- Ordered to Stop “Deception” The federal trade commission has ordered Hanford F. Smith to stop '“deception” in connection with the correspondence school, he conducts from his home in Elkhart. o /The ‘commission said Smith had advertised his courses as those of Princq ton University and that he had conferred degrees purporting to be Prince ton’s whereas his institution was an independent “one man” concern. Robbery Motive in Slaying. : A desire to boast of his imaginary wealth is believed to liave cost life of Arthur Kare who was killed Tuesday night at South Bend when struck over the head with an ax. Karg iti s said, often spoke of the money which he carried, and business exploits, although in reality he hadn’t enough money to pay his rent.

No Record Exists of =~ \ World Without Wheat ~ While the public revels in the marvels of Tut-Ankh-Amen’s tomb the Egzyptologists have dropped back another couple of millenniums and are earnestly discussing the diet of the predynastic Egyptians. Careful study of their mummified stomachs reveals traces of barle? husks, but not of wheat. = Therefore, argues Elliot Smith, that remote people lived in a prewheat civilization. Professor Per cival disagrees, insisting that the Egyptlans would have removed its busks before eating it, leaving noth ing tough enough to resist decay. Time may bring new -data, but for the present Elliot Smith seems to have the better of the ‘argument. All prior guesses as to the kitchen habits of 5,000 or 6,000 years ago are a bit uncertain. But if the Egyptologists have already discovered a prewheat civilization they have dived deep into the past. For wheat grains are found back through the numbered dynasties of Egypt, in the ruins of the first neolithic settlement which underlies the site of Homer's Troy and in the prehistoric dwellings of the Swiss lake dwellers. Wheat, too, was one of the five plants solemnly sown each year by the emperor of China, accord-" ing to rites which seem to go back to 2800 B, C : ]

- Where wheat originated no man knows. Efforts have been made ‘to trace it to its ancestral plant, but they have never been certainly successful. As soon as a botanist discovers a wild plant closely akin to it some other scientist suggests that the “wild” plant is a degenerate escaped from cultivation. The Swiss lake dwellers had two distinct species, one of which is quite different from anything found in the ancient Egyptian _tombsf The earliest Persian writings note wheat as’ an old-established plant, but the usual guess is that it originated in Mesopotamia. Some day, doubtless, the sands of Mesopotamia will be as carefully raked as those of Egypt and yield as rich additions to man’s knowledge of his origins; today it is safe to attribute the origin of almost anything to Mesopotamia, bacause we know so little about it.

Bridge Easily Operated An entire bridge weighing 8,000,000 pounds is folded up like a jack-knife or. unfolded in 45 seconds by eight 80-horse-power electric motors “in Brooklyn, N. Y. It is a new bascule ‘bridge .over Flushing creek—the ! largest lift bridge in the world—jwhich is now nearing completion for electric traln and vehicular traffic. The bridge is composed of two leaves 152 feet long, each weighing 4,000,000 pounds, and each counterweighted so delicately that a small amount of electric power:wlll handle it. The bridge has to be raised periodically to permit the passage of vessels in the river. The speed of the motors in opening and closing the “knife blades” will cut down traffic delays. . Got Desired Notoriety “That gent strutting' along on the other side of the street is Anson Inchways, the most extravagant man in the hull of New England!” said the landlord of the tavern at Oxoboxo.“Actually and truly he lit g cigar with a bran-new dollar bill! They arrested him; thought he was crazy—but they found out after a spell that he was doing it just for the notoriety. He got it, too, for there ain't anything that will make a man famous quicker here thfan being a spendthrift.”—Kansas City Star. - Wan Out on His Point In checking up on the time cars were parked at Redlands, Calif,, the police found a horse and buggy that had been there more than the allotted time. A ticket was placed on the whip socket ordering the awner to appear in ‘court. And in a short time F. G. Chevalier did appear and sald, “Judge, that ordinance applies only to motor vehicles and you can't book me.” The judge got the ordinance and found that Chevalier was right. Thread Quickly Prepared The process of treating flax for the purpose of making linen is a prolonged one, the same as was made use of 4,000 years ago. The flax is treated ‘to a bath:in running water for several days and then the stalks are beaten to remove the undesirable part, leaving - only the lengths of fiber. A recent announcement is to the effect that a mechanical treatment has been devised by which the operation is ac- ' complished in a few hours. ol ie e : From the Heights Roger Wolfe Kahn, Otto Kahn's musical genius of a son, praised, at a dinner at Pierre’s, a new novel. - “It's already in its eighteenth edition,” said Mr, Kahn. “The poor devil who wrote it was on his last legs—starving and freezing in an attic, in fact, when success came to him, Well, nothing surprising about that." Mr. Kahn smiled and added: “It's from our attics that we get our sellers.” ; Oil Production a Gamble" The average life of an oil well is quite variable. The rate of development is very important. Rapid drilling and rapid production will lessen -the life, while gradual drilling andgradual production will lengthen the life. New methods of recovery and other things enter into it. Oil wells In the United States now in operation seem tg produce between 10 and 23 years, accord{y to‘locgsi%: s Dies Result of Fall, Five hours after he had suffered a fractured skull in a fall from the roof of his home where he had gong to escape the heat Thomas Pallatin 40 died in a hospital at South Bend: ~Now is the time to pay your Banner ‘subscription—DO IT NOow!

