village until the remainder were prop
erly reburied in the churchyard. Some
people now suggest that if Pocahontas
was actually buried in the chancel Of
the original st. Georges Church. it is
possible that the Indian maiden's re-
mains were thus carelessly lost by
children.
In order to identify the remaining
bones that were then dug up and re-
buried. an American, Edward Page
CASTOR. with the assistance of several
prominent British scientists, entered
the new grave in 1923 in the hope of
determining and honoring the burial
place of Pocahontas. This attempt
met with no success. as the grave con-
tanned 100 skeletons, none of which
was identified as that of North
American Indian woman

deed, local experts identified 1t as that
of a North American Indian woman
Excitement ran high, and it was taken
to Sir Arthur Keith, head of the
Royal College of Surgeons, who told
me the story. Sir Arthur, after a
cursory examination, agreed that this
was an Indian skeleton, hence posi-
bly, that of Pocahontas. But upon
closer examination he found that 1t
was an Indian woman, surely, but a
Peruvian Indian woman, who had
been embahmed Eventually it was
learned that this was a museum piece
that had been lost in Gravesend for
many years.
SO the search for Pocahontas goes
on. Perhaps some daX some one will
come across evidence that will settle
the dispute and make it possible to
erect fitting monument to the first
accredited envoy from the original
colony to the mother country.

that car seemed to me woefu|iy
unattractive.
There were men with un-
shaven faces, and women with
disheveled hair, and babies who
put their dirty fingers in their
dirty little mouths. Some
sprawled and slept; some snored.
Our journey ended and we
were emptied into the depot.
There, behind a rope, awaiting
our arrival, we're many folks as
unattractive as ourselves.
But as we came pouring
through the gates, behold a
miracle! The homely horde
rushed upon us. Cross eyed men
clasped unkempt women to their
breasts. Withered old women
planted kisses upon the cheeks
Of honely young women, ex
claiming that they were "beau.
tiful," and calling them my
dear" and weeping tears of hap.
piness at their arrival.
And suddenly was ashamed
of myself; and | said to my wife;
what a magnificent thought it
was on the part of God to give
every human being somebody
who thinks that he or she is
wonderful"
Samuel Butler, who was very
cynical, thought il great mis-
take that the generations should

The butterfly spins cocoon,

old friends to be a nuisance to US.
Napoleon is supposed to have
had more energy and will power
than any other modern man, but
even he could not solve the reIa-
tive problem. 1t is amusing to
read his angry letters to his
brothers and see what trouble he
had in trying to teach them to be
kings. They persisted in making
a mess of things and caused him
more worry than all his armies.
So relatives are not an un.
mixed blessing; yet what sad
world without them! Every once

The United States with less than 6
per cent of the worlds area and
between 6 and per cent OF the
worlds population, is doing in nearly
every line OF industry more than one
half the worlds business. You cannot
injure this business without injuring
the nation. And anything that Chills
the free enterprise Of men or deadens
their initiative or interferes arbitrarily
with their pursuits does injure bust
ness and is destructive Of social and
economic progress.
Too much government in business
does just those things. The underlying

the next session of Congress with
such force that a definite program for

To date the Federal Government, IT

$80,000,000 for the construction of
