DOES piece of Indian pottery hold the secret
- Of the date of the meteoric fall which created
the great Meteoric Crater the Arizona desert near
Canyon DlablO9 That is the question which savants
of the Smithsonian Institution are asking.
The piece of pottery was discovered by DR.. Walter
Hough head curator of anthrOpology of the Smith
Son!an Institution. at site about 100 miles from
Meteoric Crater 1t is an earthenware bowl of con-
ventional style. but decorated in a manner which is
unique in Indian art
Dr. Hough describes the bowl as follows: The
decoration Is dark brown globe occupying the CEN
ter Of the bowl and surrounded with field of stars
The eOCe Is covered with short Spnes alternating
dark brown and REQ. and is fitted with a beak
sembing that of the Natashka monsters. dragon
ike creatures of Hopi mythology.
Two tuftec figures on pedicels project from the
side OF the body and wiSpy tail projects downward
These appenoages are not bird-like. I have never
seen anything resembling this painting in Tusayan
art
In execution The design is quite sketchy perhaps
the work of old potter with trembling hands
The design may represent mythical creature COM

happening in nature If this figure be identi-
fed as sky happening. suggest that it is a record
OF a great meteor fall.
The orientaton of this figure would indicate that
IL was moving from the northeast The arrange
group Of three stars could stand for portion of the
northern constellation of CasSopoea.

A hyproduct of this study has been a method
Of Identifying the age of early Indian relics when

When this method Is applied TO the region where
the bowl was found 1t dates the settlement as having
existed between 1917 and 1900 a. D. Consequently
the meteor must have fallen time in this
period.
When an Indian design varies so radically from
the conventional pattern 1t is usually because some
event made profound impression upon the mind
OF the painter. DR.. Hough SAYS
Meteor Crater is great crater about 1000 feet
IN diameter Its walls $50 feet above the desert
Its interior sinks several hundred feet below the
general level of the desert Thousands of meteorites
have been found near this crater and pieces of me-
teoric iron have been dug out Of the walls of the
Crater.

today to build a
tuberculosis hospital that
can't be equipped or main
tanned.
A giant health crusade,
started in high hope, was
faced with failure, when it
was admitted that the city
government is against a
financial stone wall.
Today you can watch carpenters
building forms, and see the con-
crete men. like gOphers, in between
the forms and the walls, placing
and tamping cement.
The City Hospital grounds have
an air of importance about them.
You can hear the gathering sound
of hammers and the steady hum
ming noise of industry.
Yet these men all are laboring
on a structural white elephant
the new Flower Mission Memorial
Hospital
In homes poor men and women
are suffering today from advanced
cases of tuberculosis, and before
these unfortunate people die they
will unwittjngly transmit their
malady to friends and little chill
dren.
Simple arithmetic shows that
when the hospital is completed,
it is destined to stand stark and
empty, like some ancient tomb,
unless the city government strikes
a bonanza, or other moneys arc
advanced.
TINE city has the $4,000 need
Il ed to build the hospital, and
two small serial payments already
have been made.

Health will not have the S73, 200

ment for a year nor the $685.
which will nave to be spent for
equipment. It will be legally i'm
possible for the board to obtain
this money. officials have shown.
A peculiar chain of circum-
stances has given the city this
financial problem.
Years ago the first city tuber-
culosis hospital was built by the
Flower Mission Society, an organi-
zation made I'D of local women
WHO have dedicated themselves
to fight the disease. At that
time the city paid the mainte-
nance cost.
When that hospital became old
and unserviceable, the city
fathers realized that the taxpay-
ers would groan under the load
which would be placed on them if
the building was conditioned. AS
a result, it was dismantled.
7 ACK of adequate hospitaliza-
IL ton facilities handicapped
city health officers and private
physicians. Although Marion
County took care Of the durable
cases. the dangerous cases were
not provided for.
In the last 10 years fatalities
from the white plague" have
been reduced by so per cent. but
it still remains the principal cause
of death in the age group between
Is and 25.
Our 1888 departmental survey
showed that more than 800 chill
dren in this city were in direct
contact with open and advanced
cases of tuberculosis" DR.. Her
man G. Morgan, secretary of the
Board of Health. stated.
Couple this with the fact that
tuberculosis is essentially a dis
ease of childhood and early adol-
escence, and the fact that for Is
years we have not had an availa-

