The frontiers of civilization are being
steadily pushed back to more and more
distant periods. In the Far East, In the
Levant, in the Western Hemisphere, dig
ging is in progress under the supervision
of scientists. Every few months finds
are made Of ancient structures, of treas
ures of art, OF utensils. The missing
links Of history are being brought to
light, the relations of groups of peoples
once powerful and active are being es-
tablished. The influences that brought
about the cultural advances of the prim-
tive races are being disclosed. There is
no more fascinating and enlightening
work today than that Of the archeolo-
gists, who are steadily and with scien-
tific precision pursuing this quest for
the traces of the record that lies buried,
now in regions far removed from the
scenes of present activity and high ad
vancement, and again close to the areas
of the full Towering Of human culture
of the period of which the history is
definitely written.

The New Airport.

The reintroduction by Senator Hiram
Bingham of Connecticut of his bill to
consolidate and enlarge the Washing
toni Hoover Fields gives hope that be-
fore the end of this session of Congress
the National Capital will possess an
airport which will rank with the best
in the country. Agitation for a Fed
eral-owned plant for Washington has
been going on for some years and many
proposals have been made. Senator
Bingham's plan is by all odds the best.
Under the Bingham bill the new
airpJrt, which will be maintained under
the jurisdiction of the Secretary of
Commerce will embrace the lands
known as Washington Airport and
Hoover Field and necessary acquisitions
of adjacent land, including any part
OF Columbia Island not used in the
Arlington Memorial Bridge project, and
the filling in of portion of the channel
lying between Hoover Field and the
island. The entire cost has been set
at S2,5o0,o0 to be appropriated en-
tirely out of the Federal Treasury.
Enactment of this measure will give
the National Capital not only an air
port of adequate size and facilities but
so situated in relation to the city that
it will be the most convenient in serv-
ice Of any in the United States. The
present Washington Hoover airport has
been developed TO high degree of eff
eiency by private interests and is one

Telegram is convinced that the pro-
gram deserves far more support than
it probably will receive, either from
Congress or from the public" The
Lexington Leader offers the Judgment: :
1T may be confidently predicted that
in the face of experience and logic
there will be strenuous opposition to
any such plan, and the movement in
the direction the President indicates
will be slow and painful. Many feet
are trampled on whenever any bill is
introduced providing for such re-
organizations, and strings are pulled by
many hands to retard progress toward
the goal"
These proposals will meet with for
mldable opposition, but if Congress
shall have the courage to put the popu-
lar welfare first, it will enact them, 4"
comments the San Antonio Express.
The Louisville Courier journal remarks :
There is admitted waste, useless
agencies and duplicated effort, which
demand Overhauling. But it is easier
said than done. President Hoover's
belated awakening will not effect the
necessary changes. Congress must be
brought around by a popular demand
for economy. Only by such a demand
will the politicians wipe out useless
Government jobs and bring about eff
ficiency. The cost of American bureau
cracy is the cost of politics"

Ancient Graves in Ecuador.

Discovery is announced from Guaya-
quill, Ecuador, of a number of graves Of
an unknown type and bodies in them
of an unidentified and probably pre-
Inca race in a village near the Colom-
bisn border Gold ornaments, painted
earthen pots and weapons were also
found in good condition. In one grave,
at a depth Of thirty-two feet, eleven
bodies we're found, four Of adults and
seven of children. The find was re-
ported to the minister Of education, who
prohibited further exploration until a
German archeologist who is conduct
ing researches in Ecuador arrived on
the scene. Before that, however, some
of the gold articles had been melted
down by the finders.
This discovery may play an important
part in the research into the early
American civilization. Prof Max Uhle,
the German savant, has been at work
in that area for a considerable period
and has advanced the theory that
American culture developed in Central
America and spread from that source
having been influenced by Asiatic cul-
ture brought across the Bering Strait
by Oriental immigrants, This hypoth-
esis has been questioned by other
authorities, and the matter has been
sharply debated. 1t is possible that the
Ecuador find may throw light upon the
question. t.
South and Central America sfferd a
rich field for archaeological research
and during the past quarter of cen
tury much has been done to elucidate
the problem of the origin of culture

