DISPUTE OVER USE or CAVES
Scientists Disagree az to Whether
They Were Habltations or Tombs
Of Primitive Race.

Curious caves In the Matsuyalna
hills. in the province Of Saitama, near
Tokyo, Japan, are believed by some
to have been the homes Of an ancient
race called the Tuschiguma, or Earth
Spiders, who lived long before the
ancient Amos. Others think them to
be tombs, while many are convinced
that they are merely shelters used
by the primitive tribe when pursued
by enemies.
The caves are all on the southern
slope Of the hills, and command an
extended view Of a fertile valley. This
strategic position argues for those
who believe the caves to have been
habitations and not tombs. About 200
Of them have been unearthed. Seen
from distance they resemble huge
swallow bank. They are so close to-
gether that the inner walls almost
touch, and are entered through a mar
row, long, low passageway-so low in
fact that q man cannot stand upright
IN the largest one. Each room is about
six by nine feet In size; the ceiling
is domed, and along the side is 6
ledge raised about nine inches from
the ground. This was doubtless Gov

No tools, weapons or household ar
ticles have been unearthed and ther

caves are practically unknown and Ut
visited, except by & few scholars.

Americas Meat-Eaters.

Take it the world over and the an
nual consumption of meat amounts to
80 pounds per capita. Here In these
United States, however, the figure rises
to $50 pounds a head, declares the
Los Angeles Times. The American
is the worlds champion meat eater.
The average citizen Of the United
States will every year eat more than
his weight in red beef. The English
man is supposed to be terror in
the meat line, but he only takes On
an average Of 120 pounds year. OF
course, the vegetarian viii insist that
the Americans are the lowest type OF
civilization and are a feeble, pulse
less people tottering to the grave. But
If they can do what they have done
under the incubus of $50 pounds Of
beef every year, what could they not
accomplish II they would only leave
meat alone7 The people who have
banished booze from the Land shOald
now arise in their might and absoive

GIANT TREES OF AUSTRALIA
Exceed In Height, Though Not h Or.
eumfsrsncs, the Famous Grand
ConlfOrs Of California.

In the book, "Under the Southern
Cross" written by Maturin NJ. Ballou,
an American traveller, In the 'sOs Of
the last century, we read Of his esti-
mate Of the great trees Of Australia,
according to the Christian Science
Monitor.
1T is in this colony Of Australia that
the traveller finds the giant trees, con-
sidered to be one Of the great Won
ders Of our times, and which exceed
in Dimensions those grand conifers of
California in which Americans feel
such pride. These big trees Of Victoria
are called the mountain ash, though
why so named we do not understand,
as they are not Of that family. But
they are certainly the tallest trees in
the known world, often measuring 400
feet and more In height, and from
fifty to sixty feet in girth couple of
yards from the ground. When we say
that these trees exceed in dimensions
those of California we refer especial
ly to their height inasmuch as the
American trees equal them, If they
do not in some instances surpass them
in circumference. The Australian
trees rise a hundred feet more or less
| from the roots without putting forth
lateral branch. On beholding them
one is not at first impressed by their
exceptional size or monarchlike ap-
| pearance, but they grow upon one by
further observation. a trip Of hun
dred miles from Melbourne due east to
Sale-a remarkably pleasant town, Of
| between 5000 and 1000 inhabitants,
situated on the Gippsland railroad
takes one to the region where these
immense forest giants are to be seen,
| and at the same time introduces the
traveller to some of the finest scenery
| In the mountain range Of this district"

Beaver Colony for Profit

Probably the largest fur farm N
the West is a beaver ranch at Edger-
ton, Canada, where more than 100
beavers are being raised with the ex-
pectation Of providing a yearly reve-
nue. as soon as it is believed they have
multiplied sufficiently to justify seine
trapping. The ranch is located On
the banks of a small creek which has
been the home of colony Of beavers
for years, and on account Of the rapid
multiplication the owner of the land
secured privileges of breeding them
and selling the increase.

Savage Wilderness Marauder,

The fisher Is, taking it all in all,
said to be the most savage, swift
and crafty Of all the marauders Of the
wilderness. In nine cases out Of ten

a fight between porcupine and a
fisher has but one result: The fisher
eats the porcupine. And the porcu-

CHANGE IN RULES
OF CIVIL SERVICE
PRESIDENT HARDING ORDERS
REGULATIONS MODIFIED
Administration Will Have Freer
HRnd in Exercising Judgment
in Naming Postmasters

Washington, May 10.-Civil service
restrictions governing the choice OF
postmasters were modified by Rresl-
den Harding today to give the ad-
ministratien freer hand in exercis-
ing its own judgment in regard to the
qualifications of applicants.
In an executive order affecting ap-
proximately $4,000 postoAices of the
first, second and third classes the
president authorized the selection of
any one of the first three on the eli
gible list as determined by open COM
petitive examinations. Under an or
der of President Wilson the executive
could exercise no such choice but was
required to appoint the applicant
! standing at the head of the hist.
In making the order public Mr..
Harding issued a statement saying
the new arrangement had been decid-
ed on because it would permit such
elements as business training and. ex-
perience to figure in the selection of
postmasters and would not stake the
choice merely ON "a clustered, seho-
lastie examination which might re-
salt ina high grade in theory but not
a guaranty of efficiency in fact.
The president also pointed out that
a choice among the first three al
ready is permitted for fpa1Is class
pessmasterships under Epesalanent
civil service regulations as fixed by
law. He expressed the 'hope that con-
gress would extend these permanent
regulations to all postmasterships by
bringing them under the slsssifed
civil service. u
Today's action was the first i'm
portant step taken by the new ad~
ministration in regard to the general
problem Of patronage and is under

hits, and grew stronger as the game
progressed. 1t was his nineth eonsecu-
tive victory, which gives him a per
feet record for the season.
The locals played brilliantly in the
field throughout but 2 spectacular
shoestring catch by V. Derrick in left
field and the work of F. Shealy at
sh~r. stood out. The Lutherans sew
ed up the game in the fourth, where
four hits, including successive doubles
by the Shealy brothers, and base on
balls, netted five runs.
1t was the last regularly scheduled
game of the season for Newberry, but
the Indians will stage contest with
the Erskine Seceders at Greenwood
Monday for the benefit of the base
ball enthusiasts of that city.
Furman claims the state inter-col-
legiate title, but Newberry has played
several more games in the state than
the Baptists, have won two more
games than Lavail's men have played
altogether.
Newberry lost the first three games
of the season on account of being un--
able to use the regular lineup. Many
people believe that Newberry has the
best college team in the state mas
much as the Indians have hung up
several records this season that have
not been equalled among the other
colleges in many years, if at all, and
they would like to see the disputed
claim settled on the diamond in what
would doubtless prove to be one of
the most interesting series of baseball
games ever played in South Carolina.

DR. Wirth, centerist Leader, Finally

was formulated!to expire on the night

The total sum which Germany is
called upon to pay is $3.50, 100000;
disarmament must be carried out by
Germany in accordance with the pro-
vision of the treaty and the trial Of
war criminals must be put into ef-

terms, in which Germany has been IN
default, will be accepted.
Non compliance with the ultima

to occupation by the allies OF the
Ruhr valley and whatever other MILL

The new cabinet is generally re-
