY JAPAN IS so CROWDED
Area Of Eastern Island Empire Is
Small, With Little Arabic Land
and Big Population.

When we grasp the smallness of
Japan and the size of its population,
we readily understand why the land
is so crowded. Japan proper is
narrow and diminutive country. It's
area of roughly 10000 square miles
is somewhat smaller than that Of
California, while its population is
twenty times as great, observes Asia.
Moreover, like Italy, Japan is chiefly
a country of mountains and its arabic
land under cultivation amounts to
only some $4,000 square miles,
farm area less than one-half of the
single state of Iowa. 1t follows that
Japan is the classic land Of intensive
agriculture. It's dwarf farms are not
really farms at all in our sense of
the word, but gardens. There are no
pastures, no barnyards, but merely
little squares of land, now covered
with water, now filled with mud dry.
ing in the sun, and now vividly green
with the beautiful rice plants. These
little patches of terraced and irri-
gated land have nothing in common
with our 160-acre farms. In Japan
the average agricultural family (and
there are five and half millions Of
them) occupies only two and three
quarters acres. Only one family in
ten has as much as five acres 1.-TWO
cho) and over one-third of all rural
families have farms of less than one
and one-quarter acres. 1t is NOR
cellement carried to a tragic abb

WHERE C0RNBREAD PERSISTS
Used by Thousands Of WelI-to.Do Peo.
pie in South in Cities and Towns
as Well as in Country.

In response to Champ Clark's ad-
vice that there should be a greater
use of corn as food, the epicure Of
the New York Sun makes this sage
observation concerning cornbread:
at was well thought Of In this
country as human food, 80, 40, perhaps
80 years ago. But In an unfortunate
day even poor folks began to neglect
corn. Dressed up as homlny It stlll
had certain popularity; parents were
willing that their children should eat
IL thus. Treated with baking powder,
salt, plenty of rich cream and butter,
ii was still made into hot bread some
We're not ashamed to eat"
This serves chiefly In this part of
the country to show how little the
South and Southerners are computed
as part Of the country, and how lit
tie they know In New York and other
supposed enlightened centers of what
constitutes good eating, says the Nash
vile (Tenn.) Banner.
II Is assuredly not necessary to use
the past tense when corn as human
food Is spoken of In the South. Corn
bread Is used preferably by thousands
of well-to-do people of the South, In
the cities and towns, as well as In the
rural districts.
Bob Taylor used to say one essen
tlal difference between the South and
North Is "hot biscuit and cold light
bread" The negro cooks In the South
made hot bread for each meal prac-
ticable, while the thrifty housewives
of the North had baking days." when
enough bread was baked for week.
That was where the difference mainly
lay.

HIS WAYS AND MEANS
Chauffeur Is Caught by an Heir
eSS.
BY CATHERINE cooPE.

When the smash came, Jimmy Con-
stable was totally unprepared for 1t.
There had been no warning that his
stocks would crash down and leave
him with less ready capital than he
had possessed when he began to
speculate. But the certain knowledge
that stocks ascend as readily, kept
Jimmy from mental worry
I'm the meantime-I must live"
Jimmy cast rueful glance at his big,
healthy frame and sighed. After that
he donned his slightly worn thinking
cap and sat down to ponder ways and
means. In the end, he decided to
maintain his right to a pleasurable
existence as well as q money-making
one.
Jimmy Constable had but one hob
by, and that was big one. He loved
his great, speedy touring car almost
as well as most men love their wives.
Jimmy had not, fortunately for the
moment, acquired one of the latter.
1t would have worried him to know
that a girl would have to share with
MIN MS pTeseHI uuOTo OT less pTeCaTl-
Gus fortunes.
He sold every priced bit of costly
antique furniture with which his
bachelor home was filed to over
flowing, but retained his touring car.
Jimmy gazed with a lovers eyes
at the polished brasses, the olive
green coat and the great cozy cush-
ions.
you will be my home-till-"
Jimmy paused with Speculative eyes,
well, until stocks take a boost" He
cast last look at the home in which
the auction cards we're still hanging
in the windows, cranked his engine
and throbbed off toward the green
fields Of the country.
On the wide veranda of q spacious
mountain hotel, Madge Lambert
raised a dainty hand to her mouth
to stife yawn.

herself by way of excuse She gazed

Life In Sicily Odd MIXTURE.

The cities Of Sicily deserve TO be

Palermo with Its beautiful harbor.

An exceptionally good-looking
chauffeur had stepped from the car
and was preparing q campfire. Madge
Lambert shivered in the cool noun
tain air and realized that the fire
looked cozy. She watched the man
heat something In a swinging pail,
then stretch himself out to enjoy his
lunch.
Madge envied the man his com

more than all. she longed for the Joy
which the possession OF that motor
gave him.

When he had finished his meal the

OUR EXEMPTION BOARDS

One special class of our citizens has done patriotic duty of highest importance. They have not had much publicity nor have they receiv- ed much praise. We understand that they are now to be disbanded in their official capacity, and we feel tha: a word of appreciation is due them, We refer to our exemption boards.
 Their service has been a difficult one. calling for quick discrimination and excellent judgment. Many of the men appointed have carried out the work at the sacrifice of their own private interests. They have had to deal with men of evrey kjnd>-rich and poor, the patriot. the stacker, the conscientious objector.
 Yet. how little criticism of them there has been-how few accusations of unfairness. The overwhelming majority of these men performed their duty with strict honesty great fairness and infinite patience and kindness. Many young men are grateful to the members of their ex- 'emption boards for fatherly interest and kind advice. The influence of the boards has been strongly for good.
 The nation owes a deEt of grati- tude to these real and transformations patriots.
