The Maya Mystery.

A positive announcement in a re-
cent number of the New York Tribune
has occasioned much astonishment
and some interest among both the
learned and the lay.
Our neighbor makes itself editori-
ally responsible for the statement
that the hieroglyphic inscriptions on
the Maya monoliths and monuments,
Tor many years the despair of archse-
ology and affording the most fasci-
mating problem of decipherment since
the Psychologists tackled the Rosetta
stone, have been so successfully
translated as to yield "unmistakable
references to the Garden of Eden, to
the tragedy of CAIN and ABEL, to the
Noachian deluge and the Tower Of
Babel as well as to the Sphinx and
other features Of Egyptian archa-
ology." These hieroglyphic inscrip-
tions, explains the Tribune, 'ante-
dated by probably as much as a
thousand years the Columbian dis
covery of America"
Now, IL our neighbor Is as well in
formed as 1t is positive in its asser-
tions, IL the hieroglyphics carved on
stone by the civilized Mayas a thou
sand years before COLUMBUS are in
fact read as easily now as a British
Museum or Louvre expert reads the
writings from the Nile or as Profes-
sor ALBERT TOBIAS CLAY OF Yale trans
lates the arrowhead text of a baked
clay tablet from Nippur or Ur of
Chaldees, why, all the world of
science and all the curious as to hu-
man history will besiege our learned
neighbor for further specifications!
There has been no more important,
no more sensational news of the kind
since the day of CHAMPoLLIoS than
this which the Tribune emits as IL 1t
were communicating a fact which
everybody ought to know.
Learned societies the world over,
museums, pathological sharps, pa
leontolo gists, Biblical students, every
body with sense OF what's what in
the records VI the past, will be de-
mandi e the Tribune additional
and Il satisfying information.
When, ,re and by whom were the
Maya oglyphics of the fifth or
sixth &C tury after CHRIST deciph-
cred? by what process was easy
translation reached? What genius
discovered the key that unlocked the
mystery over which Harvard AMI
Berlin and the Smithsonian and our
own Museum of Natural History up
town have been working laboriously
and with cautious IL slow acceptance
of conjecture?
Even those OF the unlearned who
like TO gaze on the strange quadras
and spirals and swirls of the beauti-
fully incised inscriptions from Co.

in the facsimile anonoliths exhibited

Canada's Decennial Census
Entire Population Supposed to B
Counted From Sunrise to Sunset.

From the Populdr Mechanics Maoosine.
On June l, 1921, the Dominion of Can
ada began taking her sixth decennial
census since the confederation. Off,
cially the entire population is supposed
to be counted between sunrise and sun
set of that day. In reality the censm
In the cities and suburban conmunities
was completed In from three to fout
weeks. In the far wildernesses, says a
contributor who accompanied a census
enumerator in one of these regions. the
work took from five to eight weeks. and
some returns from within the Arctic
Circle required about four months to
reach the capital, Ottawa. The general
estimate in advance of the compiling
of the figures is that these will show
Canada to have 100000 population.
On this basis the Dominion, with an
area of 3,729.6s5 square miles, has a
little more than two inhabitants to the
square mile.
No other country In the worlds census
taking nearly approaches to that of the
Dominion In magnitude, as the few
cities lie along fringe $500 miles long.
The total cost of the sixth census was
little over s2.0o0.000. The work re-
quired 24O commissioners and 1850
enumerators. In the far northern re-
gions the Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice. the Hudson Bay factors and the
missionaries acted as enumerators, and
every Eskimo that could be located was
put down.
The Indians were enumerated by the
Indian agents. Among the chief quos-
tions asked each resident OF the Domin-
ion for the form entitled population
were name. place of abode, personal de-
scription. nativity of parents, birth
place. citizenship. number OF languages
spoken. occupation, employment earn

Canada can claim the distinction Of

to inaugurate census taking. This

known. The result showed a white pop
ulation OF 3.215.

