BRITISH FARMERS
IN POOR PLIGHT,
b0NAR LAW FINDS
Premier Tells AgricuIturists
Frankly That He Cannot
Help Them

LONDON. May 5.-British agricul-
ture is gCing through hard times A
deputation of British farmers called
recently on Prime Minister Bonar
Law. They confided their troubles to
him, and asked what the government
would do for them. Bonar Law told
them flatly that the government
could do nothing for them.
Bonar Law has not yet learned tc
camouflage his meaning when he has
unpleasant truths to tell, He just
calls spade a spade, and let's it go
at that His friends say he has not
yet had enough experience as prime
office, and make unpalatable truths
taste pleasant.
In his talk to the farmers Bonar
Law said: You ask that something
be done by the government to pre-
vent fall In the price of foodstuffs.
1t seems tC me 1t can be done in only
one of two ways. Either by big sub
sdy, the extent of which no one can
foresee. or by protection. The sub
sidy was tried and found impracti
cable. As regards protection, l think
you know as we'll as l do that the
public is not ready for it, and we
could not get a majority for it. Ag-
riculture must get on an economic
basis If it is to live. 1t cannot be

But the House of Commons did
something for the farmers in a mat
ter in which the government allowed
it's supporters TO vote a 8 they pleased
1t gave a second reading to the mer
chandise marks bill by 1888 votes to
100. There. was no great issue in
volved in this bill, or the government
might not have given its followers a
free hand. II provides that imported
food products, including eggs. shall
be marked to show the country of
their origin. 1t imposes nc tariff on
such imports, the idea being to per-
nit an appeal to patriotism in favor
of the competing home products.
1t is prescribed in the bill that eggs
are to be indelibly marked on the
she'll; meat in such a manner as may
be prescribed by regulation; raw
fruit and vegetables on the packages,
and poultry and dairy products on
the box or tin.

ANCIENT PERUVIAN
RACES HAD DEVICE
FOR CALCULATING
Special Machine Found In
Old Tombs Of South
America

LIMA, Peru, May 5.-The fact that
ancietn Inca civilization In Peru pos
sessed an efficient calculating ma
chine has been established by re-
cept discovery OF Francisco Loaysa
of Lima. The instrument consists of
a knotted cord or "quipu," unearthed
in prehistoric tomb near Cajamarca
While 1t has been well known that
the Incas made use of "Quipas" in
common with many other aboriginal
peoples in the new world. Mr.. Loaysa
is the first historian who has been
able to interpret and describe fully
the use to which this device was put
His studies show that the Incas had
we'll developed system of arithme-
tic, based on the decimal system, and
that they employed the "quipu" for
purposes of rapid calculation in sub
traction, multiplication and division.
Consists Of Cord.
The master quipu" discovered by
Mr.. Loaysa consists of a cord about
16- yards long, containing 100 knots
These knots are divided into 10 I'M
equal sections by as many silver
beads, representing the odd numbers
from l to 10. The sections are OF
different colors, including red, brown
yellow, blue and green. The colors
are important factors in the calculat-
Ing process. The silver beads placed
between the groups represent the
even numbers from 2 to 20. By coun- t
Ing according to the rules discovered
by Mr.. Loaysa, all arithmetical oper-
atoms can be carried out in a rapid
and mechanical manner. Calculations
involving tens, hundreds and thou
sands are possible by this device.
Many simple forms of "quipu" have
been found in Peru. but this Is the
only highly developed one yet dis
covered. These master cords were
not in ordinary use, but were proba
bly, reserved for the royal statisti-
Clans
Mr.. Loaysa does not believe that
the "quipu" originated with the Incas
but declares that the device was first
used by the ancient Chinese, later by
the Japanese, and believes that IL
was brought to America by Asiatic
migrations in ages past

SAYS P0CAH0NTAS
WAS NICKNAME Of
VIRGINIA PRINCES
Real Cognomen Of Indian Girl
Was "Matoaka," His
torian Asserts

NEW YORK. May 5.-What was
the name of the Indian princess OF
early colonial days who saved Capt.
John Smith from execution?
"Pocatontas," would be the answer
from almost any American school
child versed in American history.
And wrong" would be the retort
of E. II. Leech of Greenwich, Conn,
who has started a movement to have
history textbooks altered In their
stories of Americas most famous ma
tive princess.
Stirred by recent reports of a
search in London for the Indian
princess grave for the purpose of
having her body brought home after
nearly three centuries. Mr.. Leech
made a study of old historical
sources and says he has found that
"Pocahontas" was merely the nick
name or 1ittle name" coined by her
father, the powerful King Powhatan
little tomboy." The princess real
name, Mr.. Leech declares. was
"Matoaka."
Real Name Known in virginia.
OF more than dozen prominent
educators whom Mr.. Leech wrote con-
corning his discovery. it was news to
all save one, he said. The one was
Harris Hart, superintendent of pub
lie institutions of the state of Vir-
ginia, who wrote Mr.. Leech that
Pocahontas had been recognized by
her real name of "Matoaka" in her
native state, although most folk even
there chung to the diminutive "Poca-
hontas."
Among the authorities Mr.. Leech
cites Is a document written in the
script of William Starchey. secretary
of the Virginia colony, who arrived
with Lord Delaware in 1910. He
wrote:
"Pocahontas, or Matoaka, the
daughter of Powhatan, is married to
a discrete English gentleman. Master
Rolfe, after she had renowned idol
airy and been baptized"
Strachey added that Pocahontas
was the little name" given to chill
dren in accordance with an old In
dian custom. although she was called
Matoaka at more ripe years"
Mr.. Leech also cited the inscription
on painting by Simon de Passe
done shortly after she had made her
triumphal entry into England in 1916
as John Rolfe's wife. The inscription
read:
'Matoaka. alias Rebecca cher bap-
tismal name), daughter of the power
full prince. Powhatan, Emperor of the
Virginias."

