Carnegie Institutions Central
American Expedition Makes
Important Discoveries.
OLD CAPITAL IS EyCAvATED
Greatest Native Civilization Which
America Produced Once FIourished
In What Is Now Desolate and
Forgotten Region.

Washington.-After having discov-

after having begun to recover the an

from their Indian descendants, the
Carnegie Institution Central American
expedition for 1921, which penetrated
the region of Guatemala. in the de-

Yucatan peninsula. has returned to
this city.
The expedition, under the direction

airy. The other investigators were DIR.
C. e. Guthe and William Gates. both

The activities of the field season
consisted of the exploration Of the
forests of northern Peten In search for
new centers of this ancient civilian

Dancing Helps
Heart Patients

For two seasons past a dancing class
for cardiacs under eighteen years has
been conducted, under medical and

being given principally by stronger
patients of this group.
Class attendance Is compulsory as
soon as the heart strength is consld-
cred adequate. The weaker and more
difident are gradually indicted. Many
cardiacs have given special fancy
dances In entertainments. This high

TYPES OF BABY BEEF COWS
Three important Factors Should Be
Kept In Mind In Making selec-
ton Of Breeders.

In selecting cows from which baby
beef Is to be produced, three very inn
portant factors should be kept In
mind:
1. The cows should have ut least
a fair amount Of beef blood. Pure
breds are not necessary. but two or
three crosses OF such breeding Ia es-
sential. Cows with q preponderance
Of dairy blood will not do for the pro-
duction Of baby beef.
2. Cows best suited for this type Of
breeding usually weigh 800 pounds or
over In thrifty breeding condition. So
long as early maturity Is not sacri-
feed, the heavier cows are the most
suitable for baby-beef production.
Size OF frame rather than weight
should govern In selecting cows which
are 10 be used for this purpose.
8. The cows used to produce baby
beeves should produce enough milk
to keep the calves fat and growing
without much additional feed up to
weaving time.
In addition to these three factors,
such things a. constitution. Uniform
lty OF breeding. color. size and early
maturity should be considered.

age than was obtained In this instance.
In such a system as the one under
trial there Is not much choice Of crops
to be used In different months. 1t Is
chiefly necessary to- make sure of hav-
ing one crop ready when the prefed-
ing one Is finished. All the crops
used in 1919, the third year Of the
experiment., stimulated a good flow OF
milk in the ewes, produced good
growth in the lambs, and, after weaD-
ing, put the ewes In good condition
for fall breeding.
The ewes and lambs were all pure
bred Southd6wns. Some Of the ewes
raising lambs received half-pound Of
grain each daily until May 10, and %
head Of ewes In a fall-breedlng expert
ment received light feed of grain dur
ing September and October. ALI the
lambs were kept for breeding purposes
and were fed some grain throughout
the summer. In calculating how far
the feed actually produced would go
for grown sheep it was considered that
a lamb ate one-fourth as much as a
sheep until July 1. and after that
one-half as much. A total Of $40
hours work for man and team
was required for blowing and seeding
the 90 acres used In 1919.
Under the conditions of this expert
ment fall-sown wheat and spring seed
lngs of oats and peas sown together
at the rate of III bushels per acre
have been most satisfactory for graz
ing In spring and early summer. Soy
beans are ready for grazing about the
middle Of July and furnish most Of
the feed until October. In November
fall-sown wheat and rye have been
used most, though late seedlings OF
corn and velvet beans were used In
1919 for the first time on III acres
that had received an extra top dress
ing of manure.
The number Of days of grazing from
one acre Of each crop In 1919 was as
follows. calculated on its pasture value
for one mature eve:

Find New Cities
of Ancient Maya

Doctor Guthe's excavations at Tay-
asal proved equally fruitful. The prin-
cipal plaza Of that city was located.
and the work Of clearing away the
earth and fallen masonry from the
principal structures was commenced.
The peninsula of Yucatan juts up
into the Gulf of Mexico like the great
thumb Of giant hand, pointing north
ward. 1t is $50 miles wide, and be-
fore 1t finally takes root In the conti-
mental land mass far to the south,
gradually merging into the foothills
of the Cordillierra, 1t is 400 miles long.
This region, limestone formation
of recent geological age, has gradual
ly emerged from the floor of the Car
ibbean sea, and Is now overgrown
with dense sub-tropical jungle. 1t
supports, in fact, an almost continu-
GUS forest of mahogany, rubber, Santa
Maria, ceiba, chico-sapote (the "chew-
Ing gum tree), and many other sub
tropical trees, which so completely
covers the country that one may trav-
ell In this bush for days without see
ing an open space large enough to ac-
commodate modern bungalow COM
fortably.
In this now desolate and forgotten
region there developed during the
first fifteen centuries of the Christian
era the greatest native civilization
which America produced, namely, that
Of the ancient Maya of southern Mex
leo and northern Central America.
Here great cities grew up, filled with
temples, pyramids, palaces and mon
asteries. built of finely carved lime
stone, which we're grouped around
paved squares and courts.
Once Brilliant People.
In these spacious plazas beautifully
sculptured monuments were erected,
their sides inscribed with elaborate
hleroglyphhc writings, setting forth Inn
portant historical and astronomical
facts. A dense population. highly or
ganized under strongly centralized
governments, flourished In the region.
the vanguard Of civilization in the
New World
But in the course Of centuries pes
thence, drought, civil war and famine
overlook the Maya, so that when the
Spaniards landed on the east coast of
Yucatan in 1851, uHder Francisco de
Montejo, the last remnant of this once
brilliant people fell an easy prey to
the shock of foreign conquest, and they
were speedily reduced to dependence
and slavery. Their once magnificent
cities were abandoned, vast sections
being actually depopulated. and the
tropical jungle again crept over the
region, until today these former CEN
tiers OF life and human activity lie
buried In the grip Of dense forest,
and crumbling walls and piles of fall
en- masonry overgrown with giant
trees alone bear melancholy witness to
former pomp and glory.
Investigations In this remote and
inaccessible region may only be car
ried on under enormous difficulties.
1t Is only very slowly, with infinite
pains and at high cost, that this region
Is being made to yield its archeolog-
Ical secrets and the truth about our
foremost native American civilization
is gradually being made known.
