INDIAN
GRAVES SFOUND

MAsKELL, Neb., Feb. 6 d.N.s.).
A human burial ground, presumably
that of early Indians. was uncov.
cred here recently. by two boys,
Lee and Byron Anderson, while
digging out skunks on hill on the
Oscar Benson farm, two miles north
of Maskell.
Investigation and further exca.
walton of the spot has brought to
light more than half dozen skele.
tons, practically all of which are
in good state of preservation. A
number of the skeletons are those
of children, giving rise to the be-
lief that the spot may have been
an Indian village burial ground.
: However. the bones unearthed
thus far, indicate that the bodies
had been inferred hurriedly. as there
is no senblance of order.
Some persons think that a pes
thence might have visited the tribe
with fatal results, necessitating a
hurried burial. Several pieces OF
pottery were found with the bones
and all were buried only foot or
two under the ground. Flint in
struments such as arrowheads and
axes have been found before on the
Benson farm.

The timeliness of the question Is
clearly indicated If one will but
take q look at the fuel induction
systems of various 1929 cars. The
choke is there, but in a revised
form, The revision, for the most
part, is in the direction of making
this vital feature function auto.
matically.
Not all manufacturers have made
this change. Several, in a cons1d-
cradle range of price class. have
done so however. The number is
sufficiently large and the spread
over the field is great enough to
indicate that, perhaps, the choke
may be something quite different
throughout the whole list within a
very short time.
Called For Change
One reason why this change in
the choke is being overlooked is
that it is merely part of several
broad revisions that are taking
place In carburetion and manifolding
in an effort to provide the modern
high speed, high power engine with
the fuel it needs at precisely the
right time and in the exact quantity
needed. The gesture toward i'm.
proved choking, then, may be lost
in the larger revision unless one
goes definitely in search of it.
There has been no question in
the mind of many engineers and
service experts that the choke called
for a change.
These groups have lifted their
voices for years in warning against
the evil of overlooking. The
warning has borne fruit. of course,
Never. though, has a 100 per cent
crop been achieved Always there
have been certain number of car
owners who mishandled the choke.
Closing it in cold weather starting,
they have forgotten all about it
with the result that raw gasoline
found it's way into the combustion
chamber thence down the cylinder
walls and into the crankcase,
As the gasoline took this course,
1t succeeded in effacing the oil film
on the cylinder wall and then went
on to the crankcase where it robbed
the oil of the viscosity it vitally
needs for proper fabrication.
Many car owners, actual survey
shows, always have been under the
impression that when the weather
is cold. the choke always must be
left partially closed.
Controlled BY Engine
In the face of the vast amount
of evidence of choke abuse, and,
despairing of ever educating all of
motordom in its correct use, some
engineers have set about taking the
whole matter out of the drivers
hands.
One popular line of cars this year
utilizes choke arrangement where
by the heat of the engine automat-
fcally opens the valve as soon as
the proper operting temperature has
been reached. In still another in
stance, the manufacturer of five.
different lines of six and eight cyl
inder products has interconnected
the throttle and choke in such
way that the evil of flooding the
carburetor is prevented.
This arrangement also has the
virtue of. eliminating the tendency
