MRS. ST|LLMAN
AND GUIDE TRIED
TO JOIN INDIANS

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May a.
Testimony that Mrs Anne U. Still
man and Fred Beauvais made ap-
plication for admittance to an In
dian tribe on the Ganawagua res
ervation near Montreal and were
refused, was understood to have
been given here today at hearings
in the divorce suit instituted by
James A. Stillman, New York
banker.
This testimony was attributed
to Pete Delille, an Indian living
on the reservation. He said no
one with Caucasian blood could be
admitted to the tribe, it was re-
ported. This barred both Mrs.
Stilman and Fred Beauvais, the
part Indian guide, alleged by the
banker to be the father of Baby
Guy Stillman.
Beauvais' father, Delille de-
clared, belonged to the Bear clan,
divided into black bears and
white bears"
In this connection the plain
tiff's lawyers were reported to
have referred to previous testi-
mony that when Guy Stillman was
born in November, 1918, Mrs.
Stillman had a telegram sent to
Beauvais reading:

In the fall the female earwig
lays from SO to 80 white eggs In
the soil. Early in spring the
young hatch and come to the sur
face. At first they are white and
the same shape as the adult, only
smaller, Later they change to an
olive green and finally to a reddish
brown color. The adult is three
quarters of an inch long and has
a pair of small forceps on its tail
end. Earwigs work at night and
hide in dark places during the
day.
In Seattle, it is said, there are
approximately 10000 city lots
now infested with the earw1g.
Some idea of the seriousness with
which their appearance is greet
ed in those cities in which they
are known is seen in the fact that
owners of property in which they
are found are Immediately anxious
to sell.
Salem people returning from
Portland or Albany should take

no earwigs in them" Mr.. Park

old divorce, was arrested today

The child was found dead in
Miss Duncan's apartment last
Saturday night. Miss Duncan lay
on the floor beside the boy, with
three range jets turned on in full
force. Miss Duncan was revived
by a physician.
Quarrel Thought Cause
The attempted suicide of the
young woman was believed by
police to have resulted from a
quarrel with r. G. Dubay, said to
be a wealthy business man of At
lanta, Ga. When neighbors broke
into Miss Duncan's apartment
Saturday night, a note addressed
to Dubay was clutched in her
hand 1t read:

Duncan came to Chicago last Feb

she met Dubay, after obtaining a
divorce from Walter Duncan of
Chattanooga, Tenn. Miss Duncan
was married when she was IA
years old, police said.
Escaping Gas Smelled
On his way to ball game Sat-
nrday Dubay saw Miss Duncan
board a motor bus with another
man. Later in the day he called at
her apartment and after a quarrel
is said to have told her he would
not marry her. Several hours lat
er, he received a telephone call
from Miss Duncan, who asked
him to come to her home. When
Dnbay arrived, he smelled the es-
Gaping gas and with the aid of
neighbors, broke into the apart

FINGER PRINTS NEVER CHANGE
Not even the Smallest Variation Takes
Place From Infancy to EX-
treme Old Age.

The use Of finger prints as a means
Of Identification was first made prac-
tical and put into operation by Sir
William Herschel of the Indian civil
service in the police department of
Bengal. The lineations Of the thumb
and fingers have. however, attracted
the attention Of scientists for at least
a century.
The ridges and patterns are Of four
primary types. First, arches, il which
the ridges run from one side to the
other, but make no backward turn ;
second, loops, in which some of the
ridges make a backward turn but
are devoid of twists; third, whirls,
in which some of the ridges make a
turn through at least one complete
circuit; and fourth, composite, where
two or more Of the first three patterns
hare combined in the same imprint.
1t has been demonstrated that these
ksigns persist unchanged in the small
esessdetail throughout the individuals
life, and that there are no two per
sons whose imprints are identical. The

Kew to Egyptian Hieroolyphics.

The Rosetta stone, one Of the most
celebrated archaeological discoveries of
modern times, is famous for being the
key whereby the deciphecment of the
Egyptian hieroglyphics was made pos
sible. 1t was found in 1899 near Ros-
eta, Egypt, by an officer Of engineers
in the French army, which was then
in occupation Of that country.
The stone is slab of black basalt,
and bears an inscription in honor of
Ptolemy Epiphanes, written in three
guages-Greek, demotic and hero
glyphic. AS the three inscriptions are
of Identical significance, the Greek
made easy the deciphering of the
others.
Until the discovery Of the stone
archeologists had no key to Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics, but since that
time all of Egypt's sculptured litera-
ture has been read With ease and
much valuable information given to
the world.

The bridegroom had recently become

he sent a beautiful sedan chair and a

home, where the ceremony was to be
performed. Something delayed the
bride, and the impatient young man
hurried down to the mission house,
where it was decided to have the
wedding on the spot. 4 meeting was
in progress in the church, so it was
impossible to have the brass band
play. Whereupon one Elsie Ii was
commandeered to play the wedding
march. There was no sheet music on
hand, and Elsie was not equal to the
task of playing Mendelssohn from
memory. She was strong. however,
