to pass entirely around the Huaca

We know that the square measured
approximately six hundred feet on
side - twenty-four hundred feet of

approach the truth of the treasure
which is buried here We know - for
give me if seem to be lecturing -
that the Spaniards strangled Alta
hualpa, last of the lncas. and that the
treachery cost them all but very
small portion of the huge ransom that
had been raised for his freedom. The
balance was hidden. Some say that it
was thrown into Lake Titicaca -"
Isn't that the treasure which is
called the Big Fish," Joan Vancamp
interrupted. "We were told about it

found it by tracing to their buried
sources the waters of a marshy pool
where the llamas and cattle drank.
Then they went "a league to the
northward, - with full knowledge
that the league of the ancient chron-
icers varied greatly, and that wearied
men, harried by pursuit and burdened
with a weight of treasure. were poor
judges of distance.
There we raised three mounds to a
height of three est0dos above the ground
and in the small temple of great rocks
we buried the chain -" at that point
the parchment had been creased and

Well Trained Comdr.
Ihrie Asserts

The Navy has found it has a real
asset in the Naval Reserve, judged
from the performance of duty by the
ofhcers and men who have been or
dered into active service, Comdr
Russell M. Ihrig, U. S. N. executive
assistant to the chief of the Reserve
division of the Bureau of Naviga-
tion, told the meeting of the Dis
trict Chapter of United States Naval
Reserve Officers Association last
night at 2400 Sixteenth street NV
Comdr. Ihrig said the Navy De-
.partment had paid little attention
to the Reserve component in prior
years, but it now was finding that
1t was a very fine outfit. He said
those ordered to active duty had
shown that they had been well
trained and able to perform eff
.ciently the duties assigned them,
both ashore and ahoat.
The chapter adopted a resolution
unanimously opposing the proposal
of the national association to sus-
pend activities during the present
emergency. 1t pointed out that
there is great need now for the asso-
c1ation to continue to function. 1t
also accepted a resolution urging
that the national officers be elected
by proxy or by mail.
The annual convention, scheduled
to have been held in Baltimore
next month, has been suspended.
Another resolution said that re-
gardleSs of the action of the national
association the District chapter will
continue to function during the
emergency, and it has ordered that
copies of the resolutions be sent
40 chapters all over the country
