Gaming Shifts
Site AT Juarez

JUAREz, Mex, July 81 O.P0-
The Americans are doing more of
their drinking and gambling now
just where the state Of Chihuahua
wants them to indulge.
The campaign to tell Americans
where to drink and gamble has
ended in victory for Governor An
dres Ortiz, of Chihuahua, although
for time a general strike in Juar-
ez was threatened as a protest.
Gambling is said to have in
creased four-fold at the Casino Tur-
ista international. Business in the
uptown saloons also is said to have
picked up.
The reason the governor was SO
silicitous about business in the up
town section Of Juarez is that it is
from those sources that the state
gains most of it's tax revenue. And
right now, politicians say, it is i'm
perative that the states income be
increased because the states cof-
fers are low.
So to fill the treasury again the
governor took drastic steps to in
crease business up:own here. When
he was at first unsuccessful in hav-
ing the Santa F'e street bridge clos
ed to pedestrians coming from El
Paso, he decreed that II saloons
near the bridge must close at 9 o.
clock nightly. His object in closing
the bridge to pedestrians was to
force them to go across the Stan
ton street bridge and thus 60 thru
town instead of patronizing the sa-
looms near the other bridge.
Then the labor unions threaten
ed a general strike in Juarez unless
the saloons were allowed to remain
open until midnight as formerly.
A compromise was arranged where
by American pedestrians are not
permitted to cross the Santa Fe

Dean Cummings
Visits Mayan Ruins

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA,
I Tucson, July 31.-That archeologists
working in Central America will
soon be able to state with authority
that there was no break in the May
an civilization from 100 B. C. un-
til about 1850 A. D. is the belief of
Dean Byron Cummings, head of the
archaeology department at the Uni
versity of Arizona.
Dean Cummings has returned
from seven weeks study of Mayan
ruins in Yucatan and Mexico and
declares that recent discoveries are
revolutio1lizing theories in regard
to the old Central American civil
iZation.
Until the present time it has been
held that the Mayan civilizatio first
centered in Guatemala Then there
was break of a few centuries and
a migration to Yucatan. Recent dis
that the civilization is continuous.
Dean Cummings visited all of the
notable ruins, paying particular at
tention to the ruins at Chichen Itza
in Yucatan. While there he visited
with Carl Rupert, University of Ari-
zona graduate, who is connected
with the Carnegie Institute.
The Cummings party were also
introduced to the work of the health
clinic that is maintained in Yucca
tan. Through a study Of present ma
tive diseases this clinic is attempt
ing to solve the mystery of what
caused the decadence Of the Mayan
civilization.
The party returned by way of

This yield is held to be the low

single exception of that of New Mex
leo. It is further stated that al
though the climate of Arizona is not
ideal for potato culture except at
the higher attitudes, poor seed and
the prevalence of potato diseases
have as much or more to do with
the low yield.
Both of these factors are said to
be within the possibility of control.
The authors recommend careful Sc

the general use of disinfectants be-
living that this program will result

Soldiers and Sharpers

Perhaps the Queerest Of all the sto-
ries of old thieves words is that Of the
expression "forlorn hope" Nowadays,
1t is perfectly respectable, and means
a last, desperate chance. 1t passed
into ordinary speech from military
books, in which couple Of centuries
ago it was used to describe an attack
made by small party Of men who de-
liberately sacrificed themselves In or
der that the main body might be vic
torious. The army borrowed the word
from the cardsharpers' jargon Of Eliz-
nhethan days. The forlorn hope was
an accomplish who took part In game
Of cards and deliberately lost in order
to whet the appetites of dupes and 50
To make his confederates certain of
winning. Every three-card trick man
today employs one or more "forlorn
hopes."-LondOn Tlt-Bits.

Death Alone Ends Duel
Between Fighting Fish

Siamese fighting fish have red fins,
which they wave at friend or enemy,
If they ever had a friend. These fish
are known to the trade as Beta Cam
bogdia and in Siam they are trained
to battle in the manner Of cock-fghting.
Natives of Siam are fond Of Beta
Cambogdia battles.
They take two males and put them
in separate bowls of water. Then
they bring out a bowl full of females,
placing it between the two combatants.
The males stare rather resentfully
at each other for a bit. Then they
gradually start getting nasty. They
begin churning up the water, waving
their red fins and looking daggers at
each other. Finally, when their wrath
reaches the stage that they've either
got to fight or explode, they are tossed
into the same tank.
From then on the action is fast. The
Beta Cambogdia take their fighting
seriously and there are no rest periods
nor long counts. They fight until one
or the other is dead.

