their attitude had changed.
The party went to San Juan Teotihuacan
by automobile. After a tedious journey
they arrived at deep excavation where
several poems were digging with pick
axes. Nearby stood q great chest partly
filled with relics.
Three distinct civilizations we're buried

the Aztecs, then the Toltecs and the bot

Then the pickaxes began to swing rhyth-

ually changed, and the settlement OF the
discussion finally was that one short pc
riod in which to be part OF the endless
scheme is privilege. Then tragedy came
again, and stayed in the memories Of all
members of the party for days.
Mr.. Nivin showed the tourists three
figures which he had unearthed few
days before. One OF the figures was OF
woman with an infant in her arms.
Another showed the woman with her hands
pressed to her eyes, and the baby's body
seemingly strange and unnatural. The
third was the womans figure bent as
though in grief, and the form of the babe
stretched out stiff and stark across her
knees.
Here was the story of one who had not
been privileged to his one day Of glorious
being. He had lived but one short hour
in the day OF life.
These three little statues tell COM
plete story OF tragedy" said the arch@-
ologist "The first little figure shows
mother holding her infant, apparently
happy and well; the second reveals the
fact that the baby was taken Ill and the
mother was beside herself with grief; the
third plainly shows that the babe is dead
and that the mother is plunged in woe"
That was all. That was the simple
story.
The adventure in archaeology was ended.

such flippant mood we're strangely silent.

else picked up several round jade beads
which must have once graced the neck Of
girl who had lived and been happy in
that city hundreds of centuries before.
Guess we'll come across some skulls
pretty soon" Mr.. Nivin said cheerfully.
"Oh, yes" one of the Americans COM
mented, there must have been necks for
those beads"
There were, and they were found Mr.
Nivin's pick moved methodically up and
down. Then he burrowed deep and be-
fore long began to uncover something of
a yellowish tinge 1t was a skull, per-
fectly formed, and under 1t the bones OF
a man. He had evidently been caught in
a cataclysm of some sort, for he was
standing perfectly upright. Nearby were
the bones Of several children, perhaps
members of his family. There had evil
IDENTIFY been baby in the group, for a
queer contrivance very much like a rattle
was found near the skeletons.
Then came romance: One member OF
the party unearthed something which when
as the figures of man and woman
carved out of stone.
"A bride and groom" exclaimed Mr.
Nivin. See how elated they look, and
how they are all dressed up in their best
beads
That seemed to depress the party. They

Broadway as any of
those who live within
view of Central Park.
There are now few
more than 100000
residents on Staten
Island. There is
room for twenty
times that number.
In the days Of the
first vanderbilts and
Astors Staten Island
wac fho most bealti-
full spot in all the
vicinities Of the city.
1t was the country
retreat of the rich.
1t seemed destined
to be the home Of the
aristocracy. But it
became, with the de-
yelopment Of rapid
transportation in
other directions, too
inconvenient.
The plan is to link
Staten Island with
the Bay Ridge Sec
tion of Brooklyn by
the passenger and
freight tunnel. There
will be, if the present
plans obtain, an un-
derground tunnel
linking the Brooklyn
shore directly with
the Jersey mainland.
This would bring
into touch the rail-
roads of New Eng
land with the trans
continental lines now
reaching their ter
minals in Jersey.
The gr t open
spaces in Staten Is
land are really part
of Manhattan. They
are closer than many
of the populated Sec
tions on Long Island
or beyond Yonkers.
They will be made
more accessible than
either some Of the
Long Island points
or the sections below
White Plains when
the new tunnels are
opened.
1t Is probable the
great stretches Of
Staten Island will be
quickly popu lated
when the tunnel is
completed. There are
beautiful hills on the
i s a n d, miniature
forests and lakes. 1t

NEW DRY OFFICIAL APPOINTED

The first day of next month will
be April FOOLS Day for the boot
leggers of Baltimore and other sec
tions of Maryland. Capt. w. d
Smith, the newly appointed division.
al director of the prohibition bureau
says.
Captain Smith assumed charge OF
his duties March "a, with head
quarters in Washington, and while
his plans for cleaning up the rum
running situation in Maryland and
Delaware and part of Virginia
which are embraced in his division
have not been formulated, he made
1t clear that he will insist on an
augmented force of field agent;
with which to conduct "whirlwind
campaign" beginning April 1.
"Wilf you cooperate with FEEDER
al Director Budnitz at Baltimore?'
Captain Smith was asked.
Wherever necessary Direct
Budnitz will be consulted in all OF
our major operations. You also can
emphasize the fact that we will be
in full accord with the Directors
Office at all times and that there will
be NO friction at any time, as, !
understand. has been reported in the
past"
1t was explained at the prohibition
bureau that the principal duties OF
Director Budnitz are to take care OF
the routine affairs of the Baltimore
district. such as the issuance of per-
mits and other details of a similar
nature, and that he is not directly
charged with the responsibility OF
conducting raids and the securing OF
evidence. which will now be turned
over to Captain Smith and his staff.
The new divisional director will
work under orders direct from Capt.
L. G. Mutt and E. c. Yellowley, chief
OF the general agents. Captain
Smith is fully conversant with con-
ditions in the Baltimore area, it was
stated at the prohibition bureau.

Two members of the Senate
Finance Committee, Chairman Nc
Intosh and Senator Biggs, Friday
afternoon presented a minority re-
port on the Hall anti-betting bill
The committee had reported the bill
fovorably, with an amendment which
would make it effective June 80,
1923, instead of June 1, 1922. The
minority report opposes the bill on
two principal counts, that it "seri-
ously cripples'' the finances of the
State and that it would promote Gun.
limited, unregulated racing, with its
attendant evils" The bill was
scheduled to come up on Tuesday.
The Norris bill, which would limit
the annual racing season to 72 days
would increase from $4,000 to $780,

per cent. tax ON net earnings, and

Of dominance Of the Racing Commits
sion's policy by interests outside the
State, was reported out without
recommendation by the Finance
Committee.
Opponents Of the Hall anti-race
track betting bill, passed by the
House fortnight ago, scored a vic
tory in the first test vote in the
Senate Tuesday night, when an
amendment by Senator Norris, which
regulates racing instead of abolish,
ing betting at the tracks, was passed
by vote of Is to H.. The amend
ment provides for an increase from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the daily Ii
cense fee paid by the tracks to the
State.
Previous to the vote on the Norris
amendment the Senate defeated, Is
to 8, an amendment by Senator Par
ran, of Calvert county, banning all
racing in Maryland except at county
fairs.

The Pneumonia Month.

March is a typical pneumonia
month aHd usually gives a high rate
of mortality for the disease. After
o, long and hard winter, the system
loses much of it's resistance and peo-
pie grow careless. When every
cold. no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention.
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease
and breeds in the throat. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is an ex-
pectorant and cleans out the germ
ladened mucus and not only cures a
cold but prevents its resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to take.
Children take 1t willingly.

Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

The Senate Friday afternoon, by
a vote Of 20 to Z, passed the bill in
troduced early in the session by
Senator Cantwell and designed to
break up the so-called marriage
trust" that for several years has af-
forded Elkton a great deal of noto-
riety. Under the terms of the bill
if both parties for whom a marriage
license is sought in the State are
non-residents the license cannot be
issued for 4S hours after application
has been made. Senator Cantwel
said the only opposition he has heard
to the passage of the bill has come
from the "jitney trust" and certain
clerks of the courts in other sections
of the State.
