A SPLENDID feature of the book
L n is the illustrations, which num-
Der seventy. These are arranged
chronologically, constituting, in ef-
feet, a pictorial record of the I'M
earthing and rebuilding of the Tenn
pie of the Warriors.
The first photograph shows
great mound of earth resembling a
small hill. Huge trees grow upon
its top and sides. Near the top
through the dense growth Of weeds
and bushes, there peeps fragment
of wall topped by a cornice.
This was the beginning of the
venture. That mound with its
growth of underbrush and trees
represented the ravagesy of time
upon some ancient Maya MASTER
piece. No one knew what pick and
shovel would reveal.
Subsequent pictures show how
the temple gradually was unearthed,
how broken-down columns were
hoisted back into place with block
and tackle, how ancient walls were
braced with steel beams and the
temple restored.
AS already said, Morris makes
the story fascinating. For example
he tells of the finding of a great
carved serpent's head.
"AS the diggers drew in upon the
area where the serpents' heads
should be, Rupert and I were as
restless as dogs which watch at the
mouth of a hole for a rabbit to be
poked out.
Manuel pried down a rough stone
and beyond it I saw CLINT of red.
Wait I ordered before another
blow could be struck, and took the
PICK IN my own hands.
In an interval that seems de-
void of duration as I look back upon
1t, had loosened earth and stone
from one entire side of the great
head, and willing hands had scraped
1t away behind me.

marred, in almost perfect condi-
ton"

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times: In President
Hoover's message, he urged the Lee
gionnaires to join the fight for eco
nomic stability, by not asking for
compensation due them. He did not
suggest the reduction of his or, even
the salaries of overpaid public office
holders.
Where did the senator who offer
ed million dollars for the relief
of the unemployed get his millions,
when the majority can not even get
enough to eat? He cannot say that
he earned them by being patriotic
citizen of these United States. Look
at the Public utilities They are just
like maggots, almost gobbling up
the people in their mad scramble
for more.
What good will all their wealth
do them? They cannot take it with
them when they depart this life.
According to the bible, they are
working for the devil. There always
is a just reward for the good or bad
which we do here on earth.
High taxes to meet unnecessary
expenditures of our nation, state,
and county will not lead us to the
goal we seek. Instead it will cause
the fight to last longer, and also
cause unnecessary suffering. If the
country as a whole was ruled by
God-fearing people, there would be
no reason for the present condition.
1t is no wonder the people disre-
gard the laws of the nation when
the office holders can do as they do
and are not punished. The world
will get worse as time moves on I'M
less there is a radical change.
Give the people a chance to work
who now are unemployed, by even
ing the working hours of those en-
ployed with them.
I am past IS years old and can
not buy job for love or money.
Why is it? Are we supposed to pay
taxes when we cannot earn the
money to pay them? Let someone
answer that question and a great
many people will be happier.

Romantic Story Of Maya Tenn
Piles reconstruction is Told
IN "The Temple of the
Warriors"
EOR all those who think romance
L has departed from the world Of
today, we hasten to prescribe an
early reading of The Temple of
the Warriors" by Earl H. Morris.
CThe book just has been published
by Scribners at So.
It tells the story of how a group
of trained Psychologists from the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
went into the heart of the ancient
Maya empire in Yucatan. Mexico,
dug into an old hill with the aid of
Maya Indian workmen, some of
whom bore the very names of the
ancient temple of spectacular
beauty, and then proceeded to re-
store it to its original glory.
History, from its earliest days, is
replete with the story of artistic
plundering. Every conquerer car
ried away the works of art of the
conquered.
The story of archaeology has not
been greatly different. The dis
coverer looted the kingdom Of time.

tant museum.
But the Carnegie psychologists
carried out a brand new idea.
They rebuilt the ruins of the an
cient temple upon the original site
Fallen columns were again erected
and cemented together. The scat
tered rocks of wall slowly were
fitted together, like gigantic picture
puzzles, until their murals once
more proclaimed their original
stories.
When they had finished five years
of work, the Temple of the Warriors
once more looked out proudly over
the green forests.

