On q Skull

Among the Aztecs the sacrifices varied
according to the god that was being hon.
ored, in the number of the Victims. as
well as in the manner they were killed.
In most cases the breast Of the unhappy
being doomed to die was opened; but
others were burned, drowned, fayed or
condemned to die of hunger in the grottos
where the dead were buried. Others,
small in number, fell in the duels the
Spaniards called gladiatorial conbats.
Generally, these atrocious acts were COM
mitted in temples, for they. all had IN
altar set aside for these religious MUIR
ders. That Of the temple of Mexico was
a block of green jasper, its upper surface
convex, three feet high and five feet long.
The ordinary ministers Of sacrifice were
six in number; they inherited their office.
The chief priest at the time he was per-
forming his terrible functions took the
name Of the god to whom he was sac
rifcing. He wore q red vestment orna-
mented with cotton fringe. On his head
he had crown of green and yellow feath-
ers; from his ears emeralds were sus-
pended, and from his lower lip feather
of blue color.

placed the bleeding heart in It's moth
with the aid Of golden spoon, and
daubed its lips with blood When the
victim was prisoner-of-war they cut on
his head to preserve it for the walls Of
the Temple Of the Gods, and the body was
then thrown on the lower steps Of the
temple. There, the officer or soldier who
had captured him seized the body, carried
it away, had it cooked and served il to his
friends at banquet. They ate only the
thighs, the arms and the breast. As to
the trunk, It was reduced to ashes or
given as food to the animals of the royal
menagerie.
On top of one of the temples was the
stone of special sacrifice simple block
Of jasper, deliberately sculptured and

TELL I.C.C. HAY GROWERS
OPERATING AT A Loss

Spokane CA P.) = Testimony
tending to show that the alfalfa hay
growers of central Washington and
Oregon are operating at a loss and
that the dairy industry in the two
states is greatly restricted because of
tke increasing cost of hay growing,
was submitted at the interstate COM
merce commission hearing here today
on hay and grain freight rates.
Rates on hay, both interstate and
within the states, should be reduced
from $1.5O to $3.50 per ton, L. A.
Hunt, sales manager for the North
west Hay association, contended. He
said that a thousand or more hay
growers in the two states had aban-
doned their farms within the past
three years, but admitted under
cross examination that in many in
stances their places had been taken
by others who are now farming the
lands.

is PROTOGEE OF
DIR. G. N. MILLER
STUART WALKER, NOTED PLAY
PRODUCER WILL PRESENT aJOB,
AT ARTIST COURSE AT

Stuart Walker, inventor of the
portmanteau theatre and nationally
known play producer who will pre-
sent the drama, "Job" in the uniyer-
sity artists course, was formerly a
student in freshman English, in 1898,
at the University of Cincinnati, under
George Morey Miller, now head of the
English department at the University
of Idaho.
DR.. Miller tells of how Walker.
then a tall, frail chap, did not prove
to be the orthodox, docile freshman
and instead insisted on knowing too
much for DR.. Miller's comfort, who
had at that time just graduated from
Harvard.
The now famous producer contin-
ually makes reference to DIR. Miller
in his works. The following appears
in the introduction to Stuart Walk
er's "Portmanteau Plays:
ct was at this time, too, that he
(Walker) came under the influence
of Prof. George Miller, of the Eng
lish department. 1t was through Pro-
fessor Miller that Walker became
first interested and then fascinated
by the old English and Scottish bal
lads" r@7
In his booklet entitled, ''The Book
of Job on the Stage, Stuart Walk
er writes:
"Many years later, under the guild
ance of George M. Miller, a young
graduate, now professor of
English at the University of Idaho,
was made to feel for the first time in
a college course that literature is a
living thing and not dusty library
shelf more silent and more uninspir-
ing than an empty grave"
The portmanteau theatre is being
to Moscow by Walker. 1t |
was in 1914 that he conceived the
dea of this theatre which met with
success as one of the |
most sensational modern develop |
nents on the stage. The portman-
eau theatre, which comprises a COM
,lete stage in itself, weighs only 5000 |
and in one hour and a half |
.fter play is given it can be made
eady for shipping. A $4,000 switch
,oard Is also a feature of the stage
quipment for the production OF
job.
Sousa's band and the Ukrainian
horus will be the two other numbers

