HE flrst IDEA tnat comes 70 "niu ~
thinking of Peru is the marvellous
legend of the Inca Empire, which
fiourished throughout that region
- when America had not yet become
America No matter how many centuries may
PASS after the last descendant OF the 1ncas mas
ceased to tread the Peruvian mountain trails,
the name of Peru viii forever evoke pictures OF
that wonderful civilization, only now becoming
known through historical and archaeological dls-
coveries. They are so intimately linked that It
would seem impossible to attempt any oeScr1p-
ton or discussion of modern Peru without going
back to those long-gone days when Peru was
land Of incalculable wealth and splendor, the
seat Of an indigenous civilization unriVaieo IN
the Southern continent.
When the Spanish cOnquerors whom Column
bus landed In America reached the heart OF the
continent they found In the region now occu-
pied by the republics Of Peru, Bolivia and Ecua-
dor q vast empire Of bronze-skinned men,
speaking an unknown tongue and possessing
extraordinary attachments in knowledge and
culture an original type of civilization, very
different from that Of Europe.
The Incas had so complete q knowledge Of
astronomy, geometry and other branches OF
mathematics, as well IS of arts and crafts,
that they astounded the European invaders,
who had thought themselves the only civilized
people on the planet. In Tiahuanacu, for ex-
ample which is now In Bolivia, the Incas had
constructed, In the Gate Of the SUM-" q SyS-
tenn for measuring time, based on the solar
movements, more perfect than those IN use
today. Also by means of an efncient system
of signals the orders Of the Inca Emperor
were transmitted to points throughout the EN-
pire with incredible rapidity, as 1t seemed TO
their conquerors, who spent months in COM
municating with other groups OF explorers.
The Inca buildings also were mastery products
Of engineering skil, even revealing artistic
feeling and good taste Lastly, and most sur
prising of al, the Inca Empire had long ex-
listed under . social system far beyond any
thing known ct that time with laws Is 10
property, the rights Of the community and the
organization Of labor that greatly resemble our
modern theories Of communism. An this
showed degree Of culture remarkable In q
people dwelling completely isolated from any
other civilization, unknown to the rest Of the
world.
HOWEVER, modern PeTu's prestige and
wealth rest upon more solid foundations
than the memory Of those days Of by-gone
splendor, of which there remain but some ruins

Ba6cock Test for Mill.

THE Babcock test, boon to all dairymen and
farmers. was perfected IN 1890 by Prof.
s. NJ. Babcock of the Wisconsin Experimental
Station.
Farmers and milk station operators had long
felt the need for q rapid means of determining
the butterfat content of the milk delivered at
the stations The Babcock test filed the need.
It consists Of mixing equal quantities of milk
and sulphuric acid. The acid. which does not
react with the butterfat. does dissolve the other
solids in the milk, the heat resulting from this
action causing the fat to melt and run together.
The mixing is done in vase-hke bottles which
have small and graduated neck. After the
mixture has been made, the bottles are placed
in a centrifuge. an apparatus for whirling the
bottles at speeds as high as 2,000 revolutions q
minute This rapid motion throws the solids
to the bottom Of the bottle and the fat to the
top, the fat is lighter than the rest of the
milk. BY reading the graduations on the neck
of the bottle quick and accurate determination
Of the butterfat is obtained.

dustry land that Is becoming more and more
beautiful and prosperous.
Peru is today republic, governed under its
constitution by the usual three branches-the
executive, administered by the President and
his minister's the legislative, composed Of the
Senate and Chamber Of Deputies, and the
judicial, composed Of the various courts
throughout the country. The republic dates
from 1922 when IL years of armed struggle
eliminated in independence from the crown Of
Spain, after Q domination of four centuries.
From that time, and aside from two major
events temporary union with Bolivia, FERN

her of great extensions Of territory-the his

Regarding some of our American conditions and

New York has too many skyscrapers and too few

Speaking of unemployment, which presents diff

give jobs first to men, and if married is employ

job to one person in each family.

Georgia Heavyweight 81
Choice Over Griffith in
Friday Tilt.
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-One, and
possibly two, Of the leading con-
tenders for the world heavyweight
championship will be eliminated
Friday when w. L. (Young) Strib-
ling and Gerald CTuffy) Griffith
meet at Chicago stadium in a ten
round decision bout.
Presumably the bout will decide
Max Schmeling's opponent for his
first title defense.
Possibility of both fighters bowling
out of the championship picture. at
least temporarily. is not remote as
might be supposed.
Both Griffith and Stribling are
notorious lin and cutters" and if
they should combine to stage a
bout even one-half as poor as some
of those they have taken part in.
it would be fatal to their titular
aspirations.
Stribling, rightly enough, is a
2 to : betting favorite. His claim
to superiority is based on his long
experience, a remarkable string of
victories, and punch in either
hand.
