Evidently the schism extends to
the American delegation at Lon
don which is neither fish o fowl
when it comes to the question of
nationalism versus International
ism. We were informed, unoffic-
tally of course, that measures had
been taken for international stab
ilization of currency and the event.
ual return to the gold standard
Securities and commodity markets
took a short but sharp nose dive.
Then came the announcement from
Washington that no such step was
contemplated. Then followed a re-
covery in the markets but an in
crease in the temperature of the
London conference.

Next we got the news that the
American delegation was to pro-
pose a ten per cent horizontal
slash in tariffs. Hardly had the
acclaim from the lips of the inter
nationalists faded to an echo, be-
fore we were informed that once
again the public had been misled
by idle rumor. In fact Mr.. Hull
has been compelled to raise the
complaint that the rumor factory
has been so Jealous in it's over
time activities that the peace and
good will of the conference is en-
dangered. Mr.. Hull is still sure
that the boys will get together
and accomplish a lot for humanity
before the conference is over.

Back in the United States, how
ever, where we are influenced more
by the shadow of the Washington
monument, and the whirr of the
pheasant, than the shades and
mellow tones of internationalist
diplomacy, there is a growing feel
ing that perhaps the country
would have continued its march
back to normalcy at a more rapid
pace if the economic conference
had been postponed for a year or
two. There are some iconoclastic
enough to express the opinion that
even now it is not too late to re-
call the American delegation and
call it a draw.

Convict's Gas Experiment
Seen as Revolutionary

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Nov %
QN.S0.-A convict experiment
which may revolutionize the in
duStrial world attracted attention
of scientists today. .,.
James F. Burke. Folsom pris-
oner, staged a demonstration at
the prison before several electro
chemical experts in which water
was decomposed into hydrogen
and oxygen with electricity with
q voltage so low that 1t Is said
to violate all present scientific
theories.
Burke claims to have diScov-
cred an electro-chemical means
Of producing hydrogen gas from
water so cheaply that 1t can be
used as q substitute for gasoline,
coal, natural gas and other fuels
at q fraction Of their cost.
Its use, Burke. said, would re-
duce the cost Of automobile fuel
to one-twentieth of a cent per
gallon and enough hydrogen fuel
could be made for 10 cents to
equal the heat provided by a ton
of coal.
Experts who -. witnessed the
demonstration behind prison walls
declined to give definite opinion
on the process, but admitted
they were puzzled. according to

A fund of $16,500 has been set
aside for surveying streams, not

INSURANCE DUE

FIELD examiners have approved
admission of 83 per cent of those

applied for membership in the

Final decision as to the eligi-

COUNTY EASES
AUTO TAX

Automobile buyers in Prince
Georges county, at least those
who will buy cars early next
year, are to be saved a years
assessment on their new pur-
chaseS by action taken by the
Prince Georges Board of County
Commissioners at Upper Marl-
boro yesterday.
The date Of finality, or the
last day on which assessments
on autos may be put on the
books, was set at January /,
instead of in the middle of the
year as formerly was the prac-
tice. Previously, a person who
bought car in midyear had to
pay taxes on it for an entire
year.
A total of $3,161,13O represents
the assessed valuation of cars in
the county in 1892, according to
a report yesterday filed with the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads.
From this valuation a Total of
$39, ,358.28 in taxes was derived
by the county. There are more
than $4,000 autos in the county,
according to the report.
The order will affect between
$500 and 5000 new car purchases
next year, it was estimated.

WRITING IN PICTURES
By H. P. CORsER
Author Of Totem Lore

Writing in pictures is the very
oldest attempt to preserve historic
records, and the Chinese language
is one of the first of these attempts.
Another is the Babylonian hero
glyphics and third is the Egyp-
tian. These examples may be null
tiplied many times among various
tribes and races.
The totem pole is a further ex-
ample of this particular recording
art. The figures carved on pole
are an attempt to portray the his
tory of the family that owns the
pole.
When Philadelphia places Totem
pole in one of its parks, she is
placing there something that had
for its purpose the preservation of

history-much as the old Cleopat-
ra's Needles did.
But what is a totem?
Let us remember that primitive
people are Totemistic. A Totem is
the spirit favorable to clan and
the clan is determined by the blood
relationship on the mothers side.
The real thing about an object
or thing that we see is not what we
feel or what we see. 1t is the spirit
of what we feel and what we see.
The Totem is placed in front of a
house to show the social standing
of the people who live there, and
to please the spirits SO they will
bring good luck to them. In one
sense, therefore. Totems are coats of
arms. They are an Indian form of
heraldry in addition to being an ae-
count of the myth that made the
family great.
From where does the idea of
Totem pole Gomez
The idea that the American In
dian is of Asiatic origin is very
common. That he came from Asia
over Behring straits is common also.
If this be true, it is strange that
the Indians do not know more
about it than they do. Among all
the legends and stories of migra-
tions, there do not seem to be any
stories to substantiate the Asiatic
lorigin idea.
There are two or three possible
answers.
There is tradition that there is
a lost continent in the Pacific
ocean as Totems much like those
in Alaska are found among the
South Sea islands. Is it too much to
suppose that one of these was wash
ed into the sea during a storm
and carried by the Japanese cur
rent to the Alaska coast, thus sug-
costing the carving of more To-
TENS? The Tongass Indians have
tradition of this kind
Another answer is found in the
fact that travellers have noticed a
similarity between carvings on AL
aska Totems and carvings in Egyp-
tian Temples. This can be explain
ed in the supposition that there was
a continent which sank, that the
Azore Islands are remnants of that
continent and that civilization went
east and west from there. If this
is so, there is nothing unreasonable
in finding a similarity in the art
of the Pacific coast to that of
Egypt.
The Totem which will be placed
in Philadelphia is copy of dane
ing stick of one Nun-nu-kai-we
Nun-nu-kai-we had four sons and
they said 1--WE go a-hunting."
The father warned them to be
very careful for over there where
they would go was the valley of
smokes. There was the black smoke,
the black bear; the white smoke.
the mountain sheep; the brown
smoke, the grizzly bear, and the
bloodcolored smoke, the man-eating
giant.
One of the boys received noun
tain sheep wool which, when the
giant gave chase was thrown down
and became a jungle. Another re-
ceived sand stone which became
a mountain. The hair oil became a
lake and the wool a fog which is
always seen at the foot of Raven
Inlet. These barriers delayed the
giant until the boys could get home
and the house be barricaded.
The man-eating giant flew up
and called down the hole in the
roof of the house for one of the
boys. The father replied, do not
be so blood-thirsty. Come back to-
morrow with your wife and son and
