SAYS BEADS WARD,
OFF ILL LUCK

Constantinople, July 19.-Beads are
more necessary than bread to the Lee
vantine. Men, women and children
wear and carry beads to ward off ill
luck. Even the horses and donkeys
have strands Of beads about their
necks "to BATTLE the evil eye" and the
long horns of the work oxen are deco
rated with blue and white beads to
keep them from falling prey TO dis
eases.
In Athens, Constantinop1e, Tiflis,
Smyrna and other cities of the Levant
men Of all classes carry short strands
of fidget beads which they play with
while walking in the street, riding in
street cars and trains, just as nervous
men in the West finger their watch
chains. Beadshops abound every
where in the larger cities and general
stores and market stall sell them in
the smaller places. Peddlers hawk
them in the streets everywhere.
Light-colored amber beads of large
size are the latest thing in beads for
women. Meerschaum beads are also
popular and for the moment plain
beads OF all sorts have displaced
highly ornate carved beads of the type
which Syrians produce in great guam
titles for expectation.

FIND TRACES OF
ANCIENT PEOPLE
IN TEXAS LANDS

Austin, Texas, July 19-Evfdence
that Texas was inhabited by a pre-
historic people different from the In
dian who roamed the plains when the
first white men came has been un.
earthed by James E. Pearce, profess
DIR of anthropology of the University
OF Texas. The early inhabitants. he
said, lived a noma dixie existence,
roaming from one part of the wilder
ness to another and killing, with rude
stone weapons, animals and feven hui
mans for food.
In cooperation with the Smith .
MAN Institute Bureau of Ethnoloay.
Professor Pearce has been investigat-
ing the mounds for more than a. year,
he reported.
The life history of these people has
been read from the records they left
in their burned-rock mounds or kit
chen 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 100 feet. They are made UP Of the
kitchen refuse of these prehistoric
peoples who had regular camp sites at
frequent 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 neolithic culture, to which most Of
the American Indians belonged. These
early Texas inhabitants had arrows
and spears tipped with flint points,
chipped but not polished. They did
not polish their stone weapons, nor
did they engage in any form of az
riculture. They were, however, skill
full skin dressers for we have found
skin scraping tools made of flint.
THE kitchen middens which we dis
covered are the only thing of their
kind in America, so far as I know,
although they have been found in
other parts Of the world. At these
sites, camps were located with great
fire place in the center over which
huge slabs of limestone were placed
as sort of primitive stove upon
which to cook the meat the inhab-
itants killed.
I'VE know these people were can
ntbals, for among the refuse heaps
have been found human bones split
apart in order to get at the marrow.
THE soft limestone slabs, being ex-
posed to the weather, broke from time
to, time and were cast aside nearby, to
be replaced by new ones:"ro M.
When the present investigation on
the Edwards Plateau has been con-
cluded work will be started upon the
funeral mounds in East Texas,
which are the work Of an entirely diff
ferent race of people, according to
Professor Pearce. These people, he
said, lived in a later period. Their
pottery and polished weapons have
been found in the mounds.

GERMANS DISLIKE
AMERICAN MADE
ADDING MACHINES

Berlin, July 19-German manufac-
turers of adding machines are ap-
pealing to the government for assist
ance in their fight to prevent the i'm
portation of American made machines
which they claim now are superflu-
Gus, as the German industry is cap
able of supplying the home demand.
Action has been precipitated by the
application of a we'll known Ameri-
can firm through its Berlin branch
for permission to import 100 add
ing machines to meet the German
demand until the American firm has
completed it's local branch factory.
The German manufacturers have
addressed a joint appeal to the min
istry of economics demanding fur
ther Enforcement of the existing i'm
port embargo and requesting that
wholesale importation should be pro.
hfbited.
The Vorwaerts declares that, while
the German working man does not de-
sire to be placed under the DONNA
ton of American capital, the present
action by the German makers is I'M
dignified and not in keeping with the
German efficiency which has always
been able to assert itself in the com
petitive markets even when pitted
against American enterprise.

OFFICE SEEKERS
CAUSE OF HOTEL
CL0SINCS IN N. Y.

New York, July 19.-The bidding
power of office seekers and not pro-
hibition has caused many hotels in
the general vicinity of And street to
close recently, according to opinions
of real estate men expressed today.
Within a relatively short time of
one another such old and famous hos
telries as the Holland House. Sherry's
and the Fifth Avenue hotel have
closed their doors and more recently
the Knickerbocker-a relatively new
ana imposing observation-disclosures
business.
prohibition has done this" cried
many "wets,'' but now one well known
hotel woman advanced the theory
that the steady march of business to-
ward the newer uptown sections was
q paramount consideration of the men
who decided to close their hostelries.
"A hotel doesn't have to run behind.
to close" she declared. IF the owner
of the property considers it better
business policy to erect an Office
building on the ground, he isn't likely
t., let sentiment sway him. Prohibi-
ton? No! Let's say business"
Real estate men admitted, however.
there was no general formula to ac-
count for the disappearance of the old
hotels, some of them the possessors
of International regulations.
Some people who are closely in
touch with the hotel business ascribe
the closing of some of the older houses
to the fact that the principles of hotel
construction have undergone radical
changes in the last decade. Hotels,
they say, are being built with several
times as many rooms as formerly, eff
fecting a concentration about one con-
trolling headquarters and reducing the
overhead expense" incident to up
keep of individual rooms and apart
ments.
Something more than a sentimental
loss is entailed in the passing of the
old hotels, another manager points
out.
with the closing of the Holland
House, Sherry's, the knickerbocker
and the Manhattan" he said, there
has been a decrease of about 1900
rooms available in the center of the
city. Recent structures have supplied
about 1900 rooms, leaving net gain
4. Of about 1000 rooms in five years.
This gain is not adequate to accomo-
date the Increased demand. 1 doubt
II even the new hotels now planned
will be sufficient to supply the de-
rnanJs of the greater number of ap-
plicants."
That this fact is appreciated by ho-
:. tel interests is proved by the extern
sive preparations being made to fill
the needs. Plans are under way for
the construction of several new no
tells in the uptown district.
One large hotel is to add 1000 rooms
and another will be reconstructed as
to contain at least 5000 rooms. In
addition. besides construction of small
Ter houses, 1t is said that a Californ-
ia syndicate is casting about for sites
for several nammoth hotels in the
city.

