OLD MAYkN COTTON
FABRIC DISCOVERED
Ball Game of Ancient Ameri-
cans Also Brought to
Light.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 19.-Discov-
cry of we'll preserved ancient American
woven cotton fabric, said to be the first
of its kind ever found. was announced
here last night before the international
Congress of Americanists.
A new find in ancient American
sports also was announced, in evidence
that the type of ball then played was
more widespread than hitherto believed.
Both announcements were made by
Prof. Franz Blom of Tulane University.
New Orleans. He made the discoveries
this Summer while conducting the John
Geddings Gray Memorial Expedition of
Tulane through the site of the great
Magyar civilization. which flourished in
Central America about 1000 years ago.
Found in Cave.
The textiles were found in the State
of Chiapas, Mexico. Before their find
ing, he said, scientists had known only
Of few charred scraps of Magyar tex
tiles. The Tulane trophies were recov-
cred from an ancient burial cave, OPEN
ing into the side of cliff, which two
Mexicans found while hunting honey.
Blcm, describing his own entry in the
cave later, said:
sticking my head inside the mouth
of the cavity, 1 saw that it was formed
like large globe and that its walls
had a hard. shiny glaze of crystalline
limestone, through which no water
could penetrate. The floor of the cav
ity was covered with fine and very dry
dust, and 1t was evident that squir-
rel had made a nest here after the
entrance had been forced open by the
bee hunters. Deep in the dust came
@f 1vy
served white cotton cloth. A further
ments of cloth to light.
Cloth Is Plain.
1.-The cloth Is plain white, without
any coloring or design, woven out of
cotton and so we'll preserved that it
will stand hard pulling. Two different
types of weave were found, one having
three woofs together and the other two
the woofs being finer and thinner than
the warp. On some of the fragments
the original edge is preserved, and two
pieces are sewn together with long
stitches"
The other discovery, the finding of
several ball courts in the southern
MAYA area, Blom said, overthrows lone
of the fundamental theories regarding
cultural migrations In Central Amer
lea" This theory was that the ball
game, called tlachtly. was not played
by the early Mayas, but was introduced
by Mexicans not long before the Span
iards arrived in America. These ball
courts were shaped like capital letter
I, with sloping walls covered with cut
stones set close together, forming a
smooth surface. Blom said he found
them in the old empire region of the
MAYA area, where it had been previ-
cusly supposed the game was not
played.

All CLUB CAMP

The annual All Camp for

more in club work is to be held
at Pullman the week of June IL
18th. The Club camp is a time
which many boys and girls over
the state look forward to with a
great deal of pleasure and as it
gives them an opportunity to meet
other boys and girls from the
state doing project work along the
same line and thus getting many
new pointers for their project.
They are also able to get new
suggestions as to the organization
work of the club methods of carry
ing on community work through
the club.
Clubs which have been organic
ed for two years or more in the
county are all working on pro-
grams for financing delegates to
the Club camp. Delegates to the

re recognized each year as a splen-

boys and especially those who
have dropped out of school. This
does not mean however that those

We urge particularly that par

will get as deep an insight into
the work as they can and we feel
sure that anyone becoming ac-
quainted with club work is going
to feel that it is one of the grea-

clubs and members working to-

notice that there are many farms
near the highway and undoubted-
" the same thing is true of those
back from the highway where
there is too great a squirrel in

the local squirrel or sage rat does
not do the damage caused by his
larger cousin in the Palouse
country, yet careful study of the
damage done by them has shown
that they are factor to be reck-
Oned with. At this time of the
year when the season is beginning
to become a little dry they will
make their greatest inroads upon
the crops. This is one of the cas-
lest times to control because they
are active and the proper distri-
button Of poison should get rid Of

are active with the parents at
