The chins and Jaws were ven deyel-
oped, and the remains showed our an
cestors to have been splendid speci-
mems of manhood.
The men were buried with their
spears, lances and long knives or dag
gers lying by their sides. and on the
left breast was an iron umbo which
originally protected the shield. With
the woman was generally found her
jewelry, bronze brooches, beautiful
necklaces and food pot on her right
hand with small food knife. The
necklaces discovered were numerous,
consisting Of blue, red, white and
green glass beads or Of pieces Of am
Der. some of great size, with often q
large crystal pendant, or 4 few Ro-
man coins or paste beads with 300
morphic designs.
The bronze brooches, many Of great
size. were typical Of pre- Christian An
glo-Saxon art; many were large and
varied in shape, from the plain square
headed brooches, attributed to about
the year A. D. 800, to the beautiful
and highly ornamented heavily gilded
saucer-shaped brooches, with a variety
Of designs, as the star and sun with
zoomorphic forms, all showing west
Saxon origin. There are two perfect,
large brooches with a Swastika pat
tern, evidently of Eastern origin. 1t
Is regarded as an emblem of the sun,
sacred in many parts of the world
from the earliest times.
There are pretty bronze and silver
finger rings, polished jewels, quito
modern in appearance, pend mt of II
beavers tooth, suggesting that the
animal then frequented the River
Avon. One glorious. massive square
headed brooch is unique example of
the art of this people, whom we have
regarded as primitive. It is five and
quarter inches in length, ornament
ed with a maze Of wonderful design
and highly gilded, and is as bright
and perfect as on the day 1t was
buried 1,40O years ago.
Two extraordinary pendantlike or
naments of unusual pattern are Of ex-
ceptional interest. One represents two
intertwined snakes with open mouths ;
the other, circular in form, shows
twenty snakes arranged within the
circle, with open mouths pointing to
the periphery, and bodies intertwined,
with tails pointing to the center. 1t
is most unusual to see the natural
snake form represented, although the
serpentine zoomorphic ornament is
quite common.

Moral Value of Neatness

A paint up" campaign In Choctaw
county. Mississippi, started with e1-
tension workers, who decided that Il
n few of the school buildings could be
painted and otherwise freshened up by
community effort people generally
would be Influenced to improve their
premises, both inside and out, with
paint or varnish. According to re-
port received by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the women's
clubs decided to put through the paint
ing Of four school buildings in different
parts Of the country. Three Other
buildings were later added to the list
The members of those clubs helped to
raise funds for the paint and enlisted
men and boys to do the painting. One
teacher in school where paint demon
stratlons were given Inter reported
that the children took great deal Of
pride in 1t. These chill dren came with
their parents to the meetings and
worked until everything around the
building was cleaned up-Agricultural

ART TREASURES IN
OLD BURIAL SPOT
Discoueries Date From Eng.
lish Pre-Christian Era.

At Bidford-on-Avon, a Saxon burial
ground dating from the pre- Christian
era Of England has been discovered.
The cemetery lies on the north bank
Of the Avon, and in this ground 214
bnrials are recorded. They include
people Of all ages and both sexes
principally young. The number of
really old people is small. The bodies
were extended, facing generally north /;
the interments were regular and
methodical, and usually from two feet
six inches to three feet from the sur
face.
Notwithstanding their burial Of L.
400 years many Of the skeletons are
splendidly preserved, Henri Picard
writes in Hhe Cincinnati Enquirer. In
two instances practically every bone
Is present. The skulls and teeth are
remarkable-the former dolichocepha-
lie In character, and the latter show
ing almost an entire absence Of carries.
The teeth usually closed edge to edge.
and by the middle aged showed ex-
cessive signs Of erosion from the
coarse and gritty food which formed
their diet. Often the tissues were
worn down to the nerve chambers,
where a dentine of repair as hard as
enamel was formed simultaneously to
protect the nutrient organ.
In almost every instance the ar
rangement Of the teeth was perfectly
symmetrical, without the crowding
and the narrowing of the jaws, the
product Of our modern civilization.

