Lambert designed his plane with
an eye for strength, which was
proved when he made a test dive
at the speed of 900 miles an hour
He came up with the wings intact
and was satisfied with his ship. said
to be the fastest privately owned
plane in the United States.

Oil Industry Rooted in
Antiquity

HE petroleum industry, rising to its heights
with the advent of the automobile and the
subsequent other types of petroleum product
users has its roots far back In antiquity.
The priests of Zoroaster, ever ready to use
any power which would act to their control
over the superstitious followers of their re-
ligion, built temples over Oil and gas fields
where seepages from the ground had become
ignited. These so-called sacred flames filed the
ignorant folk with a terrible awe. and they
we're held easily under the thumb of the
priests Of the temple.
The Babylonians used petroleum pitch and
oil In defense of their cities against invaders,
pouring the burning fluids from their walls
down on the soldiers who sought to scale the
walls with ladders.
Many ancient peoples found certain curative
properties in petroleum. and they also found
that it would burn in the crude lamps Of the
early days Of history.
The first oil we'll driven in this country was
the famous Drake WELL which was brought in
at T1tlsville, Pa, in 1859 It was the fore
runner Of the vast oil industry of the United

.elatives where some OF them had the heart
to eat: while others could not eat, with the
thought Of the death they would have to suffer.
Having gone through the ceremony of max
ing their hand prints on the walls, they awaited
their masters pleasure, who now arranged in
q pile many sheets and mantles that would
be distributed during further ceremonies. Their
masters placed this clothing upon the shoulders
OF those who should carry them and on those
who would have to die
Then they formed a procession, and in the
yards of the masters homes they marched
around, circling them several times; then they
started for the place of sacrifice. Arriving
at the TzompantI, they would discard their
fine robes and sit upon reed mats, where others
would bring them delicious foods and drink,
and they ate and drank. They had to sit all
evening until the midnight.
Meanwhile, roaring fire was kinded in
the center Of the stone terrace. When the fire
was sufficiently hot, and the appointed hour
of sacrifice had arrived, each victim was car
ried in succession on the shoulders of temple
attendant, up the 10 steps of the terrace and
thrown into the roaring flames. The gruesome
ceremony continues in translation:
When thrown in, there sprang up a cloud
of ashes and hole in the fire opened, where
each fell, as it was all fire and cinders there.
While in agony the victims were dragged by
means of hooks out of the fire by the priests,
and put over a kind Of chopping b,ssk Then

And now let us turn across the great plaza
Of that ancient city, upon which the torrid
sun has blazed for untold centuries, to another
new revelation Of its secrets. In the towering
pyramid of Kukulcan, of which no one had
suspected such concealments, another surprise
has been discovered
Under the capable direction Of Senior Mar
tinez the pyramid had been restored to its
pristine splendor, with its four broad stairways
Of 90 steps EACH nine symmetrical terraces and
an imposing temple atop.
Then the idea conceived that this pyra-
mid might contain building of some earlier
period Of construction within its interior Ex-
cavation began in the center of the south
stairway at ground level and at last it was
discovered that smaller pyramid, identical in
structure, contained within the larger one.
It was topped by a small temple, which had
been built by the prehistoric predecessors Of
the Mayans.
But while this excavation work IS not yet
completed at the foot of the inner north stair
way the workmen recently discovered huge
stone box, or sarcophagus, filled with priceless
jewelry of jade. coral and turquoise.

THIS discovery of the tomb, then, was like
! the finding of a master key, which opened
q series of solutions In the first place, the
tomb did not, as had been supposed, contain
the burials of kings.
Bits of information and comparisons of rec
ords by the oldest historians disclosed that the
structure had been built about 1927 AID,
during the reign Of Kukulcan, the great Toltec
leader from the west who had invaded the
Maya territory at time when their earlier
organization had lost its power. and who in
stigated the formation of the Empire of Maya
pan.
1t was this leader who introduced to the
Mayas and imposed upon them pantheon OF
pagan deities and the many gruesome rites OF
human sacrifices which they afterward prac-
ttced until the Spanish conquest in 1541. His
portrait is prominent in the ancient Maya
codices
The skull-carved tomb was an imitation in
stone Of similar ones in old Mexico which had
been built by stringing actual human skulls
form a solid wall about a rectangular space.
But because the custom was an innovation in
Mayan cities, and the human skulls were not
available, the carved stone skulls were SUBJ
stituted for the real ones, even to the imita-
ton of the poles which held the skulls to-
gether. Regarding those In old Mexico, an early
Spanish historian Bernal Diaz writes:
II remember having seen in a square in
which there were certain SanctuarieS piles of
human skulls which could be easily counted
on account of the orderly manner in which
they were placed. In my opinion, there were
more than 100,0 ,000."
The proper name for these places was