The Career of Edison Is
Without Precedent and
HIS Contributions to Life
Without q Parallel.
NEW YORK, oct. 19.-Turn out
IN the lights, stop the movies, and,
silence the monographs for mo-
ment.
In no other way can we make the
children of this generation under
stand what Edison did for them.
His career is without precedent,
his contributions to life without a
parallel.
He not only made things a lit
tie more comfortable and enjoy
able for people throughout the civil
lied world, but lived to see them
acknowledge it.
No man ever caused a more COM
plete revolution in the home, or
workshop No man ever remained
in the public eye by virtue of his
own activities and achievements for
a greater length of time.

j, S, Proud of Him

.NUTSIDE of the peculiar meth
" DDS by which he worked, Edi-
son was a rather normal man. That
has endeared him to the public.
It is reassuring to know that
genius does not necessarily imply
freakishness, especially with regard
to political and social life.
America is proud of the fact that
her greatest inventor and, perhaps,
the greatest inventor of the age,
lived a long, happy life in accord
ance with her highest ideals and
best traditions, that his romance
lasted through, that his family
circle held together, and that he
died surrounded by those who loved
him.

Dream Is Realized

THE Temple of the Warriors
Il stands among the ruins of
Chichen liza, the old Maya metrop-
Oils. The city has held the atten-
ton of Psychologists since the latter
half of the nineteenth century.
For many years it was the. dream
Of DR.. Sylvanus G.. Morley to carry
on excavations in Chichen liza upon
a scale never before tried. Morley
is one of the three great authorities
upon Maya Archaeology other
two are Spinden and Tozzer.
DR.. John c. Merriam, president
of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, negotiated arrange
ments with the Mexican govern
ment which permitted DR.. Morley
to head an expedition into Chichen
liza in 1924.
Morris went along with Morley
as director of excavations. Morris
had been born in New Mexico. At
the age of he played with bits of
pottery and other relics of ancient
Indian civilization which literally
mad peen dug up in his own back
yard. 1t seems he was a born
archeologist.
He graduated from the University
of Colorado and embarked upon
career of archaeological work.
In THE Temple of the Warriors"
he proves himself as excellent a
writer as he is an archeologist. He
tells the story clearly and concisely.
He creates for the reader the at
mosphere of present-day Yucatan
and of ancient Maya.
He makes the most of each dra-
matte situation without any attempt
to pump artificial excitement into
them. In brief, his book is fascinat-
ing reading.

Nothing Turned His Head

ID ADICAL as Edison may have
IN been in his scientific ideas and
eccentric as he may have appeared
when tense over some problem, he
was a solid, substantial man.
He lived in one place and kept
his workshop in one place for more
than half a century. Neither fame
nor fortune turned his head to the
end.
He was more interested in what
he could put into life than in what
he could get out of it. To the end,
he had the good sense to realize
that the nearest approach we poor
mortals ever can make to happi-
ness comes through self-expresSion,
not in satisfying our cravings, but
in the employment of our abilities.

DREVIOUS to 1927, undulant
l. fever in man was regarded in
the United States much as one
would have regarded other disease
curiositieS.
During 1929, cases of the disease
were recorded in every state. IN
questionably this signifies a far
greater number of cases than &C
tually we're recorded, because con-
f1rmation of the presence of this
disease depends on an examination
of the blood that can be made only
by a competent laboratory.
Thus, Walter Simpson announces
that he has investigated 1913 cases
of this disease around Dayton, Co.,
during the last two and half
years.
The disease is probably much
more prevalent than generally is
believed, and a large number of
cases can be found whenever a spe-
cial search is made for them.
In the great majority of cases
seen by DR.. Simpson, the taking of
raw milk containing the organism
of contagious abortion of cattle was
demonstrated to be the source of
the infection.

He Proved Things

VOU can fall back on the alb
Il stract and prove that Edison was
not a great scientist. He advanced
no theory for some later genius to
upset and propounded no hypothesis
of creation for hired scholars to
argue about.
His work consisted in the prac-
teal application of known, or sup
posed, principles.
While others debated the theory
of sound waves, he proved it by in
venting the photograph, and while
others speculated on the possibility
of an incandescent lamp, he per-
fected one that would work.