The Wisconsin Teachers association
has obtained from the United States
commissioner of education figures
which demonstrate that the shortage of
school teachers has reached proper
tions that constitute a national peril
There are 1929 schools closed be
cause of lack of teachers, and 4l,9OO
schools taught by teachers character
lied as "below standard, but taken on
temporarily in the emergency" Some
of the largest shortages by states are
as follows:
Kentucky, $3.50; Texas, 2,055; Vir-
GINA, 1000; Georgia, 1900; North
Carolina, roo; Iowa, 600. The number
of teachers below the standard are:
Texas, 1000; Virginia, $500; Tennes-
see, 5000; Minnesota, 1880; Illinois,
200; Kentucky, LOO; New York, l.
100; South Carolina, 1000.
How a community is affected by this
situation is pictured by the experience
of Baltimore. The international Kin
dergarten Union held its meeting in
Baltimore last spring. The interest
awakened by this event developed a
movement for more kindergartens.
This board of education responded by
voting for the establishment of ten new
kindergartens this year
But it was soon found that the teach
ers could not be obtained. This was
an eye-opener for the metropolis of
Maryland Finally, after a long search,
one kindergarten-traine teacher was
found and one of the ten projected
kindergartens has been opened.

EDUCATIONAL.

On every hand we hear people talk
ing about Americanization-p
for Americanization, talks on Ameri-
canization, movements for Americana
cation. These are all good. But do
we forget that we have one great
agency for Americanization already in
existence-the public schools7 The
hope for Americanization is largely in
the children. The children spend the
greater part of their waking hours in
the school room. 1t is in the class room
that American citizens are made.
What does this mean? 1t means that
we must have the kind of teachers in
our school rooms who are prepared by
training, experience and native endow-
ment to make good American citizens.
DR.. +. f. Winship, editor of the Jour
nal of Education, Boston, says;
at is the teacher who can adjust all
American children to all other Ameri-
can children. Teachers literally have
the fortunes of the United States for
90 years at least, in their keeping"
How is Wisconsin meeting its re-
sponsibility to provide good teachers
for our future citizens? In 1919 Wis
consin spent less per pupil on educa-
ton than Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois,
and Iowa, less than any of the north
ern states but two.
Wisconsin is waking up. Nearly 40
cities have adopted new schedules for
next year showing advances of 20-60
per cent.
What about the country schools?
What about the university? And the
other training schools from which our
teacher supply comes, the normal
schools? This is no time to drift, to
say; "The situation will adjust itself"
While we wait, good teachers are leav-
ing the schools, institutions are run
ming down and our chief agency for
Americanization the school, is being
undermined.

filiated with the state and national fed
erations should join now. The dues
for both are only ten cents per capita
annually Application should be made
to the state president.

members are 81 annually. The chair
man of this department is Mrs. Will
liam SproesSer, Watertown, Wis.
Mrs. c, NJ. Gleason of this city is

YOUR LIBERTY BOND

The United States Government Dor
rowed money from you to finance the
war You hold the governments prom
Use to pay you back. This promise is
called a Liberty Bond or Victory Note
On this bona is slated the conditions
under which the government borrowed
the money from you.
For instance: If you hold bond of
the Third Liberty Loan, it states that
on April 18th and October 18th of
each year until maturity, you will re-
ceive interest on the amount you paid
for the bond. Other issues bear other
rates of interest and other maturity
dates, all of which are clearly stated
on the bond.
Now, if you keep your bond until
the date when the government pays
you in full for it, you do not need to
worry if, in the meantime, the price is
low one day or high the next You and
Uncle Sam are living up to your agree
ment with each other, and neither will
lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give you
dollar for every dollar you paid for
it. The price has been brought down
because so many people are offering to
sell their bonds. If the market is food
ed with tomatoes, you can buy them
cheap, but if everyone is clamoring for
tomatoes and there are few to be had,
the price goes up. The same is true of
Liberty bonds. Short-sighted people
are dumping them on the market, and
wise ones are buying them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of Liberty Bond is this:
Hold the bond you bought during the
war; it is as safe and sound as the
United States government itself
Buy as many more at the present
low rate as you can afford. If you hold
them to maturity, you are bound to
make the difference between what they
sell at now and their face value. You
will also receive good interest on your
investment. Hold on to your Liberty
Bonds and buy more.
