40-ROOM HOME OF 2.000 YEARS AGO IS FOUND 20-Centuries-old Secrets of Toltecs of Mexico Are Laid Bare. BY JOHN R. MORRIS I'nitfd Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Aug. 24.—The twenty-centuries-old secrets of the Toltecs, described in myth and legend as the first bearers of arts and knowledge to Mexico, were given new archeological significance today with announcement of important excavations at famous San Juan Teotihuacan. The ruins of a great forty-room home, in which once lived an important personage of the Toltec period, many articles of pottery, Images and jade ornaments have been discovered in excavations thirty miles northeast of Mexico City. The age of the house was estimated at 2,000 years or more. Dr. Sigvald Linne of the state museum of natural history at Stockholm, directed the excavations and Dr. Mauuel Camio, foremost expert in the Teotihuacan zone, described the discoveries as the most important made in the district. Turning the cold light of scientific research on the period in which the legendary hero, Quetalcoatl, was supposed to have been associated with Toltecs, the excavators dug into the burled ruins of the ancient house to recover Toltec pottery, jade and bone ornaments, and a clay statue of the Aztec harvest god, Xipetotec, which was four feet tall. The Toltecs were once supposed to have been dominant in a large part of Mexico, living chiefly ill the valley region and taking their name literally from “the place of tules or rushes." Toltec and Teotihuacan are different names for the same period, which was supposed to have reached its peak about 900 A. D. The Toltec influence extends over a large area, although the most important ruins of the period are near Mexico City. In Yucatan and other late Maya regions the Toltec civilization left a mark on the early people of the country.

Here’s the way tne federal government's home loan plan will work in actual practice: Mr. and Mrs. Jones decide to build a home, or they need to refinance a mortgage on a home they built several years ago.

Seeing the Unseen Brings Gold to County Employe

Collector of Omitted Taxes Was Paid $42,571 in 1931. Hunting for a needle in a haystack would be a “snap" for one of the county’s two highest paid employes, who, this very moment, may be searching some citizen’s pillow slip for bonds or glancing suspiciously at his bank roll. This Sherlock Holmes of the county government is W. F. Charters, collector of omitted taxes. His pay, which is handsome, depends on his near-magic ability to see the unseen. For trailing the tax dodger he receives a stipend of 35 per cent of all money collected. So far, his pay check has escaped the campaign reduction. Consequently, he goes his way prying into sequestered vaults, checking incomes, and feeling the money pulse of the rich, turning a deaf ear to economy pleas of budget makers. For he knows he gets no pay unless he works and good pay if he does. During 1931, Charters was paid $42,571.09, commissioners’ records show. In previous years the claims for

money needed for the building of the home or the refinancing of the mortgage.

The building and loan official goes to the district home logn bank, of which he is a member and a stockholder, for 60 per cent of the total amount of the loan wanted by Mr. Jones. In isolated cases, the home loan branch banks may make loans direct to home owners who have been unable to get the money through a local building and loan or insurance firm. Provision for this still is in vague and rather confusing terms

his services are said to have totaled more than $50,000. The county treasurer is the only officeholder who salary is greater, and his income was cut by the recent legislature. Charters’ present contract with the county began Jan. 1, 1932, and will expire Dec. 31, 1932. CITY JEWISH PEOPLE AID PALESTINE WOODS Contribute 250 Trees for Planting in George Washington Forest. Jewish residents of Indianapolis have contributed 250 trees for planting in the George Washington forest in Palestine, Jewry’s part in the Washington bi-centennial being observed this year. Myro Glass, cantor of Temple. Beth-El Zedeck, is chairman of the local tree committee. Pine and eucalyptus trees are being planted on a portion of the Plain of Esdraelon. The project is one of bcth sentiment and utility, as forestation is considered one of the vital needs of some sections of Palestine.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

supreme court probably will hear the case some time this winter, and how it will work in actual practice remains to be seen. Government officials expect that -j only a negligible portion of the loans will be handled direct.

The home loan bank gets its share of the $125,000,000 set aside for that purpose by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and from this fund makes a loan to Mr. Jones’ building and loan association.

[’ PAY YOU 12.

The R. F. C. gets its money from bond sales by the U. S. Treasury, into which Mr. Jones pays his pro rata share of taxes. The home loan money, however, eventually is to be repaid by the home owners, and, according to advocates of the plan, will not result in increased taxes. proclaims Tabor day Governor Leslie Calls Attention to Needy of State.

FIVE-DAY WEEK NOT IN HOOVER PARLEY_PLANS President’s 3-Day Meeting on Economic Problems to Open Thursday. WASHINGTON Aug. 23.—The five-day week as a means of spreading employment will not be discussed at the three-day economic conference called by President Herbert Hoover to meet here beginning Thursday. Credits to business, industry and agriculture and other phases of providing employment are the chief subjects of the agenda. In explaining the purpose of the conference, a White House spokesman said it would be limited in scope to industrial and commercial problems. Apparently in reply to criticism of labor and agricultural groups because they have not been invited, it was pointed out that the conferees would consist of committees named in each federal reserve district two months ago. They have been studying various problems, and now find

Pension Fund Gets Benefit of Trade in Old Bottles

Beer Containers Seized, Sold Back to Brewers, Seized Again. A thriving business which makes profits that are used for the benefit of the police and fireman’s pension fund was revealed today by Chief Mike Morrissey. All the requirements of success—an adequate source of supply, low overhead, and buying low and selling high—are to be found in the business which the police department conducts in old bottles. Since the recent order of Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer that liquor raiding squads are required to bring all evidence to headquarters, police have been stor-

it necessary to co-ordinate their work. The most persistent critic of the personnel of the conference has been the American Federation of Labor. Besides urging that labor representatives be included, it has pointed out that a fundamental to improving employment conditions is a shorter work week. Other groups, including New England industrialists, have suggested this remedy. The White House takes the posi-

ing several hundred beer bottles daily. At regular Intervals the bottles are emptied, gathered together, and sold to used bottle merchants. The pension fund gets the proceeds. The secret of the success, however, is that the bottles, or a large proportion of them, find their way back into hands of “beer-joint” operators. Sooner or later another raid is made, and the bottles are resold. The number of times this procedure is repeated is governed only by the number of times bottles are used to contain illicit beer —and how else could they be used? “Everything will be fine. If we’re not required to smash all bottles found in raids,” Morrissey explained.

tion, however, that the five-day week is not applicable to many industries at this time, and offers no immediate solution. Some industries, it was pointed out, are on a two-day basis, some on a four, and others can provide only a few hours’ work each day. Until conditions improve, it is not felt the shorter week as embraced in the five-day week is a pressing problem. The administration feels that the worst of the credit strain has passed.

SEN. ROBINSON IS BACK HOME Visits Caribbean Islands on Tour. Senator Arthur R. Robinson, who is a member of the senate foreign affairs committee, has returned from a junket through the Caribbean, most of the trip was by air. He visited Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Virgin islands. Senator Robinson said “when I i came back Monday to New York I hardly recognized the town. In my four weeks absence a surprising change has been wrought. Things looked, in fact, marvelously like the old New York of three or four years ago. In the absence of Senator James E. Watson, the junior senator predicts “a strong upturn in all phases of commerce, agriculture and industry to come about the middle of September.” Robinson made a similar trip through the Pacific last year on the United States transport Henderson.
