M., September 11.— The first crop in America was har- vested about 8,000 years ago this Fall in the highlands of Central Mexico, when a primitive man discovered that | maize is easy to grow and good to eat. i This early beginning of agriculture, upon which all the higher civilizations of America are based, was explained by Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley of the Car negie Institution of Washington be- fore the Summer session of the School of American Research here. Maize, or Indian corn, is believed to have been developed at a still earlier time by the accidental crossing of teo- sinte, a heavy seeded grass found in that area, and of some other wild spe- cies with characteristics not unlike those of sorghum. Although corn ex- hibits distinct family traits of both parents, artificial hybridization of sim- ilar plants in an effort to produce what the prehistoric Indlan happened upon accidentally have so far failed, according to Dr. Morley. di 1 begin Bet. 18th & 19thN.W.

Thus civilization advanced hand in hand with the cultivation of corn.

In aviation it is rapidly supplanting water- cooling. The superior dependability, efficiency and power per pound of weight that it gives have already been sensationally demonstrated by Byrd and Cobham in their historic flights. And Fonck has chosen it for his New York-Paris attempt. In the New Franklin, air-cooling is even more important than aloft. Not only does it kill all cooling worry and work, but—far more vital—it is an essential in the road-ability possible only with air-cooled construction. day’s wisest automobile investment and easiest fine car purchase: your old car One Ride Will Show the Difference as whole or part of first payment—bal- ance in twelve easy monthly payments.
