MRS. NUTTALL SPEAKS
ON PRE-SPANISH ERAS
An thropological Society Gets New
Data from Survey of Old
Civiliza tions.

New deductions concerning pre-
Spanish civilizations in Mexico and
South America were presented to
members of the Anthropological So
cietv Of Washington yesterday after
noon at the New National Museum by
Mrs. Zef1a Nuttall. Speaking on the
subject. New Light on Ancient
American Calendars" Mrs. Nuttall
offered the society conclusions drawn
after 80 years residence in Mexico
and special study of Mexican and
South American calendar systems.
The lecture was illustrated with
slides and drawings and photographs.
That the 260-day period by which
the ancient American peoples reckon
cd time was carried from Goutemala
north to Mexico was the conclusion
drawn by Mrs. Nuttall from investi-
cations of relics showing the method
of computing time. She pointed out
that pillars were erected to mark
the passage of time, the pillars casting
no shadows when the sun was at the
equinox. These pillars were worship
cd as idols, she s3id the people be-
lieving that When sc equinox arrived
The sun sat on them.
The 260-day Dt!41.. began when the

Happy Days

In o1den times the gay saloons were
stationed here and there, and they
would get a mans doubloons before
he was aware. A friend would say,
Lets step inside, and drain a stoup
of booze; his plea could scarcely be
denied, and SO my drink Id choose
Then would say, "It is my treat, and
I'm prepared to buy a pannikin or
bitters neat, a f1agon of old rye" An,
then a genial warmth would steal
about our persons twain, and we q
embrace and weep and feel that life
was not In vain. Another drink, -
my friend would say, will make our
bliss complete; why be in haste to go
our way along the crowded street,
So thus we kept our spirits up by
pouring spirits down; we soaked our
whiskers in the cup that ruins fair
renown. When came the closing of
the day, and stars lit up the dome,
they loaded us upon dray, and sadly
sent us home. Had there been no
saloon in sight, to act as tempter
there, we would have journeyed home
at night all right side up with care.
Now up and down the street / walk,
about the teeming place; / meet old
friends on every block, and warmly
we embrace. But no one says. Now
let us go to Charles grog bazaar, and
purchase seven drinks or so, and
haply a cigar Gone are the joints
with swinging doors, and where they
used to stand we're running stately
dry goods stores, and selling plots of
land Now one must walk to buy
drink some 19 parasangs, and buy it
of a greasy gink who trains with
bootleg gangs. The men who have
same self-respect don't wish to buy
that way; it is more seemly, they re-
feet, TO drink from creek or bay.
