Commissioner of Education Angus

THE best way to teach thrift is to

which lends itself so effectively to

Things You Should Know,
BALD HEADS.

There is perhaps, ,,o major mas
culine affection that defies the
search for cause so stubbornly. Be-
ing at sea in this important re-
spect, we theorize, usually after
all prospect Of cure has vanished.
Badness claims one redeeminp
trait-it is painless. Perhaps if
falling hair was attended by suf-
fering, fewer heads would be neg
lected and the shining dome"
would be more rarely met with.
There is, of course the mental
anguish that goes with being bald
headed-the mute admission of age
and incompetence-the rebuke of
the mirror. :,
A friend of mine-a CLERGYMAN.
and a profound scholar, attributes
nine-tenths of badness to the in
discriminate use of the comb and
brush in the barber-shop. He is
confident that badness increases
with the frequenting of the tom
serial parlor, where common
brush and comb are applied to con-
secutive heads without sterilizing.
He reasons that this brush and
comb come in contact with at least
a dozen diseased scalps daily, and,
that misunderstanding microbes are
carried from patron to patron. ID
The barber disinfects his lather-
cup and razor, but his precaution
ends there; he applies the universal
brush and comb, finishes the GUS
toner with flourish, and sparks"
the carriers on a shelf to await
the next. My friend never per-
.nits the use of the comb and brush
in the barber-shop-and he has
beautiful hair. He predicts a race
of bald-headed women, now that
they are regular patrons of the
shops. Maybe theorizing will de-
velop the antiseptic bath for comb
and brush between customers-

? 1-4 inches. This was put through the elongated lobe of the ear and considered an ornament of the high est merit. It was made of a solid piece of slate and was covered with copper.
 Many pieces of galena and hema- tite found indicated trade between these Louisiana mound dwellers and the Indians to the north and west. while the copper must have come from the Lake Superior region.
 In the regions of the mounds. MT. Collins found great shell heaps, some of which were almost half mile long while one was 80 feet deep. These shell heaps were made by the mound builders and indicate what their major food was.
 From Louisiana, MT. Collins re- turned to the scene of his researches among the Choctaw Indians of Miss issippi a year ago. He took meas urements of 73 living Choctaws for comparative purposes in the study of the problem of the origin of the h. dians of the southern states. He also located several historic Choctaw villages one of which was the site of the first Catholic mission established in the south, dating from ITO.

bursement of the kind ever made.
 The corporation declared a com mon stock dividend of 50 per cent, authorizing an increase of 2,90O,000 shares The declaration was made yesterday after the stock exchange had closed for the day.
 The only comment by the presi- dent, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., was the outlook at present is satisfactory"
 The directors decided to have the regular quarterly dividend of 4 per cent declared yesterday, apply to the additional stock as well as to that outstanding. This decision gives the stockholders about s5.- 250,000 more in cash than trey would ordinarily receive on the next disbursement.
 The stock dividend brings the present outstanding issue Of approx imately 5.S00,000 shares to nearly 9,O00,00O The stock has no bar value, but on the basis of the closing quo tations Of 20312 on the exchange yesterday the market value would be about s1, ,000,000. The high est quotation which the stock has yet shown was 225A.
 After giving effect to yesterdays dividend General Motors will have, besides the 9,O00,0O0 shares of com mon, s104,S27,000 of per cent cumulative preferred, s2,175,700 of per cent cumulative preferred and s3,029,900 of 6 per cent debenture stock.
 General Motors sold on March 29 at 11S 1-4, the lowest level of the year
 Most of the gain since that time has been recorded in the past few weeks. On August 2, Thomas Coch- ran, partner in J. P. Morgan & Company, was quoted as predicting 100-pound rise. Since Morgan & Company are known to be heavily interested in General Motors, the stock rose nearly 12 points to POI at once, although it dropped slight ly when Mir. Cochran denied he had authorized the prediction.

INDIAN MOUNDS
 IN LOUISIANA
Important Historical Find Made
 Near New Orleans

Washington. D. C., Aug. 1S- A definite addition to our knowl- edge of the prehistoric Indian life of this continent has been made by a Smithsonian ethnologist, Mir. Henry B. Collins, Jr., in the discovery of large mounds on the marshy coast of Louisiana west and south of New Orleans. Before MT. Collins, who is on the staff of the National Museum. was detailed by the bureau of eth- nology to explore Gulf coast area it was supposed that the cannibal Attacopa tribe of nomadic Indians had been the only inhabitants of the western part of the area. Mounds found by MT. Collins. one of which rises 45 feet above the level of the surrounding country, indicate the presence of a highly developed peo- pie.
 MT. Collins believes it probable that the builders of the newly dis covered mounds were the ancestors of the Chitimacha Indians, highly cultured people who are known 10 have occupied an adjoining terri tory.
 In his excavations Mr. Collins dis covered several freplaces 6 feet be- low the surface of one mound, in- dicating that the mound had had two stages of development. The majority of the mounds were prob- ably used for temple sites and the residences of priests and chiefs. Sometimes burials took place in them.
 Mir. Collins brought back series of skulls of these mound builders which will be studied by anthropole- gists to determine their racial af- nnities. The pottery relics which he found reveal the same type of or namentation as that common to the Gulf region eastward to Florida. As among all Indians, this pottery was made by the women of the tribe.
 Other proofs of the high culture of these mound builders found by Mir. Collins include perfectly round ed shell beads. and an exceptionally well formed oar ornament shaped like z patent trouser button except that the larger sphere measures BE inches in diameter, and the small
