Okmulgee, Okla, March 26.-Encroach-
ing civilization is crowding out the old
Creek burial grounds in the northeast
part of the city-a spot that contains
the remains of many of the famous old
chiefs that roamed the prairies of the
Indian territory before civilization lent
its advances to the trades that are now
pushing it into the background.
The humdrum of pneumatic riveting
machines and the roar of speeding trains
is breaking the silence that attends the
burial place of these ancient chiefs and
tribesmen of a once powerful nation.
Shadows of tanks and towers play over
the tumbled and broken stones that
were once monuments to the achieve
ments of noted Creek leaders

 ENTER BETTER ERA
Historic Step Toward Emancl- patton Is Taken by Tokio
 Lower House
By Associated Press

Tokio. February 5.-What is regarded as historic step toward the emancipa : ton of Japanese women has been taker by the house of representatives in the discussion of bill aiming at the nuil- fication of the law prohibiting women from joining political associations or at- tending political meetings. The bill has the support of members of all the par ties.
 The extension of woman's rights in the
 United States is believed to have con
 hderably accelerated the Japanese move
 ment, the leaders of which have been carrying on vigorous campaign among
 the politicians. That progress has been made was testified to by warm address in advocacy Of the bill signed by thous- ands and presented in the chamber, assert ing that it was a serious injustice to deny women access to political knowledge and political activity and that the present law was incompatible with the spirit oi the times. "To make women bette. wives and mothers" the address de clared, abolition of the regulation is inn perative."

 To the native of Ceylon. the graceful coco palms that line the shores where red flamingos file are far more precious than the rare woods and spices. the fra grant tea or the bright jewels Tor which Ceylon is famous. Over the bed on which he is born and over the grave in which he is buried is hung . cluster of cocoanut blossoms to charm away evil spirits This one tree furnishes practically all he needs for life. Tne fruit provides him With Iood ana OH and the sap with 'jaggery" or cocoanut sugar. The milk" of the green nut is a healthful, refreshing drink. The juice of the unopened flower he makes into a delightful wine; distilled. the wine becomes .'arrack," a powerful spirit. From the fiber or "coir'' that cases the shell he makes ropes, fish nets and mating; his baby sleeps in cradie ot coir rope The shell of the nut he fash ions into drinking vessels and spoons, and the fragments left over serve as fuel. He plaits the leaves into dishes and into thatch for his dwelling, The dried leaves serve as torches; with the stalks he fences his garden. He noilows out the trunk of the tree into canoe that. buoyed by an ingenious outriggins of poles, goes swiftly. through the rcughest seas. He builds his house or cocoanut wood, and when he dies, he IS laaid away in a coffin hollowed from the friendly tree. Ceylon yields more than a billion cocoanuts year. Five million gallons of cocoanut oil. 10000 tons oi coir, nearly 400. 900 hundredweight of copra and 1s. 900. 900 pounds of the dried meat of the nut, are exported annually But fully three-fifths of the crop IS consumed by Ceyions four millions.

VEN|zELOS URGES
 FULL RECOGNITION
 OF SEVRES TREATY
Greeks, He Says, WobbIed Because of Belief That Huns Were InvincibIe - Con-
 stantine Is Negligible
By Associated Press

London, February 6.-Absolute preser- vation of the Sevres treaty, which is to be the basis of the London conference of February 21, was urged by former Pre- nlier Venizelos of Greece fn an interview today. "The treaty is the only guaran- tee of the stability of peace" declared the former premier.
 He urged continued support by the al- lies of Greece asserting that the liberal party was unswervingly and whole heartedly broadly, while the other parties were not broadly. The people, as a whole, he declared were pro-ally. It was true, he said that the German sympathizers of the Greek royalty. coupled with propa- ganda based on the myth of German in vincibility, led to "wabbling'' during the war, but he asserted that the whole basis of German propaganda had been dissi- pated in Greece.
 '"The net results of the war;" said M. venizelos, where not only the protrac- tion of Germany, the dissolution of Aus tria-Hungary and the disintegration oi Russia, but included dissolution of the Turkish empire. Armenians and Greeks not only were made slaves in Turkey but million Armenians and half million Greeks have been deported during the war and since. The possibility of restor- ing, in any degree whatever, the blast ing rule of the Turk by revision of the treaty is incredible"
 Upholding the cause of the people whc recently busted him, M Venizelos de- clared that, although he was no longer premier or a member of the Greek Par lament, he intended to continue to worb for Greece.
 Constantine is a negligible man of 54 prey to chronic ill health," he said, "and will not sit on the throne for anything like the span of life remaining to him During this period Germany will nevei raise her material head again."
 He concluded by asserting that the re- turn of Constantine was sad but of only internal import and should not influence the allied policy with regard to Turkey
