VANISHED RACE
OF JUSTINE
/ ARTISTS
Pottery Unearthed in New
Mexico. Older Than Pyra-
mids, UnexceIIed.

Back in the days before the
pyramids were built there were
artists In America, then a land
Pndreamed Of. and some of those
artists were first cousins Of the
cubists Of today.
At least It so appears from q
collection Of art pottery recently
unearthed in the Mimbres Valley
Of New Mexico by DR.. J. Walter
T'ewl6es Of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
DIR. Fewkes spent several months
IN that narrow valley gathering
specimens Of art pottery which had
been taken from the ruined dwell
ingS and graves Of the long van
iShed race.
His collection has just arrived In
Washington and is being installed
In the National Museum.
Most Of the articles are bowls
and vases adorned with hand
painted pictures of which the 40
companying illustration Is q fair
sample.
/ The pictures, showing q mastery
Iof craftsmanship and painting which
few artists Of today could excel.
run through a wide variety Of de.
lSigns and colors. Many Of them
ARE Of animals and birds.
/ Some are Of human figures.
Others are Of intricate geometric
design, and still others apparently
embody a mystic symbolism which
was lost with the perishing of the
race.
Nearly all Of the pictures show
some fantastic ornamentation. How
ever, no ceremic art of the present
day approaches the Mimbres Valley
pottery in beauty or originality
Of design, end specialists believe
that these patterns, Of which. DR..
Fewkes brought back more Than
a hundred, win form a basis for
a new and distinctively American
school of ceremic art.

GERMAN ROADS.
TO PAY COST
Of DEFEAT
Railroads to Be Ultimate
Basis OF SettIement-Were
Kept IN Excellent Shape.
By FRANK e. MASON,
:. International News Sorvioe.

eA'1seApAANNA
PARIS, Feb. 21.-German rail-
ways will play the most important
part in the raising Of money for
the payment Of indemnity, it was
learned by international News
Service this afternoon.
Rails No Security.
However, the International rep.
arations experts are not considering
German railway revenues in connec.
ton with an international loan nor
as security for the proposed Ger.
man gold mark bank. They regard
the railways as the ultimate channel
for the raising Of funds after the
German budget II balanced and Ger.
man currency is stabilized.
Members OF the experts commit
tees pointed out the impracticabil-
tty Of attempting to float a 10000.
100000 gold mark mortgage loan.
They said the world market was
such that the bonds could not be
sold at this time.
The financial experts said that
under normal conditions 1t would
be difficult to sell German bonds.
Now, with confidence in Germany
shaken, 1t would be even more dif.
ficult to sell German mortgage
bonds than it was to dispose Of the
PREPARATIONS bonds issued by the
tnter-allied PREPARATIONS commission.
Bank Needed At Once.
A majority Of the committeeman
believe the proposed German gold
mark bank cannot await complete
restoration Of confidence. They
maintain this institution is neces.
sary to market bonds which will
be based upon the mortgagtng Of
German railways.
There is every likelihood that the
German government will arrange to
classify the railway bonds In vari.
Gus categories, dividing them &C.
cording to the percentage Of income.
The experts found that German
railways constitute the only big
unencumbered property in Ger.
many. Depreciation of the German
mark wiped out the pre-war debted.
ness of the railway lines.
Rails Well Cared For.
Tremendous sums were spent
upon railway repairs after the war.
The German railway lines are now
considered the best in Europe.
Their pre-war value was estimated
at $4,000, 100000 marks and their
annual profits averaged one bill.
lion gold marks. This represented
only a per cent return. That is
regarded as a conservative estimate
of what the railway lines can pro-
duce in the future.

You can take that from James him
self. This youngster. who cost

fulness and has gained the spirit
that makes great ball players. jim
my will always be a shy sort of
person in social circles and will

different person.
He Is going to have a better
chance this year, too. He was
handicapped by lack Of experience,
lonesomeness for his family and a
few other things, not to mention q
physical break that came because Of
the strain under which he labored.
But he now is set for anything that
IL tossed before him. When you
look into his Irish blue eyes you see
fighter written deep in them and
you get sort OF feeling that Jimmy
will make good.
He Is going to have competition,
but what is that? An Irishman likes
a fight at any stage Of the game.

MILTON HENRY RETURNS
TO RIDE IN AMERICA

NEW YORK, March 5.-Milton
Henry, leading American Jockey
a score Of years ago, has returned
to this country and yesterday ap.
piled for trainers license at the
offices Of the Jockey Club. Henry
rode Foxhall Keene's Cap and Bells
II to- victory in the Oaks Stakes
at EPSON Downs in 1901, that be.
ing the only time that English
classic has ever been won by an
American horse.
Henry since then has been riding
with success in England, France.
and Rumania, but has decided to
come back to the United States
and locate permanently.
Henry will sail for England with
in q few days, where he will close
out his business affairs. On his
return here he expects to bring
several English horses, arriving
before the opening of the racing
season in New York State. He
says that he Is able to ride at
115 pounds, but he does not ex.

The Marine Game.


ITHERE is another angle to this
matter which has consider
able interest for Washington,
the site Of the Third Corps Area
Quantico Marines game next sea-
son. Last year the Marines chose
the Capital. This year the Army
has it's choice of a city, and Balti-
more is hoping the Third Corps
will name Venable Stadium.
Washington proved good to both
branches of the service last Deem
Der, but a mistake was made by
the managers of that great game
won by the Marines, z to 0, in the
last few minutes of play. The
service asked and received 10000
tickets.
Long before the game COM
plants were heard from Washing
tonians that they could not obtain
seats to their liking. The Wash
ington baseball club had no de-
Tense except that it had been COM
PEELED to part with 10000 seats
and sell the remainder.
During the last week, when
many had lost interest, good seats
were placed on sale by the Marine
Corps and by the Third Corps. It
was then too late. In other words,
both branches Of the service had
bitten off more than they could
chew. Handled in other ways,
there would not have been one
single vacant seat at Griffith Sta
dunn that day. AS it was, there
were not many. Even the most
rabid Baltimore writer admitted
that.
Washington should start out
right now to land the 1924 Ma
rines-Third Corps football game.
Just as the Army-Navy game is
good for Baltimore, so is the Ma
rines-Army Corps game good for
Washington. It is the best of ad-
vertising. It beats conventions all
hollow, just as the sports pages
are brighter and more enticing
than any others in any newspaper
in the country.
