1881 CIVIC annual
OF WIDE INTEREST
Third Edition Being Distrib-
uted-ForeWord by Sec
rotary Wilbur.

With foreword by DR.. Ray Lyman
Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, the
third annual edition of the American
Civic Annual, edited by Miss Harlean
James, executive secretary Of the Amer
lean Civic Association, is Just being dis
tributed to members.
Approximately 40 Government OH
cials, city planners, road officials and
legislators have contributed to make
this a record of recent civic advance
throughout the country. Each year the
annual takes up new range of topics
and this year it emphasizes. on the
one hand. some Of the more stupendous
beauties Of nature unspoiled, as in the
great national parks, and on the other
side, the necessity of making the cities
more useful. more wholesome and more
enjoyable by intelligent planning.
Introduction by DelanO.
In the introduction to the volume
Frederic A. Delano. president Of the
American Civic Association, said: "Wt
want to see every village and towr
preserve all it can of the natural ad
vantages of its location. 1t is clearly
right that New York should make the
most of its water front on the majestic
Hudson, and also of it's rocky hills and
promontories; that Chicago should play
up its wonderful shora-front on Lake
Michigan: that Washington should con-
serve its hills and forested valleys and
Its river front. But this is equally
true, to a greater or less degree. Of
every town and hamlet in our broad
land. Intelligent planning should
know how to make the most Of these
natural resources Of our country and
preserve the individuality which distin
cuisines one town from another Let us
never suggest that Standardization be
carried to the absurd extreme that one
cannot tell one town from another"
Variety of Discussion.
The national forests. State reserva-
lions. the aroused consciousness in the
matter of roadside beauty. are all dis
cussed in the annual by the Civic As
ISOLATION family. Secretary Wilbur, in
his foreword, discusses briefly the
national parks. There are other arti-
Giles by Horace M Albright, director Of
the National Park Service. and other
officials of the Interior Department and
State conservation boards, all dealing
with the great park system.
What Maryland has done to protect
the natural beauty Of its roadsides by
legislating to tax and otherwise reg
ulate billbosrds and other forms of de-
Secrat ting outdoor advertising is told in
articles by Lavinia Engle, member of
the Maryland House of Delegates, and
another member, Oliver Metzerott,
through whose combined efforts the
legislation was passed Albert S. Bard.
vice chairman and general counsel of
the National Council for Protection of
Roadside Beauty. has also contributed
an analysis of the progress in billboard
control through court decisions.

SOUTH AMERICAN BUSH INDIAN
TRACED TO JUNGLES OF CONGO
Relics Brought to Museum by Maryland
Former Student Reveals Trans r
planted Culture.

TSansplanting of an aboriginal culture
half way around the world is revealed
in an unusual collection just received
by the National Museum from an almost
unknown people, the bush Indians Of
Northern South America.
This collection of articles of magic
and of decorations and household i'm
plementS was brought to Washington
by w. A. Archer, former University Of
Maryland student, who went to Co.
lumbia as an agricultural teacher and
took up jungle exploring Independently
when his contract expired. Archer
largely unknown country, where the
bush Negroes, descendants of slaves, are
the principal inhabit2 hts.
The collection shows, say National
Museum ethnolcgists, that these people
preserved almost intact the art and
folkways of the Congo jungl.s, in spite
of their violent transition. The deli
cate wood carving, considered highly
artistic, is almost duplicate of what
might have been found in the Congo
villages OF 200 years ago. The magical
implements show The persistence of the
same fundamental ideas of nature.
Clash With Indians.
When the bush Negroes began to
establish themselves in the Choco coun-
try, it was pointed out, they claShsd
with the Indians and evidently came
out ahead. They took over everything
worth while in the Indian arts without
giving up anything of their own. This
indicates, it was pointed out, that they
probably were people of superior in
telligence and development
This culture, according to Herbert
Krieger, curator of ethno,osy, appears to
be far purer than that of the Negro
population of Haiti, which is overladen
with ideas derived from the white men
and which has attracted much attention
of late years because of its sensational
religious and magical rites. In the
Choco country. he explained. the bush
Negroes APPEAR to have set up again the
identical Congo gods.
A notable object collected by Archer
is a medicine boat filled with figurines
who are believed to carry away the
spirits responsible for various illnesses.
This he recovered in the hut of native
whose children were using the flgurineS
for dolls and already had lost some Of
them
Accessions of Significance.
Some of the most significant of the
recent acceSsions to the museum collec-
ticn have been found in the material
gathered by the late Victor j. Evans.
Among the articles are plaster models
taken from life of Two-Guns White
Calf, famous B,ackfoot Indian, and of