they have brought to light. And sometimes, in
the long process of investigation, the answer
is lost in the maze Of battling problems which
oonfronts them.
And what period of time did this structure
or this article serve humanity; what were its
purpose and use; what customs or needs
prompted its construction or creation?
These are some of the questions which chal-
lenge scientists the moment their excavations
or researches reveal treasure from the past.
Then begins a diligent matching up OF the
worlds most complicated jigsaw puzzles, which
evolve into history itself.
It was some three years ago, during severe
tropical storm, that torrents of water washed
the earth away from q section of jungle-groW1
mound in the ancient city of Chichen-1 liza.
Yucatan The exposed wall was carved with
serried rows Of human skulls and excited fur
ther excavation, which revealed mammoth
tomb inclosed by four walls covered entirely
with these grinning death's-heads-hrst esti-
mated at 500, and ultimately numbering 200!
THOSE engaged in the work named the
! place, temporarily, the Tomb Of the Kings
While laborers restored the walls of the tomb
and two adjoining stone terraces of promising
importance Senor Eduardo Martinez, c., chief
In charge of field excavation under the auspices
Of the department Of archaeology Of Mexico
directed the work and conducted an extensive
research among old documents and records for
some historical reference to this gruesome struc-
ture
The walls Of one of the terraces was carved
In high relief with alternating figures Of the
tiger, or jaeuar and the eagle, both of which
were venerated in the pagan worship Of the
ancient Mayas. Each Of the eagles held hu-
man heart in one claw, and each jaguar like
wise held heart in its extended paw.
The first con lecture was that they were de-
vouring the human hearts. And around the
edge of the other terrace, forming q 3-foot
balustrade was a row Of carved projectte-
shaped stones standing on end. What the eye
beheld in this spectacular discovery was ghastly
enough but the later revelations concerning
1t far exceeded the most gruesome conjectureS.
For it was learned that this group of build
ings had served the Mayas in their practice
of the most horrible of all sacrificial cere-
monies; and in connection with this several
other mysteries were solved which had long
confounded scientists and students of the
Maya civilization.
One of these was the use of the So-called
Chacmool figures, the name which was given
by the early explorer, LIE Piongeon to the re-
clining human figures of varying sizes found
in many of the prominent temples of Chichen-
Itza.
Another was the explanation of the imprint
door lintels, which had puzzled explorers from
of the ruined cities besides Chichen-Itza, and
particularly at Uxmal another Of the three
greatest cities of the Empire of Mayapan.

Value of Fertilizers
Is Discussed

Chemical fertilizers, often referred to
as commercial fertilizers, are not pure
plant nutrients. They carry a certain
amount. Of one or more Of the essential
plant food elements in soluble form,
explains DR.. 8. G. Vandecaveye, head
of the soils section at Washington
State college.
Commercial fertilizers are carriers Of
plant nutrients which are usually COM
bined chemically with other materials.
The other materials are not necessarily
useful as plant food.
The price Of chemical fertilizers Ia
based almost entirely upon the amount
Of soluble nitrogen, available phos-
phoric acid. and soluble potash that
is contained in the fertilizer. The per-
centage Of irlsoluble nutrients and
other material is not significant in
relation to price. The percentage Of
soluble or available plant nutrients
must be stated on each package offered
for sale for more than $40 per ton,
according to the Washington state
fertilizer law,
Some of the residues, which are the
materials combined with the plant nu-
trients in commercial fertilizers, may
have a distinct effect on the acidity
or alkalinity of the soil when repeated
applications are made, explains DR.
Vandecaveye. The repeated application
of sulphate of ammonia has ten
dency to make the soil acid, while
nitrate of soda has an opposite effect
The residue Of superphosphate as well
as some of the other fertilizers does
not appreciably affect this condition in
the soil.
Some materials such as gypsum and
different forms of lime are often APP
piled to the soil to improve the general
soil condition rather than add to plant
nutrients. Gypsum is frequently adde6
to alkali soils to correct the alkal
condition, and lime is usually applied
to correct the undesirable effects Of
soil acidity. These materials are not
in the same class with fertilizers anc
should not be used as such.

THE SPELLING MATCH

The Freshmen and the Sophomores
participated in a very close spelling
match ON Friday The Freshmen had
three more contestants than the Sophs
but it was evened up because the three
first Sophonores who misspelled words
remained standing. The Sophomores
won when Helen Meeker, the last of
the Freshmen, went down on "appre-
ciate," Evelyn Kelly being the last
Sophomore standing. Miss Duvall did
not spell down the lone contestant,
feeling that she had already suffered
enough in the interests Of her class
mates.
Competition is still keen between the
two groups and they are planning two
or three more matches before the end
Of school.

BOYS ENTERTAIN

The boys gave the girls and teachers
"a pleasant surprise by giving them
lovely party last Thursday night.
Dancing was the feature of the even
ing enjoyed by those participating.
Cards and jig-saw puzzles caused
enough excitement and entertainment
for those not dancing. Just ask Bob
.sheNedy and Elaine Coleman how they
like pinochle. Thurston was racking
his overworked brain on twos jig-saw
puzzles at once. Bobby Clark seems to
have knack OF knowing when his
partner has 800 pinochle and Sleepy
seems to know when his partner needs
500 pis1ochle. In the midst Of the mer-
rinaent the merrymakers were served
with ice cream and cake by group
Of well trained chefs and walters. Fine
training, boys!
Anyhow, large time was had by all.

THE SALES TAX IDEA

Under the heading, ''1The Last Rag" the Port
land Oregon Journal editorializes as follows:
"a sales tax is bad because it is simply one
more device to put the tax burden mainly on those
who are least able to pay It denies the sound prn
cpal of equality of sacrifice because it bears more
heavily in proportion the poor than on the
rich sales tax amounts, in effect, to graduated
income tax reversed, for under it the smaller
mans income the larger percentage Of it goes to
pay the tax.
"a worker or farmer spends something like
half of his total income for consumers goods upon
which sales taxes are levied. A rich man may, and
often Does spend as little for these same goods as
5 per cent One half of the poor mans income is
taxed under the sales tax and one half escapes
Five per cent of the rich mans income pays under
the sales tax and IS per cent escapes.
s4There is no justice in such arrangement.
It is merely another way to free the rich from
taxation.
"A sales tax has been urged means to pro-
vide further unemployment relief. 1t is not nee
essary ...I recommend strongly that the
emergency sales tax shall not be renewed and that
no other sales tax be substituted for it.-From
Pinchot's message to the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture after the sales tax had been in use in Penn
sylvania for emergency relief"
