Moorehead, profes- sor of archaeology, at Philips Andover Academy, recently completed excava- tions in one of the larger of the mounds, says a writer in the Christian Science Monitor. ' His explorations were financed by eastern museums, schools and private individuals. Digging had a secondary purpose the stimulation of interest in the mounds in an attempt to obtain legis- lation for their inclusion in a state park. Otherwise they will fall before the invasion of the East St. Lous in- dustrial district, as did smilar mounds in St. Lous. Only a few months ago, an industrial corporation obtained an option’ on the site of Monks’ mound, the largest in the Broup, for a manu- ing plant; but the deal fell through.

For the first time in the history of the organization the Massachusetts Horticultural society has. awarded the George Robert White medal to a woman.

Sargent and Thomas Ro- land of Nahant, “in recognition of her service to horticulture in increas- ing the love of plants and gardens among the women of the United States; by her success as an organ- izer and manager of their garden clubs; by her public addresses and books about gardens, and by the ex- ample of her enthi and indus- as jusiasta The medal ts of solid gold, made in the Philadelphia Mint, from a design of John Hannigan, the noted medal- let.

Mr. Moorehead’s interpretation of these plateaux is that they were cere- monial or “dance” floors used in re Mgous rites. Corroboration of this theory, he pointed out, was the ex- istence in one of the floors of a de- pression or basin of half-baked clay, such as frequently have been found elsewhere in the valley and establish- ed as sacrificial altars.

This bit had & perceptible glaze and = distinct de- sign—a circle within which sifght tracings cross at right angles. “This indicates,” said Mr. Moore head, “that Cahokia probably was the seat of culture for the mound builders who erected their monuments through- out the Mississipp!

The only prehistdric people of whom we know who possessed this art were the cliff dwellers in the southwest. “Cahokia likewise was the seat of commerce for the mound builders.

According to Miss Edna Thomas of New Orleans, who has devoted much time to the tn- terpretation of colered folk sings, there is a world of difference. The Creole songs, Miss Thomas points out, are of a deli-=*e childish lightness, not to be compared with the sadness and monotone of the African spirit uelles or the wild exhortations of re. lgious fanaticism. The Creole songs are mostly built upon dance rythms, and it is in, the dance of the slaves that the Caucasian can obtain a true insight into the motivity of their songs. Miss Thomas has given a splendid description of the typical creolian days “They had their own instruments— @ drum made out of a barrel with an oxhide on it and a fiddle made from the jaw bone of a mule. They had a first and second musician. When the time for the dance came the first muscian mounted the barrel and be- an to beat on its head as loud as he could. The second musician took the drum fticks and beat on the wood of the berrel. While a third man with &nother stick rattled on the teeth of the jaw bone. This third man might be called the first violinist. Five or six other men stood near and sang a wild sort of harmony.” The negroes had no knowledge of written music and knew not the science of harmony, yet hundreds of voices singing at one time touched no discordant note, the whole blending in perfect harmony without guide or reason except through the harmonic impulse of the singers. The preservation of the beauty of the songs and the queer child-like ex- Pression of the verse is a worthy addition to the music world. Mrs, Judith Smith Oldest Club Woman in America Mra.

It covers slightly more than 16 acres and its altitude being from 90 to 107 feet. in yolume it is greater than the largest Pyramid in Egypt and it ts sald to be the ‘greatest structure of its kind in the world. It derives its name from tradition that a smail cabin which once stood at its apex was used as a Place of worship by Trappist monks up to 1808.

To be thor- ough and sure, the academy employed another geologist and the entry on his report is that he, too, ‘authoritatively’ stated that the mound was not the work of man, but of nature, “So the Santa Fe Railroad was per= mitted to buy the mound for the dirt that was in it, paying $400.