nance of explorations, such as those in

In the true older tradition of Russian
fiction, made familiar by the work of

idea that his hatred has killed the man.
He hides the body, acts like criminal,
and finally surrenders himself to the
police. A trial and sentence follow.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The harder each party tries to be in
different to the matter the surer he i'm
presses it upon the other.
It is not long before the man who
borrowed money begins to feel that ne
is very much abused. Often he ends
bv actively diSliking one who merely
did him kindness.
Why?
Simnlv because the borrower, having
done the other a dirty trick by not pay
ing him back, begins to hate MIN IN
earnest
He might we'll say, with Karamazov,
He has done me no harm. But L
played him a dirty trick, and ever since
have hated him"
No doubt there have been many
hatreds, simple and complex, little and
small, resulting from an innocent Joke
played thoughtlessly upon another;
The perpetrator, seeing the victim
resent his actions, then managed to
become indignant at the victim tor his
indignation, and thus make him twice
the victim.
This is a very wicked animal" runs
the French saving. When attacked,
it defends itself"
The fact that the creature defends
itself is what makes it wicked, OF
course. Thus the saying naively states
an old truth about the workings OF the
human mind.
Whatever resists us is wicked Or
tending that way.
Whoever resents what we do is cast
ing reflections upon us. is he not?
Therefore, we will dislike him.
It Is ones duty to himself not to feel
more hurt than he has to when he dis
covers another human being disliking
him because of something which this
other human being has done. There IS
some danger of hypocrisy here of
course. If one has done harm, too, that
is a different matter! But II search
ing of the heart as it is called clearly
reveals the blame to be elsewhere, then
do not permit the mind to brood too
long over the strange spleen" OF
another.
II is not strange at all. but just
human. Humanity is queer complex
of good and bad. When one thinks of
all the bad in it, and how it is hitched
up with anger, the great animal trait,
it is wonderful that human beings are
as good as they are. When one thinks
of all the good in human nature it Is
difficult to understand how humanity
becomes so sinful.
No one should be surprised, therefore,
at anything 1t is merely another way
of stating the old maxim, Hope for
the best, and expect the worst" In the
matter of likes and dislikeS, there is but
one line of conduct for the honest per-
son, and that is to act according to the
best light one possesses. Then, If i'll
will results, we'll, i'll will results.
Never be in too great hurry to
blame yourself if you find that some
one is nourishing a nice dislike of you.
Young people, and older people who
have not thought about the matter, are
too much inclined to put the blame on
themselves, when all the time it may go
back squarely to another OF course,
placing the blame scarcely relieves the
situation. There is not much satisfac-
ton in it. after all. But it does tend
to straighten out the kinks in the mind,
and anything which does that is help

power of knowledge and it's place in

A good many kindly people worry
because some one or other hates them
| without cause.
IT never did thing in the world to
make him dislike me-" they will wall.
They should read Dostoievsky, who,
with a knowledge beyond his age, made
his elder Karamazov explain it this
way:
"Ill tell you. He has done me no
harm But played him dirty trick,
and ever since I have hated him"
That's what you call psychology.
Psychology Is just a fancy way OF
saying human nature in action.
Since mankind became conscious OF
| itself, the study of human nature has
been a favorite with thinking people.
Every successful man, since the world
began, has been a psychologist.
Every business man who makes his
pile" has been a psychologist.
Every writer, including the great
ShakeSpe are, has been a psychologist.
* X X
One Of the Oldest tenets of this
pseudo-science is that the mind works
in harmony with the hand.
That is, human being tends to like
where he does something friendly, dis
like where he Is unfriendly.
If one makes a friendly physical ges-
ture toward another human being, such
as picking up something which he has
dropp ID for him, one will find himself
favorably disposed toward that person.
Women, who are instructive pSychol-
ogistS, largely through necessity over
the years, discovered that thousands of
years ago.
The flirt of past century, dropping a
handkerchief for some one to pick up,
knew what to do without being told.
She was successful because she used
applied psychology, as it is called, with
out conscious knowledge that she was
doing so.
To be fully aware of what one is do
ing, in such matters, tends to make one
timid, and less sure in the application of
the laws.
There is book on the market which
Solemnly recommends such tricks as
ways of getting on" in the world. Get
the boss" to loan you a book, for in
stance, and thus you get him to coming
your way.
Well, maybe; the trouble with all such
articles is that, consciously applied for
a purpose, they tend to defeat them
selves.
That is psychology, too.
The mind works in harmony with the
hand. Do a good deed toward another,
you are inclined to like him. Do him an
Ill deed, and you will find yourself dis
liking him. This is a mystery only to
those who have not stopped to consider
the matter.
Every one knows how it is in bor-
rowing money. 1t is truism that the
best way to lose friend is to loan him
money. How is this? Does one not do
a good deed when one loans money to a
friend? And is not the friend apprecia-
tive?
1t works out differently, alas, in most
cases, as every one knows. The man who
borrowS money somehow discovers that
it is much more difficult to pay it back.
Knowing that the lender expects it back,
the borrower feels that every glance
from him is a reminder.
Every mention of the word money"
is taken as hint. The borrower shortly
comes to feel that he is being prosecuted

The Jackson Day Dinner.

