Cotton, used for the wire covering,

Prehistoric HairDinS.

Hairpins of bone, studded with
tiny crystals, are among more than
$500 prehistoric objects so far un-
earthed on the site of the former
Ambassador hotel, at Santa Barbara,
Cal, according to George G.. Haye,
founder and director of the Museum
of the American Indian, New York,
under whom the work is being car
ried on. Mr.. Haye declares the or
nate hairpin ''show that the prehis-
toric woman had much the same
traits as her modern sister"
From what we have discov-
cred thus far" said Haye, "it is safe
to assume that the tribes who left
these remains were the most skilful
workers in stone and shells within
the boundaries of what is now the
United States. Many of the relics
are unlike any others ever discov-
cred on the American continent"
According to Mr.. Haye, the mound
from which this wealth of prehistoric
material was taken, once was the
rendezvous of numerous tribes. The
Indian name for the place was
Sacyton, which means the meeting
of the trails"
In time Heye added, 1--WE hope
to establish definitely certain facts
regarding all the aborigines, which
will answer many heretofore puzzling
questions"

LYCEUM COURSE,
First Entertainment at Hancock Hall
Next "Wednesday Evening.


Capt. Dinsmore Upton, ''the big
brother of 100000 kids" as he is
called, is to lecture at Hancock hall
next Wednesday evening, November
Z. This is the first entertainment in
the lyceum course to be given this
winter for the benefit of the Ellis
worth high school building fund.
Capt. Upton is a recognized au-
thority on recreation. for the young
sters. From the days when "Dinnie"
was one of the gang in the back
yards of Grand Rapids, Michigan,
he has been intensely interested in
the welfare of the boy. Following
his collegiate work, he became di-
rector of athletics at Grand Rapids,
remaining there little less than five
years. 1t was here that his remarka-
BILE hold and influence over young
people became noticed.
When war came, he directed ply
steal training for 10000 men. The
life was too tame for him, however,
so he entered the aviation service.
Later he was sent into the northwest
to do some special lecturing and it
was here that he first came into
prominence as a gifted public speak
er. He has message for the
youngsters and an even more urgent
message for the fathers and mothers.
He is doing big work, and wherever
he appears there follows "a meritori-
Gus campaign of direct action" for
the boy and girl.

Who is the flying policeman?
Why, haven't you seen him zigzag-
ging high up over the farms; doing
the nose spin over the city streets; or
swooping down with a boom? Well,
then, look upward in the late after
noon or early morning hours and you
will find him on his job. His nasal
'peent, peent' at once reveals his
identity,-he is the nighthawk or
bull bat" But he is not true
hawk; he belongs to different
order. 1t would seem as you watch
him that he is merely performing
stunts, but this is not the case. He
is very busy catching insects on the
wing. They seldom escape his wide
open mouth as he flies for them-a
police dragnet that doesn't fall
short.
He is quite Independent of man;
he works for him, but he takes no
pay, not even a blade of grass to
build a nest. The eggs are laid on
the bare ground, perhaps on rock
and in cities on the gravel roofs of
buildings. Often you find them very
hear the edge, but Nature has looked
out for that by sharply tapering one
end so that when the wind blows
they may spin instead of roll. In
daylight hours when the sun is high
you may find him, if you have sharp
eyes, sitting lengthWise on tree
limb resting from his labors; that is
all that he takes from man.-Bessie
Price Reed, in Our Dumb Animals.