Every Man His Own Law Maker.

What somebody called every mans
law-law which is not found in the
statutes, the codes or the law books
but Is mostly founded upon tradition,
hearsay and often misinterpretation
Of court rulings, which is sometimes
wrong and sometimes right--gets
interesting revisions and additions
almost daily somewhere in this
country. The other day in Michi-
gan court an attorney pleaded that
his client had been struck in the face
while wearing glasses, and that there
fore the aggressor should be severely
punished. II am surprised" said the
Judge, that an attorney OF the bar
should advance such an argument.
There is an unwritten law OF consid-
cradle antiquity that he who strikes
an eyeglass wearer commits felony
punishable with years in the dun
geon. But every attorney knows that
it is curbstone law and that in real
ity the offence Is upon the same basis
whether the individual wears or does
not wear glasses" Thus an ancient
legend OF the law is swatted by the
Court itself.
In the Circuit Court at Chicago
recently in a long drawn out case
involving the ownership Of property
Judge DAVID M. BROTHERS ruled that
nobody really needs a dog. That
kind of law might do for Chicago,
but 1t Is contrary to every tradition
and custom of the Arkansan and
Georgian hills. A bothersome ques-
tion was settled in the Mayors court
of Tulsa when it was decided that a
pup Is dog when 1t is four months
old. Oklahoma may abide by that de-
cision, but the rest of the country
will continue to cling to the belief
that a pup becomes of age when it
has dog sense, whatever that Is.
What is a squirrel? bothered
California court for a long time
until Superior Judge T. A. NoRToN
of San Luis Obispo county finally
made a ruling in a suit involving
the question IL the little animal Is
CT is not pest. The ruling as re
ported was "the squirrel is not an
insect, nor does II lay eggs" Com
muters with chicken yards and gar
dens may also be interested In an
ether decision from the same State
made by Police Judge SHELLEY
OF Sacramento to the effect that
chickens have intelligence. This
decision" it was stated, was based
on the ground that the mother hen
acts with intelligence, as do also her
children, when she gathers them un-
der her wings"
Another legal tradition was jolted
when an Indiana policeman, asked to
describe an affray, said that he could
not because he had seen 1t through
glass" The Judge said that the
reason was ridiculous, that such a
defence came from remote times
when window panes were so bad no
body could see through them. An
Illinois Judge reprimanded n witness
who said "A woman's word goes fur
ther n q mans in court" with this
comment, ITO us students ~ truth

TUBERCULOSIS PUBLIC HEALTH
NURSES

Since the successful treatment OF
tuberculosis depends upon the dis
covery OF the disease early and the
beginning of intelligent treatment of
1t at once, the Public Health Nurse
may be said to be on the Firing Line
in the ceaseless fight against the
disease which killed 10000 persons
In this country last year and which
affllctS at least n million more men
women and children in this country
today.
Most persons fail to take heed of
the danger signals which indicate
they have tuberculosis and it is I'M
poss(1be to calculate the number of
cases which have been discovered by
Public Health Nurses in time to in
sure proper treatment of the disease.
The first Public Health Nurse in
the United States began tuberculosis
nursing in 1904.
The benefits to be derived from
having nurses call at homes where
there was sickness was recognized
early and 1t is significant that 1000
Of the first 5000 public. health
nurses in this country were employed
by tuberculosis agencies. At the
present time, there are 10000 public
health nurses in the United States.
How far this is from the entire num-
Der needed is shown by the fact thai
experts have estimated that there
should be one Public Health Nurse
to every 1000 population in the
average community.
Public Health Nursing is only
one phase OF the widespread work
against tuberculosis promoted by the
National Tuberculosis Association
and its 1900 affiliated state and local
organizations. This educational
work is supported by the sale of
tuberculosis Christmas Seals. The
Fourteenth Annual Christmas Seal
Sale will be held in December of
this year and every dollar invested in
