BURIED INCA RUINS
UNCOVERED IN PERU
Discoveries Shed Light on Ancient
Man in Americas, Pro-
fessor Says.

LIMA. Peru P).-Archeological in
terest has increased to an extent never
known before in this country since ex-
cavations we're started at Cuzco to un-
cover Inca ruins which have been
buried for centuries after the Spanish
conquerors settled in the former cap
ital of the Inca empire.
These excavations form part of the
program organized to commemorate
the 4OOth anniversary of the erection
of a municipal government at Cuzco
by the white invaders in 1884. 1t is
also one of the steps taken by the
Peruvian government to make Cuzco
the real archaeological capital of
America"
The exploration fever has been at
white heat, in view of the success of
excavations started at the Inca fort
reSS of SaXahuaman.
Hundreds Of workers have been busy
uncovering walls. buildings, aqueductS,
stones and the base of a tower. In
less than 60 days the ruins brought to
light have duplicated the prehistoric
monuments known previously.
Many relics of the splendid imperial
days of Cuzco have been unearthed,
including three huge walls whose eX-
istence had been suspected by archie
ologists.
Prof. Bingham. who discovered the
lost city of Macchu Picchu, built on a
cliff thousands of feet high, classified
the fortress of Saxahuaman as lone
of the most wonderful achievements

Commissioner Says Cam

and Healthy Sport.

Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen to-
day placed his stamp of Endorsement
on the campaign to teach boys the art
of swimming, which is being con-
Quoted under the auspices of The Star

NJ c. A.
Boys between 10 and l8 now are
being enrolled for the free lessons in
swimming which will be given be-
tween April and at the pool Of the
Y. NJ c. A. Boys Department.
Purpose of Campaign.
The purpose of this annual event,
which in the past has enlisted thou
stands of boys in the programs, is to
teach Washington youths how to take
care of themselves when engaging in
aquatic sports.
Commissioner Hazen said he could
speak from personal experience in
urging boys to learn to swim. He
said he had learned to swim many
years ago and had always found
swimming a helpful and healthy sport.
L am glad to know that The Star
and the Y. M. c. A. are renewing
their offer to the boys of Washington.
he said Swimming is more than
a healthful recreation. 1t is a safety
measure against needless loss of life.
The boy who can swim is able to pro-
tect not only himself in the water, but
others less fortunate than he.
Prevents DrowningS.
81 believe that many drownings in
the waters of the Potomac and other
unguarded streams of the District and
vicinity would have been prevented
had the victims known even the rudi-
ments of the art of swimming. For
that reason I would urge all eligible
boys to seize the opportunity to learn
this highly valuable and pleasurable
exercise"

DECLARED SUICIDE.
Mrs. Mary CoWherd Nyce
Said to Have Shot

A combination of worry over the
recent death of her mother and de-
spondency over her own i'll health was
given today as the probable teason
for the suicide of Mrs. larry Cowherd
Nyce, 32-year-old society matron, who
shot herself a few minutes after her

yesterday.
The theory was advanced by Coroner

the floor. There was a bullet hole in
the left side of her head. Mrs. Wolfe
telephoned her husband. a prominent

Point, on the Potomac, around to
South River, on the Bay, you can
fish any place they are usually
caught and be sure of getting
some. The largest catches have
been reported at Piney Point and
Tall Timbers, on the Potomac,
from SolomonS Island up to Bene-
dict on the Patuxent and at
Sharps and Tilghmans Island on
the eastern shore Of the bay.
Boats from West River, Herring
Bay and Chesapeake Beach have
been going to the last two places.
Fishing under Sharps Island
Light Saturday evening with
Captain Elliot, on one Of Captain
Blanch's boats, Frank Del Vecchio
and Jim Lowry caught more hard
heads than they had seen for
many a day. BY 2 a. m. it had
become so much like work, they
quit and sailed for home.
Charges Reasonable
Franks arm was still sore last
night. Roland England, at Plum
Point, says he has had many
small catches Of nice hardheadS
to come in on his boats. This is
one Of the places on the bay where
you can fish from rowboatS. His
charges are very reasonable, but
bring your own bait.
At South River you can catch
them up as far as the bridge.
Sunday every boat fishing there
had from 10 to 20 nice ones, many
running three pounds and bet
ter. Capt. George Parks, at the
north end Of the bridge, can al
ways supply you with bait and
small boats. Grabbing is good
here all summer long.
BluefiSh are taking the spoon in
fine shape at Southwest Middle
and all along the ocean front. Any
place down there will be a good
bet for at least three more weeks.
They have been reporting many
fine catches. There is some chan
mel bass and good sea bass fishing
on the wrecks and rock piles.
The upper Potomac has been
shy on the rock. Only three or
four to the boat, and these small
pan size. The water is fairly clear,
so they are probably like the her
ring, a little late. They have run
as late as the first week in July.
Similar reports come from w. w.

The water there has been rather
