Bishop excavated a late stone age Bite in the south of Shansi Province. The material obtained threw much Jight on the level of culture reached | by the Chinese at a period rcughtly | 3.000 years B. C. i m of Purpose Is Disclosed. The purpose of Mr. Bishop's sojourn ‘t'f four y: ‘was not, however, pri- ‘marily excavation. It was rather to pick out sites and collect data which Would enable excavation to be under- taken more efficiently when the time is ripe for it. -Although China is the jonly one of the great archeological fields promising rich rewards which still remains to be explored, the time | Tor that exploration has not yet come. In the first place, the great mass of the people have vet to be weaned from their superstitious fears that inter- ference with the graves of their an- cestors will bring misfortune on them. Such fears are a concomitant of the ancestor worship, which is common to China. The ignorant expect the out- raged spiritg of the disturbed dead to withhold rain or inflict disease or otherwise punish the sacreligious. Con- sequently the excavator of tombs has frequently to take his life in his hands. Mr. Bishop reports that the young | Chinese Nationalists,' many of whom have been educated abroad, have an | enlightened spirit toward archeological research, and he believes that as the political ' situation calms down and these men have time for other things than politics they will by their activ- ities spread this spirit through the country, so that widepread excavation ‘will become possible. The number of Chinese archeologists at present is very limited, says Mr. Bishop, but the race, with its capacity for delicate work and its power of observation, is apt for the science, and with the new ®ppreciation of the importance of archeology should develop plenty of lcompetent werkmen. It is the purpose it the Freer Gallery and the Smith- Eonian to co-operate in the deveiop- ment of Chinese archeologists. Curio Dealers Loot Graves. Another difficulty in the way of proper scientific excavation in China at present, according to Mr. Bishop, is the opposition of the local curfo deal- ers. They have nts whose business it is to Joot graves and tombs, the more valuable of whose contents can be smuggled to the European and American markets and command high [prices. Naturally, these people do not care to have the archeological fleld come under the auspices of science, whose interest in the relics does not @pring from their monetary value. ublic opinion, especially in China The Resta especially built for enlarged joints and bunions $11 Tan and Biack I Honored by Veterans Inroads Upon Na- | ¥ GEN.

He left two Chinese archeologists to rep- resent the Freer Gallery untik-he can resume work effectively. Archeological investigations in China, Mr. Bishop points out, have an interest not only for the light they throw on the history of that country, but for the information which they may_furnish on the early history of {the Mediterranean basin. For ancient China appears not to have been so completely isolated from the Western World as is commonly thought. Cer- tain basic cultureal elements, like the chart, the potter's wheel, the chariot, the plow, wheat, domestic animals, bronze and others are common to the .| temperate zone stretching from China, through India and Persia to Meso- potamia and the Mediterranean. On the other hand, none of these objects are found to the north—that is, in what is now Siberia; nor to the south, in Africa. Since there are so many of R and youthful.

The ruins of ancient cities in what are now ‘the bar- ren sands of inner Asia, reported by Sven Hedin and other explorers, tend to support this theory of early contact across Asia to the Mediterranean. Anclent Pottery Uncovered. In the Provinces of Shansi and Shens! Mr. Bishop reports the finding of pottery similar to that found in Turkestan, Russia, Mesopotamla and the Balkans, all of it dating back as tar as 3000 B. C. Whatever contact there may have been so far back was, of course, extremely slow. The use of iron in China, accordingly, came much later than the use by Western peoples.

Some 200 miles west of Peking_ he surveyed tombs of the North Wel dynasty, which was founded by Tar- tars from Mongolia, and endured from the fourth to the sixth century A. D. The enormous amount of labor which went into the construction of these tombs is indicated by the size of one. It is 80 feet high and has a circumfer- ence of nearly half a mile, being made entirely of earth. In front of this was an altar, and impressive temples un- doubtedly marked the site. These temples, as {s common in China, were of wood, and so have dis- appeared. China had no stone archi- tecture.

On top of the great earth tomb is a cairn of stones, from which, accord- ng to native tradition, a shaft leads down to the burial chamber. The funerary chamber is believed to be in the center, and there is a local tradi- tion that robbers once tried to enter the chamber. A dragon, the peasants say, drove away the desecrators of the graves. In view of the hostility of the natives to those who would tamper with the tomb, no one knows what it contains. —_— ‘The costliest toy known is a bro- ken-nosed wooden hobby-horse, with an intrinsic value of less than 60 cents, but which brought several hundreds dollars at auction because it otnce belonged to the boy Bona- par 'S RE" Flat Crepes STO: INJUNCTION OPPOSED. ——— D.

Dismissal of the injunction bill of the Independent Taxi Owners' Asso- clation, in which it seeks to restrain alleged threatened arrests of members on charges of parking cabs at places other than cab stands, is sought in a motion filed In the District Supreme Court today by the District of Colum- bla Commissioners. It is the conten- tion of the latter that the association should wait until the members are arrested and then seek relief in the Police Court. They also contend that a court of equity cannot prevent the enforce- ment of a police regulation which designates public cab stands.
