advancing over the Great Lakes
region will drop temperatures as

from tho weather bureau.
The heat will not be quite so

In each case the thieves had
pass Keys to enter the plants and
knew exactly where the precision
instruments were kept.
Victims of the possible saboturs
were the Majestic Tool and Manu-

Elliott avenue.
AT the Majestic Corporation the
Ithoeves obtained slightly more
than 400 micrometers and pre-
clSlon instruments and at the Gen.
trail Company an undetermined
number OF simial tools were taken.
John w. Parker. president OF
the Majestic concern, said he was
positive that the tools were stolen
by saboteurs.

Totalitarian Ruin
By SYDNEY A. CLARK

Twenty-Five years after Hiram
Bingham discovered Machu Picchu, |
also discovered it as one of the su-
preme travel finds Of decade and
more of personal wanderings. If my
discovery did not shake the archaeo-
logical world | think it thrilled me
almost as much as Mr.. Bingham's find
could have thrilled him. And perhaps
| was even more surprised.
Mr.. Bingham, delving into the mys-
teries of Inca civilization in Peru, was
tipped off by Quechua Indian in
1911 that there were some extensive
ruins high on an Andean saddle above
a horseshoe gorge of the River Vilca-
nota, a location very similar, but on
far grander scale, to that of God
frey's castle above the Belgian village
of Bouillon. The ruins were so hard to
reach and so strangled by vegetation
(for the tropical region of eastern
Peru begins hereabouts) that even the
greedy Spanish colonlalS, loving ruins
for the treasure they presumably hid,
had never found them. Modern Peru
likewise completely overlooked them
Not even rumors of Machu Picchu had
reached Cuzco, though this Inca cap
ital, turned Peruvian, lies only eighty
miles away from the hidden city. It
was left for gringo to climb to that
lofty saddle and see the jungle-throt-
tied outline of what was to prove one
of the most sensational finds ever
made anywhere.
Coming again the next year at the
head Of the National Geographic So
ciety- Yale University Expedition, Mr..
Bingham, aided by the Peruvian gov
eminent, drove away the jungle and
barred this mystery city, which is so
mysterious, in fact, that historical
science still can only guess at its pur-
pose in such weird location.

absolute that modern creations of
similar order are nursery play by
comparison. The Inca himself was a
dictator so total" that Hitler and
Mussolini, seen in proper perspective,
are but petty martinets. He was
judge, emperor, god. He owned every
subject and every article produced in
his vast empire. He prescribed,
through deputies, every detail of life
and action for every Individual. Free
dom was not merely crushed. 1t was
an idea utterly unknown.
But Machu Picchu is a ruin, barely
to be held, by constant effort, from
the fangs of the jungle. l. find pres
ent-day comfort in this thought. Much
as admire the Incas in many ways,
their system obviously was false to
the eternal human values.
Let other dictators, in the still
watches of the night, ponder on the
story of Machu Picchu!

report states. There were 11S used
commercial fertilizer on pastures last
year compared with 10 the previous
year, and Mr.. Carter recommended
more emphasis on this.
The practice of seeding legumes
was also increasing from year to year,
it was pointed out, more than 1900
tons of lime having been used in 1910
on 925 farms participating in the
AAA program. Non-participants used
5000 tons, it was estimated, making
$4,000 tons of lime used.
Seeding of alfalfa increased, SO
farms seeding 400 acres. A total of
1,010 farms seeded 1851 acres of APP
proved red clover seed, and 1893 acres
of sweet clover was seeded to be used
for ensilage and green manure crops.
Soybeans are beginning to be used by
potato growers for soil improvement.
Improvement in the dairy industry,
beef cattle and poultry industry was
also noted. The Carnation Company is
offering an unlimited outlet for milk
and there are also other outlets listed.
There is a sour cream market at
Grantsville and the Imperial Ice
Cream company at Oakland. Some

mended continuation of all established

Use Planning committee be more ac-
tive in correlating all government
agencies in the county, thereby max

