PHOENIN riz., January skeieton of a second man, belleved to have been a mem- ber of the race of “Canal Builders” which inhabited Arizona 2,000 years g0, was unearthed here late today ¥ A party excavators working under the directic f the American Museur D al History. The excavating work is being car- ried on the anclent pueblo of La Cuidad, on the outskirts of this city, and is directed by Erick Schmidt. The first skeleton, unearthed ye terday, was burfed in an “east-west" direction, while the one discovered today was lald to rest In @ “north- south” direction. This, according to the scientists, indfcates that the Gila culture of which the Casa Grande ruins are a part, may have existed in this sec- on. Sufficient discoveries, however, 1o warrant this as a definite state- ment of fact have not yet been made, Mr. Schmidt said The work thus far has brought to Hght carved shells, pottery, many arrowheads and grinding stones, as well as two skeletons. ns 2.—The pre-historic Bomb Explodes N:ear Palace.

WINE FASHION CHANGES. White Beverages Now Used is Seo- ciety. LONDON, January 2 (#).—Fashions in wine are as fickle as changes in women's dress. White wine just now in the fashionable London hotels has superseded red wine as the popular drink. Even with the gentry, white wine is drunk here. In Parls this would be looked upon as the height of bad dinner manners. One reason for the change here is due to the fact that since the war the Germans have been buying all the best French red wine, regardless of price, and leaving COMEDY STAR WEDS ARISTOCRATIC COUNT De La Rochefoucauld Marries Actress in Paris After Much Opposition.

The new Countess de auld, who belonged to the Orthodox Church of Rumanla, nccepted conver- sion to the Roman Catholic faith be- fore the ceremony because Cardinal DuBois, Archbishop of Parls, refused to grant the young nobleman a dispen- sation to marry her while she retain- ed her former faith. With this difficulty smoothed over there appeared to be no shadow on the gavety of the party of a hundred friends who attended the ceremony at the city hall. For the bride the wit- nesses were Victor Antonescu, former Rumanian Minister to Parls, and Sen- ator Lemery, u former undersecre. tary of state.

Statement i made that at favorable localities in the Arlington and Wash ington districts successful wells are usually otbained at depths of 100 to 150 feet. Many Wells Required. Continuing: the report says: “The prospects of obtaining, an adequate public water supply from wells do not appear altogether favorable. Enough water to supply the present popula tlon could probably be obtained from wells, but in order to get this quantity of water it would be necessary to drill a large number of wells distributed throughout the area “A system of waterworks utilizing surface water from Pimmit Run, Po- tomac River, or some other source would, if properly planned. doubtless be more adequate than any system using ground Water, because the sup- ply would be sufficient to care for the growing needs of the country for a long time to come. The pumping ma- chinery would be centralized in a few places” instead of being scattered among numerous wells. On this ac count it would be possible to use ef- ficlent pumping machinery and to have close supervision by a competent [ There would not be the con stant annoyance and expense of ke:p. ing in repalr nume small units, such as would be inevituble with a supply obtained from wells. Un the water wers obtalned from the supply of the City of Washington, it would have be either pumped against a considerable head from point r the mouth of Pimmit Run or piped a considerable urce in the Blue Ridge. In either case a purification plant would be required “The chief advantage of a_ supply from wells is the flexibility of the sys- tem. It would probably be wise to utilize surface water unless sufficlent money were available for the construc tion of a large plant adequate to sup ply the entire area for some time to come. A system using ground-water i1d start with a few wells and be ex- sanded as the need arose and avallable permitted. Consequently it would be possible for individual com- munities to equip themselves with plants adequate for their own needs if a plant large enough to supply the study these of the districts el from a s | whole area of the Arlington and Wash ington districts could not be arranged for in the immediate future. Would Get Estimates “It is recommended that before the project of utilizing ground water is definitely rejected, estimates be made of the cost of installation and opera- tion of small svstems of waterworks supplied by wells for the several com- munities and that these estimates be mpared with the estimates for a large unit system supplied by surface water. 1f the estimated costs of in- stallation and operation of the ground- water units are not distinctly lower than those of a surface.water system, it will be the wiser policy to install the surface-water system. However, it possible that a careful survey of the whole problem will show that it will be more economical and feasible, until the population has considerably in- creased, to install a few small ground- water systems rather than to carry out the large surface-water project at present and to begin immediately to carry the heavy fixed and operating charges it would entail. If individual communities install ground-water sys- tems, the distributing mains should be so designed that as much of them as possible can be utilized if a surface- water system is later installed. “It should be understood that the whole matter of obtaining water sup- plies from wells in this area is some- what uncertain and that the ground- water conditions vary from place to place. Hence the first step in any plan to install a system of waterworks depending on wells must be the drill- ing of test wells to determine whether an adequate supply can actually be obtained. The wells so far drilled are not sufficlent to afford this informa- tion.” e CIVIL SERVICE INVOKED.

BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Radio to The Star and Qhicago Dally News. BERLIN, Germany, January 2— The first great “American year” in Europe has just ended. That com plex of factors—personal democrac: technique and the standardization of production, effected as much by American prestige as by the invest- ment of dollars—has bitten more deeply into the German soul than into the soul of any other Iuropean people. Today the United States leads the world. For power and prestige it is the only country which Germans acknowledge as their master in vari- ous lines and seek to follow. * The writer has usked the opinions | of several German specialists as to| the progress of the Americanization of their particulur fleld. Thelr an- swers are {lluminating. “America has given much stimulus to the Old World," replled Rudolf Eucken, professor of philosophy in the University of Gena. whom writer questioned 1 ing s spiritual contribution to Kury there has heen sepening.” Interested in America. “The masses are deeply interested in the life of the average American according to Konrad Maril, director of the Fischer Publishing House. Maril notes the success of Bahbitt and Tar- zan und admits a growing Interest in all wsensational stories in which thrills take the place of complexity. The Germans are Americanized in so far as they have a growing cult for the out of doors and the primitive, but much of what is active In Amer- icn has already been lived out in Europe and the cleft between. Amer ican and German literutures is still unbridged. Dr. Albert Moll Psychological Soclety, refuses mit American primaey us seen such strange psychological movenients as spiritism and criminal psychology “A few great mediums e from America,” he writes, “but the great €8 ure Luropeans. Yet it must be dmitted that the impetus to the oc cultist mmovement comes from Amer. ici. However, the maxim that every thing extraordinary, particularly of a swindling character, has origin is advanced only by the igng rant. During my travels 1 have con vinced myself of the serious contribu tions of Americans to culture, Even e great progress in paycho-analysis in America should not cause one to forget that it had fts origin in, Europe.™ Standardizing of Industry Generally speaking, Germans admit | the necessity for certain Americaniza tion and standardization in industry Prof. H. Schumacher of the Uni versity of Berlin, deplores the fact that Germans who have visited Amer fca since the World War are so full of admiration n standardizing their industry,” he says, “Americans have made theirs the world's leading country. This standardization may be considered the most important single factor that has appeared in the world of industry since the war. It s comprehensible that America {8 g0 conaidered the model that Germany must seek to imitate it." Dr. Karl Koettgen, president of the board of the Siemens concern, though admitting the influence of the example of Henry Ford and other great American industrialists, con siders that it is true only in part that American industrial methods are superior to the German. Natural pros- perity, better agricultural methods and possibllities are, in his opinion, responsible for America’s command- ing position. “In European countries,” he asserts, “the people will not accept the stand- ardization of certaln types of mer- chandise and produce and even the United States has no place for a sec- ond Ford. Europe is divided by language and customs walls and must adapt its methods to its specific needs.” president of the to ad Must Follow Example. Edgar Atzler, director of the insti- tute for labor psychology in the Berlin Kalser Wilhelm Soclety, writes: “Taylorism has had a great influ- ence on Germany. Taylorism is a method for obtaining the greatest re- sults, but it is careless of the work- man's health. There are factorles in America where only workmen under 30 years of age can do the work re. quired. Germany must follow the American example, but must use great care to obtain the really best results. Three ways must be followed. First, speclal men must be sought for spe. clal tasks; second, rationalization of processes; third, by careful examina- tion through investigation and control of the moment of fatigue. The length of the working perfod must be consid- ered according to these three factors, No general rule of eight hours' em: ployment should be the maximum. Moreover, the future of the entire wave of industrialization which passes for American is very uncertain in so far as industrial works will soon be carried on with a minimum of human participation.’ Otto Julius Merkel, director of the Aero-Lloyd Alr Traffic Co.. admits the essential | {the Yankee spell of enterpri in | n American | | to | American supremacy of the United Happy New Year!

Germany has shown initiative has developed the use of huge spaces for advertising until today full-page advertisemer in news papers are common hers « ainly German is following American methods and soon will not be far be- hind." Hoesel wishes the Germans would follow the Americans in the use of | cheerful and inviting texts in written | advertisements, | The last field in which Germans are | seeking to follow Americans is that of sport. “Unfortunately, we ure not Americanized in sports,” says Theador Lewald, president of the national | sport committee. “Only I per cent | of our people practice some form of sport, but increase of at ties in our schools is reaily American. | German children born during the war are weak and need strengthening, and sport is a great prophylactic for keep- ing them from drink and other vices Therefore our sport does not seek primarily to estabiish new records, but to widen out to ever greater num- bers. Perhaps Germany already plays more hand ball and soccer foot ball than does the United States, and bo ing, under American influence, is rap- idly increasing here. American ath- letes have an immense influence in | Germany, although we cannot under- take great study expeditions to for- elgn countries. = International influ- ences will work powerfully on Ger- many in the coming Olympic games in Amsterdam, for which we are now actively training.” It seems certain along nearly all| lines the process of Americanization will continue during the coming vear. It remains to be seen whether Europe, under the pressure of poverty, will uphold the old-fashioned nationalistic methods in industry in little countries | not adaptable to modern methods or | will be forced to come to some sort | of international or pan-European co- | operation, the signs of which are | evervwhere present. If the latter pos- | sibility were realized it would permit of largescale production and would raise the living standards in Europe.
