New York tonight. In the big hotels

and a jest.
The exuberance Of the private
stockless citizens was, however, de-
cidedly restrained. The customary

years gone by, the crowds on the
street as the witching hour appeared
were both meager and apathetic.
The brilliantly lit and gorgeously
decorated dining rooms Of New
York's famous hostelries offered
scenes in striking contrast to the
listless crowds on the Streets outside.

Hawaii Led In Prohibition.

Historians OF the Hawaiian islands
assert that an Hawaiian monarchy
was the first government in the world
to put absolute prohibition into effect.
Kamehameha the Great, first king of
United Hawaii. in 1795. after having
conquered all the other islands. issued
AN edict imposing prohibition. Its pen
alties were drastic. An offender was
stripped OF his property. real and per-
sonal, and was driven from his village
clad only in n loin cloth.
In later years foreign nations forced
liquor on the Hawaiians and its sale
was general in the islands until the
great war, when, with the opening OF
the army training camps on the Is
lands, prohibition went into effect.

WILL SIFT ANCIENT MOUNDS
AreheologIsts Plan Most Thorough
Examination Of Structures At
Camp Sherman, In Ohio.

Excavations OF seven prehistoric
mounds at Camp Sherman will be
started by DIR. william O. Mills. cura-
tor Of the Ohio State Archaeological
and Historical society. The farm on
which the mounds are situated was
one OF those condemned and purchased
by the government for Camp Sherman.
The only examination ever made Of
the mounds was by Squier and Davis
In 1916. Relics they uncovered were
purchased by the Blackmore museum.
Salisbury, England, for $4,000.
Squier and Davis were responsible
for the conclusion that the mounds
were built by a distinct race, known as
Mound Builders" This theory is Wig
orously contested by Doctor Mills and
other noted Psychologists. They say
there is conclusive evidence that the
mounds were built by American In
dlnns OF the Algonquin family. Squier
and Davis. in their examination OF
the mounds. merely tunneled several
OF the mounds. Doctor Mills will COM
pletely tear them down sitting a great
part of the dirt through screens. There
are % mounds IN the group. Some al
ready have been eXcavated by Doctor
Mills. One was found to contain 1873
skeletons and 1900 specimens OF flint,
