Old Indian Cemetery
Found in California

An ancient Indian graveyard, be-
lieved to antedate the California
mission period, was discovered re-
Gently near Purissima mission in
the Santa Ynez valley near here,
by Don Meadows and Ray Gruwell,
Orange, CAL, research workers. A
number of prehistoric specimens, in
Guiding several Indian skeletons,
skulls, beads and arrowheads were
obtained, says an Associated Press
dispatch from Santa Barbara.
The burial plot, once the sFhappy
hunting grounds" of the bronzed
warrior of the West, was situated
in the center of what was a large
bean patch, which, up to the time
of the discovery, completely obliter-
ated all trace of the important find.
According to Meadows, they dug
through three different layers Of
graves, each from three to four feet
in depth. It is possible. that there
are other graves below, he. said.
The braves were buried in sit
ting posture with the knees crooked
beneath the chin. Of forty skele-
tons which were unearthed, every
one was found facing the west-to-
ward the setting sun.
Above each grave, as a sort of
partition between it and the one
above, was found a limestone slab,
several inches thick.

The Greatest Geyser

By all means the greatest geyser
known is in New Zealand, called
Waimangu, which has been known
to throw black water, stones and
mud to a distance Of 1900 feet in
the air. This eruption takes place
with more or less regularity every
SO hours, but its schedule is sub
ject to variations and it sometimes
starts off Unexpectedly with terrible
ferceness SO that visitors to the spot
must keep at very respectful dis
lance or they may be caught in the
great flow which issues from the
vent. The lives of two girls and a
guide were sacrificed because of
their defying the advice that had
been given them and they were all
swept into the hole, where their
bodies were afterward found ter
ribly burned by the. hot material
which was thrown up by the geyser.

consent of intellectual minds nor by
the doctors of the church, but rather
through the work Of Near East Relief.
That work has won the hearts OF
great bishops as well as refugees and
politicians Truly we have seen the
truth of the saying that little child
shall lead them The little Armenian
orphan, Zadi, whom thousands have
heard sing and talk at the preliminary
Golden Rule dinners in hundred
cities of this country, is five-year-old
representation of thousands of these
Eastern peoples, whom we have ap-
preached not with theology or dogma,
but with those deeds of mercy which
are the very essence of true religion.
There is a lesson of world peace in
this philanthropic approach to the
hearts of men, We must follow it UP
with this decision-that we will not
allow the state in the future to dictate
to the church or to any body Of men
as to what shall be their attitude to-
ward peace and war We must take
our patriotism from the preaching OF
the prophets. Unless we want fund
like this every fifty years to repair the
recurrent waves of slaughter and
devastation, we must cling to the
spirit o. he Golden Rule. The quality
of NERD Is. not strained. 1t droppeth
as the utle rain from heaven. 1t
blesseth him that gives and him tina;
takes. It becomes the throned mon
arch better than his crown.

= cepts it. Most people try to
practice it.
Golden Rule Sunday Is examination
day-a day of plain living and high
thinking: of self-measurement by the
Golden Rule to see how big we really
are.
Golden Rule Sunday comes midway
between the feasts of Thanksgiving
and Christmas.
On Thanksgiving Day we satisfy
ourselves with good things. We sur
vey our broad acres, bullying gran
aries, and busy factories. We re-
appraise our unprecedented and soar
ing wealth OF. more than three hun
dred billion dollars, far transcending
anything previously or elsewhere
known in all the world. Not least are
we thankful for government under
which life and property are safe.
Truly no people ever had as great
reason for gratitude as have we In
America on Thanksgiving Day. 1925.
At Christmas we again indulge in
feasting and mirth. and share some
Of our iuxuries with relatives and
friends, some of whom are sore per-
picked to know where to store the
gifts that we pour into their well pro-
vided homes.
But on Golden Rule Sunday we ex-
press our gratitude and practice
"pure religion undefiled before God"
in more vital way by considering
"the fatherless and widows in their
affliction" who, as worthy as we, by
the vicissitudes of war, are bereft of
everything. They have no lands, no
granaries, no bank accounts, no saw
ings, no employment, no homes, no
food, except as the Golden Rule
proves vital reality in their lives.

Paris-The floods in eastern France
are assuming almost the proportions
of disaster. The River Doubs and
its tributaries are far out of their
banks and have converted the plain OF
Mont Beliand into vast lake. The
inhabitants Of several Of the villages
had to decamp hurriedly. Many
farms are isolated and the Dresse
plain, famous throughout France for
its chicken. is under water.
The Saone is rising and the fields
are flooded all around Chalons, while
the lower parts of Chagny are mum

to have reached the maximum, 1t has

Floods are also beginning to appear
in the Chateux country in the depart
ment of Cher. The Seine and its trib-

Tragedy and Comedy
Oddly Mixed on Stage

A symbol Of the Spartan spirit OF
vaudeville is exemplifed by Ben
WEIGH, who has for years portrayed
those serio-comic bits of Hebrew
life.
Several years ago he was playing
in q revue with Frances White in
Washington. He was handed a pa
per, reached for it but il, futtered
to the floor.
'Don't reach for 1.-THE whis-
pered. II am blind. Go on as though
nothing had happened"
The audience laughed and he
turned fitting joke. In flash Ben
Welch had entered the long black
night.
He went on from city to city,
continuing during the run of the
show.
Blindness was the beginning of
an illness that today has left him
totally .paralyzed, but he has not
faltered. Stage-hands carry him out
to a bench in front of a park back
drop. The curtain goes up and
there is WEIGH, sightless and help
less, making people laugh and some
times cry.
This is more often than not in
vaudeville. Tragedy wearing the

Undesirable Immigrant

One class Of immigrants that our
laws have not been able to keep out
is the Flemish flies that come over
from Antwerp every summer. The
insects, which have long and
curious history, bite as if they were
a cross between a yellow jacket and
the big black-and-white wasps that
the Vermont farmers call "Hol-
stems" They are said to have
reached Antwerp more than three
hundred and fifty years ago, on
Spanish ships that came from Cen
trail America. Fortunately they
seem not to breed here, but either
die out or return on the vessels that
bring them.-Youth's Companion.