Seeds Retain Vitality
for Hundreds of Years

When buildings are demolished, city
dwellers are astonished at the won
derful crops of grass and wild flowers
that appear.
On a large piece of ground behind
the buildings on the west side of Lon
don's Russell square, which has been
boarded in for some years, one can
find over dozen species Of wild flow
ers. These appeared in the spring and
summer Immediately after the old
buildings had been cleared away.
We are told by some that the seeds
are carried by birds, but it seems more
than strange that such profuslon or
wild flowers could burst into life by
the agency of the London sparrows and
pigeons. sa.
The true explanation, says a writer
in London Tit-Bits, is that the seeds
have been lying dormant in the ground
for hundreds of years, and these flow
ers are the descendants Of those that
were picked by the people in the Mid
die ages.
Proof of this is found in an In
stance which occurred recently in the
Strand. A building many hundreds OF
years old was demolished, and soor
afterwards the green rosettes of the
| willow herb appeared. The seeds
| could not have been transported there
by the wind, for when the willow herl
was seeding in the country outside
London, the building was still standing

Personality Not Thing
for "Hand Cultivation"

Entertaining articles the reader may
often see telling how to develop per
sonality; but be careful whom you
practice on. Personality Is something
you do not have premeditatedly. 1t
Is too elusive for that. Truth is, you
do not know that you have it until
others tell you so.
The kind of personality you "culti-
vate" is rather artificial; and the vic
Tins Of 1t are Infatuated when they
detect that they are the guinea pigs
on whom 1t is being tried.
Our inexpert advice is to let your
personality alone Try to be kind,
generous and sympathetic and permit
your personality to take care of itself.
Like your complexion, which you must
leave to Its face, after you have en-
deavored to follow the rules for good
health, "thought-about" personality
hazards being overdone. 1t becomes
an exhibition; and that will never do.

Colonists Simply Had
to Have Warming Pans

Whatever luxuries the COlonists
thought they could dispense with when
they reached the New world, 1t was
certainly not the old warming pans.
They were common In England, with
their varied ornamentation, during the
Seventeenth century. Some Of them
were adorned with scrolls Of foliage,
or In the case Of the finer examples
the brass cover was cut through in
perforated openwork. Dashing cav
alters, gracious ladies and flowers
were of iron fitted into wood, but the
best pieces were mounted with brass.
The usual diameter Of the pan was
IA inches.
The COlonists no doubt brought their
warming pans with them as they came
over and sent for a new style with
their various orders to England. as
they did with most everything else.
But. OF course. 1t should be taken into
consideration that the warming pans
were very servlceabl1 and not so easy
to wear out.

Chinaman Put Forward
a as Inventor of Chess

Many theories are put forward as
to the origin of chess. ~.
Whether 1t was invented by the Chi
nese, the Hindus, the Persians, or the
Greeks, it is quite certain that the
game is over 1900 years old, as it has
been mentioned in manuscripts written
Is centuries ago. ... III s.r.s 2.
A Chinese general of long ago, Han
sing by name, has been credited in
some quarters with Its invention.
The generals armies were invading
the country of the Shansi where, dur
ing the summer time, his troops were
satisfied with their lot, but amidst the
heavy SHOWS of winter much discOn-
tent arose.
To allay this feeling Of unrest, it Is
laid that the general, after much
bought, invented a game which he
allied chong-hi, or the royal game.
Clever chess players in the Fifteenth
md Sixteenth centuries were very i'm
portant personages, with places at
court, and the added title Of 'royal
hess player" ..t .ls.f....-
One such was Spaniard, Ruy Lo-
peg, a name familiar to all students
Of the game, who was supposed to be
invincible, and who lived in great style
at Madrid. r 4fs
But youth named Leonardo, after
beating a pirate chief at the game
(and thereby rescuing his brother, who
had been held to ransom), proceeded
to the capital and beat the master be-
fore the assembled court of Spain.

The ORIGINAL Athlete.

No ancient literature in the world
contains so many descriptions of sport
as the old Morse sagas. Greater as
siduity was shown by the Vikings in
perfecting themselves in strength of
body and limb than in cultivating their
mind. Their principal sports consist
ed of racing, running, leaping of vari-
Gus kinds, wrestling, ski-running, tugs
of-war and throwing the spear, fenc-
ing with sword and also many ball
games. Skiing today is the Swedes'
national pastime, more so than it is
that of the Swiss. The Swedes have
long exercised supremacy in the do.
main of gymnastics. Swedish gymnas-

the most efficient and valuable physi-
cal culture system so far devised by
man. There are few places in the
world where winter sports can be prac,
