Told Torture Tale

S. C. I»RE\0 COMPANY

A story of almost unbelievable :ruelty was brought to light when Lena Persians (above). 12, of Camden, N. J., thin and emaciated, told authorities of how her father bound her legs with chains and made her virtually a slave. For the past two years, the girl says, she has been working from five in the morning until two the following morning, only having time out to go to school. The S.P.C.A. is investigating the case.

HARNESS HORSE ENTERS NEW ERA OF POPULARITY NEW YORK, (UP)—With harness racing again making a strong bid for j prominence, the trotting horse once more is entering the field of its greatest glory, but in a setting as vastly different as that of more than a half century ago. New York, with its jammed streets and sidewalks, honking and screech ing automobiles, roaring street cars and elevated trains, may find it hard to believe, but until less than <!0 years ago. the townsfolk took their harness racing not only seriously but in the very heart of what now are among our maddest ommercial districts. Today, the sport itself is as color - ful as it wa then, hut the scene has shifted to the historic little town of Goshen, ■where the price of enough land for a die race track doesn’t beggar the World war debt. There in the picturesque neighborhood, which gave the world Hambletonian, the l!).'i2 clas c of the game, the $60,000 Hambletonian Stake, will be run again on Aug 17 for the third consecutive season, with William H. Cane, New J. i ey sportsman and fan. again playing nost. and with the Goshen hospital beneficiary of the char-

ity event.

Rut the obi boys battled as viciously for a bottle b wine ot picnic lunch in 1873 as thi 1932 driver will campaign for first money in the $60,000 purse at Go-hen this summer. Walter Cox, the veteran trainer for Cane’s Goon Time Stable at Goshen, recalls the stoiy that a dislike of Commodore W. H. Vanderbilt’s al-

TREATY NEEDED TO SAVE LANDS ON RIO GRANDE

CHICLE HUNTER FINDS ANCIENT MAYAN CITY SAN FRANCISCO. (UP)—Like to chew gum ? Go right ahead—the archaeologists | are all for it, too, and the art of crunching a healthy molar in a tasty hit of chicle soon may become a sort of pleasant duty, a sign that you’re j willing to do your bit for the advance- j ment of civilization. Elevation of gum chewing to such comparative heights may seem out of line with the past teachings of eti- | quette—but there was a time when tomatoes were regarded as poisonous, pepper was a dessert, and spinach was less highly valued than dandelion

greens.

Chewing gum owes its rise in in tellectuai esteem to the fact that it was the indirect cause of one of the most valuable archaeological discov eries in recent months, deep in the jungles of Guatemala. A chicle hunter, looking for more chkle for gum hungry Americans, was responsible for the find. Dr. John C. Merriam. president of the Carnegie institution, reported. The ehiclero, whose business it is to locate the ehico sapote, a tree from which the elastic ingredient of chewing gum is derived, came upon a section of the jungle which was laid out in regular avenues and sections, with trees following the lines of ancient walls and creepers growing over pyramids and stone shafts. Investigation revealed an ancient Mayan city, Calaktnul, apparently once the center of much of the Mayan civilization, with splendid plazas, broad streets and imposing buildings. : The civic and religious quarters of the city alone were a mile and a quarter in length by half a mile in width. Dr. Merriam teported. Dr. Merriam is a former dean of faculties at the University of California. and was once president of the American Paleontology society.