GENERAL war veterans talked
~ in a group. Three Of them
were headed toward Washington,
A lanky Georgian said he was
going to the Washington Tran
sient Bureau in order to be sent
to the FERA camp in South
Carolina.
Why come all the way to
Washington for that?" 1 asked.
That is the only Transient sta
ton in the United States where
you can get shipped out to an
FERA camp" he replied, that is,
where us veterans can. They don't
want us in Washington. So all
you have to do is show 'em you
are veteran and they ship you
right out. Roosevelt and his big
fellows are afraid of another
bonus march. Several of my
friends are already down in camp
working, and they get $50 to $46
a month.
That's better than this kind
of life" he concluded.
DO you think Roosevelt is try
ing to do right?" l asked.
Hell. nor he'd never vetoed
the bonus. But We'll get him in
SO. I'm gonna save my money

The other veterans grunted ap-
proval.
THINNER was served at 4:.30. We

slip tickets to the man in charge.
The food was good, but extremely
small in quantity and there were
no seconds.
That evening at the recreation
hall. dozen others gave similar
testimony regarding Roosevelt.
Even though he had championed
the cause of relief, they were
against him. The relief was too
little. or he had not found them
jobs. or he had not voted for the
bonus.
That many of them will have
the residences or the means Of
carrying out their threat in 1886
is highly doubtful. Those on re-
lief who are non-transients may
be in a different category; though
contact even with some of these

to turn most of his attention upon studies Of the ca
pacitv and condition of your heart 1t is interesting
to consider some of the ways by which the heart
may be attacked and by which diseases may over
whelm it.
Recently, some leading physicians analysed
thousand consecutive of heart disease IN large
clinic in Chicago. They found that more than one
factor was concerned in development Of heart dis
ease in 316 out Of 1000 cases.
Rheumatic infection leads all other causes as the
important factor. Thus rheumatic heart disease was
present in 292 cases. complicated however, in con-
siderable number of instances by other conditions
Overactvity of the thyroid gland was the cnlef

it is when the gland is acting normally.
ID HEUMATIC infection is, of course, fairly CONF

infection vary with different parts of the country
The 1000 cases here considered included 292 per cent
of rheumatic heart disease.
Figures from another Chicago hospital showed
cny 1877 per cent; in New England, an investigator
found 295 per cent, whereas in the PACING NortnWest

The Rocky Mountain and New York showed
around 40 per cent. Evidence indicates that rheu-

FINALLY, after years of work,
Il the Flower Mission Society, in
the closing days of the Sullivan
administration. got the city to
promise to construct a new tuber-
culosis hospital.
The organization agreed to fur
niSh $4,000 for the building.
Funds from the Snow-Butler fund
added $48500 more, and the re-
mainder Of the cost was borne by
the PWA.
The original plan was to pay
maintenance and equipment costs
oct of uneXpended balances from
other city departments, but aid
from this source was cut off when
the State Tax Board reduced the
city levy from S118 to $115. There
were no balances then.
Twelve cents collected on every
500 of taxable property in Indi-
annapolis goes to the Board of
Health. That figure can be
changed only by the General As
sembly.
THE Board 'of Health spends all
u of the money received from
this 12-cent levy in its other mani
fold activities.
Since a 1-cent increase in the
levy brings in an additional SAT-
600, it is obvious that to support
this new hospital after it is built
the board must have a Scent
levy increase.

With President Roosevelt's political
strength rapidly slipping, if not already

the most important questions affecting
the reelection of Mr. Roosevelt is that
of his strength with those on relief. Is
this large stratum of the population be-

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-A young
- case worker, who tried to
conceal his youth with a surface
sophistication. sat in a cardboard
partitioned cubby-hole in the Bal
timore and Aisquith-st Transient
Bureau and asked questions
How long have you been away
from home?
What kind of work did you
last Go?
What do you want-a couple
of meals and bed?
Will you leave town tomor-
row"
Obviously relieved when he got
an affirmative reply to the last
question, he made out a card for
two meals and a bath and passed
me on to the Frederick-st station.
There two signs read: "Old
Men on This Side; Young Men
on This Side"
An attendant took my coat and
trousers to be fumigated, and di-
rected me to a steel trough where
1 washed my socks, shirt and I'M
derwear. They were then hung
on wooden rack and pushed by
other attendants into a steam
drier. Large signs read: "Impor-
tant-Wash all light undercloth-
ing two times per week and heavy
underclothing once a week"
About two dozen men were
bathing at P NJ.
TINE showerbath supervisor, a
Il bald, oldish man who had

turned to another old man who
was dressing.
You and will never get a job
again. If we don't get that old
age pension it's the poor house

construction job under the new
Works program, but he replied:

want us old men. Anyhow there
won't be much left for anybody
