Oldest Corn'' a Fake

Whether an object at the Smith sonian Institution has been reduced or elevated depends upon the com paratVe valuations of an ancient relic or ancient work of art suffic- iently realistic to deceive the coun- tryS leading scientists for a period of 20 years In 1914 officials of the institution purchased in Cuzco. Pe- I'll, what they thought to be an ear of corn grown in that country sev- eral thousand years ago. It was brought to Washington and until re- gently exhibited as petrified corn. When an intensive study to learn more about the history of corn led to the bisection of the curio it was found that instead of being a repre- sentative of an ancient crop it was a handmade clay rattle. A hollow center contained three small pellets which when the object was shaken, produced the desired sound. So per feet was the reproduction that nev- CT once during the entire period was any suspicion aroused. Instead of being a black mark against the scientists this mistake should be a tribute to the ancient modeler.

 The vicar, Rev. F. Tatchel who had to call on the police for help in examining the claims of the Weary Willies" who sought the shoes and two pairs of socks that went with them. The vicar finally decided to close the offer, especially as the chief constable became alarmed at the influx of not always desirable tranSients.

Record Blue Foa Pup Litter Born At Kaser's Earn,

Thirteen surviving pups from blue fox litter that may well be an all-tfrne record-19 blue fox pups born two months ago at the Dr. E. H. Kaser fur farm on Glacier High way-are all showing promise of maturing into fine normal adult animals.
 Dr. Kaser, who has had number of years Of successful experience in breeding silver, cross and blue foxes and mink, states that he has never heard of a blue fox litter number ing as many pups as the largest of the four filters of blue foxes born at his ranch during the spring
 Blue foxes, Dr. Kaser said, are more prolific as a rule than any of the other types. silver fox lit- ters rarely numbering more than six pups. Questioned regarding the probable value of the blue fox ht- ter, Dr. Kaser said that blue fox belts at the present time bring from $20 to $50. Four years ago they were worth from $100 to $125, and 20 years ago they brought from $250 upward.

DR. PYLE BACK
 FROM TRIP TO
 FAR WESTWARD
Con tao ts Dr. Waugh in Kuskokwim Country
 Teeth Discussed

Dr Taylor J. Pyle, Field Dentist, Bureau of Indian Affairs. returned to Juneau on the Alaska from an annual tour of inspection along the lower Kuskokwim, the Alaska Pen insula and the Aleutian chain.
 11r. Pyle reports that in the lower KukokWim country he contacted Dis Ieuman w. Waugh, orthodon- tit and instructor in the Columbia University School of Dental Surg cry and Oral Surgery, who is con- ducting a scientific investigation among the Eskimos. Dr. Pyle anS Dr. Waugh agree that the natives along the lower Kuskokwim have what are probably the best teeth in the world, and Dr. Waugh, through observation of their diet and oral habits, hopes to gather material of value with regard to treatment Of the teeth of more civilized races.
 No White Influence
 Dr. Pyle believes that the fine condition Of the Kuskokwim Eski- mos teeth is due largely to the fact that they are the Alaska race most isolated from white influence. Many of the younger Indians had never before seen white man, he said. In support of his theory, Dr. Pyle said that the natives of Kodiak and Cook Inlet-scene of the earliest Russian occupation of Alaska have the poorest teeth he has ever seen.
 Happy Race
 The Eskimos along the lower kuskokwim are very happy race, Dr: Pyle said, and the customary greeting is smile. At least three entirely different dialects are spok- en among the Aleuts and two dis tinct languages among the Eskimos, but all travellers unfamiliar with the native tongues, are treated with great hospitality
 Dr. Pyle left Juneau in March on his last trip to the westward He expects to remain in Juneau a few days before going on to Ketchikan. He travelled by plane from Bethel to Anchorage and by rail to Sew ard where he boarded the Alaska. On the plane trip to Anchorage a forced landing was made at Akiak because of motor trouble, but re- pairs were made with the loss of only one days time.

She finally married him, no doubt
with the conviction that she could
reform him. But. like the rest of his
sort, he soon tired of decent wife.
Yet this beast wasn't content with
simply discarding her, Rocco. He
wanted to put her out of his way for
good. He had her framed on charge
of shoplifting and she died in prison.
That man was as guilty of her death
| as though he had murdered her"
| Rocco had been slowly backing away
until he was within a few feet of the
open door, A quick stride and a leap
would bring him to the grounds be-
! low.
This fellow disappeared" the judge
continued. Il had only one clue to his
| identity. and unless I'm much mis-
taken he would give his right hand to
hide it. While he was courting this
girl he wanted to do something to i'm
press her-something to show how
much she meant to him. I think
you've guessed it-he had a star ana
her initials tattooed on his hand"

covered the judge. "All right" he

you think you'll ever get me on

madness in the smile. Il had no such
intention You have been far too
clever and I doubt if any jury would
convict you
Then why all this talk?" the gum
man demanded impatiently.
Because that girl was my daugh-

gray eyes were fixed mercilessly upon

| In that brief statement Rocco in

an instant he went limp, and then
the strained silence was broken as he
! fired.
Lose your nerve, Rocco?" The
| judge switched off the lamp and took
quick aim at the silhouetted figure
gliding through the open window.
Rocco staggered. then blindly emp
tied his gun as he slumped to the floor.
Damn you'll" he cursed. Il hope
you swing for this!"
Shrouded by the darkness Judge
Barnes clutched convulsively at the
edge of his desk. With an effort his
lips parted. but his deep voice gave
no indication Of his ebbing strength.
Hardly! You broke into my home.

Judge Barnes was slumped down IN

he indicated a small wall safe which
was cleverly concealed behind PIC

Does the reason matter? I'll give

Rocco placed his ear close to the wall
and expertly twirled the dial. In an
incredibly short time he Strengthened
up and threw open the safe with a
smile of triumph.
Anything else?" he asked.
You will find a small strongbox
Bring it here
Rocco found the box and placed it
on the desk.
The white-haired judge rose slowly
to his feet and clasped the folds of
his dressing gown about his thin body
as though it were his judicial robe.
Rocco" he began in a low, clear
voice. i wonder if you have any idea
what prompted my action in acquit-
ting you this morning."
The sleek gunman nodded. Sure >
he drawled sardonically. Any yegg

Il had a much bigger reason than
that. 1t so happens that am vitality

when it's on the palm of a hand
When you raised your hand to testify

Rocco hesitated and regarded the
judge through narrowed eyes. Il think
we're square on the favors. If you re
through here I'll be on my way.
Perhaps I can guess what else
is tattooed on your hand" the judge
went on. In the center of that star
are the initials NM They stand for
Marion Morgan"
At the mention of that name Rocco
suddenly turned pale. His hand moved
cautiously toward the gun that was
concealed beneath his armpit.
Il thought that name would inter-

box that Rocco brought from the safe.
He took out letter and held it up.

More than 500 players, prob.
ably the heaviest card-playing
congregation ever collected in
Washington, were on hand to

provide $500 prize to the local
winner, with $1,000 going to the
lucky person who captures the
national finals title in the con-
test slated later at the Waldorf
