The present national association OF

that American manufacturers then
would have to produce abroad to enter

allege, would throw American actors,
directors, workmen, artists and 1aborers

On the other hand the actors favor n

however. that the Vedic people did not
know the Gauges. but lived In north
west India; so the primitive home Of
the Indo- Europeans was moved once
more. this time into the Iranian re-
gion east Of the Caspian sea-"
Professor Bender goes on to show
how philologians and theologians met
on common ground for different rea-
sons and decided that the location was
southwestern Asia. He presents the
arguments in support of this hypo-
thesis and shows how most Of them
have been disproved and presents the
method whereby modern philoIoglsts
have arrived at this new conclusion.
Honey Bee Ia Factor.
On account Of the fact that almost
every Indo-European language shares
with its cognates u common word for
honey. or for an intoxicating drink
made from honey, II Is made clear that
the primitive home of the Indo- Eur
opeans musi have been q land where
the honey bee abounded. But not one
of the Asiatic sites that have been
seriously considered by modern philol-
ogists as the possible home of these
peoples. falls within the bee belt. In
Europe. on the other hand, the bee
is indigenous almost everywhere.
BY continuing this process Of com
parative philology and by the processes
of elimination the conclusion above
mentioned is reached. "We have left,
finally" says Professor Bender, "the
great plain OF central and southeast
ern Europe, which embraces roughly
the present Poland. Lithuania, Ukraine
and Russia south and west of the Vol

Europeans as inhabiting some part Of
this plain as late as 1900 or $500 B.
G.. Geographically this central Euro
pean plain lies In the very heart Of
Indo-European territory as we now
know It,"
In support of his theory Professor
Bender states In the closing paragraph
OF. his lecture: "N0r can we ignore

FOR LACK OF A BOY SCOUT

The papers recently gave consider
able publicity to the fact that GER
tain physician lost himself In the
woods while on hunting expedition
and was found two weeks later, nearly
starved with q raw partridge In his
hand, because he had no matches to
start a fire. 1t is interesting to notice
how frequently In commenting upon
this incident the newspapers have
pointed out that "the doctor should
have had boy scout along. to show
him how to make fire by friction and
find his direction by sun and stars"
by reason Of the scout movement,
the next generation will be better pre-
pared for such emergencies" observes
the Salt Lake City News. "To say the
man suffered for lack of a match Is to
misstate his case. He suffered almost
to death for lack of fire, and he lacked
fire because we have come to depend
SO much on matches. What he needed,
In the absence Of matches, was
knowledge of some earlier way Of max
ing fire." Some knowledge of the arts
of primitive man are desirable for all
who would seek the primitive wilds.
This is one Of the great ideas of the
boy scout organization. The finished
scout. left In the woods, could make a
fire by rubbing sticks, could make a
wigwam or hut, and could estimate
the general direction by his watch with
the aid of the sun. The boy scout or
ganizers did not discover these things,
but they discovered that they could
still be used In an age of great arti-
fetal progress"

of Princeton university, who declares
that our ancestors Of the cave man

lessor of Indo-Germanic philology at

cations have led him back to the or

Of history. His conclusions, together
with description of the methods by
which he came to them, are embodied

THE RAMBLER
Things Seen
And Heard

Governor Baxter has designated
Friday, May 9TH, as Arbor Day in
Maine. For several weeks local citi-
zens have been pruning tn old trees
and replacing the dead ones, on their
properties. A group of public spirited
residents of Augusta were overheard
the other day, discussing the I'M
provement that some careful planting
of this sort, would be, to the Llth-
gov Library grounds. One of these
gentlemen, whose civic pride is of the
highest, and who has an eye to any
thing that will make for the greater
future beauty Of our city. had quite
definite ideas as to these improve
ments. He said that he was not i'll
favor of cutting the wide expanse OF
lawns surrounding the library build
ing, into flower garden plots, which
even with perpetual care are not al
ways satisfactory; but rather by the
use Of japanese barberry bush. and
other hedge plants. he would distin-
guish tho corners by the street inter-
sections, and also flanking the gran
olithic approach to the building. BY
and other evergreen trees of the same
conical outline, in the riddle distance
between the sidewalks and the b''ild-
ing, he ! elieved the building would be
set off as a jewel. and that this civic
center. at the junction Of those two
beautiful streets. State and Winthrop,
would be notably enhanced.
In summer the sun blazcs down
upon the library lawns. unbroNen by
tree or shrub. and in mid season the
grass is brown and withered. This cit
liens conception Of landscape i'm
provements, it was noted by another
of the group, would have an all the
year beauty and usefulness as well:
his plan calling for the use Of ever
green trees would make for winter
adornment; while the hedge planting
would discourage crossing the groui s
and approaching the library building
by any other than the wide walks.
Another in the group suggested that
with this landscape betterment two
pedestal lamps. one each SIDE Of the
approaching walk mieht augment the
