Ship Carries y. S. School Houses to the EskimOs
OHIO TOMBS REVEALING ARTISTIC
BEAUTY OF OLD MOUND BUILDERS

COLUMBUS, o., April 2 (P)-The
mound building aborigine of Amer
lea, stripped of the fantastic myths
which have lowered above him, is
revealed rs a savage who loved fine
saiment and ornamentation PAID
great attention to ceremonials, trar-
ficked with distant tribes and could
fight when he had to.
This appraisal has been reached
by the Ohio state archaeological and
historical society after more than two
decades of exploration in the great
ceremonial sites, and found in their
greatest completeness in Ohio.
A patient striving for beauty is
depicted in the remains of mound
building civilization uncovered in re-
cent months in the Seip mound, scene
of THE Great Pearl Burial of Ohio"
In this primitive but regal tomb Of

Within the mound, $50 feet long,
15O feet wide and 81 feet high eX-
plorers found under layer of cob
blestones an interior mound built of
puddled loan, enclosing four burial
cribs of logs, 16 feet square.
Two men, two women and two
children were skeletal occupants of
the tomb, the men resting on copper
breastplates. Around them were
myriads of fresh water mussel pearls,
some the size of small seeds and
others big as hazelnuts. All hae
been worn as necklaces, armlets
anklefs or stomachers.
Beneath the copper plates was dis

nothing more, its exploration has

OYSTER BAR RULED
BY SEVERE SISTERS

LONDON, Apr. 2 ((R))-There's an
old world spirit about small oyster
bar in the West End which is ruled
over with iron discipline by two sis
ters, the Misses Cheeseman.
Prominent society men, actors and
literary people patronize it regularly,
but as regularly leave their identity
on the doorstep and literally "toe the
line" when once they have entered
the sacred portals.
Miss Cheeseman, the elder, allows
no smoking on the grounds that to-
bacco spoils the flavor Of the btvalves
for others. 1t is said her wrath sud-
denly fell on a noted actor who en-
tered with a cigaret in his mouth. He
will never do it again
Her sister, who dispenses the beer
and stout, strictly limits the quantity
for each customer at half pint.
Newcomers, unaware Of the rules,
ask for a dozen oysters" only to be
met with tart you will only have
half dozen, and that's all anybody
can have today"
And that's all they get.

Briar Pipe Losing
Race With Cigaret

. LONDON, Apr. 2 6(P))-John Bulls
briar pipe is losing out in the race
with the cigaret.
1t is only good old "Die Hards" like
Premier Baldwin who cling to their
trusty, likewise smelly pipes.
The fnarvelously co1ored meerschaum
and calabash are getting scarcer and
scarcer in the theatres and cafes.
1t is only in his club that the pipe
loving Englishman can smoke now
without getting some rough looks.
London and the other larger English
cities are getting into the class with
New York and Montreal. They have
caught the New World disdain of the
pipe and refuse to admit it into po-
lite society. 1t has been relegated to
the suburbs and rural districts.
Cigars also are losing out Four
times as many cigarettes are sold in
Great Britain as were marketed twenty
years ago, pipe tobacco is decidedly
less sought, and snuff and chewing to-
bacco have almost gone into the dis
card.

TOO Many Teas Is

guests for luncheons and dinners
day after day they found difficulty

Mrs. Stanley Baldwin, the prime
minister's wife, solved the problem
by getting a "washing-up" machine
of the size of those used in hotels.

nag me with suggestions" said Mrs.
Baldwin. ct followed the sugges-

Mrs. Baldwin buys all her eggs
in the country when they are cheap
and preserves them in water glass.
They are not kept long, however,
as the prime minister is nearly as
fond of poached eggs on toast as
he is of politics.

F funerals Touched
By Urge F or Speed

PARIS, Apr. 2 (QP)-The postwar
urge for speed in the French capital
is even affecting funerals.
A proposal before the city council
for automobile hearses has aroused
much opposition and bitter comment
but it seems likely that American
methods will be adopted.
One critic laments that speed in
funerals will mark the farewell of one
of the most beautiful sentiments in
France-respect for the dead. He for
sees the end of the solemnity in French
death ceremonials.
There are IL classes of funerals in
France and even the poorest, with one
shabby paid mourner, has the right of
way everywhere. French law requires
men to remove their hats as it pass
es. Relatives march uncovered behind
the hearse regardless of weather, and
remain uncovered throughout long
graveside services.
