 T am not in sympathy with the third party movements. Generally I believe the two dominant parties who are fos- tered and financed from the same source should unite their forces as there is little to distinguish them. Both ha 5e become playthings of ,what we usually refer to as Wall street. The leader of one party an attorney for Morgan, and the other acting as messenger for the oil interests. As.s
 T am convinced the lines should be drawn on different angles and that the representatives of special privilege should have their party and those in the other group should have theirs. This would eliminate confusion and ob- yiate the expenditure of, some $2O,OOO : 900 in presidential campaigns that might well be used for better purposes. Il do not believe the selection of one man on an alleged reform ticket will bring about the solution so much de- sired"

 An expedition sent into Yucatan, the site of the Mayas' greatest cultural achievement, early this spring, has sent back to the institution here its first, report of actual progress on the task of digging the ancient metropolis from it's jungle covered grave in. gem uine effort to solve the mystery of the origin of the people who built it.
 Morley Heads Expedition
 Dr, .Sylyanus c. Morley, associate of the Carnegie institution in Middle American Archaeology, is. head of the expedition, which reached .Chichen Itza May IS. Since that time the ,excaya- tors have devoted their unrestricted at tention to uncoyering a group of prya- mids and temples in the very heart of the buried city, known as "The Court of the Thousand Columns"
 Part of this has already been re- claimed, the excavators coming upon, beautifully carved columns whose num- bers led to the name ascribed to the court above. In the, course of their ex- cavationss the archaeolo ologists, Dr. Nor ley wrote, found a great mosaic which had once graced the entrance to one of, the temples in this court.
 Must Piece Mosaic Together
 Examination proved it to. have con- tained large central figure of Ku KulcaIi, the patron deity of Chichen' Itza, surrounded by jaguars and flow CTS. The mosaic lay in c thousand pieces when the archaeologists found it, scattered over a stone platform that had once been the floor of the temple. Dr.. Morley compared it to . great pic tilre puzzle which the members of his staff must carefully piece together and study.

HAITISH0WS
IMPROVEMENT

Port -Au- Prince, Haiti, FEB. %.
summary Of the annual report of the
receiver general Of customs for Haiti
shows a remarkable continuance of
the economic improvement. begun in
1922. The gain in trade is the more
noteworthy when comparison is made
with the conditions true of the great
majority Of count ies IN the Carib-
bean. The coIlectipn,of customs for
the rlsca! year tdtalled sGI 1890,
exceeding last years figures by
margin Of s1,l94,5 December, the
highest monthly Collection for the
fiscal year, with S75s,71, topped
that of the preceding year By s63,5l3.
The volume of trade for the year
was 3O,575,8l7, a gain Of s7,5l3,33o.
This year the exports ACCOUNTED to
s14,591,O1 as against slo,7l2,2lo, or
an increase Of s3,S78,S02. The i'm
ports for the year we're s14,l51 1903,
or an increase of $l,So7,692. Where
as in the fiscal year Of 1922 the i'm
ports exceeded the exports by $l,C38,-
O6l, the fiscal year just passed shows
an excess of exports to the amount
Of $433,049. The two principal ex-
ports, coffee and cotton, go almost
wholly To France.
The cost of collecting one dollar
for 1923 was $0.0357 as compared to
$004l7 for the preceding year.
Haiti's shipping figures also reflect
clearly the splendid year Of business.
The number of ships, both foreign
and coastwise, that entered her ten
principal seaports this year was
l,S45, with Il combined tonnage of
. ~ ,3l6. In 1922 the number was
1851 with a tonnage of 62577. The
ships cleared this year totaled 1880
with a tonnage of 9S,TS3, whereas last
year 1857 with tonnage of 1864
cleared.
The carrying trade of imports by
nationality of vessels for the flsca!
year shows the United States far out
stripping all others, with more than
80 percent Of the whole.
The total collections from al
sources by the receiver general for
the fiscal year, including the balance
of $l,4Gi,360 carried over from the
preceding fiscal period, amounted to
$9,022, 1898. Total expenditures anc
disbursements amounted to $6,392,

Not moro than 900 men participat-

iitrepidity that they effected a land

scaled the walls without other COW

two small pieces of artillery.
Yang had held possession Of the
city for several months, though his
line of communication on the Yang

plies shut Off. Living conditions
within the town were terrible. There
was barely enough rice to keep life

there was had reached a price four
times that normally charged. Peo-
rle without funds and even some who
had money. were near the point OF
death at the time of,the attack.
Chungking is built on hill and its
walls proper are little more than plat
forms on which the defenders may
stand and be sheltered by parapets

MEASURES TO
'SAVEF0RESTS

Ely, Mimi, Feb. .2S.-Another in
formal agreement between the United
States and Canada has been added
to the list of such treaties with
the conclusions of a conference here
between Forester William Darby of
the Canadian forest service and Su-
pervisor Calvin Dahlgren Of the
Superior National forest, which is
under the jurisdiction of the United
States forest service. -.
The agreement has to do with ad-
ditional cooperation in protecting
from forest fires thousands Of acres
of beautiful woods and lake country
adjoining the boundary line. 1t has
been arranged to have new steel
lookout tower which is to be erected
on the high bluff on Shortiss Island
in the boundary waters, connected
by telephone with the Superior Ma
tional forest Lac La Croix ranger
station. The Lac La Croix post al
ready has direct telephone connec-
tions with the local forestry head
quarters.
The new Shortiss Island tower,
which will be erected by the Cana
dian service in the spring, will over
look long stretches of forests on
both sides of the boundary and will
reach a section heretofore with out
tower protection.
