cent Of the total players pool. leaving

On the other hand, Sherdel was in

on the runway. Despite this difficulty,
the little southpaw managed to get
himself together and climb out Of the

Customs of Indians
UNCHANGED by Time

The Indians living In the region Of
San Francisco bay have not changed
their customs or place of abode for
$500 years, says DR.. A. l.. Kroeber Of
the University of California when
Troy was besieged and Solomon was
building his temple. at period when
even Greek civilization had not yet
taken on the traits that we regard as
characteristic, when only few scat
tering foundations of specific modern
culture were being laid and our own
northern ancestors dwelled in unmNi-
gated barbarism, the native Californian
already lived in all essentials like his
descendant Of today" This knowledge
was obtained from shell mounds sub
merged around the bay. All classes Of
objects found in these mounds were
unearthed with practically the same
frequency from the top, middle and
bottom. This shows that these prehis-
toric people ate the same kind Of food
wore the same kind of clothes and had
the same customs as their descendants.
The age of the mounds is estimated by
calculating the time necessary for such
shells to accumulate te-Pathtinder Mag

Bogpips and Organ
Alike in Principle

The Highland bagpipe is q primitive
instrument with quality all Its own,
says the Chicago Journal. 1t has nine
notes, but they are not like the chro-
matte scale. The bagpipe scale does
not exist In any other instrument and
Its music, unlike regular music, can
not be transposed from one key into
another.
The bagpipe itself, In its Highland
form, consists of an alright leather
bag with three wooden stocks, usually
of ebony, fitted into 1t, one Of them
holding the mouthpiece, another the
chanter, another the three drones. AS
most people know, 1t Is played with the
bag held under the arm, the drones
over the shoulder, and with the fingers
on the noteholes in the chanter at the
front.
Except that its scale Is Its own and
does not exist in any other instrument,
the bagpipe Is similar to q church
organ in principle. The player main
tains the wind pressure on his drones
and chanter by keeping the bag full of
wind and regulates the volume of
sound by the pressure of his arm on
the bag.
What he produces may not be the
sweetest form OF music in the world,
but even to ears that are far from
Scottish 1t Is the most unforgettable of
all music. Those who have listened to
the pibrochs of the different clans and
to the walls of the funeral drge say
that 1t Is like no other music In the
world.

Existing rates for professional
