Spaniards Misled as to
New Worlds Gold Store

The gold which so inflamed the
imagination of Spain when Columbus
returned from his first voyage to the
New world probably was mined by the
Indians in Haiti, says DR.. Herbert W.
Krieger, curator Of ethnology of the
United States National museum, who
headed an expedition conducting an
exploration of Indian sites on that
island.
Actually, ne says, gold was scarce.
The natives gave the Spaniards false
impression by hammering it into thin
plates which then were shaped into
objects Of personal adornment. They
had discovered, he says, an alloy Of
gold and copper-known as pale
gold"-which was used. for lance heads.
Ornaments of gold plate were worn In
the ears and nose and suspended about
the neck.
Gold mining, Krieger says, was very
primitive. A hole was dug in the
sand, the nuggets extracted and then
beaten into thin plates with stone
hammers.

Chevrolet Sales

Chevrolet dealers sold 1853 new
and 20, 573 used cars during the first
ten days of April, H. j. Klingler,
vice-president and general sales
manager, announced.
The performance was the best for
any ten-day period this year and
exceeded sales during the first full
ten-day period following the ammo
uncement of the present line of cars
on December 5, Mr.. Klingler said.
He reported that the April sales
mark was 1000 new cars higher
than for the previous ten days, and
1877 per cent above the correspond
ing period for March.
Improvement was general through
out the country, many zones more
than doubling their sales perfor-
nance over the first ten days of
March, and number of dealers re-
ported selling more cars in the first
ten days of April than during the
entire month of March, Mr.. Klingler
said.
In the month just ended, Chevrolet
dealers conducted a used car CAM
paigu which resulted in the sale Of
1898 cars to retail buyers.

Man of the Future

Following present tendencies into
the future, DR.. Ales Hrdlicka Of the
Smithsonian institution, is regarded
as Americas greatest anthropologist,
finds that future man will have a
longer and easier life than mankind of
today; he will be somewhat taller and
handsomer; his eyes will be deeper
set, nose prominent and narrow,
mouth smaller, teeth smaller and
fewer, hair scantier, chin more promi-
nent, head broader and larger, skull
wall thinner, brain larger, face more
expressive, feet more refined, fingers
longer, chin thinner and squarer. Lit
tile toes, wisdom teeth and many in
ternal vestiges, including the appen-
dix, will be vanishing or gone.

Pronunciation Varies

The pronunciation of slough" va.
ries with the meaning. When the word
means a hole full of mud or a deep,
miry place it Is correctly pronounced
"slou," riming with now" This is
the pronunciation of the word as en-
ployed in John Bunyan's Pilgrims
Progress" where the Slough Of De-
spond is a deep bog into which Chris
tian falls at the beginning Of his jour
ney and from which Help extricates
him. When slough" refers to a
marshy place or a piece Of low, wet
land it is pronounced "sloo," to rime
with ''too." In this sense the word IL
frequently spelled "slew," "sloo," or
"slue." When slough" means the
CASTOR skin Of an animal Of reptile
which sheds it is pronounced "sluff."-

Foreign Service

The United States foreign service
divides its activities roughly into three
main ategories-protective, advisory
and administrative. The protective
function safeguards citizens and their
legitimate interests in all privileges
and rights provided by treaty or con-
coded by usage. The advisory func-
lions Of the foreign service are de-
signed primarily for the benefit Of the
government Of the United States,
which constantly requires information
from all parts Of the world for its
guidance in the conduct of its foreign
relations. The third main division Of
the duties laid upon the foreign serv-
ice is the administration abroad Of
American laws. (!

Chancellor Must Guard
Great Seal of England

Great in meaning and great In pow
er, the Great Seal Of England is yet,
comparatively, small thing. Made Of
silver-a metal easy to clean-it is
about seven inches in diameter and
weighs IL pounds. The lord chancel-
lor is its custodian and responsible for
its safety, and 1t lies within his dis
erection to keep it where he thinks fit.
In days gone by those in whose
custody 1t lay have spent anxious mo-
ments. Lord Chancellor Eldon, in the
reign Of George III, used to sleep with
it under his pillowl One night his
house caught fire and he buried 1t in
his garden for safety. Next day he
had forgotten where he had hidden It
and could not recall for some time.
Whenever a new Great Seal is In
troduced special ceremony takes
place. They new seal Is sent from the