STRONG CITIES OF PHILISTIA NO MORE Reduced by Time to Squalid Villages. How keenly in our childhood we hated the Philistines! With the eager partisanship of youth we sided with Sawmvuel, Saul and David against these murderous foes and sympa hized with the doughty Hebrews in their fight against Philistia as we did with the Swiss under Willlam Tell against the Hapsburgs or with the Scots under Wallace against King Edward L As a matter of fact the Philistines were a 4 great people, probably the last inheritors of the Minoan civilization of Crete, and some scholars even believe that to them we owe the origin of our alphabet, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick writes, in the Ladies’ Home Journal. So powerful were they| so impressive in their influence, that thelrs is the name we call the country by, for Palestine”is the Greek for Philistia. They swept down on the coasts of Egypt, a part of that vast migration of peoples which brought the Dorians to Greece and the Hebrews to Palestine and made the few centuries after 1400 B! C. so restless and significant. We. went down to the coastal plain of a purpose to see what is left of the Philistines. Five strong cities once were theirs. Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron. Gaza, near the seacoast, still is there, one of the largest towns in Palestine, where 15 wells of water make a livable spot in the haren sand. A cenwtery with 3,000 British graves bears witness to its importance in the World war. Across the centuries its history runs clear, for it lies oni the inevitable. route of all in‘aders. From Napoleon Bonaparte, who captured it in 1799, to the Philistinés who had seized it some 3,000 years before, it has been one of the most fought for cities in the world. But there is nothing left to make one think of the Philistines. One.can only recall the mingled folklore and history of that ancient time. Here was the scene of Samson’s exploit ‘when he carried off the city gates and of his final tragedy when he pulled down Dagon’s temple on the worshipers. Here 'the Philistines lived on after the Hebrews had driven them from the ridge, giilty of an extensive and cruel slave trade for which Amos cursed the city. Here gs late as the Seventh century B. C. the Philistines still persisted and Zephaniah the prophet was foretelling woes for them. Ashdod also exists. As everywhere on this coastal plain, highroad of numberless invasions as it has been, one hears at Ashdod the echo of endless wars. The longest siege recorded in history occurred here when, according to Herodotus, Psammetichus besieged the city for 29 years. Here, too, memories of New Testament days come in, for Ashdod in the Greek language was Azotus, and Philip the evangelist preached here. As for the Philistines, however, they are gone and all the memorials of them perished utterly. Only a picturesque village of mud brick houses, with- 5,000 people in it, marks the ancient site.

: Her End - . Count von Hoogstraeten, who recently took out his first papers toward naturalization, said to a New York reporter the other day; “I am not the mercenary wretch that some pegple pretend. Why, some-peo-ple i),x“eéud,“ he went on, with a grim gmile, “that I'm as mercenary as the girl in the roadhouse story. . “A very nice old gentleman proposed to a girl in a roadhouse. She was beautiful—one of those nude dancers, in fact—and the ald gentleman took her hand in his and proposed eloquently, Then he wound up! “‘lI am not young, but a man, darling, is only as old as he feels.’ “She laughed and patted his withered cheek caressingly. - “‘Oh. I ain’t worrin’ about that} end of it, grandpop,” she said. ‘What I want to know is, are you ag pich as you look?" ” v | | Future Executives ; - Although the “white-collar” job hag been the target of much criticism ang satire lately, it is from the ranks of the “white-collar” workers that mest of the executives in the business weorld ‘are drawn, according te Alfred P. Sloam, Jr., president of the General Motors eerporation, In an article in “It is a mistake,” Mr. Sloan sgys“‘ “for the man who hopes te reach an executive job in the factory to start at a machine or workbench. The young man who leaves school when ha reaches the eighth grade would bet. ter start as a shop workman. He may. hope to rise to a foreman’s job. But the future - executive would better start as a shop clerk in a small plant, keep his eyes open, and study.” i Five Eclipses This Year . Two eclipses of the moon and three ~of the sun, as well as the return of several periodic comets, are ameong the astronomical events slated for 1927, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Of the eclipses, only one will attract much attention. It occurs on June 29 and will be visible in England early in the morning, the first eclipsa seen there for two centuries. June 15, - an eclipse of the moon will be witnessed throughout the United States at 3:13 . m., eastern standard time; the moon will be completely hidden by a shadow of the earth. The ather -eclipse of the moon takes place in December but will not e visible in the United Statea, ' e g it | DPriver Falls Asleep. = ~ William Housman Jr., of Monyesser, Pa., fell asleep while driving his Henderson motor on the Lincoln highway about four miles east of Goshen Wed-. nesday afternoon and crashed into the rear of a Chevrolet touring car driven by Glen Hapner slightly damaging Hapner’s machine, . = |

