 It is our opinion that Maricopa county has suffered irreparable losses by not being in position to push construction during these few months of depression and if this en- tire program could have been com pleted by the middle of next May as was provided in the contract with Twohy Brothers company, it would have done more than everything else to have relieved the financial strin- gency of the past few months: which would have meant the releasing of about s5.o0o.000 more. up to and in- cIudin- the first half of May, 1922. covering a period of the keenest de- pression that any of us have ever witnessed or ever expect to again

MORE SMOKING IN SUMMER

The percentage of tobacco consumed during the summer months greatly exceeds that used during a month in the winter, according to figures compiled by prominent tobacco man.
 T can only explain the increased sales in the summer by the fact that smokers outdoors much more during the warm weather and have opportunity to smoke" said the tobacco man. "In the winter time won't always smoke when he's outdoors On chilly day he prefers to put his hands in his pockets instead of holding cigarette cigar In the summer time a lying the beach or out in the country may smoke to his hearts content."- New York Sun.

msBertonBraleyS 1\Ddily Poem eASI EKPERIENCE M NECESSARY

I've seen the world a little bit.
 I've touched at ports a score. And after what I know of it
 I want to know some more. And though, as far as I can learn My homeland is the best, The facts I cannot quite discern
 Until I've seen the rest. They say the ladies here at home Are finest of the fine, And yet, through other lands roam: Lest in this heart of mine A doubt might rise somehow to break The native maiden's thrall And to avoid that sad mistake,
 I want to see them all. So though I'm always on the move And never still. in scfth, It's just my es-erness to prove
 The scientific truth; And is that all the reason why
 I roam, a restless elf? Well, since you ask, won't deny
 That I can't help myself.

EXPECT SHORT
 COURT SESSION

The May term of the Superior court, criminal side, opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon when Rev. Hal T. kearns of the Unipersa1ist church offered prayer. Judge William M. Maltbie will preside during the term. The session this afternoon is being devoted to putting prisoners ito plea, those pleading guilty to be imme- diately sentenced. There are 29 iail cases to be disposed of and a number out on bail. Six are accused of mur- der.
 Judge Maltbie is assigned to hear a session in Waterbury commencing May 24, so it se=Tns that the Fairfield county session will of necessity be short.
 Therefore, unless plans are chang ed, it seems unlikely that the court will be prepared to hsar long mur- der trial, such as that of Mrs. Ethel H. Nott, and Edward Johnston, charged with the murder last August of Mrs. Nott's husband. George B. Nott. The matter may be decided definitely this afternoon.
 In the meantime Elwood B. Wade, already convicted of the murder for his admitted part in same is await ing execution at Wethersfield on May 20. Hope by his family that this date might be postponed through an ap- peal to the Board of Pardons, so that several months time could at least be saved, were diSpelled yesterday when Governor Lake announced that a special session of the board had been be decided then, so that if the board fails to grant the plea the state will not be delayed in collecting toll for the vicious murder of Mott.

new STATE PARK MAY
BE ESTABLISHED IN
COUNTY OF MADISON
{By Associated Press)

{By Associated Press)
ANDERSON, Ind, May 23.-Madi-
son countys relics of prehistoric man,
consisting of two groups of earth
works east of this city, may become
the hub of a new state park. The
project, yet in its initial stage,is sup
ported by the state department of
conservation, and by many local
people.
Richard Lieber, of indianapolis, d.
rector the the conservation commits
sion, has been in conference with An
derson citizens about setting aside
the site, designating it as Mounds
Park, but he said that the state de-
partment was without funds to &C
quire parks, and that if the park is
created here it must come as the gift
of the people.
Some years ago, the works were
known locally as the "Old Fort, but
now are generally called The Mounds
neither of which appellations, accord
ing to scientists are strictly correct.
Arranged in Groups
In general terms, these works con-
sist of two groups situated three-quar-
tiers of a mile apart. One group con-
sists of seven entertainments and low
mound. Four Of these are perfect
circles, three have a gateway through
the embankment and two have a dis
tinct ditch on the inside of the en-
bankment. Two are irregular eclips-
es and each has a we'll defined ditch
inside the embankment.
The great circle which appears to
have been the type of all the others
consists of a circular embankment of
compact clay, $50 feet in diameter and
nine feet above the level of the earth
on the outside. 1t has a base Of 63
feet and a level summit of ten feet.
Inside of the embankment is ditch
!, 10 feet deep and sixty feet wide at the
surface. The central area is 1873 feet
in diameter and four feet high.
Looking little southwest from this
center is gateway 80 feet wide,
where neither the embankment nor
ditch closes. One the central mound
of this great circle slight excaVa-
ton has revealed ashes, charcoal and
calcined bones. The same evidence
of fire has been found in the central
mound of the double circle before de-
scribed. In none of the minor works
does the embankment exceed four
feet high, nor the circles $50 feet in
diameter.
The other group is on the summit of
a bluff of White river Is feet high. 1t
consists of three principal works, the
largest of which is an embankment
and ditch, of an elliptical form with
its axis directed to the southeast,
which is the smaller end of the ell
lipse. At this end is a gateway nine
feet in width, the external opening Of
which is guarded by two small
mounds.
That these relics belong to a race
81 -ho al SC
inferred from numerous stone imple-
ments collected in this vicinity and
the absence of anything metallic, even
copper ornament. Archaeologists say
it would be in vain to conjecture the
age Of these works. Large forest
trees are now growing on them, but
this goes back but two or three cen
turtles which probably is an inconsid-
cradle fraction Of their age.