OaLland's New Fire Truck to Be Delivered Soon

This present gringo visited Machu
Picchu at the end of 1910 and was
surprised, amazed thunderstruck that
the tourist world, the almost-beaten
track, can harbor such an eighth won
der in a location that is itself as Won
derful as anything-and l really
mean anything-in Switzerland or
Norway, a marvel that can be reached
without hardship.
A group of us, Norteamericanos
and Peruvians, hired an autocarril,
which is gasoline buggy that rides
on steel rails, and set out from Cuzco
at crack of dawn by the Santa Ana
Railway, Latin counterpart of the
bonneville System. By switchbacks it
climbed high above Cuzco then
crossed great table land to enter
the canyon of the Vilcanota, which is
remote tributary of the Amazon.
Our guide entertained US with ge-
NAL patter about the Incas and the
"Spaniels" (sic) and Meester Been
gum until three and half hours had
slid through the glass and we were at
Machu Picchu station. A caro- of
strange design carried us two miles
along a riverside road to a bridge
across the river and here began a long
steep mule back climb. 1t was hard on
the animals, easy on their riders, and
after ninety minutes we found our
selves at the entrance of the city that
Hiram Bingham stole from the jun
gle.
If you picture some sort of magnif-
icent archway you will be as wrong as
possible for we had to Chamber, Indian
file, up the side of an Inca wall from
which stones protruded at regular in
tervals for steps. Continuing through
a narrow passage we came upon lit
tie platform of grass below which lay
the entire city of stone. 1t is steeply
terraced on both sides up to the sad
die. Temples and sanctuaries are nu-
merous, each built with that amazing
masonry in which the Incas excelled
huge stone blocks being fashioned and
fitted together without mortar so per-
fectly that nowhere can a knife blade
be inserted between the stones.

Wants First Husband Back.
81 have been terribly unfortunate
in my marriages, - writes an Iowa
woman. "My first was at II, my
oldest girl being born before
was 18. Her father was very young
and irresponsible, as everyone else
but myself seemed to know, and we
were Immediately divorced. Two
years later l married a very fine
fellow, but five years afterward he
had the misfortune to be injured
in the head, and was placed in an
institution. Having then two little
girls to provide for, I married for
a home-a silly mistake, but l was
desperate. A son was born of this
marriage, but owing to actual in
juries inflicted on me by
jealous, unreasonable husband he
was unable to develop like other
children and is a semi-invalid to
this day. Divorced two years later,
| made a comfortable home for my
self and my children but was obliged
to sue for my late husbands estate
for their support when my son was
five years old.
at was then l met my first hus-
band, who had gone away from our
town, put himself through medical
school by his own efforts, and OBJ
tanned really fine position. My
youthful folly in insisting on a di-
vorce cost ne very dear, for the
old attraction is still strong in us
both, and Cal has a wife and two
little sons. What l am writing to
ask you is whether l still have any
claim on him, as in some states our
divorce would not be considered
legal If he were free l believe l
could win him back"
And she sends me a sheaf of docu-
ments to prove that her marriage
while she was not of age and his
letters protesting against the divorce
and other complicated details con-
stitute illegality. The pity of it!
At 80, burdened with an invalid child
and two daughters, she would step
back into Calls life to destroy it, ruin
the happiness of his wife and sons,
and once more complicate her own
existence, this time beyond all
hope of recovery.
Patience-Mutual Confidence Needed.
Seventeen is too young for mar
riage. But many marriage begun
in the teens has proved a success,
nevertheless, and obviously this one
might have been. Patience and mu-
tual confidence and a little help from
the grownups would have carried
Cal and Sally safely through. In
finite mischief and suffering would
have been averted, and possibly
houseful of fine children would
have held both man and wife in
safety. AS it is, I'm not advising
Sally.
For one thing, she wouldn't pay
the slightest attention to advice.
She must follow her willful and mis-
chievous path to the end. But l do
ask other wives to look before they
leap to the divorce courts; see what
you can do with the material in
hand before you involve yourself in
even more complicated troubles.
