DelUe Into Secrets
of Mound Builders

Secrets of the prehistoric race of
mound builders, whose culture is de-
clared TO be distinct from that of any
other type hitherto investigated in
Oklahoma, will be plumbed by an
archaeological expedition to Grove, Del
aware county.
The contents of the mound can
only be conjectured, but an indica-
ton of what might be found in the
cave was given in the discovery of
remnants of prehistoric life in an out
er chamber that has been explored.
The mouth of the cave apparently
was sealed after its abandonment
many centuries ago. 1t was reopened
and a large deposit of wood ashes,
charcoal, bones of game animals, mus
sci shells and other kitchen refuse
was found on the floor near the en-
trance. An extensive collection of
bone and flint implements also was
discovered, together with many frag-
ments of pottery-Detroit News.

he was sent down to Tours with the
French, where he handled all ship
ments out of that city. He was dis
charged in Wyoming in July, 1919.
| He became assistant chemist with
an oil company for about a year. In
the interval he married Miss Helen Nj.
Fry, former schoolmate at the Uni
versity of Denver. She was of a fam
lily of teachers and Cross thoughts
turned to that profession. He went in
for more schooling economics, soci-
ology and political science-and then
became superintendent of a CONSOLE
dated school. In 1923 he became head
of the department of economics at the
Colorado School of Mines.
| He also became a lecturer at the
Denver opportunity school," That
was a turning point for him, the thing
which led directly to his appointment
as director of the Americanism COM
mission. He gave lectures of advice,
inspiration, information. He touched
on anything which would be generally
helpful to the foreign-born seeking to
become American citizens and to play
their part as such. He had two
thoughts in mind. One was to give
all the information necessary to pass
the naturalization examination. The
other was to give them an understand
ing and appreciation of America, Of
what the country stands for, of its
history, its institutions, its customs, its
ideals. its aspirations-and to inspire
them to live good American citizens.
"Just better citizenship" is the way
he sums it up.
Helping to make out the questions
for teacher examinations in the Colo
RADIO schools, the new director found
out that many Of the teachers, espe-
cially in outlying districts. knew "less
than a kid ought to know" about the
fundamentals of Americanism. So he
organized an Americanism section In
the State Education association. He
also formed the Allied Council for
Americanism Committees, embracing
the various patriotic societies of the

Frogs Got Lonesome

Texas man started a frog farm

Six Tablets Give Their a.
O0O-Year-Old Story.

adelphia.-Man in his early
stages propelled himself along the
ground with all four limbs, late grass
with his mouth, like a sheep" and
drank from the bitches, according to
translation of six Sumerian tablets
written about 1000 B. G.
A story of the early history of the
human race has been pieced together
by Dr. Edward Chiera, assistant pro-
fessor of Assyriology at the University
of Pennsylvania.
The presence of the six tablets bear
ing different copies of the same text
proves that the story they tell was
considered quite important by the an
cient Sumerians, according TO Doctor
Chiera, who believes that wide diff
ference of opinion regarding the origin
of mankind existed as early as 1000
years ago.

Proof That Catbird
Is Able to Reason

The catbird is an ingen ious reason
ing creature. SO says Mrs Ernest A.
Austin of Worcester, and tells this
tale. She began to place bread out on
the grass on the chance that birds
would like it. A pair of catoirds
showed their appreciation and regu-
larly came for their food. Then as an
experiment, she put out bread which
was exceptionally dry and hard. Find
ing it beyond their powers of masti-
cation, each catbird took piece in its
bill, flew to a nearby bird bath, and
perching on the rim dipped the NOR
sells in the water until they had soft
ened. Then flying to the ground they
laid the soddened bread on the grass
and devoured it hungrily.-Boston

LEADS IN MAKING
GOOD AMERICANS

Although Frank Clay Cross. new di-
rector of the national Americanism
commission of the American Legion,
has spent much of his life, as he says,
above the Clouds" far up the sides of
Colorado mountains just at the timber
line, he measures up to a family ira
dition of grasping the facts of life as
they are and fighting to mold them
into something better.
1t is the pioneer spirit, a spirit that
goes out into the wilderness and hews
from dense forests homes and cities
and states, spirit that conquers
plains and mountains and. the physical
side subdued, moves on to wrestle
nightly with the finer, the spiritual
things.
Frank Cross's family has been a
family of fighting pioneers for genera
tionS, always on the frontier of civili-
cation. His fOrebears came to Amer
lea before the Revolution. His great
grandfather was pioneer settler in
Marion county, Indiana, where ma
tional headquarters of the Legion is
located. The family trekked across
country with the covered wagon. From
Indiana they moved into Iowa when
that state was opening up. Then to
Kansas and to Colorado, while the buff
falo were still on the plains and Indian
bands roamed the country. 'In COM
ing to Indianapolis" he says, II am the
first of the tribe to back track and hit
the trail for the East"
He had laid precedent in some sort
for that, when he hit the trail for
overseas and the battlefelds of France
when there was work that needed
much to be done over there. Ances-
tors of his had fought in every one of
the nations wars. His entire family
his father, two brothers and himself
volunteered in II. A younger brother,
Charles, lost his life in France.
Frank Cross put in 10 months in
France. He was on detached service
with the British north of Calais, look
ing after American troops who came
