Ever since 1846 excavations have been made in Ohio mounds, and gradually the findings have —been worked into a tentative history which from time to time is corrected and checked. Inferior in Culture. As the ceremonial pipes and orna- ments found in the Seip Mound were being arranged it became evident that the people who had fashioned them were of a_culture not as high as those of the Hopewell groups. leveral of the finds have been unique and unpre- cedented,” Mr. Shetrone said, “but the finenesses of their art is not quite up to the Hopewells. § “The pilpe bowls and bird carvings an-tortoise,_shell ornaments indicate a migration of people’ from - the ‘ South; for their tvpes colncide with the re- aius of the race found south of Ten- at_the conclusion | gives | nessee and not those of the Hopewell mounds, which show the highest cul- ture,” sald Mr. Shetrone. As an example of the discoveries of the last few days, Mr. Shetrone cited the. finding vesterday of a faint im- print upon a copper plate, which is being closely scrutinized. The plate was one~of those found beneath the skulls of the four princes in the “burial of the pearls.”” Tie imprint represents loops, scrolls, circles and curves, belleved by the archeologists to be the impression of a regal shawl worn by one of the princes as a part of his burlal robe.

LOUIS, September 23,—Organl- zation plans were completed vester- day for the establishment in St. Louis of one of the largest radio broadcasty ing stations in the United States.

St. Louls Globe-Democrat, involves | the erection of a $110,000 super-sta- tion of 5000 watts, expected to be ready for operation shortly before Christmas. - It is proposed that the station, oper- jated at a cost of aproximately $135 000 a vear, will typify the “voice of St. Louls,” as “capital of the forty- ninth State” signifying the St. Louls trade territory in five surrounding States. The board of trustees is headed by E. Lansing Ray, president of the Globe-Democrat, as chairman. The site of the station will be about 16 miles from downtown Bt.

The widest of the ceremonial pipes is that of the spread eagle, which measured ten inches between wing tipe. ‘“As the ancient Americans smoked these pipes, the gowls were rested on the ground,”'said Mr. Shetrone, in ex- plaining their utility in spite of their weight, “They were: used. in cere- monials.

Senator Walsh attended the sessions of the assem- bly of the League of Nations during | his visit to urope just concladed, | ind was greatly impressed, he sa with the proceedings and particularly | with the feeling of the people abroad | toward les “The league,™ ms to hav as the proverbial cat, judging from the fre quency with which it has been pro nounced dead by some of its critles in this country ar from being dead the league is functioning now more actively than ever.” Holds Refusal Impossible. Senator Walsh was asked If in his { opinion the United States would ac cept an invitation to join the league a conference on disarmament, ich the league is now planning. “I cannot conceive of the United States refusing such an invitation from any responsible group of na- tions,” he replied. “If objection was raised by Americans_to such a confer- ence it would be regarded as a sinis- ter stand by the rest of the world. Senator Walsh’s attention was called to the fact that President Cool idge was inclined to leave to Congress the determination as to whether this Government should participate in an arms conference called by the league. The President has full authority to accept such an invitation, if he de- sires.” commented Senator Walsh, without recourse to Congress. Such a conference 10oks to the drafting of a treaty or agreement, and the execu tive branch of the Government has entire authority over the negotiation of all treaties, which later are sub. mitted to the Senate for its approval. The President might, however, with { propriety suggest that Congress, by resolution, express iis dgsire that the United States should joif in a confer ence on limitation of armament.

He said that the court is highly regarded by the governments of Europe, and that it was functioning with great satisfac- tion. Senator Walsh said he looked | for the ratification by the Senate at its coming session of the protacol pro- | viding for American adhesion to the | | World Court. | AR Lienti(!ol’.