The Democratic campaign for the
presidency was opened last night with
a jackson Day dinner in this city, at
tended by some two thousand enthu-
siastic members of that party and ao-
dressed by the last three Democratic
presidential candidates. Broadcast by
radio throughout the country, the
speeches of these three spokesmen for
the party constituted in effect the open
ing broadside of the 1892 contest. AL
though former Gov Alfred E. Smith Is
still regarded by some as possible can
didate for nomination, inasmuch as ne
has not yet made any declaration point
ing to his desires or intentions, the
three speakers Of last night were rated
as impersonal exponents Of the Demo-
cratic cause, without reference to or
bearing upon the composition Of the
ticket with which the party will bid for
national approval this year.
Condemnation Of the Republican
partv and the four administrations that
have held Office in the name OF that
party since the last Democratic nation
al success was the keynote and indeed
the burden OF the proclamation. This
criticism centered especially upon the
present administration, which was as
sailed by all three of the former Demo-
cratic candidates for its course during
the business depression which has af-
ficted the country. Mr.. Smith alone
offered a positive proposal for the relief
of the distress, which is evidently to be
the keynote Of the Democratic cam
paign. He outlined a program OF his
own which, taking direct issue with
President Hoover's opposition to Fed
eral cole to the destitute, proposed a
huge bond issue for public works to
stimulate employment.
1t may be significant that the present
titular leader of the Democracy, its
latest standard bearer in the campaign,
was the only one to advance definite
plan. In view of his silence up to date
regarding the 1882 campaign, this may
be interpreted by some as indicative OF
a willingness to be drafted again for
service, this especially in view Of the
fact that Gov. Roosevelt of New York,
who is at this moment the outstanding
prospect for the 1882 nomination. did
not attend the dinner and sent no
message.
1t was also significant that the only
Democrat of conspicuous prominence
whose hat is now in the ring, the Gov
ernor of Maryland was present at the
dinner but, in keeping with the pro-
gram, which confined the addresses 20
the former candidates, did not speak.
He was, however, given rousing ova~
tion, a compliment which may prove
to have a bearing upon the course of
the party at its next national con-
yention.
1t is not to be expected that the
appeal of the Democrats to the coun-
try this year will be pitched in the
somewhat negative key that prevailed
at last nights dinner, with the single
exception of Mr.. Smiths own plan
for relief. Criticism and condemnation
are not good campaign material The
platform builders may find material in
the Jackson Day dinner by implication,
but not to any large extent by direction.

Personal Appearance
Pays il It's Consistent
From the Fort Worth star-Telegram.

! From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
A haberdashery publication dwells
at length on the value of personal ap-
pearance and concludes with the re-
mark that 10 per cent of the progress
of the individual on the road to success
is due directly to that feature of one 5
embellishments known as neatness and
taste in attire.
A certain per cent surely, but not
quite, we venture so much as 10 per
cent. That leaves only 80 per cent for
such auXlliarieS to progress as study,
application and inventive genius. 1t is
going to require some sales talk to es-
tablish such a contrast in values.
Personal appearance is one Of the
most outstanding of the various relativi-
ties. If the subject is to be taken in
abstract form it easily might be that
each and every person should be dress
ed up" regardless Of the place, pro-
prieties or occupation. And that would
be one of the poorest taste effects
imaginable.
For there is more of the eternal fit
ness of things within the human garb
than in any other of the social rela-
tions. The acme of success in that ef-
fort would be that or every person
clothed in exact accordance with the
requirements of his job, and being thus
garbed he would be in good taste. If
it is a faux pas to enter parlor
garbed as an auto mechanic, how
nearly apropos would it be for the same
workman to don frock coat for wear
underneath a disabled automobile?
In something of that comparison is to
be found each of the occupations and
their legitimate garbS. Personal ap-
pearance," unless it rests on consistency,
is as liable to run too far in the wrong
direction as to produce for its devotees
the effect suggested by the 40 per
cent" Illustration. .....-..
The writer of the article is to be ap
plauded for trying to sell his wares,
and there is no denying the value Of
appropriate garb, but there is room for
plenty Of argument that cleanliness,
neatness, taste in color harmony, atten-
ton to ones duties and general ef-
ficiency will total an easy TO per cent
Of each success"
