State Game Warden Joe Prochaska
was visitor in Duncan on Tuesday
on his way to Clifton. While here Mr..
Prochaska advised the News that his
office would be pleased to receive sug-
gestions from anybody regarding
changes in the state game laws. He
is in favor of allowing people from
neighboring states to hunt in Arizona,
providing the other states enact like
laws, which would result in better
feeling and at the same time give out
siders an opportunity to look over the
state. Conditions as he suggested
would mean much to places located
as Duncan is, close to neighboring
state.

BATTLESHIP iowa
USED AS TARGET

Washington, July 30-The once
famous battleship Iowa, which played
no small part in the destruction of
Cevera's fleet at Santiago is being
prepared at the Philadelphia navy
yard for what naval officers say will
be one OF the most unique target ex-
periments ever attempted.
Proceeding unnamed, but under
her own steam and controlled by ra-
dio, probably from seaplanes. the old
sea-fighter will become the objec-
tive of the big guns of the Atlantic
fleet superdreadnaughts in Chesa-
peake Bay late this Summer. This
will be the first time that American
warships have used a moving craft
for a target except in actual war.
Two Of the Iowa's coal burning
boilers are being converted to burn
oil so the ship may. continue under
way with no one aboard once her
fires have been started burning and
her engines placed in motion.
1t is expected that the unique
practice will give the gunpointers of
the Atlantic fleet an opportunity to
test their ability under conditions as
nearly like those to be expected in
battle as can be obtained Smoke
screens will be thrown around the
Iowa during the runs and the course
will be- changed at will through the
radio control system, necessitating a
change IN range on all the firing
ships, exactly as would occur in ac-
ton.
The Iowa has already been strip
ped of some of it's guns and muck
valuable metal and the practice will.
be continued until the old vessel, a
mass of twisted metal, sinks beneath
thes waves to join the rold Texas
which, as the San Marcos, was used
for a stationary target years ago.
The battleship Ohio has been turn
ed over to the Bureau of Steam En-.
gineering for purposes of expert
ment in radio control and a staff OF
expert technical officers has beer
placed on board to arrange the Iowa
practice.

trail temple of Marae at Atehuru,
Tahiti island, where human sacrifices
were offered to the bloodthirstly god
of war, "Oro." So completely were
the. wishes of the missionaries carried
out that nothing remains save traces
of the foundations Of this extensive
temple. Excavations are expected to
bring to light some interesting OBJ
jects, which, it is hoped, will reveal
theSpNrposes and uses of this ancient
STRUCTURE
Marae, while being the chief temple
of Tahiti, was not the oldest the
most important in the islands. The
temple at Opoa, traces of which still
remain on the island of Raiatea, was
thes sacred center of religion in the
eastern Pacific and not until stone
from this has been incorporated in the
structure did the Marae temple on
Tahiti become consecrated.
It was at Marae that Captain Cook
Witnessed the ceremonies of human
sacrifices chronicled in his Voyages. ~
The natives, while protesting CHRIS s.
tianity, and mahifesting it by most
active church attendance. have a deer
fear of these places. Under no cir
cumstances will they approach these
temples at night, nor venture ne.a

way oHend the sleeping gods, ven