STANDARDIZATION IS
GERMAN SOLUTION

New York-(A. P.)-Standardiza-
ton of her industrial production has
been one of the principal factors in
preventing the collapse of German
industry, in the face of the multitude
of obstacles now confronting Ger
many, according to DR.. P. G. Agnew,
secretary of the American Engineer
ing Standards Committee, who re-
Gently returned from Europe where
for two months he made study of
the Standardization movement and
the manner in which European de-
velopments in this direction are like
ly to affect American industry.
DR.. Agnew's report made public re-
Gently, says in part:
Germany has SO far succeeded in
keeping her industrial machine in
tach, largely because of the elaborate
scale on which her standardization
work is carried on. German industri-
alists are already counting upon
as one Of the chief
essentials in the revival, on a greatly
increased scale, OF their industrial
production and OF their foreign trade,
as soon as political and financial
stability is reached in Central;
Europe"

LACK OF APPRENTICES MENACE
LABOR UNIONS IN ENGLAND

London-(A. P)-Trade Unionism
is recognizing the fact that the de-
cline of the apprenticeship system is
threatening the existence of the craft
unions in this country. Industrial
recruits are so scarce that nation
al campaign is to be undertaken by
the Federation of Building Trades
operatives to revive the system.
1t has been emphasized that casual
labor is replacing skilled artisans in
the labor market and while Britains S
most efficient craftsmen are said to
be finding jobs in the United States
and Dominions, the supply of train
ed labor for Britain is being stopped
at the source

SAVIDGE WON'T BE GUBER-
NATORIAL CANDIDATE

Olympia, Wash.-Clark v. Savidge,
commissioner Of public lands, tonight
announced that he would not be a
candidate for governor on the repub-
lican ticket.
Personal reasons, he declared, in
spired him to decline to enter the
race. He reaffirmed his previous
stand that he will be a candidate for
the office of land commissioner again

that although he was flattered by the
large number of requests from
friends all over the state to run for
governor, he must refuse to become
a gubernatorial candidate.

third term as land commissioner, be-
ing elected for the first time to any
public office in 1912. He has been
mentioned in political circles here

BUSINESS SECTION
OF Sites DESTROYED

Stites-Almost half of the Sites
business district was completely
wiped out by fire which broke out
early this morning in the attic of the
Name & Thompson pool room. The
flames were discovered at o'clock
by Henry Lamb but the fire had such
a. big start that nothing could be done
to save the dry wooden buildings that
were erected years ago.
A volunteer fire department
brought the chemical engine into ac-
tion but hope of saving the north side
was soon despaired of and attention
was turned to preventing the flames
from spreading. to the buildings on
the opposite side of the street. Two
shifts in the direction of the wind
sent flames to the buildings on each
side Of the pool hail. making the fire
mems efforts futile. The fire final
lys burned itself out after every build
ing had been destroyed, leaving only
the residences at the foot of the hill.

GOODING Sees EARLY
LEGISLATION FOR FARMER

Washington, D. C.-From numer-
Gus conferences he has held since ar
irving in Washington, Senator F. R
''Gooding makes the prediction that leg
islation to aid the farmers is going to
receive early and very serious con-
sideration at the national capital this
winter. The senator first discussed
! the agricultural situation with the
president, and has since talked with
many senator's, congressman and
members of the cabinet, and his con-
/ ferences have convinced him that
there is a very strong desire on the
part of many men here to grant much
needed relief to the farmers in gen
eral, and to the wheat growers in
particular.
In laying before the president the
situation of the farmers of Idaho,
Senator Gooding declared the gov
ernment is in honor bound to help at
this time because the government is
largely responsible for the embarass-
Ing situation in which the farmers,
especially the wheat growers, find
themselves today. During the war
the government fixed the price of
wheat ,and it developed that the price
fixed was below the cost of produc-
ton. Then the government made a
horizontal increase in freight rates
which proved to be undue discrimina-
ton against agricultural products; it
raised the wages of railroad en-
ployees with the result that wages
generally, including wages paid by
farmers, were forced up-and have
remained up, and then when the war
was over the federal reserve board
staged a campaign of deflation.
Because the government has been
directly responsible for the low
prices of farm products, particular
ly wheat, Senator Gooding told the
president that congress, in all fair |
ness should now stabilize the price |
of wheat, and maintain that price for |
two or three years until the indus
try can once more get on it's feet.
speaking, he does not fav-
Or government price-fixing, but un-
der the peculiar circumstances.
thinks the stabuizatton of wheat
prices Is now fully justified. Sem
ator GoodfHg furthermore talked
with tho president about the disas-
trous effect OF prevailing high freight
rates on the farmers of Idaho, and
made plain his conviction that until
freight rates come down, agriculturej
cannot again thrive as it should in
Idaho and other western states. He
declared his purpose to fight for
freight rate reduction this session.
