Two Thousand Volumes Found
in. Kara-Khoto. Famous
Lost City Of Thibet.
nx international News seryice.


CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Much new
information Of early Asiatic culture
has been found in the discovery OF
a library of more than 1000 vol.
umes, printed in seven languages,
in the famous s'lost city, Of Kara.
Khoto. in the deserts OF Mongolia.
This announcement, of interest %
bibliophiles, was made by f.. Il.
Compton, Of Chicago. in addressing
meeting OF subscription books pub
fishers here.
''The almost impossible wastes
OF Mongolia and the mountain fast
nesses of Thibet, peopled with
savage tribes and wrapped IN velis
of mystery" said Compton, ARE
the only parts Of the globe today
about which we have incomplete
information" Consequently the
region is becoming the Mecca for
exDlorers. and their findings are of
great interest to the world at large.
The library at Kara-Khoto, found
by the Russian professor, DR.. Koz-
low. who is continuing his inyestt-
cations in these. regions, consists
of books in Hindoo, Persian, Arabic
Chinese and Monaghan. They are
in splendid condition due to CHI
matte conditions and the manner
they were hidden when the city fell
into the hands Of a Monaghan
horde centuries ago. Kara-Khoto,
her water supply diverted by q
sIlrewd engineer, secreted her art
treasures before her inhabitants
made sortie and were slain on
the plain outside the city's walls.
Legend holds that this occurred in
the thirteenth century. The city,
partly covered now by drifting
sand, was never again occupied.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-Those VINO

according to Harry w. Beatty. vet

The Chicago director visited

France: Italy and Austria. The
opera seaon had closed when ne
reached Italy, but he witnessed
performances in Germany, Belgium
and France, and in each OF these
places he inspected stages anu
their mechanical equipment.
Except for It4ly, where I did
not have an opportunity to view
settings in the larger houses, Il ap-
peared that opera stages generally
were inferior to our own stages
save in size" Beatty declared.
AT those theaters where per-
fornances were given which ] at
tended the theater people explained
that 1t was the fag-end Of the sea
son, and performances, equipment
included, were being skimped be-
cause a majority Of the principal
artists already had departed for
the summer.
1.-THE opera stages abroad are
larger than American stages; that
is one advantage. And the thea
ters are smaller, more compact.
Opera is rendered for ten or eleven
months to crowded houses. It is
as much a part Of the amusement

Applying Dust Poison

Mix one pound of powdered arse
nate of lead with four pounds white
flour or hydrated lime, or if a small
amount is desired use four ounces
of the lead to one pound of the
lime. Place this dust mixture in a
sack which has an open mesh
cloth, and dust lightly on the vines
while the dew is on. A hand buster
such as is used for busting cotton
for the boil weevil, is the best
means of applying the powder in
dry form.
Note-If smaller or larger
amounts Of the above mixtures are
desired, keep the same proportions
of the materials used.

.rur AUTOMOBILE TOURIST
As A. POSSIBLE INVESTOR

Today we read in a Detroit Dis
-.tcb q statement by Austin F.
p.r,et Vice President Lincoln High
-.v Association, thst 10000 motor
,x.itors spent $4s, 575, 900 in southern
c.lifornia in 1922 and that they
20 prepared in southern Califor-
ia for $4,000 cars in 1928. We
rote that the reasons why people
drive 5000 miles to California are
because the roads are properly
maintained, that tells most Of
the story, dependable, maintained
roads. II
The big outstanding fact seems to
he that more than $1,000 per car
was spent by last years visitors in
California. This high amount is
explained because many of the per-
.ons who visited California became
purchasers Of California property.
In other words, California took adj
vantage of the fact that the tour
lists were there to sell them Cali
fornia, not just as a place to come
back to but as place of invest
ment.
Mississippi and especially the Mis-
sissippi Gulf Coast, needs short,
dependable, all the year maintained
highway to the great centers of
population in the North.
The larger portion Of our visitors
come from the states Of Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan and in smaller numbers
from Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, etc.
If the Gulf Coast and the whole
state would get back, in dead earn
est, of such line Of road, it could
be logged, charted, built and main
tanned by cooperation with the
other states in a very short time,
but the line should be distinctly
named and should stand out as some
thing entirely different. "The Mis-
sissippi Gulf Coast Short Line
Highway" might sound like long
name, but it would mean lot to
the fellow who started south to see
such a sign every mile or two and
to be told that it was a dependable
and all year round highway. A
few gaps in Mississippi, Tennessee
and Kentucky are needed to be
built or rebuilt and properly main
tanned to make this possible. It
would be worth thousands of WISH
tors to Mississippi the first year it
was opened for traffic and as the
years go by We might expect to
see even more than California's 49,
900 cars in one year. The Missis-
sippi Development Board Believes
that the road enthusiasts Of the
State should take up the movement
and cooperate with the State High
way Commission to make such a
short route from the North to the
South possible.

TYPHOID MAY BE PREVENTED

Proper Caution now may Save both
Health and Money.
It may be said that the prevail
ence Of typhoid fever is a good in
dex of social and sanitary con-
ditions. It is a disease whose cause,
method Of transmission and pre-
ventiop are well known, not only to
the medical profession but to the
laity, and is therefore, controllable
1t is negotiable that there should
have been in Mississippi $3.50 cases
of typhoid fever during the year
1922, 1,149 white and 1881 colored.
The number of deaths from typhoid
fever during the year 1921 was
s48; 1O8 white and 24O colored. Con-
sentative estimate of the cost OF
loss of time and money in sickness
and death in Mississippi for this
disease alone would be considerably
more than . million dollars year.
This is a tax upon the people Of the
state that can be removed 100 per
cent within one or two years by
putting into practice the knowledge
we already possess. For it is a
disease that is entirely preventable,
whose origin is clearly due to the
drinking and eating Of food con-
taminated by excreta Of typhoid
fever patients and carriers through
polluted water supply, polluted milk
and its product, polluted oysters,
fingers Of those who are either car
aAell fish, vegetables and polluted
riers (well, yet carrying disease) pr
who attend patients and do not take
care to clean and disinfect them
selves properly.
The house fly possibly is the
most common source Of transmission
of the disease.
