VERY INFORMAL.

Senator Harding let the information
ooze out on Saturday that a spokesman
OF France had been informally" consult
ing him about the new assoclatlon of ma
tions which he intends TO form.
1T must have been, indeed, highly
informal consultation. The French govern
ment does not officially confer with pri-
vate persons in regard to the foreign
policy Of the United States And any
private person who should attempt to
negotiate directly with the French govern
ment concerning that policy would be
liable TO prosecution under the laws OF

OF a Republican candidate for court
house Office in Sussex county IT IS charged
that while, holding another county office,
several years ago, he gave it very little
attention. That is not unusual. Through
Republican favoritism in legislation, all
the important county Offices have been
provided with such ample assistance that
the chiefs have an easy time. The story
is told Of one occupant Of a county Office

Dried Products Used in
Demonstrations.

To stimulate interest III and to ad-
vocate the wider practice of the dry
ing of products, Miss Norma OVERLY,
state home demonstration agent, Ex-
tension Division, Louisiana State Uni
versity. has sent 12O cases Of dried
carrots. spinach, string beans, and
apples to the thirty parish demon
ztration agents. These products were
dried in California and Florida and
were sent to Miss OVERLY by the
Washington authorities for distribu~
ton. The agents will use these pro-
duets in their public demonstrations
in their parishes. They will prepare
attractive dishes from them and in
this way call attention to the fact
that both the flavor and quality Of a
product are maintained in this pro-
cess of preserving foods. They will
also emphasize the fact that more at
tention should be directed in this
process because in the drying of pro-
ducts less container space is required.

Handicapped by Shortage Of Cara.

Shipments of lumber from the
southern pine millsss about half OF
what it would be if there were plenty
Of cars. During July 76 mills, which
are members of the Southern Pine
Association, required 15,303 cars to
ship the orders for lumber which they
had on hand. The railroads were
able to furnish these mills but 5784
cars. or about 81 per cent Of their
requirements. The Southern Pine
Association reports that not all OF
the mills are suffering to that ex-
tent, the average shortage of cars
for lumber loading being about As
per cent.
Such serious complaint has been
registered by the Southern Pine As
sociation that the Car servic Btu
reau Of the American RailroadA AS
ISOLATION has assigned an inspe%o
to investigate conditions in the sotVl-
ern lumber producing sections, with
authority to grant such relief as may
be necessary where serious loss is

CANNIBALS PEOPLED TEXAS,
Discovery Made That Prehistoric Pea
pie Were Different from Indians.

Austin, Tex-Evtdence that Texas
different from the Indian who roamed
the plains when the first white man
came has been unearthed by James
e. Pearce, professor of anthropology
Of the University Of Texas. The early
inhabitants, he said, lived nomad-
like existence, roaming from one part
Of the wilderness to another and kill
ing, with rude stone weapons. animals
and even humans for food. ~
In cooperation with the Smith
sonian Institution bureau OF chronology.
Prof. Pearce has been Investigating
the mounds for more than year, he
reported.
'sTl1e life history Of these people
has been read from the records they
left in their burned-rock mounds or
kitchen middens," the professor said,
''These mounds are piles Of broken
and charred bits OF limestone three or
four feet high and sometimes as long
as 10n feet
'They are made up of the kitchen
refuse OF these prehistoric peoples,
who had regular camp sites at fra-
quent intervals along the Edwards
plateau, extending from Austin west
ward to New Mexico.
'These people evidently were ad~
vanced to the stage of paleolithic cul-
ture. an earlier age than the period
Of heolithic culture, to which most OF
the American Indians belonged. These
early Texas inhabitants had arrows
and spears tipped with-asnt points,
clipped but not polished. They did
not polish their Stone weapons, nor
did they engage in any form of agri-
culture. They were, however, skill
full skin dressers, for we have found
seraping tools made Of flint.
The kitchen mtddens which we dis
covered are the only thing of their
kind In America, SO far as I knoW,
although they had been found in other
parts Of the world At these sites,
camps were located with great fire.
place In the center, over which huge
EiHUS Uf limestone were Dldcetl as Il
sort Of primitive stove, upon which
to cook the meat the Inhabitants
killed.
''We know these people were canni-
bals, for among the refuse heaps have
been found human bones split apart
In order to get at the marrow.
1.-THE soft limestone slabs, being ex
posed to the weather. broke from tlrae
to time, and were cast aside nearby.
TO be replaced by new ones.
'In the course Of our Investigations
we have completely examined soma
fifteen OF these mounds and In them
have found thousands Of splendid spe~
c1mens Of chipped arrow and spear
heads, as well as scraping tools and
other Implements. Bones Of the deer,
which were prevalent In this region
are found In Drofusion, indicating that
this was the principal article Of diet. -

labor, Secretary Baker announced that
steps had been taken TO reduce to q

The matter was brought officially to

Army 10 Enlist IiIiterates.

Washington.-On and after July 20
tlliterates and non-English speaking
citizens and aliens who declare their
intention to become citizens will be
permitted to enlist In the United
States army for terms Of three years.
Instructions to this effect were issued
by Secretary of War Baker.
These llliterates and non-Engltsh
speaking recruits will be distributed
to recruit educational eenters, and In
any case where enlistment Is for spe-
cial assignment, the recruit as soon
as enlisted will be sent to that recruit
educational center nearest to the or
ganization for which he enlisted.
Transfers will be made promptly
upon the completion Of the course at
the educational center.
To carry out this policy recruit edu-
cational centers win be organized at
Camps Jackson, PIKE, Grant, Travis
and Lewis, mede1ed after that at
Camp Upton, New York.
