lINDY'S MAYAN CITIES ARE IN DENSE JUNGLE Two Are Near Enough to Lakes for Planes to Bear Explorers. Bt firirnct Kf rrirt WASHINGTON. Oct. 18 —ln discovering lour ruined Mays cittes dotted on the great unexplored area of the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico the airplane flights of Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lfndberg and Carnegie institution archeologist* have given a better conception of the line of growth of the ancient Maya emulation. The newly discovered cities lie In a line stretching northeastward from the Old Empire region of the Maya, located largely In what Is now the state of Guatemala, where the civilization emerged about the time of Christ. The newly found ruins connect this older area with the New Empire region, on the north end of Yucatan peninsula. Chichen Itza is the outstanding example of this New Empire culture. Flying over unmapped dense tropical jungles, the Lindbergh party sighted three ruined cities definitely determined to be “new.” A fourth city, one of the largest found, may be anew discovery, but it may prove to be one seen by Dr. Thomas Gann some years ago in the vicinity of Lake Bacalar. Approach Is Laborious Many months, and perhaps years, will be required to investigate and explore the cities located from the air. Many weeks of hard travel by land will be necessary to place land parties at the ruins. But when the broken temples are rescued from the enveloping vegetation, there will be available a better idea of the spread of the Maya, who more than fifteen centuries ago rose from primitive simplicity to a complex state with highly developed religion, government and monumental architecture. How and when the center of Maya culture shifted from the Old Empire region to the New Empire has been one of the unanswered questions. The connecting cities now found probably will supply the answer. Nearly as exciting to archaeologists as finding new ruins is the fact that no cities were found in the area of the Mexican state of Campeche, which was surveyed on the second day’s flight from Merida southward. Coupled with the discovery of the ruined cities farther to the east, the absence of Maya settlement sites in the western part of the Yucatan peninsula is significant in explaining the spread of the Maya civilization. Ruins in Flat Country The four discovered ruins are located in flat country. From the air the raised temple mounds could be seen twenty miles away in some cases. But giant trees and dense vegetation rise about a hundred and fifty feet to shroud the glistening white stones with which time has dealt severely. Only by flying low over the area could the central temples of the cities be seen and studied from the speeding airplane. The first ruined city, seen on the first day’s flight, is located in the southeast corner* of the state of Campeche, some fifty miles from the Guatemalan boundary line. Situated in the heart of uninhabite jungles, far from lakes of any kind, it will present a difficult objective to land parties. Os the three cities discovered in Quintana Roo during the most fruitful fourth day flight, two are located sufficiently near lakes to allow early exploration by parties transported by air to tlies’e lakes. The city near Lake Bacalar is probably more extended in area than the others. The last city discovered and the one nearest the coastal ruins of Tulum is the least accessible of the three, due to the absence of water near it on which an airplane might land.

LESS NERVOUS, SLEPT BETTER Texas Lady Was Weak and Restless Until She Took Cardui. Mrs. Rhoda Holley, of Italy, Texas, says: “I was very much run-down. At night I suffered from sleeplessness, and I was restless and nervous. My joints ached. “I was very weak and at times could scarcely leave my bed. My work was a drag. Some days I could do nothing at aIL “My mother asked me why I did not try Cardui, which she had read about. I thought that was a good idea, and began taking it at once. I soon began to feel better. “The improvement in my health was noticeable after I had been taking Cardui about a week. I was less nervous and I slept better. I was so grateful that I continued it for some time. I took several bottles and think it is a fine medicine. I gained after taking it, both in health and strength.” Thousands of women have written to tell how they have obtained relief through the use of Cardui Having helped so many others. Cardui should help you, too. fCARDUI USED BY WOMEN OVER SO YEARS^ CardosepUc, for hygienic reasons, should be used by women rs a safe, effective detergent. 50 cts. "V .
