The mummy, however, was found

BABCOCK BACK FROM
ARGENTINE CONGRESS
Minnesota Highway Commission
er More Firmly Convinced Of
Good Roads Value and U. S.
Road Aid Need.

Charles M. Babcock, Minnesota
highway commissioner, returned
this week from South America
more firmly convinced than ever
that good roads are essential to
economy and prosperity and fur
ther of the necessity for govern
mental cooperation and financial
aid for highway construction in
the United States.
II defy any politician, who
might have seen what the United
States delegates saw in South
America, to continue to oppose
government cooperation in road
development" Mr.. Babcock said.
There are millions of acres of
land in Brazil that will produce
enormous crops, but there are no
facilities for moving these crops
to market. Under those condi-
|'tions you can get this land for
about 81 an acre. But with road
construction, the price would in
crease a hundred fold"
Commissioner Babcock was Sc
lected as a delegate to the Pan
American Road Congress in Bue-
nos Aires because of his intimate
knowledge of highway financing,
according to Washington dis
patches. He delivered one of the
principal addresses before the
congress, on "The Financing of
Road Construction in the United
States.X
During two months of travel,
the United States delegates COW
cred more than Is, 900 miles, max
ing highway inspection tours of
Panama, Peru, Chile, Argentina,
Uruguay and Brazil. Congress
made an appropriation to pay the
expenses of the representatives.
In Brazil there are no adequate
highways and although the soil is
fertile production is at a minimum
and crops are hauled to market
| in carts with wooden wheels,
drawn by poor horses.
Il am glad to be home again
and prouder than ever to be a CT
tizen of the United States and
particularly of grand old Mime
sota," said Mr.. Babcock.

At Thanksgiving and Christmas He Is
King of Birds.
veyors of the aristocratic houses Of
London found them, bought them,
tried them, and then wanted more.
London tradesmen were asked the
name of the fowl, and, because every
those asking for the information were
told that they came from Turkey, and
they were known for many years in
the London markets as those Turkey
BIRDS" This is one Of many tales
told to account for the strange nam
ing of the American bird, and is prob
ably as good as any. The turkey has
been domesticated, as far as it Is pos
sible, and long ago became a large
factor in domestic commerce.
Once Turkey State.
Rhode Island for many years held
chief prominence as the turkey-raising
state.
Now Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, Ne
braska and Kentucky dispute suprem-
acy and literally send millions of these
birds annually to market to be con-
sumed largely at Thanksgiving and
Christmas feasts.
The scientific name given the tur-
key is Meleagridae. Meleager, in an
ancient Greek legend, was leader Of
the CALIFORNIAN hunt, who saved the
beautiful Princess ATLANTA from the
savage attack of wild boar, and
thereby gained fame. This scientific
name seems just about as applicable

to the great American bird as turkey,
but 1t has the approval Of science, and
that Is enough. Three varieties made
up the original stock Of wild turkeys
on this continent. They were the gal
lopavo Of New England and the
greater part of North America. the
ocellata Of Honduras and the mexi-
cana of Mexico. A fourth variety is
supposed to have inhabited the West
India islands, from which the birds
taken to Spain by Columbus were OBJ
tanned. From these, in the course of
400 years, six varieties have been
evolved, known as the bronze. Nara
gansett, buff, slate, white and black.
The white and black birds are
freaks" from the three original spe-
cies.
The turkey has never been more
than half domesticated. 1t is still es-
sentially a wild bird. 1t roams the
fields in flocks, feeds upon insects and
stray grains during the late summer
and fall months and only seeks the
shelter of the barnyard when the food
supply fails. Young turkeys seem to
distrust man and all his works, and
each generation of turkeys has to be
tanned. The birds do become quite
docile under careful management, but
the hen turkey forever seeks the wild
in which to steal her nest and rear her
young. Testimony is not lacking that
it costs less to raise turkey than
any other fowl, and to the ultimate
consumer in the Thanksgiving and
Christmas period they cost more than
any other fowl, so that somebody
makes a good profit on the annual
product.
One of the Oldest Birds.
The turkey is doubtless one Of the
oldest birds in America and always
occupied an important place in the
domestic life of the Indians. The Pill
grims at Plymouth learned the value
of the turkey from the Massasoit In
dams. Columbus found it in the West
Indies. Cortez was Toasted upon tur-
key in Mexico and Peru. The Maya
people embodied the turkey in their
oldest hieroglyphics and the scientists
of the Smithsonian, delving among the
ruins of Arizona, found mummiied
turkey, and the remains of nearly all
the cliff and cave jewellers in the
Southwest give up the bones of the
turkey. 1t was a staple food among
the red men from the earliest times,
as it has come to be in civilized lands
around the globe.
Benjamin Franklin desired to make
the turkey the national bird, but was
outvoted by others. who seemed to
find a truer connection between the
bald eagle and the indomitable spirit
of the American republic. 1t may be
the screaming eagle better suits the
ways of war and poets dreams, but
the turkey occupies a specially warm
place in the affections of the Ameri-
can people. At Thanksgiving and
Christmas time he Is king of birds.

giving day festivities places it upon
the highest pinnacle of fame. The
few specimens taken back to Spain by
Christopher Columbus aroused the
greatest curiosity and interest in that
country, and subsequent imports Of
the bird within fifty years stirred Eu-
rope to its center The turkey-pavo
or peacock in Spain, dindon in France,
trutkahn in Germany, and kalkun in
Scandinavian countries-was found by
millions in the forests Of North Amer
lea, Central America and Mexico when
the white men came to the western
shores.
The name given to the turkey Is
little obscure, but it seems to have
arisen in London from an almost triv-
ial circumstance. 1t appears that
about the time Of the birth of Queen
Elizabeth hardy navigator brought
a consignment Of these birds from
America to the London market. Pur-
