ANCIENT INCAN FORT IS FOUND BY EXCAVATORS Peruvian Stronghold Found Equal of Medieval Castles. r ir fffifaff Imfff LIMA. Prru. Nov. 8 —What a medieval American fortress was like, in the days of the Incas In Peru, is shown by excavations of archaclovi>ts of the Peruvian national museum here. The fortress of Sacsahuaman, now uncovered from four centuries of accumulated earth, reveals that Incan warriors lived and fought m stone forts as cunningly planned and constructed as medieval castles of Europe's knights, m The Incan fortress was leveled ty Pizarro's men in the Spanish conquest days and since then only h ersay has told what the famous place was like. The fort served as the Incan capital in time of war. It stood on a hill on the outskirts of Cuzco, peacetime capital of the Incan empire Incan kings took rrfuge in the fort and there they hid the sun god's gold. Fxravation d.rected by Luis E. Villacarcel reveal the old defense wills of the fortress. Moats,Separate Walls On three sides, where it is very steep, a single cirrumvalting stone rempart suffices. The fourth side, easy of ascent, if guarded by three walls, one within the other, each at a higher level, and very strangely planned The walls zig-zag in wnty-three sharp angles across; the entire way of approach. In bird's-eye view, these walls suggest seme Peruvian zig-zag pottery design. But they had this odd shape for stability. Wide avenues and moats separate the walls, but they connect at certain places through doors which closed by means of movable stone blocks. The zig-zag bulwarks are constructed of enormous blocks, the largest about twenty feet long and weighing many tons. These walls built without cement are marvels of brute force. The quary from which the rock must heve come is miles away over mountains. The legend of the "Tired S'one." an uncut boulder half way down the slope, reflects on Indian labor methods. Thousands of Inri nns hauling simultaneously on j rrpes. according to the story, could not make the grade. The stone sweated blood in the effort. Round Reservoir Described Many walls and foundations have b"rn uncovered on the fortress hill, j A round building seventy feet across is a maze of small passageways. | Through its three concentric circular walls, canal-like stone trenches radiate in every direction. Garcilazo de ia Vega, native Incan historian living after the Spanish Conquest, described a great round reservoir, like this, at Sacsahuaman Water was said to have been siphoned from another mountain. as there were no springs on Sacsahuaman. Archaeologists have found no trace of a siphon, but the many subterranean canals do suggest that the round structure was a reservoir. The conduits lead to all the buildings whose foundations have now been excavated, and some even extend down to the three zigzag walls. A second important maze-like building on this hilltop, with walls still several yards in height, has diors narrower at top than bottom. Two long rooms are serrated with rows of closet-like niches in the walls. •Vanity Case’ Found This building Is thought to be a military barracks mentioned by chroniclers who saw the place before it was dismantled. The Spaniards blasted ramparts and buildings with powder, rolling loosened blocks down the hill for building

S3 FLAT RATE FOR AUTO TAGS IS URGED Hoovier Motor Club to Ask Legislative Action. Organized motorists of Indiana will ask the next general assembly to reduce automobile registration fees to a flat rate of S3 for all cars, Tod Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club secretary-manager, announced today. “When th n motorist pays his property tax on his automobile, he has done his part as a property holder and it is unfair to tax him again for the benefit of property owners who do not possess automobiles,” Mr. Stoops said. He stated that the five American Automobile Association motor clubs in Indiana are backing the movement for a $3 fee. the new Cuzco that stands on the site of the old. A marble “vanity case,” with verrrv’lion, blue and yellow face colors still in it, just as it was dropped ar.d broken by some last defender of Sacsahuaman. was among the numerous articles found in the earth covering the ruins. The marble block had six cylindrical compartments for holding face paint with lids to cover them. Incas manning Sacsahuaman in its last days no doubt esteemed the wool-giving llama highly. Many figures of these animals carved in stone were found in the debris. T-shaped copper axes were also present in great numbers.

We iron and fold all fiat pieces —this includes all bed, bath and table linen, bedspreads, quilts, comforts, washable rugs. We include starching if you desire it. We iron and finish men's shirts in Rough Dry for 10c each if requested. You can readily see that the name “Rough Dry” gives mighty little real information as to the true nature of the service. In fact, to a lady who knows nothing about it, the name “Rough Dry” probably sounds very meaningless. Ask any Laundry, or any Laundry Routeman for information about Rough Dry. In fact, a great many housewives can tell vou about it.

PATRONAGE TO BE DISCUSSED BY DEMOCRATS McNutt, Minton, Kern and Others to Meet at French Lick. The patronage situation, always a vexing problem that follows in the wake of a sweeping political victory, will be discussed during the weekend at a conference at F-ench Lick between Governor Paul V. McNutt and his advisers. Among those who will attend the powwow are Frank McHale, Virgil Simmons and Bowman Eider, who were the Governor's advisers during the 1933 legislature; Paul Fry. state excise director; Lieutenant-Gover-nor M. Clifford Townsend; MayorElect John W. Kern, Omer Jackson, state Democratic chairman; Walter Boetcher, Marion county Democratic chairman, and William E. Clauer, Marion county treasurer and former county chairman. Os course. Pleas Greenlee, the Governor's executive secretary, will be there because a patronage meeting without Pleas would be a nodecision affair. Shermar. Minton. United States senator-elect, also will attend, but Senator Frederick Van Nuys will not. There are several important posts in the state administration to be filled, as well as the apportioning of smaller jobs. Lawrence Sullivan, Princeton, newly elected state auditor, has been chief deputy to State Auditor Floyd Williamson, so the former’s deputyship will be at issue. So will be the post of chief hearing judge in the automobile license department. This office will be vacated by August Mueller, Indianapolis, new secretary of state. A third important post is that of chief deputy clerk of the supreme and appellate courts. It now is held by John Gould, Shelbyville, who may be reappointed. He is not considered politically “wrong” and has made a good record in managing the ffice. CAMPHOR-MUSTARD-GUARANTEED TO END ACHES AND PAINS Rheumatic pains in legs, arms, chest and other parts, also pains from bruises and sprains; earaches, toothache, etc., will entirely disappear in a few minutes if you rub them with “Skoot.” This is a fine, old German liniment containing camphor, mustard, oil wintersreen and several other pain killing agents. It is safe and sure and seldom fails. Skoot is sold on money back guarantee by Hook. Haag. Walgreen and other druggists. Ask for “Skoot.” 35 cents per bottle. —Advertisement.

Rough Dry is a great moneysaving service. This is especially true now, since the price has been reduced to Bc. Yet the name “Rough Dry” is NOT exactly a descriptive name. To illustrate what we mean by a “descriptive” name, there's “Damp Wash” for example. In Damp Wash we wash everything, and return it damp, ready for ironing. It’s a good service—a muchneeded service —a service most attractively priced (only 4 1 oc a pound, the latter half of each week) —and, because of these advantages, would naturally be extremely popular—but we believe the very XA M E itself has helped enormously to introduce it into so many homes. Now, Rough Dry is a much l>etter service—actually more for the patron’s money than Damp Wash and. in our opinion, a really descriptive name for “Rough Dry” will introduce it into more homes. Put on your thinking cap—go after one of those prizes. Remember, this is not a contest in brilliance, or in literary ability—it's just an application of plain common sense.
