part of anyone to criticise the li- brary.
 Mir. Quigley's statement opening the discussion today was as follows:
 "The members of the Lions club are not mollycoddles, muck rakers or meddlers. We arc just decent. clean, American civic organization. who like clean things, and we have nothing but contempt and loathing for the publication of the filthy mag azines exposed for public sale in the newsstands, and we endorse the &C., ton of Mayor Paonessa in ridding our city of these rotten publica- tions"
 Mir. Quigley added: 'I have little to say about the library. There is a difference between books and mag azncs, We can safely leave the se- lection Of books in the library to Mir. White and his corps of efficient librarians.
 Endorsement Not Voted
 The motion of endorsement to Mayor Paonessa was put to a vote of the club, with an obvious d. vision of opinion. There was no ruling from the chair. L. W. Vogel then presented a motion that a vote of apology be sent the library. He said as member of the Lions club he had met considerable ridicule be- cause of last weeks meeting. He said the New Britain library is known throughout New England for it's unusually large and carefully chosen selection of books, and that he felt grave injustice had been done. He offered motion that an apology be sent to the library.
 Fred C. Teich said the library matter was a personal matter with one individual
 Disagree On Disagreement Attorney David l.. Nair added: We don't agree with Harry Han- cock" Mr. Quisley expressed dis approval of MT. Nair's statement by saving: "L don't believe we ought to let Harry Hancock be the goat" Mr. Hancock made a brief eXplana- 1ion in which he said his remarks were directed to certain books which hc felt were placed on the l shelves without being read by the committee, and that he had no in tention to criticisc the library. q did not attack or critiCisc the iibrary," The said. He subsequently stated to Herald representative 1 that he holds the library officials I in the greatest respect and that he would not feel qualified to criticise | their selection.

considered closed by library officials and MT. Hancock, and the Herald las been informed by Miss Greta Brown. librarian, that there has been no change in the friendly re- lations existing between MT. Han cock and the library. The discussion showing a tendency to encroach oni the time of the speaker, it was finally voted to place both motions on the table until next week.
 Astronomer is Speaker The speaker today was Dr. Ar thur B. Carpenter, astronomer. Dr. Carpenter began his address by tcll- ing of the beliefs of the ancients go- ing back to the second century be- fore Christ. He told of the belief of the ancients that the earth was fiat, and from that point traced the var ious developments and discoveries of science to the present time.
 He called attention to the fact that every known mechanical law to-
 
 from celestial mechanics.
 Proofs that the Bible actually was written in ancient times. he said. is found in the fact that scientifically it represents the beliefs of people of that period. He said the Bible was not a scientific authority, but that spiritually and morally it's influence can never be overthrown.
 'The physical body you carry around with you came from Mother Earth. The earth once was part of the sun. The sun is only gaseous star which shows that man once was only lot of heated gas.
 The fact that man is spiritual being as well as a physical bsing, and that spiritually he has unraveled many of the-.mysteries of the uni verse makes him almost god"
 The speaker stated that when Charles Darwin made his discover ies it was a distinct shock to the church. "Now we know that man can be both Christian and an evO. lutionist. It's working out" he add cd.
 Statistics on Light
 The speaker attempted to give some idea of the distance in .hc uni verse. Calling attention to the fact that light travels 1S6,O00 hiles a second, he said, Figure how many | i, sand years" On clear dark night you see little patches of light. That is 100000 or 300.0O0 light years away and consists of 50 million suns millions of light years apart. each one six times as bright as the sun Our galaxy is an island in the uni. verse 200.000 or 3O0.000 light year. across, and 10000 light years thick ! There are some million light years

HOOVER RETURNS
 WITH COAT Of TAN
President. Elect RoacbS Wash
 ineton After Florida Tip

Washington. Feb. 1s R-Back from his months vacation in Flor ida. President-elect Hoover reached Washington today at 1;30 p. m.
 The president-elect, accompanied by Mrs. Hoover. was met at the Union station by Hubert Work, chairman of the republican national committee. and by George Akerson, his private secretary. Only very few persons were admitted to the sta ton platform, but crowd of about 200 had gathered in the station to welcome him. MT. Hoover was ap- plauded as he passed through the station.
 Bronzed by the southern sun. MT. and Mrs. Hoover posed for an tn- stant for cameramen aNd movie op- orators before entering their auto mobile and proceeding to their s street home.
 Conferences Arranged
 This afternoon he made arrange ments for conferences with those whose counsel he will seek in find ing the solution to the questions of more immediate moment. These consultations will be carried on probably right up to the eve of in- auguration. In order that his ad- ministration may be launched with smoothly functioning machinery. it is expected that he will consult with a number of those who arc to be in his cabinet on questions of larger policy and on matters which will be pending with the change of admin istrations.
 These and the other conferences which he plans will be held at his s street home as he intends to remain in comparative seclusion there until inauguration day. They will be car ried on both day and night.
 While the president-elect himself has had no comment to make on published reports that he will visit Havana soon after his inauguration, some of his advisers declare he will remain in Washington practically continuously until after the end of the special session of congress.
 They point to a number of mat. ters which will engross his attention. before the special session such as conferences with farm leaders sn agricultural relief legislation pre- paratory to the formulation of his recommendations to the new con- gress on this subject.
 Prohibition Is Problem
 Another problem which isn't at all easy of solution is that of selecting the members of the commission which is to investigate prohibition and to make such recommendation as it may deem necessary to mini- mize present abuses in the enforce mcnt of the Nolstead act.
 Prohibition has become a subject of such sharp controversy in the country that Mr. Hoover probably will be unable to carry out his own wish to name men who have an open mind on the question as there are few outstanding men who have not made public declaration on one side or the other.
 Even the selection of single in- dividual as umpire between prom inent vets and drys who might be named is regarded by many as diff ficult matter as naturally the man chosen for this position would have to be one commanding the confi- dence of both sides to the contro- versy as we'll as of the people gen. orally.
 While Mir. Hoover has his inau. gural address well advanced. it is far from finished. He is revising it, section by section. and may not have it completed until around March l.

