CULTURE HERE BEFORE 1892
Did Americas Pre-CoIumbIan CiViiza.
ton Come From Egypt2 Is
Now Question.

Prof. Elliot Smith developed in an
extraordinarily interesting manner the
thesis that the pre-Coumbian civilian
tions Of America-Or ut least many Inn
portant features In those civilizations
were not truly aboriginal, but came
In n cultural wave from Asia across
the Pacific ocean, the original starting
point of the most remarkable charac-
teristic being Egypt.
Professor Smith believes, says Sci
ence Progress, that the extremely pc
cullar culture of Egypt was spread
eastward by mariners, mainly Phoeni-
cnns, for several centuries after Is. O.
800. TO quote the authors own words,
he thinks that "the essential elements
of the ancient civilizations of India
(the pre-Aryan civillzatlons), further
India, the Malay archipelago, Oceania
and America were brought In success
sion to each of these places by mari
ners, whose oriental migratiOns began
as trading intercourse between the
eastern Mediterranean and India some
time after 800 b. c., and that the
highly complex and artificial culture
which they spread abroad was derived
largely from Egypt (not earlier than
the twenty-frst dynasty, but also In
cluded many important accretlons
from other sources, and that after ira
verslng Asia and Oceania and becom-
Ing modified on the way, the stream
finally Continued for many centuries
to play upon the Pacific llttoral of
America, where It was responsible for
planting the germs Of the remarkable
Columbian civilization"

FILLING HER CLUB NIGHTS
How One Girl Succeeded in Banish-
Ing Loneliness Caused by Civ.
ing Up Old Custom.

Barbara Carson felt bored as she
sat toying with her book under the
light Of the table lamp after dinner.
1t was club night for the girls of her
set, and she pictured them enjoying
the excitement Of the lights and the
music as she had done every week
through the winter.
She had had TO admit, however, that
the tone of the club-night dances had
gradually grown lower as the winter
wore on, and she had made up her
mind to break away from this group Of
young people. She wanted to attach
herself to persons who were more
worth while.
In remaining away tonight she had
taken the first step, but she had not
realized how hard 1t was going to be.
Just then her mother entered the
room and noticed the troubled look in
her eyes.
"What is the matter, dear" she
asked. 'Has something made you I'M
happyT
mo" said Barbara, mot exactly
that, but l didn't realize how deadly
dull 1t was going to be to spend club
night at home"
"Arent you trying to take something
out of your life without putting any
thing else In its placer" asked her
mother. "The Bible speaks about our
overcoming evil with good. You are
trying to overcome 1t with nothing.
You are like the man of whom Christ
spoke who had swept and garnished
his soul-house and then left it empty.
The result was that the old evil spirit
came back and brought seven other
worse devils with him. And, as Christ
tells US, the last state of that man
merely had soul to let. Where he
made his mistake was in not getting in
some good tenants to take the places
of the ones he had turned out. The
Italians have a proverb that says that
the busy man is vexed with only one
devil, the idle one with seven. 1t IL
Illustrates the old saying that, If you
want to keep chaff out of the gran
airy, fill 1t with grain.
1.-THE point of all this is that, If you
are trying to break bad habit, you
had better start a good habit to take
It's place rather than to sit thinking
how wretched you are. l would sug-
gest that you start now. to make an
engagement for every club night dur
ing the rest of the season. Give your
self something interesting to do that
night; something positive to take
your mind in another direction In.

nothing"

you're right. Only the other day Mar

to come over and help me make some

Japanese Arts and Letters.

The Yamato association has been
formed by distinguished japanese cit
liens for the purpose Of making Nip
pOn's achievements In arts and letters
better known to the western world. It's
promoters believe that japanese civil
ization Is not correctly understood by
the vast majority Of Occidental people.
Her naval, military and scientific ad-
vancement Is recognized, but the West
has yet to comprehend the significance
Of her achievements In the humanities.
The Japan Magazine. commenting
upon the new organization, says:
"Many foreigners are disposed to look
upon Japan as merely military ma
ton, whereas her most important side
Is the genius of her unique civilization
and character. If people could get
glimpse Of the soul of Japan they
would have quite different opinion of
her. This can best be had from Jap
anese art and literature, which in many
ways are equal to those of the West.
Even those Credentials who try to ap-
preciate japanese art prefer the least
representative art OF the nation. And
as for Japanese literature, 1t is prac-
tically unknown among western peo-
pie"
The association will publish works
on japanese history, literature and art
and make translatlons into European
languages OF the best works of Japan
csc writer's, ancient and modern; In
addition Its endeavor will be to pro-
mote the Improvement of the national
music and drama.

On a crowded interurban car the
day after Christmas there was a jost-
ling, pushing, complaining bunch in the
aisle. There was just one woman In
the bunch who was not complaining,
and she was good to look at, being
cheerful, pretty and perfectly clothed,
from her russell shoes to the brown hat
that topped her gold-brown hair. Her
lovely brown suit was coming In con-
tact with all sorts of shabby clothing,
out she chuckled, and remarked to the
strange woman next to her: "What
spoiled children we are! Here we are
in warm, comfortable car, fairly fly
ing over the road, and grumbling all
the way. / can remember when trip
to Indianapolis meant, for me, chair
in farm wagon, maybe way back over
the hind wheels, and yet, even in zero
weather, jolting and jouncing over fif-
teen miles of frozen road. never
whimpered. was just glad all through
for the chance to take the wonderful
trip to the CITY,"
A sheepish grin spread over a num-
Der of faces in her vicinity, proving
that others could dig up similar memo
