ARMS FROM FLINT DEPOSITS
Investigators Have Shown Where
"Mound Builders" Got Their
Supply of Materials.

Methods of ancient munitiOn making
are revealed by recent Investigations
of the Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical society, which show that
the tribes which once inhabited Ohio,
the so-called Mound Builders" got
their supply of flint for their arrow
heads, spears, and knives from the de-
posits of flint which occur in the fer
riferous limestone of Flint ridge
in Licking and Muskingum counties.
A great industry flourished there
once. Skilled quarrymen, with a
patience difficult to appreciate when
one finds that their tools were only
hammerstones of granite or quartzite,
with perhaps the aid of wooden Or
bone wedges, worked out the stone
from the lodges. Either the quarry
men or another group of workmen
then roughed out the blank forms
from which the implements were to be
made. This was done that imperfec-
tons might be discovered and also to
save the transportation Of useless ma
terial.
The roughed-out blocks were then
taken to the workshops in the vicinity
Of the quarry and expert workmen
fashioned from them leaf-like blades,
from which, with but little further
work, all forms of arrow points, spear
points drills, knives and scrapers
could be made.

Great Wall of China.

An examination of the bricks and
mortar in the Great Wall of China
was made at Shan-hai-kwan by a
chemist attached to the Bureau of Sci
ence at Manila. He reports that the
bricks are so weak that pieces may
be broken off with the fingers.
They are much larger than ordinary
building bricks, gray in color, and
resemble pumice somewhat in struc-
ture. The mortar, which is pure white
under the exposed surface, is much
stronger than the bricks. The tradi-
ton that the bricks were dried in the
sun only has been confirmed by labora-
tory tests. If they had been dried In
kiln the appearance of the wall
would have been considerably differ
erent and it's strength and durability
would have been much greater.

MADE MOCK OF SCIENTISTS
Man Emerged Unframed From Oven
in Which Chicken and Bread
Had Been Roasted

For q wager Of $500 man. named
Martinez suffered himself to be practi-
cally baked alive some years ago in
Paris in the presence of a number Of
scientists. He entered huge oven,
specially built, after it had been heat
ed to temperature Of 312 degrees
Fahrenheit, or about 100 degrees hot
ter than boiling water.
Then the door was closed, and he
was left alone for an hour, in company
with an uncooked chicken and an I'M
baked loaf of bread. Candles were
also provided that he might have light
during his incarceration-Or inciner-
alton, as many people thought it would
turn out.
When he was released, however, he
was found alive and well, with the
chicken and loaf cooked to q turn. The
candles had become boiling tallow.
Martinez afterward repeated his per-
Torrance in Brussels, Milan and other
cities, but there must have been some
thing abnormal in his constitution,
since of several would-be emulators Of
his feat none succeeded in staying out
the full hour, while two, at least, per-
ished miserably.
Probably his success was due in part
to the care he took to have every par
ticle Of moisture extracted from the
oven before he entered it, since it is a
well-known fact that hot, dry air does

Steriiizinq Instruments.

After trying many plans, believe
that the best way to sterilize delicate
cutting instruments is to lay them in
pure carbolic acid for ten minutes, then
rinse them off in sterile water, place
them in 50 per cent alcohol for 10
minutes, and finally lay them in tray
of sterile water, writes DR. Edwin B.
Miller, assistant professor OF opthal-
mology in the University of Pennsyl-
vania in an article in the New York
Medical Journal. In the bottom of each
tray there should be sterile gauze
pad. They are then laid out on a
table covered with a sterile sheet in
the order in which they are to be used
in the operation. This saves confusion
and aids the assistant to pick up quick
~ the needed instrument. They are
then covered with sterile towel until

Radio Club
| is Organized
SLEEPY EYE BOYS ENTERTAIN
SECOND DISTRICT WIRE
LESS BUGS"

