Ix.-eURIEp CITIES OF GOLD
SEEKER


SEEKER
what was the imperious race thaA
dotted the territory in South Africa
now known as Rhodesia with Vast
defenses OF masonry, developed great
gold mines, built up a civilization OF
astonishing solidity-and then van-'
ished in a night. leaving no record
that can solve the riddle of its ex-
istenCe?
The traveller through Rhodesia
comes at frequent intervals upon the
mute memorials OF these nameleHs
seekers after gold. Story-tellers have
woven network of romance about
them. Archaeologists have ascrtbed
their huge enterprise by turns to
King solomon, to Hiram, King Of
Tyre, and to the dusky Queen OF
Sheba.
The prcponderating opinion is thao
these works, their defcnses and the
structures indicating religious wor-
ship that grew about them were OF
Phoenician origin.
Certain it is that the search for
gold-folowed by its discovery-le6
these prehistoric adventures to the
BLACK Continent"
The assumption that they did dis
cover the gold they were seeking il
indicated by the finds in the ruins.
These include gold beads, weighing
more than two ounces, gold chain
work. gold taCks in considerable
quantities, pellets and bangles OF
gold, cakes of smelted gold. tools for
working gold, as well as domestic
utensils and weapons OF war.
These immis isrants-probably white,
or at least brown, men-dug as IL
there would bc no end to their dig
ging. They built as if the work OF
their hands would outlast time. Or,
rather, they made the native popula-
ton dig and build.
And then, in some wild tumuit OF
menace and confusion, they vanished
between the rising and the setting
Of the sun-or of its going down and
the dawn of the next day.
The Matabele tradition of this pre-
historic rush for gold and of its sud-
den ending is conveyed by the nA+
tive reflections:
Our fathers told us in the past
ages white men came here for gold,
and that one night they were seized
with panic and fed, never to return.
What happened then will happen
again and then We shall once more
own our land"
What was the panic? To w =
shore did the stricken gold miners
flee?
Sixteen skeletons OF these enter
prising gold-seekers have been found
in the soil OF Rhodesia-and no more,
The skeletons cannot tell the amaz-
ing story OF the great venture. But
the weapons, the adornments and the
treasure of gold that have been dis
covered at their sides tell the tale
OF their Highland suggest the puz-
zlinE magnitude OF the secret thao
has been lost 10 the world.

SKILLED CRIME.

Both the midday robbery OF the Shattuck
home in Washington Square ana the equally
sensational hod-up OF the New York Central
train on the busy track TO Aiban, showet care

in combating such crimes it is clea" that
ordinary means OF protection a'e inadequate.
We must have super policing. Cooperation be

In the movies the criminals would be hunted
down either by a super-detectve, Il Sherlock
Holmes or else by civilian vgian;es.

nary machinery Of law enforcement fails to

WHO AND WHENp

d ABROAD rates ought to come down. The
railroads must realize that they exist for the
people instead of the people existing for the rail
roads
That is the gi>t of World interview with
Henry Ford in which, with Characteristic force
and point, MIR Ford deals with the kind of rail
road control that sees rlroading in terms OF fl
nance rather than OF service:
1T is this crowd which has our rail-
roads and run them into ground They
have thought Of the roads OF
transportation but many securities for
them to play with. aud they have thought so
much OF those securities That those securi-
ties have finally become insecure"
This is true 1t is true not alone of the great
railroad system, upon which the country depends.
It is true OF transit and other public utilities in
cities including the City OF New York.

the losses that somebody must take if the inher-
tied burdens OF past manipulation and miSman-
agement are TO be cleared away.
Is il the duty of the public TO go on indefinitely
putting props under securities which recllIeSSneSs
and incompetence have rendered insecure?
In the case of the coal mine owners a similar
question arises.
Could the mine owners come into court and
demonstrate that their wage-scaIcS their produc-
tion policies, their practices of regulating supply

