partially recovered to prosperity,
he declared, have met the diff
culties of recovery from expan-
sion during the war, increased
by a duplication of part of both
industries in the southern states"
Turning to discussion of the
poicies of the republican party
which he said had expanded en-
ployment, the nominee declared
that THE protective tariff has

republican party ever since the
party was founded"
Against it the democratic par

However. they declared for a
tariff that would maintain ef-
fective competition. Hoover also
referred to his previous state
ment in favor of curbing the use
of injunctions in labor disputes
and asserted that 1t was his de-
sire "and that of every good citi-
zen to ameliorate the cause of
industrial conflict, to build to-
ward that true cooperation which
must be the foundation of COM

He concluded with the declara-
ton that "at such a time as this"

MEX PYRAMID
60 CENTURIES
OLD IS FOUND

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. Is. Rl-
Weird serpent carvings, colors
that have endured 1000 years on
pyramid that may have been
built before 5000 B. c., have been
found by archeologists in Mexico
The discoveries were being kept
secret, says Russell Plimpton, di-
rector of the Minneapolis Institute
of Art, who learned Of them while
on a trip to Mexico and Yucatan.
At Tlalpan, 10 miles southwest
of Mexico City, Plimpton declares
he saw "a marvellous toltec pyra-
mid resplendent in colors affixed
1000 years ago"
Surrounding the pyramid on
three sides Is a series Of stone
serpents. The heads are well
carved, while the bodies are made
of stones set together to give q
chunky and powerful effect. They
are like the serpentS found on
Mayan and Aztec ruins and the
ruins in Cambodia, across the Pa
cific in Indo-C China.
IAN unusual feature is that so
much color is preserved" he says.

dangerous ports In Central Am

Nicaragua. has been transformed
into a safe and up-to-date har-

these improvements, ships Of large

A complete survey of the harbor

CRASHES
ON FAIR GROUND

A "Vought Corsair" plane, x
7Ol4, piloted by Mcclellan, came to
grief yesterday when 1t attempt
ed to land on the old fair grounds
north Of town.
According to the pilot, he at
tempted to make a landingon
the race course but smashed a
wheel in touching ground, causing
the plane to wheel around into
the rough ground and nose into
the ground.
According to the pilot the plane
has been in Los Angeles on a
business mission and was just re-
turning to its home base in the
east.
Mcclellan was quite reticent
when interviewed and dismissed
the subject OF his miShap by say
ing that it was due to poor judg-
ment of the pilot. Residents of
the section where the landing was
made declare that the plane was
flying very low over that part
OF town and that the engine
seemed to be working poorly.
Mcclellan states that he was
miSdirected as to the location OF
Las Vegas airport before he start
ed from Los Angeles and thought
from the description given him
that the fair ground plot was the
landing field.
The plane is being diSmantled
for shipment home, being too
badly damaged for repair here.

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. II Up
Herbert Hoover tonight pictured
the tariff and immigration poll
cies of the Democratic party as
serious threats to the ideal Of
labor-"A full time job for every
man."
The Republican Presidential
candidate, making his first speech
in the east. depicted the nations
industrial works as gigantic
economic machine the maladjuSt-
ment of any part of which would
seriously affect the whole, and
said a revision downward OF i'm
port duties and a relaxation Of the
curb upon immigration would con
stitute the monkey wrench which
would throw the whole machinery
out Of tune.
He said efforts Of his party in
the last seven and a half years
had been toward harmonizing this
machine into a smooth running
unit, and that while labor by
collective bargaining might i'm
prove working conditions and
wages, governmental aid was ne
cessary If every working man was
to be kept employed on a full
time basis.
After a gradual climb to a peak
of employment. he said. there had
been a temporary dip last winter,
but then even, only 100000 per
sons had been out Of work, COM
pared with the between 5000, 900
and 100000 In 1921.
TWO industries, coal and tex
tile, have only partially recovered
he added, recognizing the duty OF
the government to continue ef-
forts TO their full recovery BY
every assistance the government
can afford" and promising that
he would carry this work forward
diligently.
A5r. Hoover described wages and