His Life an Illustration

MARVIN said that the mystery
- of all things is in the begin
ming, and one could ask for no bet
ter illustration than Edison.
A country school rejected him as
impossible and a telegraph company
dismissed him as incompetent.
Toward the end of his life, he
attempted to pick a successor by
subjecting a carefully selected quo
ia of young men to competitive tests
and examinations.
No one ever picked him that way,
and he probably would have failed
had it been tried.
We can raise the average intelli-
gence through educational systems,
but we can not produce genius, or
ever recognize it.
Men who have led the world mock
our assumptions and efforts in this
direction.

Came at The Moment

WITHOUT the peculiar back
w ground into which he emerged,
Edison might have proved a COM
plete failure.
Without Edison, the present era
would not be quite what it is.
There was reciprocity between the
man and his generation-a singu-
larry favorable atmosphere, uniting
with singularly appropriate talent.
He came on the scene at mo-
ment when the world wanted Moth
ing SO badly as man of his type,
when the appetite for novelty had
been whetted just enough to make
it keen.
But when we have said all that,
what have we explained?

It's a Deep Secret

EDISON is gone. Who will take
II his place? Maybe no one for
several generations.
Even those who deny the in
fuence of heredity will admit that
such men are not born every day.
How do they happen to be born
at all? What peculiar combination

duce them?
That is a secret which we are as

And we can go cooperating from the outside
if that will suit Japan any better In fact there is
some question to right to accept league prv-
leges without assuming responsibilities, which the
state department is unwilling to do
But the matter of cooperating with the league
has nothing to do with the Kellogg pact Japan has
perfect technical right to insist as she is doing that
1t is not for the league to invoke the pact with which
1t has no connection, but for the sgnatores of the
pact such.
Why the state department has failed for four weeks
to invoke its own Kellogg pact-as it did two years
ago in the Manchurian crisis between China and
Russa-is a mystery. Why it must go to the league
council meeting of all places with the sole expressed
purpose of invoking the Kellogg pact, is greater
mystery
When the history of this secret diplomacy comes
to be written, probably it will be found that the
state departments stupid policy toward Russia was
partly to blame.
Because Russia is a Kellogg pact signatory any
normal invoking of the pact would force the state
department to cooperate with Russia But since
Russia is not league member, the United States
can maneuver the league into acting under the pact
without letting Russia into the picture.
That is costly blunder. Russia has a big stake
IN Manchuria. There be no international united
front without Russia. The net effect of keeping out
Russia has been to play into the hands of Japan
not only on the technical point, but on the much
more important consideration that japan is left free
to bargain for Russias support
If Japan ever does obtain Russian sllnnort in Man
churia, she can and will do pretty much as she peases
and laugh at the league and the United States.
But-though state department. plumbers may
muddy the situation and give Japan technical ex-
cuses-nothing that the United States or any other
nation has done can clear Japan of the basic re-
sponsibility for this war emergency.
Even if Japan were innocent of military agrees
sion-which world opinion does not adrit-there can
be no legitimate for Japan's refusal to permit
the midest form of international and neutral CO.
the conflict Japan is to blame for preventing
settlement
That is madness Military power in Manchuria
is not worth as much to Japan as world friendship
Japan may be able to defy weak and divided China
but she can not defy world opinion with safety.
One of the few really hopeful developments in
world affairs during the last five years has been the
growing world trust of Japan. Especially in the
United States the old suspicion of Japan-caused by
the twenty-one demands on China and similar ag-
gression-almost had disappeared
American opinion had come to the point where
it was about ready to wipe out our insult to Japan
in immigration discrimination. Official American
japanese friendship real-and the chief prop
of peace in the Pacific.
Now japan willing to sacrifice the conf
dence of the world in general and the United States
in particular rather than permit outside cooperation
to restore the peace wrecked by Japanese mtarists
No good can come of such policy
