"Eh? Into what?"
"The war; 1t was easier after

what can be done. All right, eh?"
He said nothing to Mabel of his

Mr.. Bright received the suggestion
with a manner that .irritated Sabre.

FIRST TO CONT Tii::sS FEET
Favorlte Of Chinese nperor, Many
Centuries Ago, Said to Have
Originated the Custom.

j. p. Donovan. authority on Chinese
customs, In an article called Romance
In Chinese Literature" published lii
the Forum, writes:
The ideal Of beauty and the mark
OF gentility for woman used to be
small feet, the compression of which
was not imposed by law but was a
craze Of fashion, as slender waists
were at one time in England. Several
accounts are given as to the origin of
the custom of foot-bindlng, but proba-
bly, the following Is the correct one:
1T is said that Yao Niang, the beau
tiful cOncubine Of Emperor Ii Yu (975
A. d., was light and graceful in all
her movements, being able to dance
with ease and elegance. She gave so
much pleasure to her lord and master
that he caused to be made golden lily
flowers with movable petals for Yao
Niang to walk on from her apartments
to the palace. To CRAFTY the emperor
still further, she compressed her feet,
In order that they might look like a
lily bud unopened, until they were
three inches long"

FIND ANCIENT SCRIPT
Writing Similar to Chinese Dis
covered in Idaho.
Scientists viii Explore Caves and %.
cipher the Writing &c fore Reveal
ing Loeation-Hay Find
Valuable Relics.

Boise, IdahO.-SymboIs and signs,
chiseled. 1t is believed, ages ago, were
discovered recently OIL lava rocks In
a remote section of Owyhee county,
southwestern Idaho.
Many of the inscriptions bear
striking resemblance to Chinese al
phabet characters of Today, it was
said, although archeoIo. SITS say they
may be anywhere from 400 to 10000
years old.
Discovery Of the Inscriptions, which
are said to be mine OF archaeological
treasure, was made by Robert Lin
bert, a Boise taxiderniSt. Their exact
location will not be made public until
they are examined thoroughly this
summer by number OF scientists who
are coming here.
The volcanic rock ON which the in
scriptions are carved is scattered over
a 3O-acre sagebrush fiat. In the i'm
mediate vicinity are several large
caves. around the entrance of which
the rocks also are inscribed. 1t is be-
lieved these caves never have been
explored. Possibly, it is said, they
contain many relics of scientific value.
Two distinct types Of carvings ideo.
graphic and Photographic, have been
noted. Archeologists hel eve the ideo-
graphic antedates by many years the
Photographic. Both systems have been
found together on one rock and near
them can be discerned what appears
to be third system, supposed to ante
date both of the others. but which has
weathered beyond possibility Of deci.
phering.
Clear bits Of this prehistoric writing
are found on one huge water-worn
bowlder 25 feet long, IA feet wide and
feet high. Near the center Is a
series of triangles believed to indicate
Indian tepees, and next to them are
rows Of dots and dashcs, thought to
be numerals.
Resemblance Of many of the in
scriptions to the chara cters of the
Chinese alphabet was taken by some
to substantiate the theory that the
North American We descended
from race which cine from Asia
by way Of Bering straits.
Indians now living in Idaho, when
questioned regarding tie carvings, say
the more modern or Photographic are
the work Of their fnrcfathers. but
they assert the others to be the work
Of spirits.
