Skulls of Early Florida Indians Show
Exceptional Health of Fierce Tribe

Prehistoric inhabitants OF southern
Florida may not have known the foun.
tain of youth that the Spaniards sought.
but they we're an extraordinarily healthy
lot Judging by bones which have been
tnken from burial mound near Fort
Myers. Only one diseased bone was
found In the mound. according to
Henry Is. Collins, ir.. anthropologist of
the United States National Museum,
who excavated at the site.
Mr. Collins has Just returned here
with 30 skulls from this mound, believed
to be those Of the famous Calusa In
dians, the tribe which first greeted
Ponce de Leon and routed the youth~
seeking Spaniard with a shower of ar
rows The Calusa had the reputation
OF being oannlhals and flerce warriors.
but they were among the firat Indians
to be wiped out by the white man, and
by the time OF the American Revolu-
tion they were practically extinct,
Remains ot these extinct Indians
have been extremely rare, and very
little has been known about them, u
said Mr. Collins, IN describing his ex-
pedition, THE skulls show that the
Calusa were not particularly large or
powerfully built people as were tribes
Of northern Florida"
A strange discovery from the mound
was that only half dozen OF the 40
burialA were children. Whether this
means that these Indians were more
successful than most tribes In rearing
their children, or whether babies who
did not survive were disposed at in
some other way cannot be determined,
Mr. Collins said.

''pOSerltv will praise and hold high
When Qmbbing statesmen shall have sunk in obloauy."
y Q read the concluding lines Of poetical
composition dedicated to The Dead of the
s-4" recited in the House last week by
~ Representative Grffen of New York who
rose to deplore the inaction of the con-
ferees on the Butler resolution for an inquiry
into the sinking of the submarine.
This conclusion, while meeting. perhaps, the
eXigencies of poetic expression, will hardly stand
the test of prosaic truth. A few years hence the
number of men who perished on the S-4, their
names and how they came to die, will have
been forgot AS for posterity-posterity will
know no more about them than the present
generation knows about the sinking of the F4
the sinking of the FL or the number who
perished when the S-51 went down in 1925
And qubbling statesmen will have sunk no
deeper in obloquy than at present
Already the public indignation which Mr.
Griffen pictured as burning white hot" over
the sinking of the S4 has about burned itself
out. The raising of the S-4 week ago yeSter-
day and the subsequently gruesome findings by
the naval officers who explored her battered hull
have added the final remnants of fuel TO the
flames already reduced to family glowing sparks
few weeks hence the sinking of the S-4 will
have taken its place among the forgotten TRACE
dies of the seattle public protest which burned
so brightly when she went down will have Joined
the limbo of other fevers which time always
manages to cool and drive away

And what remains?
At the Charlestown Navy Yard the battered
hull of the S-4 rests in dry dock
In graves scattered far and wide lie the 20
members OF her crew who died a fearful death

Meditation by the Senate committee
on Interstate Commerce in the hope
of adjusting labor difficulties In the
bituminous coal fields Is being tried.
The Senate committee wants a get

issued by the Secretary of Labor has
been declined by some of the principal
coal operators Hence the Senate COM
mittee has taken hold Of the situation.
Again and again witnesses have been
asked II they would favor a round table
conference such as led 10 the successful
completion of the WatSon-Parker act
as machinery for adjustment OF dis
putes In the field of transportation.
II, however. there Is to be any con-
fering. IL is evident that the Senate
committee viii have to do 1t separately,
taking each group at time, The feel
ing OF bitterness between the factions
is such that II Is doubted whether they
could accomplish much If they did sit
down at the same table.

In the Consolidation Coal Co, Of West

either of them controls the coal output
or because their companies are major

belief that these two men would be
found on the side of Cancellation In
attempting TO work out the problem.
II was reasoned that II these men
favored conference, the moral effect on
the operators generally would be strong
or at least public opinion might be
aligned on that side
The testimony revealed some interest
ing lines of thought. Mr.. Schwah. for
instance. looking directly at John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers. said In very friendly fashion
that he did not believe the present
situation would be cured except by
direct contact between the men and
their EMPLOYERS This was construed a q

meaning that so-called company unions
were as effective as any other method
in bringing employer and employe
together
When Mr.. Rockefeller took the stand,
he replied to questions about labor
philosophy BY saying that in its broad
est sense he favored collective bargain
ing" but that 1t remained for each
company or each local problem to de-
velop what was the best machinery for
bringing collective bargaining into eff
feet. He believed organized labor was
one OF the methods. but only one. He
paid tribute TO Mr.. Lewis and organized
labor and said he would be glad 10
help In any way he could In solving
the problem. His suggestion was that
the Senate committee confer first with
the operators and tackle the problem
of overproduction as IL relates to legiS-
lation needed to permit operators TO
make agreements and to consolidate.
Final Conference With Labor.
Then, later, he thought the COM
mittee might confer with the railroads
and then with the group affected by
distribution factors, and when step
by step tentative agreements had been
reached the final conference should be
with labor. He did not think economies
should be affected at the expense of
wage cutting view in which Mr..
Schwab earlier in the day had con-
Cured.
The attorneys for the United Mine
Workers expressed TO Mr. Rockefeller
their satisfaction with his testimony
and the next step now Is up 10 the
Senate committee. which Is beginning
TO realize the operators will not come
into direct conference with the miners
and that mediation alone is feasible,
The operators insist that labor In the
non-unlon fields should be consulted
by the committee II that phase Of the
problem Is inquired into. The COM
mittee feels deeply the situation In the
Pennsylvania fields and Is anxious to
work out an adjustment though the

Telescope Used in Study of Astronomy,
With Reflector, Described bv Expert

What sort of thing Is the telescpSNe
that the astronomer uSeSe
Is there more than one kind Of tele-
Scopes
All these are questions that soon pop
up III the mind OF any one who starts
even superficial study of astronomy
when he reads, for instance, that the
largest telescope In the world is the
ioo-inch reflector at the Mount Wilson
Observatory In California, and that the
largest refractor Is the A0~ineh at the.
YerkeS Observatory IN Wisconsin,
large part of modern astronomical
study Is done with the aid OF photoS-
raphy, and the rcfracting telescope,
when used for this purpose Is nothins
but huge camera, A lens at one end
called the objective. which Is pointed 4
the stars, forms an image ng them on ?
photographic plate at the other end
When 1t Is desired to look through the
telescope, another. smaller lens. called
the eyepiece. is placed at the end away
from the objective, This takes the place
of the plate and through IL the observer
sees the image that would otherwise
have been formed ON the sensitive
photographic surface The size OF a
telescope Is often given IN terms Of the
diameter of the objective, When w
say that the YerkeS Observatory has a
aO~ineh telescope, We mean that the dl~
ameter ot the objective is 40 inches
The refraetcr so called because the
light Is ''reiracted" as 1t passes through
the big lens, was the original form Of
telescope. The reflector came into use
many years later. but now there are big
ser refieetorS than there are refractcrS
A AeoneaVe mirror In this instrument takes
the place Of the convex lens et the re-
tractor. IL does the same thing AS the
lens, that ". Il brings the rays of tight
to focus, either ON Il psotagTanhie
plate or IN mont of the eyepieee, With
this also. the Slee ol the Instrument Is
determined by the diameter of the Oh
ieetive. OF mirror The largest in the
world, the one at Mount Wilson. has
mirror 100 inches in diameter.