MEXIC1 CITY. Sept. lo.-This
city OF a million inhabitants. once
the Venice Of the ancient Aztecs. has
many streets that were once canals
and covers the ruins Of pyramids,
temples and relics Of the old Indian
civilization.
The Mexican government. which
long did not make any efforts 10
preserve or even study the city with
relation to its archaeological and
historical phases. now is doing that
very thing on a large scale. The
Direction of Archaeology has as
sumed charge Of ali excavations
being made In connection with con-
struction work.
Tenochtitlan. as the Mexico City
Of the Aztecs was called. was built
in a lake. The waters later were
reduced by dlvertsng its tributaries
over the mountains that surrounded
the Valley of Mexico. The canals that
formed many Of the ancient streets
we're filled with the ruins Of RACED
Aztec structures.
As a result Of the artificial round
thus effected, the construction Of
tall buildings in Mexico City IS i'm
possible. and even comparatively
low buildings are in many instances
found to be slowly sinking, some
Of them leaning forward or back
ward and some sagging in the mid
die.
The center OF the old Aztec city
was the part Of Mexico City known
as the locale, where the National
Palace and the Cathedral OF Mexico
are located. Here. there are many
streets that have sunk because they
were once canals and also many that
hump. because there were once py-
ramid walls there.
One city not far from the Nat
ional Palace. has been taken over
by the government as an archacoi0-
gial preserve. ArchaeologistS look
upon this site as a treasure. but
real estate men regard the hole In
the ground as an eyesore.
Parts of the ancient construction
found In this site are believed 70
be part of the pyramids of the
Great Teccaili. the center Of Aztec
worship In Mexico.
After the conquest In 1921 the
Aztec structures were RACED and

LUTHER c. HESS

This Democratic Senator from the Fourth Division sought to render efficient service to the Territory. He gave careful con- sideration to all bills presented and was ever ready witl4 an amendment if he thought it would safeguard or strengthen a measure, without reference to who might be the author. He did not seek to play politics al- tho he was ever alert to aid in the passage of any measure that would seemingly be to the ad- vantage of the Agricultural Col lege or the preserve the powers of the Governor. Even those bills that he did not especially favor, but which he believed would pass the Senate, he sought to get in the best pos sible form He personally in- troduced a number of measures, some of which were defeated and others were passed by the Republican majority. One of the latter was the gasoline tax measure of 3 cents per gallon.

RICHARD N. SUNDQUIST

His previous experience in the House served him well and he was thus enabled to render val uable service in the Senate. He had t122 courage and oetermln- atiOn to battle for the measures that he deemed for the best in- terests of all concerned, and as a result aided in securing val uable legislation for the Ter ritory. AS one of the Republican majority members, $ e n t o Sundquist was ready at all times to make battle against the en- croachments and subtle designs of the element that was ever on the alert to "put something oV- er." AS chairman of the Finance Committee, he familiarized him. self wills past appropriations, studied and realized the needs of special projects and subsidies, and in many instances, was en- abled to wisely advise cuts or slight extensions. He fought against the cut in road appro-

This was opposed by President Steel, wlso felt that the time was not yet ripe for additional tax ation. On the first vote the bill was killed by a four to four bal lot, but one of the members vot- ing against, later gave notice he would move to reconsider and the next day he voted for the bill, which passed, but was later killed in the House. Another measure, or in fact three bills, that Senator Hess introduced and was very keen about pass ing, concerned the regulation of motor vehicles. They included 90 pages of typewriter matter but the majority did not believe t11at so many and complex regu- lations were as yet needed in the Territory, so they were with drawn by the introducer. Altho somewhat technical in some of his objections, Senator Hess was regarded as rather a safe and sane Legislator.

priations by the House, to $3OO,- 900, and secured an increase in the Senate to $4OO,OO0. But in free conference he was unable to secure more than the $32O,- 900 that the House was willing to concede. He joined Senator Anderson in their campaign pledge for elective Territorial offices and assisted in securing four of these positions for cleo tion next year. And in helping to bring about this result more was accomplished along the line of t-la Board of Control idea than the members of the House realized until after the winds of battle had cleared the atmos- phere. Under the new laws the Auditor and Treasurer, two elec- tive officials, will perform the duties of the Territorial Bank ing Board and the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners, in conjunction with the Govern or. The latter Board to also have an elective Engineer as a member. And by making the office of Commissioner of Edu- cation elective, tie Governor can no longer play politics and designate the election of anoth- CT Henderson, to implicitly serve him and allow him to run the schools of the Territory. AS a whole, Senator Sundquist did quite well, thank you
