Is kept with the records of the court

English Financler Fixes Real
Losses Of the European
BelIigerents.
AMERICA WORLDS CREDITOR

the War Bring Prosperity, According
to English Authority--oermany

London.-The actual cost Of the
war to European belligerents was In
excess of 100000, 100000 ($1O0OOO,-
100000 normal value), represented by
property destroyed, losses in invest
lnents abroad, depreciation of proper
ties and by pensions, Edgar Cram
mond, English fnancler, told the
Bankers institute at a recent meeting
here.
He fixed the following as the real
losses of the European belligerents:

To only two belligerent countries
the United States and Japan-did the
war bring prosperity, Crammond said,
but Spain, Holland. Switzerland,
Greece and Scandinavia also had
grown wealthier. He believed the "ltq-
uid capital of the world, now dis
tributed in centers which are unaccus-
toned TO the exercise of their new
powers" would eventually again find

Assuming that the postwar pur-

Discovery Made That Prehistoric
People Were Different
From indians.

Life History Read From Records They
Left In Their 6urned-Rock Mounds
Advanced to Stage Of Pale
oIlthlc Culture.

Austin, Tex.-Evidence that Texas
was inhabited by prehistoric people
different from the Indian who roamed
the plains when the first white man
came has been unearthed by James
u. Pearce, professor of anthropology
Of the University Of Texas. The early
inhabitants, he said, lived a 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 entomology.
Prof. Pearce has been investigating
the mounds for more than a year. he
reported.
1.-THE 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 100 feet.

among the best in their line and gave
the audiences some very fine music.

A SUCCESS, (

The Washburn Chautauqua for 1920,

has ever had Not only fran an enter

standpoint as well. 5.sIl s.%j. .slf ,s,E
The varied program which the Red

Not a single one was disappointing and
in truth some of the numbers were Of
such talent that the people Of Wash
burn should feel that they were for
;tunate in being able to hear. them.
No small credit should be given to
the ticket committee in making the
chautauqua a financial success. The
three men, Geo Yackey, Frank Thonlp-
son and John Bebilheimer, were re-
sponsiable for the sale Of the season
tickets and the manner in which
these three men handled this import
ant end is a credit to the town. They
with their subworkers had sold the
required $500 worth OF season tickets
before the first day Of the chautauqua,
which released the signers of the con-
tract from giving any financial aid.
And as the committee received 10 per
cent. Of the single admissions there
is small sum to go on for next year.
Washburn is to have chautauQua
again next year; the business men
saw to this before this one was over.
By the middle of the week there were
between 30 and 40 signers on the con-
tract to guarantee the productions.

motive power. Mr.. Sidell was for
merly superintendent Of the Rock

Superintendent Sidells resigna-

that he had refused to provide san;

ticularly in the matter of a pure

over the development Of typhoid
epidemic in the shops.