You Will Have an Opportunity to Read it Serialy in
The Glenwood Post beginning next week

an average yearly reduction per Farm
in the total amount Of hired and fam
lily labor for about one and One-half
months. These same men are now
keeping an average Of eight head Of
work stock-one for each AZ crop
acres-where they had II head before
the tractors were purchased. Many
farmers reported that the number Of
horses could be still further reduced.
The annual cost Of power on farms
in the winter wheat belt where trac-
tors are owned has been decreasing
each year since the peak Of 1920. Con-
sidered separately. however, the cost
Of keeping the horses was slightly
higher IN 1923 than It was in 1922 be-
cause of increased feed costs, while
the cost Of power furnished by tractors
was slightly lower in 1923 than in
1922.
Variation In Cost.
There is always a wide variation in
the cost Of power on Individual farms !;
the total cost of power for drawbar
work may be twice as much on some
farms as on others Of the same size
and type. However, with the proper
management of tractor and work
stock and the judicious choice Of
sources of power for different opera
tions. there would be considerable
decrease In the cost Of power for the
year on many farms.

Poor Material Often
to Blame for Fires

A total of $5O8,541, ,OO1 worth Of
American property went up in smokt
in one year, according to the report Is.
sued by the National Protective soci-
ETY..
The report shows that 40 per cent
of the fires may be attributed to made
quate and inflammable building con-
struction,, another 40 per cent to gen
eral carelessness, 10 per cent to simple
ignorance and still another 10 per cent
to purely accidental or "fortuitous cir
cumstances."
According to Charles E. WOrthing-
ton, member of the society, a great per
centage of home fires Is due entirely
to architects and builders who specify
infiammable building material and roof
ing because, in some instances. 1t is
cheaper than safer grades.
North Americans probably are the
most careless people on earth," accord
ing to Ralph P. Stoddard, executive
secretary Of the Common Brick Man
ufacturers of America.
1--WE burn our homes in far greater
proportion than people Of western Eu-
rope, for instance" he said. ut Is evf-
dent from almost every available table
of statistics that this Is due largely
to our lack of foresight in construct
ing homes. There are plenty Of cut
side wall materials and roofngs that
will not ignite from sparks Of nearby
chimneys or other neighborhood fires. !"

Optin,ist Club an
Aid to Con,s,sunity


Aid to Con,nsu,ity
The primary purpose Of an Optimist
organization in any city IL community
Improvement. It accomplishes this
purpose both directly and indirectly.
Indirectly through the spirit of Op-
timism inculcated in the hearts Of It's
members who do not wait for plans
and programs, but put their ideals
into everyday practical application in
their business and social relationship.
And directly through the corporate eff
forts of the club along lines Of com
munity welfare.
If club did not more than make
good Optimists Of its individual mem
bers, 1t would have earned Its right
to existence, asserts Cornelius Conway,
writing in the Houston Post. But we
all know that good Optimists can be
made only by putting them to work
not for the club but for the com
munity.
Optimism is not something that can
be absorbed from talks around lunch
table. 1t is only acquired by those who
are. doing definite things to make hu-
man life better in the community. 1t
is the business of the club, therefore,
to put all its members to work. The
opportunities everywhere are tre-
mendous. Each community has Its
own needs which the local club will
have no difficulty in discovering. And
yet in some respects all communities
are alike. The needs Of any city are
just human needs.
In brief, the field of our efforts m
cludes every form of improvement,
civic, social, industrial, Intellectual,
material, educational, personal in
morals-aye, and spiritual
In fact, the opportunity for Opt
mism is just as broad as the needs of
human life.

 c HE would not have supposed she S could tell this comparative stran-
 ger of her recent experiences, of the raid on DeLisle's, of her abrupt decision to leave Fairtown, of her fa- ther's illness and her constant anxiety about him.
 Eut she did teh aim about things, encouraged by his interested and sym pathetic manner. The dishes he had ordered took some twenty minutes to prepare, and while waiting for them sht talked of some of the matters nearest her heart.
 There were others that she avoided such as Lois jealousy and selfish ness, her fondness for the Rev. Harold Sumner, and James Horton's debt to the church. These affairs were too inti- mate for her to divulge. But as the man listened he appreciated how heavy had been the burden of responsibility laid on this young creature, and how nobly she had borne it.
 At last she checked herself with an apologetic laugh. "I have told you all this," she said, ito explain to you why I have left home, and why it is quite necessary for me to work. Had father not been taken i'll just when he was when his business affairs needed his personal supervision-all would have been we'll. As it is"
 Her gesture was expressive.

