Expedition Planned
 To Phantom People
Connecticut Machetes to Be Captain Loch's Calling
 Cards" When He Visits SsabeIa Indians in Amazon

The expedition will be gone Q year and will traverse one of the most isolated and little-known regions of the Andes of South America spending some months in the Llanganates Mountains, once part of the ancient Inca empire and some months in the Upper Valley of the Amazon where the Ssabela Indians are said to live.
 Besides making an effort to meet and study the Ssabeia Indians and to bring back ethnological speci- mems of this practically unknown race, the purpose of the expedi- ton is: to map and bring back geo. graphical data of the remote terri- tory visited; to trap certain rare animals and bring back alive to New York Zoo and other Zoos; to map Geographically and geologic ally the area through which the expedition passes; also to bring back geologic samples from which thin sections may be made in or- der to substantiate superficial geo. logic determinations made on the ground; collect fossils; and seek for ancient Inca mine workings and sources of the vast stores of gold which the Spanish Conquerors reported finding and to secure spe- cimens of mineral deposits of eco- homie interest,

NEW STYLE HUE
 FOR 1886 URGED
Cotton Boil Green May Take Spot Among Fash-
 iOnable Shades

Lubbock, Tex. (U.P.)-After 2,000 years in the background, one of the worlds most common col- ors, cotton boil green, may take It's place among fashionable shades.
 An organized group of West Texas women, "Texas Cotton Mo- tifs, Inc, hopes to popularize cot ton boil green as part of the states centennial celebration of 1886. Eastern textile manufacture CTS already have received the idea favorably. Sponsors hope to in- clude also leather, cut-glass. wood- work, and silver manufacturers in their plan.
 Cotton boil green is Q color, usually mottled. ranging between emerald and apple green. It's clos- est rival is leaf green. Those who would make cotton boil green the foremost color of 1936 also en- vision use of the plant in other ways-designs from the boil, burr, flower and stalk.
 To support their campaign, the women have arranged an early showing of fashions, with designs and colors chosen from the tradi- tional southern crop.
 Cotton offers the greatest va- riety of artistic designs of any plant" Mrs. Edgar T. Neal, of Lubbock, a leader in the organiza- tion, said. She originated the scheme while showing an eastern visitor through a cotton patch in 1892. Artists and designers at Texas Pathological college are aiding the movement.
 A panorama of cotton, plant whose history dates to 800 B.C.. will be presented to centennial wis., itors at the Dallas Exposition next yaer.

Connecticut manufactured ma khetes have been selected by Cap tain E. Erskine Loch D. s. O., leader of the Andes-Amaon Expe- dition 19S5-36, organied under the auspices of the Museum of the American Indian (Heye Founda. tion) as his official and personal calling cards when, and if he is fortunate enough to find the Ssa- bella Indian village said to be si- tuated in the Upper Valley of the Amazon.
 q only hope the Connecticut machetes will not metamorphasize into boomerangs'', smiled the lead CT of the expedition, which has as it's main objective, locating the Ssa- bella Indians, studying their life and bringing back for the collec- ton of the Museum of the Amer ican Indian ethnological specimens of the Ssabelas, a fierce and shy tribe, said to be unfriend1y to all other tribes and to have evaded the white man so successfully, they have been dubbed the phantom people by the few bold men who have been within their territory.
 Tn so far as can learn," Capt. Loch said at the expedition's head quarters, Hotel Barclay, New York City, "there are no ethnological specimens of the Ssabelas in any museum of the world. If I can win the confidence of the Ssabela Indians and in exchange for my calling cards, the machetes, they will give me some of their crude fighting paraphenalia, utensils, garb, etc., I will indeed be fortun- ate.
 T realize, fcourse, there is Q possibility that the Ssabelas, pro- Viding I am fortunate enough to meet them, may accept my offer of the machetes and then use them against me, but the chance of their doing so Is very slight. If can get close enough to them to pre- sent the machetes, will have es- tahlished an acquaintance. which should be on a friendly footing.
 "The machetes, surely, will be a great benefit to these wild peo- ple and make their existence much easier as they probably use crude stone instruments for cutting.
 Besides the machetes, manufac- tured by Collins & Co. of Hart ford, Capt. Loch will take as gifts: colored threads, needles, beads, knives, mirrors, sun glasses jews harps, mouth organs, notions, cloth, candies, cigarettes. toys, novelty dolls.
 The Andes-Amaon Expeditions personnel consists of men, the youngest of whom is 22 years of age and the oldest, 46. Those ac- companying Capt. Loch are: Carl de Muralt, 2d-in- Command of Zu- rich, Switzerland and New York; H. M. Hardwicks of New York. to- pographer and geologist; Wilfred Kiamroth of New York. assistant geoiogist; Peter Prime of Milwau- kee, Wisconsin, botanist; Alasdair Loch of London, aviator and navi- gator: Two other scientists to join expedition in Ecuador.

MARK TWAIN 2D
 DIMS NAMESAKE
Centennial of River Pilot and Writer Being Cele-
 brated This Year
By JESS BOONE United Press Stan Corresponds

United Press Stan correspondent
 St. Louis (U.P.)-In Hannibal Mo-, townfolk this year are cele. brating the centennial of the birth of Mark Twain, writer and river. man--Samuel L. Clemens. In St Louis, cityfolk daily pass and dc not notice the grace in Bellefon. taine cemetery of' the original Mark Twain, river pilot and writ. CT, Isaiah Sellers.
 Sellers, dead 71 years, wrote fol the old New Orleans Daily Plea yune under the name of Mark Twain, long before Samuel Clem- ems ever adopted that name and began to write. He had piloted river boats for years before the Mark the world knows first stepped onto the deck of Mississippi stern-wheeler.
 River-folk of his day knew Sel. lers better as pilot than a col. umnist, for he was said to have known the Mississippi and its sur roundings better than any other man of his time. In that respect his fame was in direct contrast to that of Clemens, who was first a writer, second a riverman.
 To-day the stone over Sellers grave Is almost his sole claim to worldly notice. He designed 1t him. self Carved in recess in the stone is the figure of bearded river pilot at great spoked wheel Beneath the figure is single line q. Sellers"
 The Mark of the books knew the Mark of the river. He men. toned in his Life on the Missis. sippi' that Sellers was on the river in 1911, the first year steamboats plodded along its muddy current He was then only boy. First nos ticc of Sellers operations on the lower river was in 1925.
 Like his better-known name- sake, Sellers was a man of ingenu- ity. He originated the system of bell-tapping as the pilots signal to take soundings. It replaced an older method of shouting from the wheelhouse, to Mark Twain"
 There were no accidents on the pilots record of the first Mark IWalH. 1eL ut was tho iia Se " bring a boat with staterooms to St. Louis, when he brought the Prairie" from Pittsburgh to St. Louis in 1886.
 When he brought the J. M. White II from New orleans in May, 1S44, in three days, 23 hours, minutes, he set a record which stood for 25 years until captains found new ways of refueling and the river provided pilots with shortcuts.
 Sellers, as Mark Twain, con- tlnued to write about the river for the Picayune for many years Then a new Mark Twain who made peo- pie laugh appeared on the literary horizon, and Sellers quit.
 He died March 6, 1884, at Mem- phis from pneumonia. Friends brought the body here and buried 1t beneath the stone of Sellers own choosing.
 To-day his body lies just 80 miles from the grave of the other Mark Twain.
