PUT TALENT TO LITTLE USE
Horace Walpole Chiefly Famous for
Making Collection Of Curious and
Valuable objects.

The death of Horace Walpole on
March 2, 1907, calls to mind collec-
ton Of curious and valuable objects
which he had collected in his famous
country seat, Strawberry Hill.
One article Of great elegance was
silver bell which had been made by
Benvenuto Cellini for Pope Clement
VII, with rich display of carving on
the exterior representing serpents,
flies, grasshoppers and other objec-
tionable insects, the purpose of the
bell having been to serve papal ours
| ing Of these animals when they be-
came so troublesome to demand that
| mode of castigation.
Another curious article suggesting
the beliefs Of past age was the
Shew-stone Of Doctor Dee, piece Of
polished camel coal which had been
used by that celebrated mystic as a
mirror in which to see spirits. But
we Of this generation and in what we
are pleased to call the age of enlight-
eminent have our crystal gazers, astrol-
ogers and ouija boards, although they
are not being used or believed by the
community en- masse.
But the glories Of Strawberry Hill
have come to an end and way back
In AZ the entire collection passed I'M
der the hammer and was dispersed
in sale which lasted almost four
weeks. Throngs came to see the home
Of the man who devoted his no mean
talents to the pursuit of trifling inn
portance-"piling up trifles to colos-
sal height and making pyramid Of

twice week, from their grown-up
children. Both improved visibly, the
hemoglobin percentage rose and the
weight increased as appetite returned,
and the earning capacity was restored.
Rollin had reasoned that there must
be something In the blood Of the young
that prevents the development of can
Ger, and hence that there would be
advantage in injecting it in cases Of
| cancer.
The MedIzinische Klinik relates that
Kummel gave this method trial in
three cases Of cancer, injecting the
blood of young relatives. The gen.
eral health improved, but this benefit
was transient. The malignant disease
itself was not Influenced.

under the general jurisdiction of the
national park service to the end that
harmony and effectiveness may char
tons park areas"
Representative Carl Hayden OF Ari-
IONA, speaking in the house in support |
of the national monument estimate |
of $27 900 asked for by the national
park service, said among other things:
"There are "a national monuments
under the jurisdiction of the national
park service, and it is not only vain
but foolish to expect that they can be
administered, protected, maintained
preserved and improved at an average
annual cost of little over $500 each.
as is provided by this appropriation
of $4,000. The visitors to the Casa
Grande ruin increased from 1857 in
1919 to 1920 in 1920. But $4,000 has
been expended for the repair and ex-
cavAtion of this Great House, built
nv prehistoric race Of which the
present Indian tribes have no tradi-
ton ard which was fund as ruin
by Father Kino, the Spanish explorer,
i
in 1894. The amount appropriated
will provide practically nothing but
the salary of the custodian.
"Montezuma's castle is another ma
tional monument which is sadly neg
lected and suffering from vandalism.
"A custodian should likewise be APP
pointed for the Tumacacori mission,
/, which is threatened with destruction
, bv those who have from time to time
{ dug up it's floor and undermined
its foundation in search Of gold and
, silver which, according to tradition
Q was buried there by the Spanish

173O by Father KinO, will fall into
a complete ruin. Over 5000 visitors in

son it is estimated that from one t
10 two tons of petrified wood was carried

c. the park service was powerless to pre-
al vert.
"I hope that in the future something
NJ more substantial will be accomplished
g At least $1,000 on the average shout
I'd be appropriated for the care of tn
al national monuments, or a total

contain about 100000 acres. Con-
gress appropriates for each separately
and not always with discrimination.
The Department of Agriculture,
through the forest service, controls
the national forests. They are de-
voted to grazing and numbering and
contain about 1560000O0 acres. AS
the national parks are created from
national forests, the Agricultural de-
partment has been opposing national
park legislation. Also the Agricultural
department has been openly campaign
ing to secure control of the national
parks by the transfer Of the national
park service from the Interior de-
partment. AS part of this campaign
the forest service has been developing
national forests for recreation pur-
poses, in competition with the national
parks.
there are seven rational military and
other parks under the control of the
War department: Chickamauga and
Chattanooga, Antietam, Shiloh, Get
tysburg, Vicksburg, Lincoln's Birth
place and Guilford Courthouse.
There are SO national monuments
Twenty-four are under the interior
department, 10 under the Agricultural
department and two under the Wal
department
r The "a national monuments under
the Interior department were granted
an appropriation of but $12,5OO fol
the calendar year Of 1921, Instead O
: S27, 900 asked by the national parl
4 service. In 1920 the appropriation
V was but $4,000. The result is that tn
i national park service is unable prop
h erly to protect these monuments, t
l. say nothing of improving them.
S Unless the many desirable areas ar

Santa Fe, N. NJ, that opens up the
whole national monument question
DR.. Hewett's suggestion is contained
In an illustrated article in Art and
Archaeology, a magazine published by
che Archaeological Institute of Amer
tca. In substance 1t is this:
ITO meet a condition that exists all
over the Southwest, 1t is suggested
chat under national monuments sec
sion of the act for the preservation
Of American antiquities, it would be
| feasible to establish national monu-
ments districts, in which all ruins of
a certain degree of Importance might
be set out and be protected by the
| government. For example, from Mesa
| Verde in Colorado and Aztec in New
Mexico to the Colorado river in Utah,
the Fan Juan valley, including large
number of tributaries, is region OF
archaeological monuments. 1t seems
tiElely to suggest to the National
Parks association and to the depart
ments of government having custo-
aianship of the antiquities on the pub
lie domain, that without withdrawing
a large area from settlement, the
most important ruins light be desig-
hated as units in a national monu-
nents district, to be administered by
ME national parks service. Parcels
If few acres will suffice in almo.

THE greater part of these ruins are

those that are not might in some way
be brought under protection. 1t is
!. probable that many private owners
! would, If the matter were brought tc
9 their attention, donate important sites
: to the nation.
g 1.-THE plan proposed for the protec
ton of the many ruins of the Sar
!. Juan valley would apply equally wei
a to the Rio Grande, ella and othe
a sections. The Pajarito plateau, ant
;. the entire Jemez region to the ives
are equally rich in ancient ruins.
"In cases where ruins are on state