the famous Sioux chieftain, Sitting Bull.
The latter is now dead, but TWO Guns
still comes to Washington and visits the
museum occasionally. His chief occupa-
ton now, museum officials say, is ad-
vertising Glacier National Park.
Another valuable part of the Evans
collection is composed Of the sacred rel
les of the Delaware Indians. These IN
clude silver pipe given to the cnlels
of the tribe, then inhabiting Ohio, as
a peace Offering by Gen. William H2nrY
Harrison, later to become President. IN
addition there are other ceremonial
pipes, war clubs and talismen. There
is also a va'uabls collection Of Indian
tewe'ry gathered from the Navajo,
Pueblo and Aracanian Tribes.
Collection of Dresses.
Miss Frances Densmors OF the Bureau
OF American Ethnology has just sent to
the museum a collection of the dresses
of Seminole women which she gathered
while studying the native music in
Florida last Winter. 1t is curious. Mr..
Krieger points out, that this swamp
dwelling people have developed SO ne
thing Strikingly like the costumes OF
European peasant women. embroidering
highly colored cotton cloth with geo.
metric figures which look like picto-
graphs. This Is largely development
of the recent past. since the Semmoles
split off from the Greek tribe when the
latter we're removed to the Oklahoma
reservation.
The museum also has just received
unique example of highly artistic imita-
ton bead work made of porcupine
quilts by some Indian tribe in the in
terror of British Colu nbia. This, Mr..
Krieger says, was an Independently de-
velopedN American art which hitherto
has been practically unknown to science.
The resemblance to bead work is so
close as to puzzle experts and the secret
OF how the porcupine quilts were strung
together was found only after close ex-
animation.
Honduran Coast Materials.
Another valuable recent accession is
a quantity of material from the almost
mythical Mosquito Indians of the Hon
duras coast. This consists OF decorated
gourds, hammocks, fish arrows and
spears, believed to be quite similar to
those in use among the West Indian
natives when they were, first seen by
white men.
The museum also has received large
amount of material from the Bagobo
tribe of the island of Mindanao in the
Philippines, consisting of brass imple-
ments, betel nut boxes. rice chow pots.
and some wierd baskets used by the
head hunters to carry their gruesome
trophies.

sells and debris caught in these natural
sea lanes often play uncanny tricks.
In 1905 the Stanley Dollar, an Amer
lean freighter, went upon the rocks at
the entrance Of Yokohama Bay
In 1911 two of her life preservers
we're picked up along the shores Of
the Shetland Islands. How they
reached there is one of the puzzling
questions that so often arise about the
sea. Did they sweep up the Asiatic
coast, through Boring Strait, and then
through the Northwest Passage and
Baff1n Bay, and thence by Iceland to
the Shetland Islands? Or did they,
after floating through the Northwest
Passage, get into the Polar Current
and float down the Atlantic TO the

Ships Go 70 bottom.
"A question often asked Is whether
ship. sinking In deep water, goes to
the bottom. or whether she finds her
drifts on forever. This question
sprang into great prominence when
the Titanic went down and was asked
again frequently during the World
War. The answer is. she goes directly
to the bottom. else how could a dredge
or trawl be sent down five miles?
"One of the strange things that
happens when a ship sinks Is that i'm
plosions occur. These are inward
burstings, due to pressure, often with
burstings caused by explosions of gun
powder. A. scientific expedition low
cred a thermometer in a cloth into the
depths. When they brought the cloth
up it contained nothing but a lot Of
impalpebe white stuff resembling
snow. The imp'osion had transformed
the thermometer into dust.
Another mystery Of the sea this year
is the complete absence of icebergs In
the North Atlantic shipping lanes. A
cutter of the Ice Patrol has been sent
north to look into Greenlands frozen
