In letter received from cousin
Of mine. who is a lieutenant in the
aviation service, he tells of the follow
ing incident that happened to cadet
flyer at Kelly field: The cadet was
making his first solo flight and had
been flying around the towers where
the instructors sit and observe the
movements Of the solo flyers, when he
was seen throwing something out Of
his plane. He had thrown his shoe out
with note tied to 1t saying that his
'gun" or gas throttle was damned,
and he didn't know what to do. He

fore he realized that he had mag
neto switch or his plane that would
shut of the Ignition and thus stop the
engine. He finally landed with a
dandy "thump."-Chicago Tribune.

1t was young Mrs. Robinson's first
Christmas party. and she was suffering
all the usual terrors Of the inexpe-
rienced hostess. However, the cook
rose to the occasion splendldly, and, so
far as the dinner itself was concerned,
Mrs. Robinson was weighted.
The only fly in the ointment was
Jane, the new parlormald; she was
slow, clumsy, and her waiting was bad.
But. in addition to these faults, she In
sisted on keeping her mouth wide open.
This so got on Mrs. Robinson's
nerves that at last she exclaimed:
"Jane, your mouth is wide open!"
Jane withdrew her gaze from the
ceiling, and said, looking down with
a CHEEKY smile:

FOUND OLD INDIAN VILLAGE


Relics Of an Indian village. said to
have its origin as early as 1875. have
been discovered in Clason Point, the
Bronx, according to an announcement
made By the Museum Of the American
Indian, Heye foundation. The dlscoy-
cry was made by Alan \. Skinner. ar
cheoiogist Of the foundation. The dis
coyery Is regarded as very impor-
tant one by the members Of the foun-
dalton. Research establishes that the
village was probably inhabited by ma
tives Of the Slwanoy tribe, known to
very early settlers as "Snakeskins."
The research. made through the
Kindness Of a trustee Of the founda-
ton, has established to the satisfac-
ton Of the board that the tract re-
NAMED In possession Of its Indian In
habltnnts until 1925. when It was pur-
chased by Robert Cornell. an English
man. Cornells family was later mas
sacred by the barbarian tribe. During
the attack he managed to make his
escape on Dutch ship.
Mr.. Skinner was making a pleasure
trip through Clason Point. which is
somewhat Of summer resort, last
July. He noticed very large oyster
shells on a mound Of sand and recog-
nized them as Indian boundary line
markings. He obtained permission
from the owner of the land to make
search of the ground. To the sur
prise Of the searchers, relics Of Indian
life were unearthed. Costumes, beads,
cooking utensils and a complete hair
dress of the SiwanOy tribe were dis
covered. Seventy lodge sites, contain
ing hundreds Of Indian implements
and tools, were also dug up.
The collection contained crude har-
poems, fishhooks, carved tortolse-shen
cups. bodkins and decorated pottery.
Hundreds of pipes and beautiful
mold Jar were discovered intact, and
all are being preserved for public ex-
hibition when the museum opens. This
history speaks of the Siwanoy practice
Of digging sand holes and placing
large quantities of food and other Of
ferings to the Great Snake" 1t was
announced at the museum that the
relies will be placed on exhibition at
the opening Of the exhibit.

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done for Humanity
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

It has always seemed to me that Dr..
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when a list of Americas
great benefactors is written. BE studied
and conquered human diseases to a de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
remedy that overcame disease, be at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at a small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
OF keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name Of
each root and herb he used. And SO today
the names Of DR.. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter health and better citizenship.
One Of this great physicians most sue
eessful remedies is known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar
coated pills. composed of Mayapple, leaves
OF aloe root Of jalap-things that Nature
grows in the ground. These Pellets are
safe because they move the bowels gently,
leaving no bad after-efeets, as SO many
pills do. Very often they make person
who takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines Of
hard decayed and poisonous matter that
hccumulates when one is costive. If you
are eonstipated, by all means 60 to your
druggist and get some Of DR.. Pieree's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to be
ihe very thing your system requires to
make you well and happy.
