REMOVING THE INDIAN
CARVINGS

DR.. Donald Cadzow and members
OF his Susquehanna Expedition are at
work removing the mysterious cary
ing on the rocks in the Susquehenna
river near Safe Harbor Pa. These
writings, if not removed would be
covered with water when the new
dam is completed. The rocks on
which the characters are carved are
being drilled out in pieces approx
mately two feet square and will be
sent to the State Museum, in Harris
burg, Pa.
These carvings are the only hint of
a prehistoric race which has been
found in Pennsylvania. The charac-
tiers are battling, and they can not be

have several pairs in use at the

not be gainsaid that two pairs Of
shoes If worn alternately last
longer than two pairs when one
is worn out before the other has
been worn at all.
The life Of a shoe depends on
the way il is kept when not In
use almost as much as on the
way il is worn. Shoes should al
ways be cleaned before they are
put away. OF course. you want
