1880! Doesn't it look queer? But
in few days we will be writing II
as nonchalantly as we ever wrote
1929. And what about the New Year,
How many have made resolutions
and are they annual ones that you
keep, or do you make them just to
break them? One is not his neigh
boris keeper, so that leaves us just
ourselves to look out for in the new
year and may the end of it find us
Just as happy as we are at the pres
ent sitting.

INDIAN POMPEII
FOUND IN WEST
Houses Are Found Beneath
Volcanic Ash Layer.
BIZ Science Serrice

By Science Serrice
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Sept. 8-Evi-
dence of an Indian Pompeii, buried
under a fall of black volcanic ash
by the last eruption of Sunset era
ter, more than 1900 years ago, has
been discovered near here by an
expedition from the museum of
northern Arizona.
"We tentatively date the eruption
between 500 and TOO A. d." DR..
Harold S. Cotton, leader of the ex-
pedition, announced to Science
Service.
Searching within five miles of
Sunset crater, the expedition un-
covered prehistoric sites represent
ing three stages of Indian life in
the southwest. These are late Bas-
ket Maker Indians, and the first
and second stages of Pueblo culture,
which succeeded the basket making
age.
Over the sites inhabited by the
two older groups is the sinister black
blanket. Not one of the thirteen
pithouses of the second Pueblo per-
iod shows any trace of the ash.
Much good charcoal has been re-
covered, so the sites later may be
dated accurately by the three-ring
method of DR.. A. E. Douglas of the
University of Arizona" DR.. Cotton
said.

CHARITY BRINGS
|. INSANITY AND
EARLY DEATH
Thanksgiving Day Mercy
Deed Is Darkened by
Needless Motorist.

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. = Charles
Adams was So and poor, but he had
much to be thankful for the last
Thursday in last November.
Adams was happy that morning.
He had little money, but he had a
job, was healthy and had friends.
Before he sat down at his board
ing house to eat his Thanksgiving
dinner. he thought of poor widow
who lived nearby and who didn't
ave as much to be thankful for
as he had.
Carrying a basket of food, he
started to the widows home. All
automobile ran him down, broke
both his legs and fractured his
skull.
Several persons saw the motorist
stop, pick Adams up, place him in
the car and drive away, supposedly
to a hospital. A few hours later
the injured man was found in an
alley several blocks away.
Adams was taken to Oak Forest
inhrmary. He became paralyzed.
Then worry over his injuries and
grief over being a helpless charity
patient drove him insane. He was
taken to the state hospital for the
insane at Dunning.
He died Sunday.
The motorist who ran over him
and then threw his broken body
into an alley has never been found.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-vice-
President Curtis issued today an in
dignant denial following publication
of a copyrighted article in the
Washington Post in which Major
Maurice Campbell, former New
York prohibition director, linked his
name with the exertion of official
influence in behalf of alcohol with
drawal permits.
Curtis, in his statement to the
United Press, written personally in
long-hand, expressed "amazement"
and made general denial that his
influence as a senator prior to his
election as Vice-President was used
for the purpose of securing alcohol
permits as alleged by Major Camp
| bell"
Campbell's article, the first of a
series on prohibition enforcement
conditions in the east, said "the
Vice Presidents campaign manager
in New York, backed by his influ-
ence in Washington, made my life
miserable with pressure to issue al
cohol permits to companies which
i'll my view were dubious"
"I never have used my influence,
either directly or indirectly, to have
such a permit issued, and If my
name was used by any one, 1t was
done without my knowledge or con-
sent" said Curtis.

U. S. FEARS new
TARIFF ATTACK
FROM CANADA
Parliament Meeting Today,
Expected to Take More
RetaIiatory Action.
BIZ ScriDps- II oicard Newspaper Alliance

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Repub-
lican political leaders today are
casting anxious eyes toward Ottawa,
where the Canadian parliament is
being convened in a special session,
in which further adverse tariff ac-
ton against the United States may
be taken.
Canada already has taken re-
taiatory action which, it is esti-
mated, will decrease our Canadian
trade by $225, 100000 annually. Re-
publican leaders fear that any fur
ther retaliatory moves by the Ca
madam government may affect fall
elections adversely.
just before passage Of the Haw-
ley-Smoot bill, Canada increased
rates on eighty-seven items of i'm
port. She levied countervailing
duties on livestock, meats, -four,
many grains, and large number
of dairy and agricultural products.
More than 100 items were placed
on its free list for Great Britain.
Rates on ninety-eight items i'm
ported from nations with which it
has commercial treaties were re-
duced.
Although today's special session of
parliament was called oStensibly by
Premier Bennett for consideration
of the unemployment problem,
American officials stationed in Can
ada have informed their chiefs here
that further tariff action may be
taken. Such report has been re-
ceived at the department of COM
merce from Commercial Attache
Lynn w. Meekins, stationed at Ot-
taWa.
Today'S session will mark the first
time the new conservative govern
ment of Canada will have oppor-
tunity of acting on the tariff issue,
as the other changes were put into
effect by the Liberals, in power until
the election of July %.
No action to Offset the tariff in
creases ordered by the Liberal gov
ernment can be expected from the
Canadian Conservatives, as one of
the main planks in this party's plat
form pledged it "to foster and sup
port a plan for greater empire trade,
based upon mutual advantage"

BABIES DEATH RATE
IS LOWERED IN u. S.
Toll Under One Year of Age Is 81
to 1000 Births.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The death
rate Of babies during the first year
of life has decreased considerably
lin this country during the last fif-
teen years. At present the rate is
81 per 1000 births.
This does not yet equal the very
low rate of New Zealand, which has
for years held the record in the
matter of low infant death rate.
There the present rate is 36 per
1000.
This means that only 81 per
cent of all the children born die
before the year is out" report by
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company explains. I'm our own
country the figure is nearer z per
cent but this represents the remark
able gain of 80 per cent since 1915,
when the birth registration area
was established and infant mortality
figures became available for large
parts of the United States"
The present United States rate
compares favorably with those of
most other advanced countries.

EVANSTON, Ill, Sept. st
T. took Eugene Monroe cage,
over 70; occupation, none; ad-
dress, same) only an hour to play
his way into the Evanston Jail,
but five hours to play his way out
again.
A stern policeman found Monroe,
a gray-haired wanderer, sitting
on curb in the rain, playing a
harmonica like the policeman had
never heard one played before.
The officer, his sternneSS
gradually disappearing under the
spell of the aged tramps music,
listened for an hour, then led a
two man parade to the police
station as Monroe, never stopping,
swinging through Yankee Doodle
Dandy and the National Emblem
march. There, out of the rain,
the old man continued his con-
cert.
For five hours he played swing
ing from one selection to another
without a break. Some of the
tunes were gay, but most of them
were sad.
Six prisoners stood it as long
as they could, then arose in unison
and the music was lost in the
pleas they shouted to the jailer.
TAKE him out" they cried,
cant you see he's breaking our
hearts! Isn't it sad enough to be
in Jail without having to stand
for this"
So the policeman led another
march, this one toward the city
limits, and when last seen, Mon
roe was walking west, still playing
the harmonica, still happy.
1t had stopped raining.
