Investigation Started

Investigation of disappearance OF
$50 cases of the liquor was started
under Wards directions about three
weeks ago on orders of Attorney
General John G. Sargent. The in
vestigation is in the hands Of the
Department of Justice Bureau Of In
vestigation.
Ward said there was no hindrance
in the investigation and that it was
continuing without delay.
He said the best way he could
serve Watson, who appointed him,
was to manage the office in a bust
ness-like and direct manner.
A report on the highway commits
Aon centering around more than
"a 900 900 worth of surplus war ma
terials was sent to Washington by
Ward. He has refused to make it
public until orders are received from
Washington.
The Federal investigation hinges
on a report OF the State board Of ac-
counts charging the highway com
mission with disposing of the surplus
war material to a group Of local junk
dealers for slightly less than the
freight charges.

Origin of Eskin,os

DR.. 81. Rink, who made life study
pf Greenland and its people and Is
The greatest authority on them, held
that most Eskimo weapons and nipple
nents are Of American origin. He
advanced the theory that even though
The Eskimos originally may have come
from Asia, they developed as a race
q the interior Of Alaska, whence they
finally migrated northward and spread
but along the coast Of the ice sea. He
taid that their speech is closely con-
aected with the primitive dialects of
America, while their legends and GUS
toms resemble, or at least suggest,
those Of the Indians.

EXPLORERS REPORT
ANOTHER OLD RACE
Lived Thousands of Years
Ago, in Nile Valley.

Relics of a people who lived In the
valley of the Nile about fourteen thou
sand years ago are on view at Univer-
sity college, London.
They were found by workers con-
nected with the British School OF
Archaeology in Egypt during recent ex-
cavations at Badari and in the Fayum,
and include beads and ivory spoons,
pottery which is finer than any made
today, combs and even dolls.
Miss Cation Thompson worked at
first in the Fayum district, an arid
area where water had to be taken to
her 10 miles by motor car, over land
which the most ardent workers had
hitherto thought to be impossible for
cars.
The workers say it is quite impos-
sible to give complete picture of the
lives led by these people. ave have
only found traces of them in one part
of Egypt, and we can say that there
was large settlement of them, prob
ably as big as an Arab village Of mod
ern times.
I'VE think there were people Of i'm
portance and people Of lesser impor
lance. We found no linen in the graves
of the less important people. They
were wrapped in a leather garment,
and all the bodies were finally
wrapped in quantities Of mating.
"The Nile valley was at that time
covered with swamps on which wild
reeds grew. We found the remains
of tremendous lot of mating made
from these wild reeds.
"These people were apparently prin-
cipally occupied as hunters, but they
had emerged into the agricultural
stage. They grew corn and made
bread, and put both into the tombs Of
their dead.
"They could make linen, but only
small pieces about the size of pocket
handkerchief have been found. No
traces Of writing have been found, and
so we can say nothing of their social
organization.
In the TOMB or man OF the period
many interesting things were found.
Round his waist he had worn strings
Of beads made from glazed stones,
over belt made from the fur of some
eatlike animal.
"There was a little fold Of linen.
which pointed to his having been
person of importance. An enormous
bead Of alabaster had been strung
round his neck. Above the elbow of
his left arm he wore a string Of little
shells, Of a kind which are still found
on the shores Of the Red sea.
Buried with him were his finely
worked, saw-edged flint knife, and a
few of the bone avis and needles
which were used for leather work."

Neuu Value to Alder

Alder, which is much used as q
wood in making furniture in those
sections where it grows on a com
mercial scale, may have another value
far exceeding that for furniture. II
Is now believed that the little nodules
or bumps" on the roots Of alder have
nitrogen fixation properties. The Ger
man chemists have been working or
that theory. and American universities
have been attempting to prove it with
some degree of success. If it is true
the alder having the ability to take
nitrogen direct from the air would be
great soil builder.

Women in u. S. Treasury

The assistant treasurer of the Unit
ed States informs US that in the spring
of 1852 Mr.. F. e. Spinner, treasurer
Of the United States, prevailed upon
Secretary Chase to permit him to ap-
point a woman to cut and trim United
States currency. This work was then
done with shears in the hands of men,
He appointed Miss Jennie Douglas,
and, as he afterward expressed it,
cher first days work settled the mat
ter in her and in wOman's favor" On
October 9, 1862, the following woman
employees were appointed: Miss Fan
ME L. Halstead, Miss Annie York,
Miss Belle S. Tracy. Miss Elizabeth
Stoner and Miss Mary Burke. These
women were the first for whom con-
gress regularly made an appropria-

Memphis, Tenn, May 13.-The

promises to become a pitched battle

place here last Wednesday night on

Paper STORAGE

The Technical Association Of the
Pulp and Paper Industry says that it
is its opinion that paper in bulk can
be stored any length Of time without
danger of spontaneous combustion.
This would be borne out In the expe-
rience of fire insurance companies as
well as paper dealers. If, however,
the paper is Of kind that has been
treated with oil and the storage ware
house were heated, there might be
some danger Of spontaneous combus-
ton.

Mail Order Houses
to Merge, Report

BJ United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The two
largest mail order houses in the
country, Montgomery-Ward & Co.,
and Sears-R -Roebuck & Co.. plan to
consolidate, according to Lasalle
Street information. The consolida-
ton would have combined aggre-
gate of assets that would exceed
1896, 900, 900.
The merger. according to the re-
ports, originated among the larger
stockholders of the two companies
and has reached a stage where gov.
ernmental approval of the combina'
ton will be asked.
The tentative plan, according to
information received, Is the forma-
tion of a new company to absorb the
present companies and an exchange
of stock of the new concern for that
OF the two old companies.
It was estimated that the merger
would effect saving of $4,000, 900
to $15,000,000 yearly in operating
expenses. The outlay of both houses
for catalogues alone now runs be-
tween $15,000,0O0 and 10000, 900
and about one third this could be
saved, according to the information.

There were few takers from the

Interest was lively here, due to the
fact that the Queen is scheduled to

Almost Immediately after word
was received that King Ferdinand
