 The standard topic of conversation among tourists is the falling mark. Many of them are spending marks which they bought in the United States when the idea was still prev alent In the world that the mark was a goo1 investment.
 T paid eight cents apiece for my marks and now l could buy them for cne-eighth of a cent apiece" one old woman remarked sadly to group Of younger women. T want to tell you l am off speculation in European ex- change for all time"
 Nearly all the criticism one hears of Germany and the Germans Is from tourists with d German accent Po- lice regulations and passport require ments do not seem half as galling to the 4native- born American tourists as they are to those of German origin. At least they do not talk as much about their troubles.

Topeka, Sept. Reorganization of Topeka No. 1, Department of Kansas, of the American State Guards marks the beginning of a movement to form into local, state and national units those who served in the state guards, or citizens home guards, during the World War. In Kansas this volun- lteer organization grew to maximum enrolment of nearly 10000 men, but lit was disorganized soon after the close of the war when the Kansas National Guard was reorganized.
 Those promoting organization of the association state in their adopted constitution, that they regret the lack of proper recognition for this neg lected branch of the military service during the World War" They point out that most of the states had home guard units during the war, and that the Kansas department will urge members of the home guards in other states to organize.

SEEKS THE ORIGIN
 0F HAWAIIAN RACE
Investigations Are Now Being
 Conducted by Scientist

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. s-The pos- sibility that the Polynesians who first inhabited Hawaii came here di- rectly from the Island of Guam, the northermoA of Micronesia instead of by way of Samoa, Tonga and Tahiti to the south as generally be- lieved, has arisen through investiga- lions by scientists attached to the Bishop Museum here, which is at- tempting. in conjunction with Yale university, to solve the mystery of the origin of the Hawaiian. race.
 Further Investigations are being conducted on Guam to ascertain whether the Polynesian civilization there was antecedent to the Poly ,nesian migration to Hawaii and, if SO, what other racial influences sub merged it, according to Kenneth Emory, ethnologist in charge of the Guam expedition.
 The Polynesian culture is extinct on Guam now and this is the basis for the belief that the Polynesian settle ment on that island was prior to the migration to Hawaii. Evidences of the primitive Polynesian civilization were found in the similarity of war implements unearthed in Guam to those used subsequently, by Polynes- ians here. Skulls found in Guam al- so bear a marked resemblance to those of Hawaiians being rough and unusually rugged, the scientists re- ported.
 By further excavations in Guam the Bishop Museum authorities hope to learn what racial stocks preceded or came after the Polynesian migra- ton to that island. The discoveries there have revealed traces of primi- tive civilizations other than Poly nesian culture and 1t believed that these other racial stocks submerged Polynesian.
 Scientists said that migration from Japan might have forced out the Polynesian strain. as they believe that Asia was the source of the Poly nesian race and that Guam, at sue cessive periods in the worlds history, was the objective point of at least two and perhaps three or more mi grations.
 Strange and oddly shaped stones, presumably marking ceremonial or burial places were discovered in Guam Specimens of crude pottery also were found and this is consid- cred unusual, as pottery had not been found before in the area of the Paci- fic. Petroglyphs or writings in stone. similar 10 those In Fewaii. also were unearthcd, indicating a Polynesian strain, according to scientists.
