All day long the big tents housing the gigantic restaurant was thronged with hungry Klansmen and Klanswomen and two tables, both more than 300 feet in length, fairly groaned with barbecue meat, coffee and other food that had been brought in by the ton to take care of the vast crowds. At the far end of the big field a speakers' stand had been erected and an amplifier with six large megaphones In a semi-circle was installed. By this arrangement, it was possible for the speakers to address a c-rowd as large as from 50,000 to 100,000 persons and be heard distinctly by all.

The long rows of Klansmen poured, forth from the horizon in seemingly never-enrHno- n n m V, a r

and sent a thrill of natrintism

through the hearts of all true Americans who viewed them. The Genesee county contingent was first in the line of march and was headed by a band which played "Onward, Christian Soldiers," as they came through the main part, of town. Horses and brooms played an important part in the Shiawassee county formation, which followed closo on the heels of the Genesee boys. Following on foot a large company of horsemen came row upon row of white robed men carrying brooms, symbolic of the clean

sweep made by the Klan in that county. The Junior order of the Ku Klux Klan -as represented by a large number of marching boys and a float representing "church, school and home, and bearing the inscription; "The j boy of today Is the man of tomorrow." Klamazoo, Oakland and Wayne counties followed, each with bands and floats. All were large delegations, the Wayne county company being the largest in the parade. "The Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution" were ' represented in the parade with a float portraying colonial times.

Klansmen were much pleased at the way citizens treated the paraders, as men and women all along the line of march carried pitchers of water and glasses to the paraders who were warm and thirsty as they marched along. Only one case of discourtesy was reported and that happened in front of a residence close to. a Catholic church passed by the parade. A woman fainted in line and when a group of people on the front porch of a house nearby were, asked for water, they refused to give it, and one woman said : "Why don't you carry water along with you to feed your hungry gang." The woman wore a crucifix. Many of the spectators were surprised at the length and gorgeousness

Whole Village of Ancients Lived in Single Building in New Mexico

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 7. The National Geographical Society's expedition, headed by Neil M. Judd, is now working in the ruins of Pueblo Bonito, N. M., giant "apartment house" or prehistoric homes. More than 300 rooms have been cleared and many kivas, or circular, ceremonial chambers, already have been exposed. The explorations revealed that Pueblo Bonito was a busy village within a single dwelling. When inhabited, it stood four stories high, included some 800 rooms, and , sheltered 1,200 or more

persons. No written record or hieroglyphic inscription was left by these ancient Americans. But it already is possible to piece together their life story from the evidence of the silent walls of their abandoned rooms and the scattered objects recovered from their deserted dwelling. Their daily activities, their civic organizations, their communal enterprises, and their struggles against more warlike tribes can be pictured. It is evident that the Bonitans, who lived in what now is the Chaco canon national monument, in northwestern New Mexico, probably had the most pretentious settlement in the southwestern United States in. pre-Columbian times. With the penetration of the Pueblo Bonito ruins, the early history of America has begun to attract world interest an interest being augmented with Jhe sending of a National Geographic society expedition

to uncover the gTeat mound of

Cuicuilco in the Valley of Mexico which may be 8,00 years old.
