THE PYRAMIDS
ByT.T.MAxEY

A GROUP of mounds, about sew
"A enty In number, located In south
western Illinois, net great distance
from st. Louis, comprise what is said
to be the largest remaining work Of
the aborigines north of Old Mexico.
Whence came these Mound Builders
how long they remained and whittier
they went, history seems not to record.
Scientists have failed to establish the
definite period of time which their
construction represents. That these
monuments Of prehistoric man direct
ly connect us with a vanished people
Of whose history we know little or
nothing there is, of course, no question.
1t is thought by some that the So
called missions Of California, many Of
which are falling into decay, are as
infants compared with these ancient
piles of earth which stand in mute
evidence of the fact that; years be-
fore modern civilization, this section
was the seat of an empire Of most
primitive race.
The greatest Of these mounds is
known, locally, as Monks mound (leg-
end has it that a colony of Trappist
monks once lived upon it). 1t Is
more than 100 feet high, covers six
teen acres and, it is believed, must
have required 5000 men two years to
build.

ONE MEDINA FAMILY IN
SIX WITHOUT OWN HOME
County in Need Of 745 New
Dwellings.

There are 745 new homes needed in
Medina county. That is, this many
new houses must be built, according
to estimates just made by the United
States Department of Commerce, if
every family in Medina county is to
be properly housed. At the present
time one family in six in this county
is without its own home. Building,
on the scale urged by the Department
Of Commerce, also would 60 long
way toward beating down high rents
charged in many places.
The above figures have been given
building and loan institutions, which
according to Secretary of Commerce
Hoover are the chief agencies for
home building. To build the estimat-
ed number of homes needed in the en-.
tire county will take approximately
$2,100,000. The assets of all build
ing and loan institutions in this county
are $4,000, but nearly 100 per cent
of these funds already are loaned or
homes and these financial institutions
at the present time are handicapped
through insufficient funds in relieving
the shortage of house building funds
"The home shortage can only be re
1ieved by the placing Of savings in in
stitutions catering to home financing,
according to James A. Devine, secre
tary of the Ohio Building association
League.
Each community will benefit onl.
| in turn as it puts its savings into insti
tutions that help to build towns" sal
Devine. Every rightful effort shoul
be made at this time to increase con
struction work especially in building
of residential type. Such actiyitie
not only will help alleviate the ills G
inadequate housing, but they will hel
general business by providing employ
ment for men who are now idle an
create business for many lines Of ir
dustry."

the Central Freight association at Chi
cago last week, Of reduced rate on

Itions in domestic rate on wheat and

HEADLIGHT LAW IS .s
ENFORCIBLE SEPT. 16.
instructions For Proper Focus
ing Of Lens.

The Pence headlight law requiring
all motorists to equip their automo-
biles with anti-glare devices will not
be enforced until Sept. 16, just 80 days
after the law goes into effect, accord
ing to State Highway Director Leon
G. Herrick. Information to this ef.
feet is being sent out to all law en-
forcement officials together with the.
admonition to the public that the law
will be rigidly enforced after that
date.
Postponement of the enforcement
OF the Pence law came about through
inability of motorists to equip their
cars in the prescribed time and thru
lack OF knowledge on the part of the
driving public or just what to do to
ascertain whether or not their driving
lights were in proper focus. During
the next 80 days efforts will be made
TO teach The driving public how to TO-
| cub auto headlights after anti-glare
lenses have been installed. Experts
declared that go out of every 100
motor car headlights are out of focus
thereby wasting protecting measures
The Sun-Ray Lens Company has
just issued the following instructions
for the proper focusing of lamps
which because of their simplicity are
being used throughout the-state. First
park your car on level surface, about
80 to so feet from the garage door Oh
other vertical surface. See that YOU
lamps are upright and parallel. Il
your lamps are straight and the bulbs
in proper focus the headlights will
throw two small even spots of ligh
on the door and the center Of these
spots will be at the same height from
the level surface as the center of you
headlight. If properly focused th'
d two spots of light on the door will b
uniform and even; if the light is Tin
even or mottled the bulb is too ia
from the reflector You can focu
your bulbs by moving them forwar
or backward.

ASAFETIDA FREEi

AT the request of President Harding
Congress has delayed action on the
new tariff bill, permitting important
legislation and allowing the country
at large more time to become familiar
with Mr.. Fordney's bill Yet the
reading Of protective tariff is a re-
pulsive task. To go through the long
array Of taxes and devices, all design
ed to prevent the flow Of commerce
in its natural channels, is not the most
interesting thing we know Of. But
there is always one section that has
the interest of surprise and almost ol
romance. This Is the Free List. Here

Prohibition officials of Medina
county can find no better field for
employment at the present time than
in and around Lodi Entire gangs
of men employed ON road work and
other kinds of labor have not the
slightest difficulty in obtaining moon
shine liquor with the result that each
Saturday night finds many Of the men
in drunken debauch which ends the
following week when the inebriate's
lack of further funds makes the pro-
curing of more liquor impossible.

strange articles used in industry and
art--a lon gseries of deep, dark mys-
teries.
The Fordney bill with its 346 pages
is not without this delightful inter-
lude. Several of the items on the
free list are intelligble. Art lovers,
will be glad to know that paintings
and sculptures remain there. Coffee
is there, also tea and plows and bibles.
Asafetida comes next. But the pres
ence of cocculus indicus and amatto
and cudbear and osnium and kieser-
ite mean nothing in our sweet young
life, altho we presume they are made
duty free in order to compensate US
for taxes on clothing and food. 1t
must not be forgotten, either, that this
collection of tax exempt items helps
bring down the average" rate of tax
es laid in other paragraphs. e
Many grumbler about tariff taxes
ought to be silenced by reading para
graph 1,640 which allows the importa-
tion of rag pulp free from duty. Il
not there-then surely when he finds
that he can import horn without pay
ing penny on it; also hoofs, if they
are not manufactured If he insists
on still more, further investigation
will show that the benevolent Fordney
will permit him to import free of duty
all old junk, also cuttlefish bone, to.
gether with dried blood, broken bells
lava, leeches and skeletons. If these
household luxuries do not content him
let him load a ship with pulu and
witherite and fossils, and make his
family happy by telling them thai
these prime necessaries do not have
to pay cent of customs duty.