Racing Balloon Is
 Almost Completed

Belleville, Ill, May 3-Soldiers of the United States Army Air Station here are putting the finishing touches on the big balloon that the War De- pertinent has entered in the interna- tional balloon race to be held May at Milwaukee. This the second balloon to be entered by the Government in an international balloon event. It is being built under he direction of A. Leo Stevens, veteran bajloonist, chief civilian aeronautical officer at the local field.
 The first ballon entered in a race by the Government was constructed two years ago at Fort Omaha under the direction of Stevens. It had a ca pacity of 7S,500 cubic feet of gas. The balloon under construction here will have a capacity of S0,500 cubic feet and a lifting power of three and one-ha1f tons.
 All of the work on this unusually large craft will be done by prtvates nd sergeants, with the exception of the seamtress work, which will be car ried on by women.
 It takes 2,5OO yards of special bal and one-half miles of sewing are re- presented in this job; two and one half barrels of naphtha and many other ingredients have been used.
 The balloon will be known as "U, s. Army No. 2" and will require a net in which 15, ,250 fet of rope will be used. This net will represent IA meshes The balloon when completed will stand 105 feet high from the bot tom of the basket to the top of the valve.

Japs Profit From
 American Tourists


 Tokio. May S-WhiIe Europe Is upheaval. the Far East has been can tourists. The crop" to "be picked" this spring and early sum- mer is to be larger than ever, ac- ship lines, which hal all first-class cabins filled for months in advance of the season, and travel companies, booked for Oriental tours.
 But this year the greater part of tourists will visit China and the Phil ippines, but will stop only a few days that their boats are in port in Japan. The Japan Hotel Association expects another poor season. but they say that anti-Japanese propaganda in the United States is responsible for this largely.
 This has had some effect. but the main reason that tourists are avoid ing" Japan in increasing numbers is because people in this country have in recent years swindled visitors to the limit. Japan is the highest place in the world for a foreigner to live comfortably, and it is even truer for tourists. To start with prices are out of reason-a report made the other day by an Investigating com mittee to the Osaka Chamber of Com merce showed that retailers were making from 50 to 150 per cent. on living necessities. On top of that there seems to be a sort of command ment to stick the tourist and stick him good.

Women Are
 Cigarette Fiends

London, May 3.-The anti-cigarette big impetus through an admission m campaign in England has received a the courts that one hundred cigar cites a week Is the average consump- tion of women in ordinarily good so- cia1 position.
 But the best authorities state that this is an underestimate. Cigarette manufacturers say that great num- bers of women smoke two and three times this amount.
 We have a large number of wom- en on our books who have placed regular orders for a supply of three hundred a week. states one of the best known firms of tobacco dealers in London. But the ordinary woman sm mokes at least one hundred weekly.
 Then we have one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty women to whom we regularly supply cigars. The average order is twenty a week. For a woman to smoke three or four cigars daily Is nothing at the present time.
 '1n addition to these, we have be- tween two hundred and three hum dred women who are confirmed pipe smokers. Their average consumption works out at a half pound a month. For these we have invented a spe- cia1 pipe. with stem that can be lengthen ed.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets - the substitute for ca1ome1-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive-colored tablets are the re- suit of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel com p1aints with ca1omel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calome1 does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomeI. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calome1 sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids It is best not to take calomel Let Dr. Edwards Olive Ia ablets take its place.
 Headaches, "dullness'' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel 'Iogy'' and 'theavy." They "clear" c1ouded brain and ''perk up" the spirits. 15c and 30c.-AdV.

Kansas City Gets
 Decline In Rents

Kansas City, Mo. May S.-May, the month of the "mowies'- not pictures but rent-payers-has been ushered in with a slight reduction in rentals, according to local real estate men.
 The reductions, already being made, amount to about S5 to S10 a. month for houses, while apartment rentals are also showing a corresponding de- crease.
 The decline is con1ing,'' Wilber Mansfield, of the Mansfield Land and Loan Company, said, because there must be decreases in the prices of other commodities.
 Consensus of opinion among real estate men has it that for the first time in a period of six months the de- mand for houses is slightly on the in crease.
 There is a heavy demand for apart n1ents and houses," Lester P. Gregg, Vfce-president of tn Grgg Ralty Com pany, said. 'tIn a few isolated instanc- es persons are holding off, waiting for prices to tumble, but. in the main, we are experiencing no trouble.
