BUILDING JOB HALTED
WHEN TRUCK is STUCK
Pavement Gives Way Under Load
of Bricks and Driver Turns
Into Miner.

Travelling precariously over Wash
ington's rough-and-ready streets, a
truck owned by James Wood, a con-
tractor, found the end of it's journey
early yesterday afternoon and there
by held up construction work on q
building to which it was hauling a
load of brick
Shut off from r street northeast on
which the street railway company is
making repairs, James Washington,
driver of the truck, elected to take
Randolph street instead His deci-
sion resulted in q load of sorrow for
him, in addition to the 5000 brick he
carried on the fve-ton truck, for
hurly James was there at late hour
last night trying to dig out of the
middle of the street the big truck
which had crushed it's way straight
through the pavement and become
mired exactly in the middle of the
street
The vehicle had trouble making
the grade up Randolph street be-
tween Second and Third, leaping from
pinnacle to pinnacle of the rough
pavement, until finally il hit the bot
tom of particularly deep hole. and
there it stayed. Down and down it
went, crushing through the f1imsy
coating of asphalt over the dirt of the
street until the differential rested on
the asphalt. And there 1t stayed until
late last night, while Washington,
satisfied he had made the wrong de-
cision, worked feverishly to dig his
truck out of the trench.
He called all the jacks in the neigh
borhood to his aid. They raised the
heavy truck, but didn't move it.
Finally he unloaded the brick and
with the aid of another truck got
himself out of the hole.

Fall From Exhaustion.

Squaws and young braves joined the
dance with the tribesmen-many OF
them from Mexico and the others
from various parts of Arizona.
The dance, observed annually by
the Yaquis. is a picturesque mingling
of pagan and Christian rites, por-
traying the passion of Christ in an
Indian version. Christ's betrayal
the trial before PLATE and the road
TO Calvary all are pictured In the
dance, according to the Yaqui version.
With these ceremonies is mingled the
customs of their pagan fathers. which
have been carried out for more than
800 years.
Cameras Are Barred.
Many visitors will watch the dance
for the whites are not barred The
odd belief of the Indians against
picture taking, however, still persists
and cameramen. as uaual, will not be

Visby, Sweden, on Island
PeopIed in Stone Age,
Celebrates in July.

Visby, Sweden. which is planning
TO celebrate the Tooth anniversary of
its founding next July, is conserva-
tive in its claim to its age, says
bulletin from the Washington head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society.
"Gottland Island. of which Visby is
the principal city, was peopled in the
Stone Age, possibly men were there
when the Baltic still was a fresh
water lake. Coins OF Arabia, Rome
and the Anglo Saxons betoken it's

still was primitive. Culturally, If
not politically, the island was the
Rhodes, or Crete, of the Baltic.

"Visby clings to terraces of natural

wall, more than a mile long. with SO
towers intact From them one gazes
over the vast expanse of the Baltic
and conjureS visions of the old Vik-
ings, pyramid builders of the North,
and their spectacular funerals when
their dead were given up to the re-
morseless elements of fire and the
sea.
Simple faith in the ancient Morse
legends survives among the island
ers. 1t seems like sacrilege to ques-
tton that Thjelvar, the first settler.
found land which was submerged
by day and habitabIe only by night.
Thjelvar drove out the trolls, or evil
spirits, who protected their dwelling

PIundcred by Valdemar.
Then Valdemar of Denmark cast
covetous eye on all this wealth and
in 1861, plundered the city. The
islanders have it that VaIdemar's
hooty-laden ships met a heavy storm
not far off their coast, and the con-
queror narrowly escaped with his
life. There had been set in the walls
OF St Nicholas Church two carbun-
cles which glowed so radiantly by
night that they were beacons to
mariners. They went down with
other treasure yet, such was their
brightness, that they still cast a
peculiar light over the smooth waters
OF ViSby Harbor.
I'm plain fact, Eisby never recov-
cred from Valdemar's conquest. For
the next century or so it was the
trysting place of sea rovers and pi-
rates. Hanseatic privateers known as
the 'Nictuals Brothers made it their
base of operations, then the Teutonic
knights drove them out. Many years
later Olaf and Ivar Thott, the Capt.
kidds of the Northern seas, made
their stronghold there.

Mariners and cattle fanciers know
Gottland by name. The Gottland sea
laws formed one of the earliest codes
of the sea, and Gottland ponies and
sheep are held in high esteem.
while the interior island lacks the
lure of scenery, its churches attract
visitors who love mellow beauty. In
Visby are churches dating from the
eleventh and twelfth centuries, which
preserve practically every architectu-
raj form of that period. Through the
countryside are village churches,
mostly of the thirteenth century,
whose architecture is so beautiful and
original that they, too, have memori-
allied the islands name in their spe-
cial designation, the Gottland style.
The massive towers of these churches
frequently are detached, and in some
of the churches are fine specimens of
stained glass.
Marriage With Aliens Forbidden
Like isolated island people the
world over, the Gottlanders are noted
for their Independence. Centuries aft
er they were restored to Sweden they
held to the form of paying a nominal
annual tribute with the declaration
that they did SO by their own con-
sent. As early as the thirteenth CEN
tury the island had its own popular
assembly and Sweden was not per-
mitted to veto the enactments of this
body. During the days of its Hanse
attic prosperity intermarriage of Gott-
landers with aliens was prohibited.

MUSIC

The Interstate Male Chorus, under
Clyde B. Aitchison. valiantly held
forth in the third concert of it's fifth
sea son at the Masonic Auditorium last
night before a large audience. Dainty
and charming Helen HowiSon, lyric So
prano. was the assisting artist, with
George Wilson as accompanist and
Myrtle Irene Seidler at the organ for
most of the club members.
The chorus has many fine voices and
good volume, also apparent ability t.
shade tones well. The rhythm was
ragged in many numbers, however, and
the enunciation was so muff1ed that
only a word now and then reached the
back part of the house, with the eX-
ception of the "Wynken, Blynken anG
Nod" number, which was one of the
best of the evening and was repeated.
In this Miss Howison's voice in the
obbligato was delightfully."- set off by
the male voices, and the choral parts
were especially we'll done. The only
criticism would be that the number
was taken a bit too seriously, and its
Interpretation lacked that light, legato
treatment that is essential in works
based on fantastic themes. Another
repeated number was Wilson's Car
mena."
Miss Howison is particularly happy
in the type of ballad that she chose
for her group and her two encores.
They included Munro's MY Lovely
Celia" Pierne's lie Moulin" Samuels
Bells of Seville" D'Erlanger's
"Chanson Legere" and Shaw's The
Heffie Cuckoo Fair" She also gave
the waltz song from Gounod's Romeo
and Juliet" with much artistry, but
her voice is a bit light for this mum
ber, and her cadenzas were a trif1e un-
certain.