Southern Minnesota now has a Ra-
dio association. This association was
the outcome of the fast growing pop
ularity of radio work and the ever
increasing amount of interference to
the transmitting and reception of
messages.
Saturday, April 1, Alfred Beech and
Lloyd Berkner entertained the radio
enthusiasts Of this part Of the state
and representatives of six counties
were present. The morning was spent
in getting acquainted and at noon a
bounteous dinner was served at the
Berkner home by Mrs. H. F. Berkner
and Mrs. F. E. Beech.
The meeting in the afternoon was
held in Commercial Club rooms and
Lloyd Brekner was elected temporary
chairman. Plans for the organization
were clearly brought forth. It was
decided this was the opportune time
to organize and steps were taken to
complete the organization.
Lloyd Berkner, of this city, was
elected president of the association,
and J. E. Chapman Of Redwood Falls
was elected vice president. H. P.
Seminar, of Fairmont, was elected
secretary and treasurer and E. T.
Sperling, of New Ulm, was elected
traffic manager. It was thought ad-
visable to have a county traffic man.
ager in each county and the following
were elected county traffic managers
Brown County - Alfred Beech,
Sleepy Eye.
Redwood County - Marshall Whit
comb, Redwood Falls.
Watonwan County - Harry Berg,
st. James.
Rock County-N. A. Garfield, Lu-
verne.
Blue Earth County-John A. Pfau,
Mankato.
Martin County-Ivan Bullock, Fair
mont.
Victor Schleuder, of New Tim was
elected chairman of the constitution
and bylaws committee.
The following were present at this
meeting: Ralph Stegner, Jack B. Will
son, F. E. Chapman, Marshal Whit
comb, ]. E. Chapman, Carlisle Jaehn-
ing, Herbert Lempke and Percy M.
Warner, of Redwood Falls; L. R. Mon
dale, Harry Berg, Jay Priest and Ans
worth Sieger, of St. James; H. P.
Sandman, Gordon Larson, H. J. Boyce,
J. A. Nightingale and I. J. Bullock,
of Fairmont; H. J. Aldrich, of Bel
view;N. A. Garfield and Edward Cav
eny, Of Luverne; John A. Pau of
Mankato; Victor H. Schleuder and E..
T. Sperling, of New Ulm; Paul Chris
Jensen and Albert Asch, of Spring
field; Lyman Green, Lloyd Berkner,
Alfred Beech, Raymond Fialka, Grant
Anderson and Marshal Beech, of this
city. All of these young men are
charter members of the organization.
An organization of this kind is es-
sential at this time to assist in the
development of radio communication
and to regulate the traffic Of radio
transmission and reception. 1t is the
American amateur radio "bug" that
has made wireless communication
what it is today. The American anna
teurs form vast experimental labor
atory and many of theadvancements
made in radio are due to the efforts
of the "bugs."
Supper was served at the Berkner
home and the delegates departed to
their respective homes.

Mason and Dixon's Line,

Mason and Dixon's line in itself was
a very short affair, defining the bound
ary between the states of Pennsylvania
and Maryland, about PA miles in
length. 1t was subject Of contro-
versy for more than 80 years, and was
finally fixed at 80 degrees, 43 minutes
and 1858 seconds north. This line, If
extended across the continent, would
pass through the states of West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and
California. 1t takes its name from the
British firm Of surveyors who surveyed
it between 176S and 1867. During the
Civil war it was considered the north
ern limit Of slavery, roughly separating
the North from the South; Maryland
and Delaware, however, both racOg-
nized slavery.

The Democrats
and KVale
(By J. Landy in Oliver Times)

(By j. Landy in Oliver Times)
The Seventh district democratic
convention held at Appleton on March
30 endorsed one Rev. o. j. Kvale of
Benson for Congress. 1t was a
strange procedure. Kvale js not a
democrat and is not likely to file as
such. He is man without a party,
"a voice crying in the wilderness" He
lead the forces Of radicalism against
A. j. Volstead in the last campaign
and his policy and conduct were con
demned by republicans and democrats
alike in that campaign. He is in no
way, and under no circumstances, en-
titled to support from democrats, and
the wonder is that such a thing as the
endorsement of his candidacy should
be tolerated in a democratic conven-
ton. The only logical explanation
which we can suggest is that the con-
vention was controlled, not by demo-
Gratis, but by Socialists and Nonpar-
tisan leaguers.
What has any democrat to gain,
either from the standpoint of party,
or the standpoint of ervice to country,
or the standpoint of service to coun-
try, by endorsing Mr.. Kvale? If elect
ed he would go into office with a
handicap that would render him pow
erless to give the kind of service that
his district is entitled to. He would be
tagged as radical, and properly so,
and he would displace a man who is
chairman of the most important COM
mittee in the House.
But the most serious objection to
Mr.. Kvale's candidacy comes from the
fact that he was leader of those
forces that did not hesitate to OBJ
struct the machiery of government
during time when every son and
daughter of Uncle Sam was rightly
expected to be loyal to country and
ready to support the program of gov
eminent. Is the memory of demo-
Gratis so short that they can forget
the anxious hours and days spent by
them and their good republican neigh
bors in trying to keep the home fires
burning, while Townley and other
leaders of the Nonpartisan League
were advising young men to ignore
the draft, and creating discomfort in
their ranks?
Let the democrats awaken to the
fact that an uncalled for and undemo-
cratic thing occurred at the Appleton
convention, and let disapproval of the

intelligent Horse Made Her Way for
Many Miles to Quarters Which
She Preferred.

My father was very fond Of horses
and owned several good ones. One
which I remember particularly was a
beautiful, gentle black horse-a PAGER,
which he named "Blackie." He was
very fond of her, as well as she OF
him. He allowed no one to abuse her
and always took the best care Of her.
She was petted and loved and given as
much care as child. She was one OF
my fathers favorite horses and was
the mother of one fine colt, of whom
she was indeed proud.
At one time she was ill and my
father sent her out to pasture in
the country. One dark December night
cold north wind blew and light
snow was falling. About midnight
my father was aroused from his sleep
by strange noise. Did a horse whin-
ny? Now he heard the unmistakable
whinny of horse, at which he arose
and went out into the night. There,
upon the front lawn, to his astOnish-

approach, came to meet him. She
nestled her head affectionately against
his shoulder, and whinnied, as much
