Now Pat is playing young romantic plumbers, aggressive cigar salesmen and amor ous chauffeurs-all leading parts, mind you. Sundry movie companies pay him as high as $1,200 weekly. Pat, begorra, has immortalized on celluloid the ''yulgarian." Pockets bulging with cigars, running in where gentlemen" hesitate to tread, Pats Irish luck and talent for the obvious is carrying him through the leading male role. opposite Laura La Plante in The Teaser.'

One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the temple was the fact that
original paintings executed upon the
columns by artists perhaps 1900
years ago are still plainly legible
and the many colors that the altar
itself was painted remain brilliant
and preserved today.
There are also evidences Of beauti-
full paintings both on the inner and
outer walls of the temple.
For Human Sacrifices.
Since it is generally accepted that
the Maya people offered human sac
rifices TO their gods in times of war
and drought, it Is not unlikely that
this altar was used for sacrificial
rites 1t was common for the Maya
people to hurl their most gifted
maidens into a deep sacrificial well as
gifts to the god of rain.
News of the newly discovered altar
was sent to the Office Of administra-
ton of the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington by DR.. Sylvanus G.. Nor
ley, in charge of the work in Middle
American archaeology.

of the Macfarland Junior High
School Thursday afternoon, when
eight Indians in full array visited
the school and danced and sang when
escorted to the auditorium platform.
The Indians had arrived from the
Middle West for the inauguration and
had been staying over. Their visit
to the school was arranged by one
of the instructors, a member Of the
Indian Bureau here.
Not only did the Indians give in
terpretations of their own life and
customs, but made earnest pleas to
the children to be patriotic and live
good, honest lives. The principal,
Driscoll II p. Stafford, presided.
The Indians belong to the Brule-
Sioux Tribe and came from the Rim
Ridge and Rosebud Reservations.
They were Spotted Tail, Clement

SUNNY ITALY CHILL CLINE
HOLY YEAR PILGRIMS SAY

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ROME, February 23.-While some
parts of the United States have been
experiencing a severe winter, holy
year pilgrims from America have
been enjoying one of the mildest and
sunniest winters Rome has had in re-
cent years. Nevertheless, some Amer
leans here have observed that they
found it easier to keep warm amid
American snow that in Italian sun
light.
The farther south I go, the harder
find the job of keeping warm" one
tourist observed recently. "At home
in Chicago the winters aren't exact
ly warm, but we dress for them and
heat our houses well. In fact, in
travelling through Europe, l found
similar conditions in all of the north
ern countries and my family and
myself had nothing to complain Of
But as soon as we arrived in southern
Europe, we discovered that we could
not get any heated quarters outside
of hotels.
'In principal southern Europe is
warm, and SO it is in the sunlight.
But in the houses we have to shiver
along as best we can"

ALTAR OF ANCIENT
MAyAS UNEARTHED
Painted by Artists Dead
1900 Years-In Temple
in YuCatan.

A multiple painted altar, supported
by more than 80 handsomely sculp-
tored human figures, upon which
ancient priests of the lost Maya
civilization once performed their
mysterious rites. has been unearthed
in Yucatan by the staff that is con-
Quoting archaeological excava tions in
Chichen liza for the Carnegie Insti-
tuition of Washington.
The altar had lain buried for un-
told centuries in a pyramid temple
in the heart of the destroyed city
that once was the gay capital of thu
astounding aboriginal civilization
that reared itself on this continent
about the time the western Roman
empire was falling to pieces in the
Old World.
It represents the most important
discovery made by the archeologists
since they resumed their excavations
at Chichen Itza, about the first OF
February, and despite it's age and
the destructive jungle that had
grown over it the altar was still in
an excellent state of preservation.
Like Pyramids of Egypt.
Beginning their work in the court
of the thousand columns, which was
partially unearthed last year the
scientists soon came upon the en-
trance to the pyramid temple and
imm ediately found evidences of i'm
portant relics left by the people
whose complete disintegration re-
mains the outstanding enigma of
early American history.
At the entrance to the temple,
strangely resembling the pyramids of
ancient Egypt in its architecture,
stood columns beautifully sculptured,
each representing a writhing rattle
snake. They were perfectly pre-
served, head and rattles both being
intact. Inside were 20 large columns,
also gorgeously carved.

DISTRICT AUTO GAIN
TOPS i. S. AVERAGE.
Motor Vehicles Here in 1924
Increase 1876 Per Cent,
as Compared With 1923.

The District experienced "A gain in
the number of licensed motor vehicles
during the year ended December 81,
greater than the average gain
throughout the country.
This was made known in statistics
just released by the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads of the Department of Agri-
culture, which showed thare were
17,5919S1 automobiles registered in
the United States then, which was a
net gain of 2,501.045 for the year, or
1916 per cent, which percentage of in
crease was exactly 2 per cent below
the net per cent gain in motor We
hicles registered in the Capital City.
These figures show that there were
SS,763 registered motor vehicles here
at the close of 1924, net gain of
1876 per cent. The number of regis
tered machines was greater than the
number in ten individual States and
the percentage of increase here was
greater than the gain in so individual
States.
One for Every 6.4 Persons.
This statement also shows that the
total number of motor vehicles in
the United States is large enough
TO furnish one motor vehicle for every
"a persons, one passenger car for
truck for every $50 persons.
The principal gain in motor vehicles
was in trucks. Passenger cars in
creased 14.7 in number throughout
the country, while trucks increased
at more than twice that rate, or 32.9
per cent, which is taken by the
Bureau Of Roads to indicate a great
development of the commercial use
of public highways.
The greatest increase in total regis
tration is shown in the South Atlantic
group of States, where the increase
was 21.5 per cent, while the minimum
is shown in the West north Central
group, amounting to 10 per cent.
Fees Total S225, ,492 900.
The total gross receipts from
license fees amounted to $225, 5,492, 900.
OF this amount S1S4,393,00O. or So per
cent is applicable to highway work
under the supervision of State high
way departments.
