this phase of the mode In creating
blouses of formal character and those

Wonderful Necklace Found.

The outstanding find that has re-
warded the tedious, ingenious work OF
DR.. Neil M. Judd, the leader Of the
exposition, Is a beautiful turquoise
necklace of $500 graduated beads and
four superb pendants-the only COM
plete specimen of such a necklace
known. The cunning skill of the pueb-
10 dwellers in grinding down each tiny
piece and piercing 1t for stringing,
challenges the admiration of modern
jewellers.
From the data gathered SO far by the
work at Pueblo Bonito, Doctor Judd
feels that it has been demonstrated
that the culture of the ancient Amer
leans had been wholly developed In
America--that these were in truth "lOO
per cent Americans"
"There absolutely is no chance OF
tracing any relationship between our
country's prehistoric tribes and those
of the Old World" he says. 'Tutankh-
amen and his fellow Egyptians rep
resent high stage of cultural develop
ment along the desert borders OF the
Nile. The ancient Bonitians surpassed
all their contemporaries in the desert
regions of our southwest America. but
the prehistoric peoples Of America and
Egypt had nothing in common"
The expedition at work in the valley
Of Mexico has peculiarly interesting
aspects. Some of the ruins were COW
cred by an ancient flow of volcanic
lava which has helped to preserve the
work of the old builders. The scene
OF the work Is Cuicuilco, south OF

400 feet thick and more than 80 feet
