Hopi Indians Were
Building in 1920

Flagstaff, AriZ., July 19.-(By A p,
Scientists have determined that n.
Hopi Indian buildings Of manv OF ~
villages of the tribe northeast NJ
Flagstaff date back to about 1875
when the Hopis revolted against ths
Spanish priests and tore d.wn mis-.
sions built by the Spaniards. usin,
many timbers from the missions IN
constructing their own houses.
A party including DR.. A. Z. Done.
las Of the University Of Arizona and
DR.. J. A. Jeancon of the COLORADO
state museum returned recently from
the Hopi pueblo villages, where they
made a study of the wooden beams IN
the ancient structures.
Professor Douglas has specialized
in the study of rings in Arizons
trees with the result that he has beeo
able to determine the age Of timbers
The scientists principal Difficulty
lay in securing permission of the m.
dians to make borings in the beams
which are held sacred by the HONS
When this permission was finally
obtained a number of one-inch Dor.
ings were made and the examination
indicated that the beams had heen
cut about the year 1920 when trad.
ton says the Spanish built thsi,
missions in northeastern Arizon,
Some so years later came the Hon
revolt and the missions were tom
down.
Many of the beams in the India,
dwellings are decorated with rich
carvings which DR.. Douglas says are
the work of the Spaniards.

Chicago, July 19-(A. P.)-The

sary the Standardization of their

y AS an example, the committee
pointed out that there are more than
1000 names for roses. Many names
ARE used for the same rose, and this
has resulted in complication. With
the completion of the new nomen-
clature, it is hoped that use of the
standard names will become general

MANY NUISANCES
u |NFEST HEAVY
CITY TRAFFIC

~ Yesterday the city seemed to be in
rested with crop of blind motorists
Now that work has started on the east
side of Main street from Appleton to
Temple building the new concrete sur
face. the west side has been closed to
parking If numerous parking signs dis
tr1buted at frequent intervals mean
what they say. After the west side of
the street had hardened, parking was
allowed there for several days. In
spite of this fact many drivers seem
to think that they have an especial
privilege and they stop next 10 the
curbing. many of them within two or
three feet Of sign. This leaves a IL
to 15-foot street for lines of autos
hoving both ways and it is not enough,
An officer was busy all the morning
trying to keep the motorists from stop
ping, and he had busy time. About
as fast as he would reach one end Of
the street someone would stop at the
other end.
Last night about o'clock when traf-
nc was extra heavy, an indiscreet fem
mime driver did not even bother to
drive up to the curb. but stopped side
Of another car, practically blocking the
street. She sat there very unconcern-
edly while the line of impatient auto
lists grew longer and longer behind her
and while autoists going north ma
noeuvred by her with difficulty. The
footing Of horns grew louder and loud
err and q miniature jam was the result.
Finally one of the drivers got out and
asked her If she was aware that she
was blocking the street. She glanced
back and as result slipped he rear up
next to the curb in front of a mo
parking" sign. letting the autos by
after about FIVE minutes.
Another variety Of pest that the
street builders have to contend with Is
the blind pedestrian. Some seem to
think, If they think at all, that cement
is ready to walk on the minute IL il
laid. As the result one lady has placed
the imprint of her shoes in the half
dry concrete in front of the new Eaton
block. Another lady started to cross,
stumbled and fell on the edge Of the
cement. This brought her to her sense
ind she went around. The shouting Of
the score Of workmen seems to have no
effect on some jaywalkers.
On the whole, everyone tries 70 helm
the difficult conditions that prevail on
the street due to the construction. but
there are enough needless ones to make
trouble.

Robert H. Gardiner Appointed
To Head Important Work

New York, n. r., July 19-Robert
II. Gardiner Of Gardiner. Me-, prom
inent Boston lawyer and one OF the
leading 1aymen Of the Episcopal
church in New England, has been
elected to the executive committee
and will take charge Of the work OF
the American Committee on Preser-
walton OF the Sacred PlaGe N the
Holy Land, as far AZ New~England Is
concerusd. acsofdiHg TO a statement
issued from the committees head
quarters here.
The American committee has come
together for the purpose Of cooper
ating with Archbishop Panteleimon:
representative Of the Patriarch OF
Jerusalem, one Of the outstanding
figures of the Orthodox Eastern
Church and to take active steps
toward the preservation Of the sacred
places in the Holy Land.
These places include such shrines
as Bethlehem, the birthplace OF
Christ; Nazareth, the Garden OF
Gethsemane. the Mount of Olives,
the Holy Sepulchre and many others
familiar in the life of the Savior.
Because Of the withdrawal of sup
port on account of the war and the
Russian Revolution, the Patriarchate
of Jerusalem. which has taken care
Of the shrines for more than IT CEN
turtles, finds itself in financial diff
fculties which, IL not remedied. can
not help but affect adversely the
condition Of the sacred places. 1t is
to avert such an occurrence that the
American committee is now working
to raise funds.
Mr.. Gardiner, who will be in charge
of the work in New. England. has
long been prominently identified with
the affairs of the Episcopal church.
He will Immediately take steps, to
form a body Of representative New
England people to forward the pro-
ject in this section. The first organ
ization meeting will be held in the
near future, probably in Boston.
