FIND SECOND OLD CITY IN NEVADA
Ancient Remains Uncovered May
 Rival Pueblo Grande

Tonopah. Nev. Feb. 6.-Another prehistoric city was found recently 30 miles east of Beatty, at the head of Forty Mile Canyon. The discov- erers, Judge w. B. Gray, and W. E. Bond, of Beatty, have been mvesti- gating their find for two months, and they say it promises to rival in ar chaeological importance Pueblo Grande, Nevada, the ancient city found recently In the Valley of Fire. A considerable quantity of pottery has been uncovered, and it is said to be unlike anything hitherto found on the American continent. AS soon as weather conditions permit, further excavations will be undertaken by w. M. Harrington. representing the Heye Foundation of American In dian research and the Smithsonian institution.
 Mir. Harrington at present is su- perintending excavation at the Pueb- To Grande Nevada, where almost every day he is finding evidence that convinces him this city existed some 1000 years ago and was occupied for a thousand years before 1t was abandoned for some unknown cause. He has uncovered IS tombs, con- taining vessels, decorated in tur- ouoise and pearl shell cut into small beads. The length of this city of antiquity has been established at six miles.
 r. w. Hodge, curator of the Heye foundation, has recommended an ap- propriation ample to excayate the entire city. It is estimated the work will cost around S100.000.

Stabilizing of German Market Un-
 leashes Hoards of Money

Berlin, Feb. 6. American cur rency went back to the mother country at a record rate in 1924. During the imitation period Ameri- can bank notes and silver certifl- cates and all sorts of other American paper money were hoarded. Friends and relatives remitted money to Germany in the form of bills and it was tucked away for a rainy day. While the German paper money was

fluctuating so wildly nobody wanted

fluctuating so wildly nobody wanted to hold it. Consequently all sorts of foreign stable money was in great demand and American money was the first choice as it fluctuated less even than English pounds.
 Now that the rentenmark has been fairly firm for nearly a year and Germans have general -confi- dence in 1t, they are letting go of their foreign money at rapid rate. Germans who hoarded foreign gold or silver are out of luck, as the ex- change rate on 1t is extremely bad. Nobody wants hard money and the quotations on foreign gold coins in small sums Is often 20 per cent be-. low the official rate for paper money. Foreign silver is an absolute drag on the money market. Small money changers who will accept it often shave it 40 per cent.

Little Stories of
 The Old World
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer


 London, Feb. 6. - Here's fun ny story concerning the present king of England.
 When George was kid attend ing school he often got broke just like other kids.
 And like some of them, having a rich grandma, he wrote to her and stated the disaster to his purse.
 But this youngsters grandma happened to be old Queen Victoria, who was a notorious tightwad. All her very hopeful and expectant grandson got in reply was a long and eloquent sermon upon the vir- tues of thrift and economy, ending up with the pious hope that when he wrote his next dutiful letter he would be able to make a better financial showing.
 Tn due course young George wrote.
 He informed grandma he was quite in funds. He had sold her let ter to a collector of photographs!

BEAUTY CHATS
Eyeglasses.

Once I knew the percentage OF
women who wore eyeglasses all the
time. I've forgotten now. but any
way, II doesn't matter The point is
that people believe eyeglasses make
a woman look older and palmer:
therefore. every woman is concerned
to find the sort of glasses that Will
make her less old and less plain.
It's odd how eyeglasses lend an air
OF cha racter. Only Americans wear
the tortoise-sheil rim kind; abroad,
you can spot an American anywhere
on the streets because of them. On
the English and French stages every
American character is played wear
ing tortoise-shell rims, which go
oddly with the continental imitation
of nasal American or American-pro
nounced French. The appearance of
the tortoise she'll rims is enough TO
start a laugh.
I wonder why. Tortoise shell
rims, for some reason, are the most
becoming type of eyeglasses. They
will let a young girl still look like
a young girl. whereas, old rims or
rimless glasses would make her seem
a school teacher, or a mature woman.
They add character and decision to

RADCLIFFE
ATIoN-Radcliffe.
RACIAL oRIGiN-EngIIsh,
SOURCE-A place name.

Family names which were in the
first place but the names of locali-
ties in which the original bearers
lived are not SO very difficult to
trace, for the names of places seem
to change less in their spelling than
the names of families, and, besides.
there is always a wealth of historical
data in connection with place nam es
which is SO often lacking in the case
of family names and which makes II
easy to identify the ancient forms of
place names.
Thus, you need only a good atlas
to come to the conclusion that the
family name of Radcliff is the same
as that OF Radcliffe, a place in Lam
cashire, England. OF course, the
original form of the family name was
preceded by de" (meaning "of'') and
Indicating that the person referred
TO had come from or formerly lived
in that place.
In the case of Radcliffe the mean
ing of the place name is not hard
to ascertain, either, though it is not
quite apparent at first, owing to the
change of single vowel. Spell it
"Radcliff'' and you have it.
