have been obtained from a single

The estimated cotton acreage for
next year in New South Wales is S5,-
900 acres. and a ready market already
awaits this growth, for the English
spinners are eager to buy cotton
grown within the empire.
Although it will be many years be-
fore the effect of Australian cotton
will be felt in the worlds market, the
experimental stage has been passed
and it is expected that great strides
will be made in production during the
next decade,
a Another important factor, less to
the liking of the great English mill
owners, is the appearance Of a few in
dependent mills in Australia. While
the production of these mills is at
the present time insignificant. they are
capable of growing with the increased
domestic cotton production.

ORIGIN OF INDIANS
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Nature of Prehistoric Indians VINO
Made Fine Pottery Is Great Puz-
zle to Geneologist

Washington, Aug. 3.-one of the
greatest puzzles In the study OF the
prehistoric American Indian is the
nature of the people who made a
wonderful type of pottery found In
the Mimbres Valley in New Mexico.
DR.. j. Walter Fewkes. chief of the
bureau of American ethnology of the
Smithsonian institution, recently re-
turned from an investigation In the
valley. but reported he had learned
absolutely nothing Of the lost race
whose ceramics. first found by him in
1918. are pronounced to be among the
best ever unearthed in North America.
The figures of men and animals,
birds, fish, reptiles and insects, as we'll
as geometric designs of unusual ex-
cellence, decorate the pots. bowls and
other household articles found by DR..
Fewkes. The representations Of life
are full of action, and 1t is difficult
for scientists to understand how the
ancient inhabitants of the valley were
able to achieve the accuracy and per-
lection of the involved designs with
out the aid of mechanical devices.
The pottery has been found for the
most part under the floors of the
ruins of ancient buildings, and COM
mercial exploitation of the material
has become SO widespread that the
valley ruins are being rapidly de-
nolished and the instructive arche-
illogical objects lost to science. One
reason for DR.. Fawkes' visit was to
made collection for the National
Museum before the supply was ex-
hausted.

COTTON PLANT SUCCESS

And Acreage to Be Doubled
Next Year

Sydney, N. S. w, Aug 3.-Experi-
nents in cotton raising in New South
Wales have been so successful as to
moro than double the cotton acreage
in the estimate for next year. This
increase in acreage is due to the dis.
covery that cotton grows better under
the conditions existing in the northern
parts of the Australian continent than
in other sections.
The cotton grown experime ntally in
the North Australian districts brings
about one cent pound more than
that of other sections, In addition to
producing q higher grade of cotton,

PLANES TO REACH INDIA I'M
THREE DAYS FROM LONDON
Huge Airships to Make S,0OO-lIle Nonstop Runs 1t
Eighty Miles an Hour.
! oNDoN India II to be brought

ONDON India II to be brought
within three days travel Of
London nv the new airship
service which the government has
decided to support. The air minis
ter announced in Parliament
recently that the government had
accepted in principle the scheme
Of Commander Burney for an air.
ship service to India for passengers
and mails. It will not be a state
scheme, but a commercial scheme
with state support.
Outstanding features Of the
project are these:
Airships as big as the Maure-
tania, Of 5000, 900 cubic feet capac-
ity.
Cruising speed Of eighty miles
an hour.
Nonstop runs Of 5000 miles,
day or night.
Journey to take seventy-four
hours.
The rnain features Of the scheme
are as follows:
A construction and guarantee
company, with $3,0O0.OO capital,
is to form an airship company, to
which series of loans and sub
sides are to be paid by the gov.
ernment. The first is to build
one ship OF 100000 cubic feet
capacity, this project being as
sisted by the government subven-
ton on q loan basis Of $4,000 900.
To qualify for further govern
ment assistance the ship must
make India In 100 hours. This
condition fulfilled, the govern
ment becomes liable for further
loans at the rate of 100000 u
year for the next three years.
When the company has main
tanned a weekly service to India
for a period of three months It
qualities for the receipt OF still
furthers government payments Of
100000 year for three years.
AS soon as the company has run,
q weekly service for a period OF
three months with an average
passenger accommodation taken
up of so per cent capacity, the
service must be increased to a
bi-weelSly service.
When this stage Of develop.
ment is reached the company
qualifles for an additional gov
erment subsidy of $1,25O,000 d
year for three years. Six ships
will be engaged in the bi-weekly
service and the subsidy repre-
sents an annual payment of $210,-
600 per ship for three years.
The company is liable for a.
series of $4,000, 900 loans, and the
intention is to utilize THE $780,
600 subsidies in offsetting these
loans.
The first ship will be built at
Cardington, Bedford, and the con-
struction will occupy about eight
cen months The vessel win be
as Dig as the Mauretania, and
about twice the size of R.33. 1t

The group behind the scheme
consists Of Commander Burney,
M. r. for Uxbridge, and Shell and
Vickers. 1t Is hoped to complete
the journey to India IN seventy
four hours. The passengers fare
viii be about $3.50 or 5000 little
under the regular steamship rate.
The government viii have GER
tain rights In acknowledgment Of
its monetary assistance. Accom-.
mediation must be found on each
ship during every Journey for two
officers and eight men, so that
the air service may have ade-
Quate training facilities.
Moreover, the government may
use the company's stations, and
moor1ng masts without payment.
Sir Samuel Hoare, air minister,
was to say yesterday what the
position Of the government would
be in the event Of war. The
scheme is on the declaration of
war the government can take over
the whole fleet.
The company is not to receive
anything from the government
Tor carrying mails. Commander
Burney thinks that II the COM
pany makes good there will be
considerable profits, while the
government will have the advan-
tage Of an airship service Of six
ships constantly In commission
at much less cost to the state than
a military reserve.

Two pigmy men pick UP the

Sometimes the process takes an