SUMMER |WA|I|LIFFIIHH n
MANY COLLEGE Me
TOURING EUROPE
Steamship Companies Flood
ed With Applications For
Places On Boats

NEW YORK, May by Assoc
ciated Press.)-More college under
graduates than ever before are
planning this summer to earn them
selves a vacation in Europe.
Up to the present time transatlan-
tie steamship lines, both passenger
and freight have received over 1000
applications from college men for OPP
pjortunities to work their way across
the ocean, for study and pleasure.
Each season students have crossed
on freighters as hostlers and cattle
tenders, but this years unusual de-
mand for mental tasks is attributed
to a desire to see Europe stimulated
by the stories told by returning trav-
elers.
Although most Of the applications
have come from individual students,
seeking Jobs as stewards. deck
hands, painters. and kitchen police, a
concerted movement has been started
at Dartmouth through the College
Travel club. 1t is expected that ap-
proximately 100 undergraduates, with
scant funds, will leave Hanover, n.
H., for summer in Europe earned by
the sweat of their brows. Thirty
four Dartmouth men crossed the
ocean last year. In addition to the
work your-way" expedition of the
Travel club, the Dartmouth Outing
club and several instructors are con-
Quoting European tours, and many
students of sufficient means. will
make the trip alone. 1t is estimated
that SOC Dartmouth men, or one-quar-
ter of the college enrolment, will
spend the coming summer in Europe.
Many Applications.
The French steamship lines with
terminals in New York bavo nrprnyj l.
mately 400 applications on file from
colleges in various parts of the coun-
try, and expect many more later.
English lines have among their ship
personnel only British subjects and,
therefore, are unable to accommodate
American college students who want
to work their way to Europe.
Steamship agencies here point out
that the professional sailor is given
the preference when it comes to en-
gaging as one of the crew. and only a
serious shortage of seamen would
permit of an opportunity of working
as an able bodied seaman. Even a job
as waiter falls within the select class,
as the transatlantic liners employ
only experienced men.
In the case of cattle attendants, the
shippers rather than the transport
ing companies, select the men who
are chosen as Wallets to the animals
shipped.
Such proposals as one line received
from western college glee club,
suggesting concerts. and others from
various students offering to give am
ateur vaudeville performances in ex-
change for passage abroad, were re-
Jected by one large steamship com
pany on the ground that their lines
were run for payment, rather than
entertainment"

the island of Maui and the largest

now being considered by the terri

The bill would appropriate $4,000

At present the crest is reached after
2o-mile automobile ride from Wall
uku to Olinda, where the road ends.
From Olinda the ride is by orseback.
The distance to the crater from Dim
ola is only eight miles. but it is so
precipitous and arduous that che
trained mountain ponies require
three hours and a half to travel the
eight miles over stretches OF lava.
At the summit, citizens of Maui
have erected concrete resthouse,

building supplanted a cave that was

road is expected to result in further
increases in the number of visitors,

horseback ride have deferred many
persons from making the trip.
Haleakala towers 10,032 feet above
sea level and the crater contains 10

PLAY OF AMERICAN
GOLFERS EXCITES
FEARS OF BRITISH
BY HAROLD HILTON
editor Of "GOlf lIIuntrnted.")

LONDON, May 5.-Sandwich hasn't
In any way served to allay our fears
of connection with the individual
cha mpionship play at Deal or the in
ternational match at st. Andrews.
Your boys did more than passing
well at sandwich. They did extraor
dinarily well or, perhaps, it might be
more correct to suggest that the
British players. on the whole, did
extraordinarily badly. The scoring
wasn't at all superlative-even that
of Ouimet. Willing and Gardner.
Roger Wethered and Michael Scott
had chances either OF equaling or
beating the total OF 1853 scored by
Ouimet and Willing. but they failed
in the run home. and II the truth
were told, they didn't merely fade
away. MISUNDERSTANDING crashed.
When the veteran Scott was six
holes from home he was in winning
position. but he missed every short
putt and then went from bad to
worse.
Ouimet thoroughly confirmed the
good impression which his play
matches at Rye had left in the minds
of the critics. at that.
He is probably the soundest ANA
teur golfer playing in Great Britain
and if he doesn't tire or play himself
stale. the man who defeats him at
Deal will have to produce something
approaching fireworks.
Sweetser couldn't induce his ball
to go into the hole. AS conse-
quence, he became ratified and finally
passed out of the play with record
reading, NO return" But he was
not, the only giant in the field who
aullowed temperament to overcome
his courage and fighting spirit Toll
ley also cried. Enough" a long way
from home. Cyril, for the time be-
ing. isn't playing any too well. and
neither is Holderness. They may
run into their game at any moment
but it would be difficult to find any
man at Deal who would be satisfied
to take chance on these Britishe.s
against Sweetser, Ouimet and Gard
ner-and that speaks volumes because
even patriotism wouldn't tempt them.
