decalogue of the nations commercial

The statement, designed to be of
universal application, epitomizes
laws of moral integrity which are
regarded as the foundation of all
successful business enterprise. Gen
eral sessions of the convention begin
tomorrow.
American business standards not
only condemn practices of undue in
fiuences in the securing of trade, but
condemn as we'll any thing which

of government and industry" said
Julius II. Barnes of Duluth, Mimi,
president of the chamber, in outlin-

the organization to frame the code
of ethics. The statement was sub

With the penetration Of the Pueblo

lnterest-an interest being augmented
with the sending of National Geo

Bonito to other explorations, DR.. Judd
says:
There is a bare possibility that
some cultural connection will be
found between the former inhabitants
of Pueblo Bonito and the Maya
ancient temple builders of Yucatan
and Guatemala. There absolutely is
no chance of tracing any relationship D
between our prehistoric southwestern
tribes and those of the old world.
Tut -ankh- Amen and his fellow
Egyptians represent a high stage Of
cultural development along the desert
borders of the Nile; the ancient
Ponitans surpassed all their CO.
temporaries in the desert regions of
our Southwest, but the prehistoric
peoples of America and Egypt had
nothing in common"

to him by Mayor kcndrick, which, it

upon learning that Gen. Butler was
suffering from a heavy cold, which
was described by DIR. Hubley r. Owen,
chief police surgeon, who is attend

Mayor kendrick said his communi-
cation would be delivered to the di-
rector personally when he returned
o his office. He declined to divulge
its contents or to deny or confirm re-
ports that it would demand Director
Buffers resignation.
Close friends of Gen. Butler eX-
pressed the belief that he would dis
regard his physicians Instructions
and go to his Office today and this
belief was strengthened by the gen
eral himself. IF the doctor lets me

last night. Il will be at my office to-
morrow. In fact | think I'll go down

rector has accused of having attempt
