Not long after all this hap
pened, visitors to Tacna had an
idea what Brother Noah was up
to because he resigned as post
master. A week after that. he
gave up his job as Mayor.
And he finally shook the dust
of Tacna from his feet, perhaps
forever, when he handed over
title to his nine main buildings
and his water and power system
10 the successful bidder. c.. K.
Svensson of Wilton, Arizona,
whose first official act, after he
bought the town, was to hold an
election and name himself mayor.
News OF the sale travelled far.
Bids even came from points as
distant as Long Island, New York
and Philadelphia. The Philadel-
phia bidder had an idea he could
move his factory there but he
wasn't successful in putting over
the deal.

price for going concern.
.THfS advertisement may or
may not have appeared in
y papers around and about
Tacna, Arizona, but the fact is
that Brother Noah, baptized Max
Noah, has disposed of his prop
erty-and his home town-in the
Southwestern Arizona desert and
is offering his 55-year-old serv-
ices to Uncle Sam.
When the crowd of prospective
buyers gathered around for the
sale, Brother Noah stood up and
auctioned off everything he
owned in the little hamlet except
a few boards. And he was pa
triotic to the last. When the
bids for the fixtures of his
garage, service station. cafe, bar,
laundry, post office, half a dozen

Made an Apron of.
Human Bones

A AMY weird symbols are
M used by the medicine men
W. of primitive peoples to
cast out demons and evil spirits
but the Field Museum in Chi
cago thinks it has recently put
on display one Of the most I'M
usual ever to come to light.
This Is a ceremonial apron
used in certain rites of the weird
religion of Tibet and it is made
of human bones.
Once the visitors to the spe-
cial exhibit in the Museums hall
80 have overcame a naturally
gruesome feeling in connection
with the ancient apron they can
see that the human relicts that
constitute it are all beautifully
carved.
Forty-one large plaques, all
deliberately constructed Of bones
that once held up a man and
connected by double chains of
both round and square bone
beads, make up the apron.
The larger pieces are con-
structed of thigh bones and the
grotesque figures carved on them
represent different deities whom
the ancient Tibetians wor-
SHIPPED. The small bones have
on them the different symbols
of the cult of the Lamas.
What sets this weird apron
apart from most other objects of
a similar nature is the technical
excellence of the relief work on
the bones. The deep marks of
wear and tear also show that the
specimen is Of great antiquity.
Another object also on view
with the bone apron is a drinking
cup made out of a human skull
and used in a strange form of
ancestor worship. The Museum S
I
experts said that it was often the
custom for a son to preserve his
fathers skull and TO drink from
it TO the old gentleman's men,
DRY on the occasion of his dead
parents birthday.
In fact, drinking from such
weird glasses" was quite the
thing among the inhabitants of
Tibet. Some of these containers
notably the skulls of fathers used
by their sons-were lined with
brass or gilded copper and were
fitted with finely chased metal
lids.
Such gruesome goblets were
also used to toast the gods that
these religious-minded folks in
the great mountain Businesses of
Asia spent most of their time
worshiping.

The Illinois authorities plan to
use this police station on wheels
in and around the smaller towns
where crime detection equipment
is not readily available. With II,
the police will be able TO hit a
criminals trail within a few min
utes or hours after a crime has
been committed.
State police authorities through
out the nation are closely watch
ing the Illinois experiment. If II
proves successful other police
forces may adopt the same or a
similar system especially in some
Of our Western States where po-
lice laboratories are few.

For use in other possible emer-

on wheels is also outfitted with
the latest in fire-fighting and

able and how to take advantage OF them.
5. OF course u would be vnwise for
you to take your policies with you. Since,
however, you might need certain infor-

mated in your policies is the person to

mated, you should consider naming one
to avoid the necessity of having an adj
