WILL EXPLORE
 TEMPLE RUINS
 FOR OLD RELICS

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Aug. g (by Asso- ciated Press) The ancient lore of Tahiti is to be resurrected and the ruins of the temples of the South Pacific Islanders, ordered destroyed a century ago by Christian mission aries, are to be uncovered by excava- tion. Efforts to gather the relics of a forgotten worship are being vigor- ously prosecuted here.
 Interest centers upon the great cen tral temple of Marae at Atehuru, on Tahiti island, where human sacrifi- ces were offered to the bloodthirsty god of war, "Oro" So completely were the wishes of the missionaries car red out that nothing remains save traces of the foundations of this ex- tensive temple Excavations are ex- pected to bring to light some inter- esting objects, which, it is hoped, will reveal the purposes and uses of this ancient structure.
 Marae, while being the chief temple of Tahiti, was not the oldest or the most important in the islands. The temple at Opoa, traces of which still remain on the island of Raitea, was the 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 F'voy- ages"
 The natives, while protesting Christianity, and manifesting it by most active church attendance, have deep fear of these places. Under no circumstances will they approach these temples at night, nor venture near them by day without great tre- pidation, believing that should they in any way offend the sleeping gods, vengeance will come.

PRESS CONGRESS AGAIN
 POSTPONES MEETING

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. g (by As sociated ss).-After several pre- vious postponement, the Press Con- gress of the World, which is to be held here, has once more been postponed. Instead of taking place next October it will be held next Easter.
 The change was due to the recent change of government in this state (New South Wales). Originally it was a Nationalist government, under Premier w. A. Holman, which invited the press of the world to this city. Now a Labor government is, however, carrying out the arrangements made by the preceding government and MT. Storey has placed over the congress the minister of education, MT. Mutch. Incidentally, it is blieved that the post ponement will increase attendance from the United States, because the congress will not coincide in time with the height of the American presiden- tial campaign. Incidentally, also, it is hoped that by next Easter steamer fares all over the world will have been somewhat reduced.

SKYSCRAPERS
 DO NOT BRING
 GREAT PROFIT

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. g (by Associ- ated Press).-Low buildings erected on expansive lots are more profitable ban skyscrapers towering into the air is the opinion of various members of the National Association of Building Owners an Managers, expressed at their annual convention here This is contradictory to the generally accept ed theory of realty men.
 Reading a paper at one of the ses- sions on Analysis of the Comparative Investment Value of Office Buildings of Various Heights" Edwin s. Jewell of Omaha, an advocate of the low building theory, said that since land values are enhanced by the increase in population in section and not by phe size of buildings on it, structures under 10 stories in height were more profitable in that a saving would be made on the tremendous cost of found ation and enormous elevator equip ment.
 'If a builder erects six to eight story building in a part of the city that is the business section,' MT. Jewell said, land if that business section } shifts in a decade or two, the structure can readily be used for a factory, warehouse, or other purposes. It is still a marketable building. The same is not true of the skyscraper.
 When builders begin to erect low buildings in our cities, the tremendous amount of money now being used for building foundations and sub-base- ments can be put into other buildings. The money put into elevators, heavy framework and other incidentals nec- essary to the erection of a skyscraper would pay for a good, practical office building four to six stories high cover ing the same piece of ground"
 MT. Jewell, who is chairman of the operating experience committee of the building owners and managers asso- citation, also asserted that the low of flee building plan would spread the business districts of cities over a wider area and raise land values, en- abling cities to raise more revenue for schools and other public improve ments.
 "The low building plan," he said, <'would prevent congestion, promote sa5ety and good health and by forcing the spreading of the business district over a wider area, provide more stores, which would result in greater competition and lower prices to the buying public.'
 A low building, MT. Jewell asserted, can be built for 14 cents per cubic foot cheaper than a tall building of the same quality because cement can be used instead of steel.
 MT. Jewell asserted he had made a study of revenues from large num- Der of office buildings in more than 50 cities, adding that the receipts and expenditures from 143 buildings in 1919 showed an average income of ~about $1.41 per square foot, whereas it would require s2.64 per square foot to make an investment realize s per cent.
