Research Bureau Planned. “As naturally would be expécted, with the wide diversity of production and almost Nation-wide ical location of ‘the units, the cotton tex- tile industry is almost in & class by it self, but there are certain underlying rinciples common to all such trade lies that have the stage of experimentation and whose, activities are strictly within the law, which it is belleyed can be adapted to the needs of the textile iidustry to bring about a sane.and decent and to-operative competition instead of the cut-throat situation that now exists.” Mr. Cramer said it was generall conceded that there would be a re- search bureau, a publicity depart. ment and a statistica| bureau. He said the statistical bureau would furnish prompt, complete and accurate in. formation to everybody concerned, es pecially in the way of stock produc- tion and sales. Will Investigate Markets. The research departmeént would deal with technical problems beyond the scope of the individual manufacturer. The principal function of this body would be the investigation of markets, both at home and abroad, the dis- covery and extension of new uses for cotton mills products, the standardi- zation of the products and the con- sideration of trade practice and abuses.

If the recommendation for the elimination of the rim drives is car- ried out, the treatment of this area in many places will be entirely changed. Ttyo main reasons are given by Maj.

By the Associated Press. 7 SPOKANE, Wash., July 17.~Dis covery of an Indlan arrowhead and fragments of bone at the spot where Prof. Olaf Opsjon recently declared 12 Norsemen were burled in the year 1010 A.D., was announced here to- day by the Spokane Chronicle. Following Mr. Opsjon’s announcé- ment last week that writings on & rock north of Spokane were Norse ruins that described a battle between Norse Vikings and Indians in 1010, and marked the burial mound of 12 Norsemen killed in the battle, excava- tion of the mound Was started under the direction of the Chronicle. +* Prof. Opsjon, who is the author of numerous articles on Norse history, declared today the place marks the burial mound of at least one Viking who died with an Indian arrow in his body more than nine centuries ago. The arrow was surrounded by frag. ments of bone. Bone fragments were found in sev- eral other spots when the excavation was widened and lengthened. and scaffered bone splinters were taken from the side walls at a depth of 23 feet, the same level on which the arrowhead was found. Mr. Opsjon sald the arrowhead w found in solid earth that appeared to have been undisturbed «for ages.

Also, the Commissioners have adopt- ed a policy. that appropriations car- ried in the annual appropriations acts shall not be made immediately avail- able for expenditure except in un- usual cases where the public inter- est may require that this be done.