 She had known that he was good looking-that he was tall and straight, with dark eyes, and a pleasant mouth Now she noticed how mobile that mouth was, how, when he smiled, his whole face was lighted by the gleam that came to his eyes. She noticed also what firm, capable hands he had-with long fingers. She supposed they were what would be called artistic hands.
 When the meal was ended he drew cigarette case from his pocket.
 Do you smoker" he asked politely.
 She shook her head. "No-not often. I have done it in fun, sometimes-but I don't care for It any more."
 She remembered that she had occa- sionally lighted cigarette when George Dixon was calling, just to tease Lois. She wondered now if she, the Marian Horton sitting here, were ac- tually the same girl who had delighted in shocking her sister.

to see all over the field he dropped down to the top of a fence post and there he waited. He didn't have long to wait. In fact, he had been there but a few minutes when he spied two peo- pie coming down the Long Lane toward the corn field. He looked at them
 sharply and then gave a little sigh of satisfaction. Theylwere Farmer Brown
 and Farmer Browns boy. Presently they reached the corn field and turned into it. Then they went to work and Blacky knew that so far as they were concerned the way was clear for him to visit the hen yard. @
 He didn't fly straight there. Oh, my, no! Blacky is too clever to do any thing like that. He flew toward the Green Forest. When he knew that he was out of sight of those in the corn field he turned and flew over to the Old Orchard and from the top of one of the old apple trees he studied the hen yard and the barn yard and Farm CT Browns house and the barn to make absolutely sure that there was no danger near. When he was quite sure he silently flew down into the hen yard, as he had done many times before. He pretended to be looking for scat tered grains of corn, but all the time he was edging nearer and nearer to the open door of the hen house. At last he could see the box with the hay in it., He walked right up to the open
 door and peered inside. There was nothing to be afraid of that he could

Silk Used With Plain E.
 F Fabrics

WTITH simplicity so absolute the
 w woman who would achieve dis < tinction should make the fabric of her clothes count for as much as pos sible. A plain fabric naturally re- quires elaboration of some sort even if it is of the very best quality. But a figured fabric or one of novelty weave can get by with almost no trimming.
 The clever woman takes advantage of such opportunity to lessen the task of home dressmaking and at the same time insure the element of individuality in her clothes. The figured stuffs of course are not easily planned out of ones head. You have to see the goods, become inspired by them, and then plan a way to make them up. But this in itial consideration settles the matter, and you know the worst is over.
 There are some exquisite prints in plaided effects of silk which are very smart this summer. Also there are some lovely woven plaid silks and usually all of these plaids are em- ployed with the lines running diag. onally. In many instances they are printed in this way instead of the ac- CuStoHeu strdIsHt liHeS WHICH tne WOV- en goods must follow.
 A practical little frock of plaid silk is offered where plain silk is introduced as shaped yoke and tiny sleeves, and also for shaped pleated section across the front of the lower portion. A gray silk, plaided in bright blue, green, orange and black, would be pretty com bined with plain bright blue, while black bands edging the sleeves and out lining the long back portion of the frock would set the whole off delight fully.

Little Stories For Bedtime
Black Screws Up His Courage
By THoRnreN V. BUReEss

IF out of sight, then out of mind.
 This is a saying which you often
 Q hear. It may be true some time, but it is very far from true at other times. Take the case of Blacky the Crow. Blacky had had only a glance into that nest just inside the door of Farmer Browns hen house, but that glance had been enough to show him two eggs there. Then as Blacky flew away toward the Green Forest those eggs were out of sight of course. But do you think they were out of mind? !? Not much? No, indeed In fact, those eggs were very much in Blacky's mind. He couldn't think of anything else. He flew straight to certain tall pine tree in a lonely part of the Green Forest. Whenever Blacky wants to think or to plan mischief he seeks that particular tree, and in the shelter of it's broad branches he keeps out of sight of cu- rious eyes and there he sits as still as still can be.
 q want one of those eggs," muttered Blacky as be settled himself in com fort on a certain particular branch of that tall pine tree. Indeed, that par ticular branch might we'll be called the mischief branch" for on it, sitting right where he now was, Blacky has thought out and planned most of the mischief he is so famous for. Yes, sir" he continued, Il want one of those eggs, and what is more, l am going to have one." He half closed his eyes and tipped his head back and swallowed a couple of times as if he already tasted one of those eggs. There is more in one of those eggs than in a whole nest full of Welcome Robins eggs. It is a very long time since I have been lucky enough to taste a hens egg and now is my chance. I don't like having to go inside that hen house even though the nest is barely inside the door. I'm suspicious of doors. They have a way of closing most unexpectedly. I might see if l cannot get Unc' Billy POssum to bring one of those eggs out for me. But that plan won't do, come to think of it, because I can't trust Unc' Billy. The old sinner is too fond of eggs him. self. I would be willing to divide with him, but he would be sure to eat his first and 1 fear that it would taste so good that he would eat the other. No, I've got to get one of those eggs my
