They built massive pyramids of masonry
equal in size to the great pyramids Of
Egypt, but far more ornate. Their
temples are marvels of construction and
OF beauty, not surpassed in the world
to this day. Their masonry-done
without metal instruments of any kind
was massive, intricately carved and
symmetrically built. While they did
not know the principles of the arch,
they made masonic archways by pro-
jecting layers of stones and cutting
the openings as wanted, even with the
shape of an inverted trefoil doorway,
suggesting Moorish design. Their or
namentation of masonry of the facades
OF great stone temples often BETRAYED

Aside from their art was their mar

the divisions of time-far more exact
than the Copernican system, yet with
out Galileo's telescope to aid them in
observing the planets. They oriented
their buildings exactly to the main
points of longitude and latitude, and
they created observation orifices in their
walls, great distances apart, which
caught the rays of the sun and GER
tain stars only at the solstice or other
vital moments of annual observation. BY
gazing through two of these far-divided
orifices the observer got the effect Of a
telescope view.

Two Straight for Connie,

Lacking in thrills, just another one
sided base ball game, the second con-
test in the 1929 world series between the
Philadelphia Athletics and the Chicago
Cubs passes into history as an easy
victory for the former. The score. nine
to three, tells the tale. There was only
one moment when the contest gave
promise Of being exciting, when the
faltering Earnshaw, Philadelphia
pitcher, went wild and filled the bases,
so that a single hard hit would have
made @ difference in the score. But
that moment passed without disaster to
the Athletics, and thereafter the only
question was whether Philadelphia
could get by with one pitcher or would
have TO use two. The latter was the
case. Another twirler went into the
box, a left-hander, thereby illustrating
again the unguessable quality Of the
Philadelphia manager. Cornelius Nc
Gillicuddy-better known as Connie
Mack-is one OF those base ball strate.

We vow our cares must cease.
Whenever anything goes wrong,
We call for the police.

Disturb city's peace,
And to send motors on their way
We call for the police.
And when the first page print is poo
In startling news release,
We find relief both swift and sure
And call for the police.
