LONG PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS
Strange Work Left by Mound Builders
Never Has Had Anything Like
Satisfactory Explanation.

The Serpent Effigy mound, near
Chillicothe, Ohio, the strangest earth
work left by the Mound Builders, is
one of the most striking and puzzling
creations that is to be found in the
Scioto River valley. Over all, the
mound is more than 1900 feet long,
and depicts serpent of several con-
volutions, jaws extended, and an oval
within the grasp of the huge jaws The
groundwork is from two to four feet
in height, and from three or four to
~ feet in thickness. Within the oval,
beyond the extended jaws, archeolo-
gists have found an altar of stones and
copper ornaments.
An old Indian fighter who died in
the West several years ago, nearly
100 years old, declared he had heard
a story in his younger days of tribe

Happy on His Way.

In one of the Indianapolis schools
recently the teacher announced to her
pupils that they would study China
during the afternoon, and told the
children to bring various products of
the country. Very excitedly little
chap rushed into the grocery store and
told the grocer to give him a nickel's
worth of sassafras, as he was to study
China at school, and the grocer told
him she must have said Indiana, but
he gave him Gunpowder and Imperial
mixed, instead of the good old Hoosier
product, and sent him happily on his
way.

JOKE ON BOTH "CHAPPTES'
Some Particulars About Their EngIisF
Ralment With Which They Were
Not Acquainted.

1t isn't exactly their swell brand Of
golf that entities them to be so de-
cidediy English in their apparel, but
they've 'fawncy" for the English
raiment just the same.
"How do you like my English cap,
old chap?" one of them asked
"It's turtle, old dear, but 1t isn't
quite so English as mine," the other
said.
"Oh, mine is, quite"
"No, not nearly"
And so they compared caps. But
when they looked at the names of the
makers 1t was discovered by the de
cidedly English" follower that his cap
had been made in New York. The
other bore London lakeland, Of
course, you understand, old chap, it
was quite "lawf."
And the funny feature of 1t all is
that the New York cap was made to
appeal to the English trade, while the
London cap was designed to catch the
fancy of the Yank

PICTURESQUE IN ITS INERTIA
Town Of caJamarca, In Andes Noun
tains, Inhabited by People Seem
inQly Without Ambition.

The town Of Cajamarca, nestled
among the Andes mountains is, per
haps, the most unambitious community
in the world, according to Harry A
Franck. who writes In the Wide World
Magazine.
Cajamarca is very old, he says. The
Spaniards found 1t when they con.
quered the country centuries ago, but
nothing of the old Inca civilization re,
mains, and the oldest buildings are the
churches that the conquerors erected
Today. says Mr.. Franck, the churches
stand architecturally Incomplete, not
because time has demolished them but
because, according to local tradition,
a finished structure In colonial days
had to pay tribute to the government,
and so the builders economical by
stopping work before the churches
were finished.

is distinguished by wearing collars and

stand the meaning of the story until
later In life when he heard Of the

the story, had 1t been given to stu

to give them new theories on which

shoes ana performing no manual labor,
where the CLOVER class is ragged and
poverty-stricken, and where life goes
on from year to year In state of liner
tia which nobody seems to find unde-
sirable. The unfinished churches give
the old town picturesque aspect, be-
ing built of stone and colored by the
passage Of time until they remind a
traveller of the ancient Spanish edi-
fees of Salamanca; nor is there any
present likelihood that the town will
grow rich enough to spoil their pic
turesque incompleteness by finishing
them.

visitor from the outside world, has

A BUSINESS MAN FOR PRESIDENT

One Of the remarkable features of the pre-
venton period and elimination in Chicago last week
was the boom of Herbert Hoover for the Republican
nomination for the presidency with its complete and
utter collapse at the Republican National Convention.
The most votes he received on any ballot num-
bered but seven which after one two ballots fell
to five and one half.
Yet through months the people we're informed
by so-called independent magazines and newspapers
that ''the people demanded Hoover and "the popular
demand" was for "a business man for president" 1t
is recalled that not long ago the Saturday Evening
Post which boasts circulation of two million copies
produced cartoon representing scene in a menag-
erie There was the traditional Republican elephant
and the metaphorical Democratic jackass each with
its "barker gesticulating and urging the people to
come to that particular attraction while the people"
were all crowding around giraffe labeled Hoover"
and :" a business man for president"
In many states there were free and open prim-
aries where the people given opportunity to ex~
press their preference and bind delegates to Mr..
Hoovers aspirations. Yet only seven delegates out
from almost one thousand cast votes for him in the
National Republican Convention.
There are two conclusions: "'rhe people" are not
so anxious for ga business for president and
independent newspapers have no Influence

CASH BOX AND POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE

The Evening Bellyache" returns to the charge
about the alleged unfairness of Mayor Harrison in
throwing his casting vote on tied issues in the City
Council in favor Of that side of each issue that is taken
by those who elected the same ticket with him
and makes a great to do about onpartlslanshlp"
in local matters
The observation of "The Oasis" through a quar-
ter Of century in dealing with Nogales business
men and politicians is that these alleged non-partis
ians" upon whom political ties set very lightly are
keen enough for party when they want anything
POLITICAL but after they have got what they want
and it is their turn to assist those who helped the
whv the man whose turn it is to do service is not
interested"
Then again we have noticed that when they are
doing politics men of that stamp do strange things
Even when they are filling important places In the
party organization. For instance The OASIS can
recall that in 1900, when Mr.. E. Titcomb was CHAIR
man of the Republican County Central COMMITTEE,
charged with the election of the entire ticket that
gentleman deliberately and openly supported Emer-
son Gee. Democratic nominee for supervisor, ana
told protesting candidate for supervisor on the he
publican ticket that the latter could make the most
of it. There were those who were so unklnd as 10
assert that Mr. Titcombs independence" IN the mat
ter arose from the fact that Mr. Emerson Gee was
s,lperinter dent for mining company which mace
large purchases from the house of Roy Iltcomb,
while rona of the Republican traded to any
c. Dunont, who was running lumber yard at Pata-
gonia. was competitor in small way of that one
line of the Roy & Titcomb business
Tho Oasis" can cite other instances where mo-
ives for alleged political independence" could be
traced right into the strong box of business houses
Moreover there be cited instances where the at
ttude of local political matters has been car
ried right into business to their derment and in
Jury A number of men have been SCI up in business
and financed as reprisal upon those who could not
be controlled by those who did the financing.
When it comes to political affiliations and &C.
ton The Oasis" prefers by Var to stand with those
who base their attitude and action upon support of

RATHER LOOSE THINKING

recent remarkable piece of statuary which is
seen copied great deal in popular publications is en-
titled "The Thinker" The original was one of the en-
bellishments of the Panama Pacific Exposition in
1915. The figure is of a man. seated the hips and
lower limbs draned with sheet nude from the waist
up the chin resting upon closed fist, the pose of
the head and ineanlents suggesting intense thought
But to the scoffer in art matters the instantaneous
reflection is that if he had thought to any purpose
the first thing "The Thinker" would have thought
would have been to get some duds
The public should be left out OF the issue dealing
with the railroad question, we are told. 1t is 1t
is left out of every issue dealing with everything
That's why it is kicking.

success. There is too much danger of drinking the
