Los Angeles, Cal, July 23.-A
lawn that is not a lawn, but looks like
lawn-a waterless, mowerless,
weedless, gopherless lawn-in hort, a
cement lawn" painted grass-green,
has made its appearance in front Of
Los Angeles bungalow.
Mrs. A. C. Woodward, inventor

and worry. She never has to water
it; she never has to cut 1t; it is al
ways dry enough to sit on-and 1t

She has circular holes cut through
the lawn and in them and along the
edges she has flowers planted

NOMINATED
PROHIBITIONISTS FOLLOW
LEAD OF OTHER TWO PAR
TIES AND SELECT OHIOAN AS
STANDARD BEARER.
(By Associated Press.)

Lincoln. Neb., July 23.--Ohio con-
tinues the political storm center Of
the nation, the Prohibition party hav-
ing nominated Aaron s. Watkins, of
Germantown, Ohio, for President,
having received word from william
Jennings Bryan that he would not ac-
cept the nomination.
Bryan wired his refusal to his
brother from Bozeman, Mont. It fol-
lows:
"Please deliver the following mes
sage to the chairwoman of the Pro-
hibition national convention, now Ia
session at Lincoln, Having been
away from the railroads and telegraph
facilities for the past twenty-four
hours have not received your tele-
gram notifying me Of the nomination
rendered me by the Prohibition party
convention. But, reading copy Of It
in the Bozennan Chronicle, l hasten to
reply. I profoundly appreciate the
honor done me in rendering this nom
ination and fully share in the con-
vention's s interest in prohibition as the
permanent policy Of our country and
in the strict enforcement of the Vol
stead act without any weakening Of
its provisions. I also share the con
vention's disappointment at the fail
ure Of the Democratic and Republic
an parties to pledge their candidates
to such a policy, but I cannot in Jus
tice to the prohibition party nor to
myself accept the nomination.
My connection with other reforms
would make it impossible for me to
focus my attention upon the prohibi-
tion question alone and besides I am
not willing to sever my connection
with the Democratic party which has
SO signally honored me in years past.
II have not decided yet how shall
vote this fall, hut whatever I may feel
1t my duty to do In this campaign I
expect to continue as member Of the
Democratic party and to serve my
country through it..

PREHISTORIC PEOPLE
BESIDES THE INDIANS
INHABITED TEXAS

Austin, Texas, July 23.-Evidence
that Texas was inhabited by a prehis-
toric people different from the Indian
who roamed the plains when the first
white men came has been unearthed
by James E. Pearce, professor of an
thropology of the University of Texas
The early inhabitants, he said, lived
nomad-like existence, roaming from
one part of the wilderness to another
and killing, with rude stone weapons
animals and even humans for food.
In cooperation with the Smithson-
ian Institute Bureau or Ethnol0gy
Professor Pearce has been investlgat-
ing the mounds for more than year
he reported.
"The life history of these people
mas 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 chalred bits of limestone three or
four fee, high and sometimes as long
as 100 feet. They are made up OF the

peoples who had regular camp sites
at frequent intervals along the Ed
