Fouud at Detroit,

Evidence of the habitatiop of

troit, Minn., was discovered in
that city recently when workmen
we're excavating a cellar for q new
house on the corner of Summit
avenue and Lake Boulevard.
Workmen opened what is
thought to be an Indian grave. In
dian relics were found therein,
such as stone hammer, stone axe,
fragments of pottery, a small
piece of human bone, and a horses
tooth. All these relics were found
within three feet of the surface,
the hammer and axe about a foot
underground and the tooth at the
bottom.
1t is very likely that there are a
number of such graves in that
vicinity as it is we'll known that
the Indians used to camp there in
great hunters in the early days.
The objects found have been

According to MIR. Wm. Bru-

from the Indian Department,
at council, Made an extended

they were trying to help the In

missioner of Indian Affairs Mr..
Burke, as being a very honorable
man of influence who could be

ity to act In his place." All of
which reminds me of an incident
in the late Sixties. A special
agent was sent from Washington
to induce the Mississippi bands of
Chippewas to cede their lands and
remove to the northern part of'the
state. This special agent called
the Indians in council and said:
my red brothers. your great
father has heard how you have
been wronged. He said, 1 will
send them an honest man.
He looked in the North, the
South, the East and the West,
when he saw me he said: This is

LUXOR, Feb. 21.-The Egyptian

steps today preliminary to reopening

safeguarding the contents thereof.
Following cancellation of the Ii

The license which was cancelled

SLAVES GLUTTED
LABOR MARKET
AT END OF 1923
Every State Showed
Shortage of Jobs

The turn for the worse in the
labor market during the last half
of 1928 was more serious than can
be accounted for in terms of the
usual winter layotfs, according to
the carefully prepared labor market
index Of the federal reserve board.
After making every possible allow
ance for normal seasonal charges
the boards statistician finds that
jobs were much scarcer in December,
1928, than in any month since April,
1922.
The report is based upon records
kept by free employment offices in
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin.
These records show the proportion of
of jobs to applicants, that is, the
number Of positions offered per 100
applicants for positions. When care
fully weighed in terms of the rela-
tive importance Of each state in the
industrial life Of the country an in
dex number based on these records
shows the changes in the labor mar
ket, in other words how the law of
supply and demand is hitting the
man looking for a job.
In December every state showed a
shortage Of jobs and a surplus of
idle labor. When the index number
was computed by federal reserve
statisticians it showed the condition
of the labor market was far worse
than the average for the years 1918
to 1922. In fact from the favor
able situation which made possible
several thousand wage increases dur
ing the first half of 1923 the num-
Der of jobs available for each 100
applicants has fallen nearly three
fifths of the way back to the lowest
point of the depression of 1921.