FIND THAT INDIANS = - ENGAGED IN TRADE | ———————— . S 'Archeologists Have Proof in } Relics Found. That trade relations existed between the prehistoric Indian groups in America, though they were ‘separated by geographic barriers and tribal enmi ties, is further evidenced in a collec_tion of archeological objects from the Columbia River valley, in the state of | Washington, obtained by the Smithsonian institution. The relics were gathered and are now being classified by Herbert W. Krieger, curator of ethnology at the National museu, under the Smithsonian, - : Among the artifacts found by Mr. Krieger at the ancestral homes deserted by the Columbia River Indians more than 100 years ago are catlinite pipes from:Minnesota and pipes from ‘the Pueblo region in the Southwest; abalone shell charms from Alaska; \haliotis shélls. from southern Califor- '1 nia, and dentalium beads from the Pa-“ cific coast. The typé of subterranean | house is identlcal with that to be. found in Alaska, the Aleutian Islands and Siberia.. Yet the Columbia River Indians had no means of transportation to take them over the mountains and they were held to the river for their food supply. As a tribe they were nonmigratory, but individuals ‘made casual trips for trading and hunting purposes.. - Mr. Krieger's study has established the link which has been missing to show the continuity of culture among the early inhabitants of America from British Columbia to-the Pueblo tribes of the Southwest. Customs sifted through from one community to another, much as the Indians themselves spread, no doubt, from Asiatic ancestors who drifted in ages ago. That the Columbia River Indians established themselves in'the valley before the time of the domestication of the the pig, sheep and horse in Asla, before the invention of the wheel or the cultivation of cereals seems evident from the reconstruction of their clyilization. s ; The Columbia River valley _was thickly settled, possibly the meost:populous Indian center of early times, according to Mr. Krieger. For 500 miles, from The Dalles in Oregon to the Canadian border, the camp sites and burial grounds line the river banks.. These. - Indians were masters of the stone worker's art, as the Smithsonian ceollection shows: they cultivated only tobacco and got their food from the river and from roots. The dead were cremated with their possessfons, or buried in cemeteries on islands in the river. ' Samples of the picture writing practiced by the Indians abound. The markings are about half an inch deep, usually made in columns of basalt, Animals, such as sheep, goats, deer and elk were commonly represented ; also the human figure: conventional designs, such as the rising sun, and mnemonic or memory writing, consisting of arbitrary signs understood by the members of the tribe. The writing was apparently more a means of artistic expression than a method of conveying thought, according to Mr, Krieger. Only one picture of a horse has been found. ¥t was the introduection of the horse about 1750 which broke up this old civilization in the Columbia River valley, for with® the ‘horse, the group became mobile. It is an interesting fact that the horse in North America - spread from a nuctews formed by g few which escaped from Coronado’s troops in 1541.

No More Shaving!’ : It is possible that before, long men will no longer need to sh%&e every morning, and women will have nol more worries with bobbed hair. As a result of experiments carried out by an English naturalist, the |! grawth of the hair can be regulated.|’ During experiments a strain of mice were produced whose heads became bald in 16 days. A few days later they lost the fur on their backs, and a little later all their hair had gone. Another scientist has been making discoveries about the life of a halr. He kept a reeord of one of his hairs for seven years, and found that it grew on .only 264 days in a year. In summer he found that hairs ‘get a quarter of am inch longer than fn|. winter. : ; % '~ Redwood for the East ~ First experiments in planting California redwood in the East for com- - mercial purposes -will be made soon, - when a small shipment of redwood seedlings will be set out in Natural Bridge and other national forests of Virginia, H.
