The eight Industrial workers who
came from England to investigate
what the methods are that enable
the American workmen to enjoy a bet
ter standard of living than any other
working people in the world found
the answer to their problem in the
very first plant they entered. They
there saw men working 'aS the direc-
tors Of machinery instead of the slaves
of human muscle" Said a member of

after watching a man making molds

It has taken Europe many years to
realize the immense gain in production
that American industry has secured
through the use of electric power. but
she is now fully alive to the situation.

Network Spreads Out.
The first electric light and power
plants were naturally located in con-
gested districts. where a ready market
for their services was assured. Very
quickly each system spread TO the en-
treme limits of its community, but
until recent years power lines rarely
passed outside these limits because the
relatively small demands of thinly-
populated districts made the construc.
ton Of lines through them unprof-
table. Thus the full benefits of cleo
tricity were for the most part be-
slowed upon populous centers. there

When the work near the Maya viii
lage of Dzitas is finished, Yucatan will
offer to the Western world the great
est attraction in the silent memorial
of the genius of a vanished race. Inc
project itself synbolizes America s
highest idealism in rendering aid and
guidance to another nation not In a
position to undertake the work on
scale proportionate to it's magnitude.
Those who have witnessed what is be-
ing done at Chichen-ItZa must feel
grateful toward the Carnegie 1nsti-
tute, which is erecting monument
here that will never be permitted to
perish or fall into decay.
All comparisons are wanting unless
it be with "the grandeur that was
Rome" and the ''glory that was
Greece" In the case Of the Maya
ruins the task is enormously compli:
Gated by absence of a definite ground
plan or symmetrical conception OF the
several leading structures. They seem
to have been placed without a pur-
posive objective In their relation TO
each other. The MayaS also seem to
have had no clear conception Of
streets or Of roadways and avenues,
facilitating approach from one great
building to the other. Hence, each
structure, pyramid, temple or build
ing, stands out by itself.
Pyramid Colossal Pile.
The first ruin that meets the eyes
is the great pyramid, colossal pile
Of earth and masonry. with more than
a hundred steep steps, crowned by a
temple which is in course of being re-
stored. About the pyramid are other
structures, but these are overshadow-
ed by the Castillo. q vast building on
the crown of a sort Of pyramid or an
earth cone.
The effect Of the first view Of the
Castillo on the eye Is as though some
Scottish Rite temple had been bodily
transferred to the Maya jungle. Some
of the frescoes and carvings are we'll
preserved, and here and there are still
traces of ancient wall paintings in
bright colors. This structure is now
known as the Temple of the Warriors.
The height Of the structure is about
80 feet. It Is a dizzy height from
which to look down, but a scene of
grandeur. Structure after structure
comes into sight.
There is the Temple of the Tigress.
the Temple of the Tables, the Temple
of the Cones, and in the distance one
can see the impressive outlines of the
Round Tower or Carocol, and last. not
least, the group of buildings known
as the Casa do Minajas or the Palace
Nunnery. Between these are smaller
pyramids and buildings. many yet

FOch Holds Disarming
By Force to Be Futile

Obligatory disarmament, imposed
on peoples against their will WITHOUT
a "disarming Of the mind" as we'll, Is
an illusion, according to Marshal
Foch, In a recent interview. History,
he says, shows that people thus. dis
armed will always find a way to arm
again at the earliest opportunity.
Asked what weapons should pre-
dominate in a. modern army, he re-
piled: (Which is the most important
part of building? Foundations, ar
chitecture, style, material i all are
necessary. Nor would you say Of an
orchestra. hereafter there must be
only violins-no more trombones or
wood winds or drums. All instru.
ments are necessary in proper pro-
portions, pending the invention of still
others"
He considered the recent German
Russian agreement "redoubtable" and
calculated to complicate Germany's
entry into the League of Nations next
september.

1 made my way to the Round Tower,
a unique structure in the Maya coun-
try. 1t contains a spiral stairway now
partly in ruins. 1t is located on a
mound and is easy of access. Until
the tower is reconstructed it is next
to impossible to clearly trace It's out
lines.
Future Generations Benefited.
Wandering among the ruins. filled
with awe and admiration for the ge-
MUS of these ancient builders, there
likewise came to me the thought OF
profound respect for the ability and
daring imagery of those who are re.
storing for the future generations
some clear picture of the greatest
achievements Of the Maya race. The
work of Prof. Morley is one Of the
most audacious and toilsome attempts
ever made to rebuild the vanished
cities of the past in any part Of the
world.
With infinite pains and extraordi-
nary skill the scattered fragments are
being put together, and by slow de-
grees the old structures are being re-
created and made comparable with
the greatest architectural monuments
of European antiquity.

INTEREST SHOWN
BY VETERANS

From the number of conversions
of war time insurance that are COM
ing into the Veterans Bureau daily,
it is evident that the ex-service men
are keenly alive to the advantages
of this class of insurance, according
to C. H. Hudelson, Regional Man
ager of the Bureau at Boise. The
proposition of life insurance has been
approved in principle by the best
minds of every civilized country in
the world but it remained for Am
erica to develop a particular kind of
policy which could maintain its war
time economical features and still be
adaptable to peace time conditions.
Policies of this character, six in
number have been prepared by the
aetuaries of the Veterans Bureau,
keeping true to al THAT is tradition
ally best in the theory of life insur-
ance, but keeping always in mind
the need for making such policies as
economical "buy" as possible for
the benefit of the veterans for whom
they are Issued.
Under the liberal legislation gov
erning the reinstatement and CON
version of the original wartime
insurance, thousands of veterans
who had given up their insurance as
lost to them forever on account of
lapsation, are now getting in under
the wire" before the last call, July
2, 1926, and the Insurance Division
of the Bureau reports 11,547 appli-
cations for conversion alone, received
during January and February. OF
these applications, 1852 have al
ready been approved.
In connection with this insurance, 4
the Bureau has recently made a re
record in paying a con-
verted insurance claim within "a
hours of the death of the insured.
The case was that of Michael F. Cur
ran who died at p. m. on the 21st
