In addition. the British archeologists
found several new chamber tombs In
the Mycenae cemeteries. The two
largest tombs just discovered have not
yet been cleared. In the entrance 70
one were found painted vases. gold
and amethyst beads and five splendid
intaglio seal stones. On two of these
are standing lions and the figure OF
the great mother goddess dressed In
the elaborately flounced and gathered
gown worn by Mycenean women.
Above her head is her secret symbol,
the double axe.
One of these big tombs has an en-

THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
USE A|RPLANE PLAN
TO PUSH TRAINS

Baku. Azerbaijan. Oct. 1o.-A new
Russian invention for propelling rail-
road cars by the use of airplane pros
pellers has just resulted in smash
up.
Captain Simolov of the Soviet army
had rugged up flat car with motor
to drive a big airpiane propeller and
built little triangular house on the
car. At a railroad junction outside
of Baku, he tried to induce'a con-
ductor of a train to hitch his airplane
car on behind. The conductor re-
fused and the train went on for about
three miles and halted.
AS the passengers In the rear coacn
were making tea, the airplane car
came around curve going at about
sixty miles an hour. Most of the
passengers got out Of the rear car by
way of the windows and the captain
and a girl companion 1eaped from his
flat car which banged into the rear
coach, doubled itself up and jumped
the track, a mass of wreckage. No
body was hurt but the proud invention
of Bolshevik land had gone to smash.
The captain said he did not see the
train in time to stop but. he added,
anyway the brake does not work.
The Russians have been applying
this airplane propeller device to push
trains, automobiles and boats.

actual occurrence. Denials that any one connected with the war depart ment was corrupted by Bergdoll's money should be proved or disproved. The events leading to his escape are. to say the least, open to suspicion.
 What the American people want to know is how Bergdoll succeeded in getting more than $100,000 in gold from the United States treasury, when gold was being conserved, and what influence enabled him to get out of prison at Governors Island and go to Philadelphia ostensibly on his way to Maryland where he claimed to have buried the money.
 It is not likely that any high, off cial of the war department was bribed by Bergdoll's representatives. The American people would be loath to believe that, but the whole unsavory episode should be aired and the blame placed where it belongs. There must have been crookedness somewhere, or else criminal negligence.

 Thus encoura ged, Escalante made wild swipe with his weapon. clipping off a piece of Castro's ear.
 Immediately swords were dropped, the combatants embraced each other. and the seconds led them back to town, where champagne was opened.
 Duelling is by no means limited to petty editors. During the last presi- dential campaign in Chile, according to well-authentieated inside story, Don Arturo Alessandri, the. tho candi- date of the liberty party, after slight dissension with Don Guillermo Rivera, another politician, challenged him 10 a duel to take place near the famous monument of tho Christ of the Andes in the Cordillera.
 Disguised with false whiskers. ac- cording to the story, Alessandri and his seconds sneaked out of the capital. closely followed by the police. The meeting was to take place at ?. m. At s:2o, Senor Rivera not having made his appearance, Alessandri started back toward town. On the way he encoun- tered Rivera, but on another road just across . ravine.

It seems that senor Escalante, editor Of El Com ercio. and Senor Castro, editor Of Fl Nacional, both of Cuzco. were about to settle an editorial quarrel upon the field of honor.
 I had already noted that newspaper men in Latin America invariably car ried canes. I had at first supposed that they did so for the sake of dig n;tv. but after reading the editorials, T decided it must be for self-defense. Every Latin American city. no mat ter how small, has a dozen sheets pub lished, not as commercial ventures, hut as organs for the saying of mean things about each other.
 Escalante and Castro had grown so heated in a debate over local politi- cal campaign that only blood could atone for the insults. From the duel it appeared that both of them had read Mark Twain. They were still insulting each other as they met sword in hand, but both were shaking visibly. ..Go on, smite him" shouted Bsoa- lante's seconds, as neither of them

SHE SHATTERED THE ATOM

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Marie sklodowska Curie is. soon to visit America. She has no special mis- sion. She is coming to America be- cause she desires to see the great republic of the occident and take note of the progress of science in this coun- try
 It is difficult to avoid superlatives in speaking of Mime. Curie. This Polish woman is undoubtedly the worlds foremost chemist. Some would call her the worlds greatest scientist. Others would class her as the greatest chemist of all time. Still others would hold that she is the greatest woman of today.
 She is one of the group of original thinkers and workers which included Mendeleef, von t'Hoff, Ramsay. Mois- san, Fischer. Arrhenius; men who have revolutionized the science of chemis- try But none of these men contri- buted so epochal a work as Mime. Curie's discovery of radium and her SuDScQucHL ucNCiopiiiSht VA SAS --S " science of radioactivity. The old chem istry, which seemed solidly founded on the bed rock of incontrovertible fact has been practically destroyed by the tremendous discoveries of this one un- assuming little woman. Before the advent of Mime. Curie the atom has been religiously held to be the minutest particle of matter. Mime. Curie has smashed the atom into 10,- 900 fragments. Before Mime. Curie it was held that "transmutation of metals was folly of the alchemists, and that the atom, as we'll as being in- divisible, was eternally unalterable. 1 Mime. Curie has proved that atoms may be altered. that one element may be changed into another different ele- 1 ment, and that, in fact, such changes are constantly in progress in nature without the aid of man and wholly beyond human control.
 America may we'll be proud tha.
