(#).—Ancient Indian mounds are no bar to the truck farming activities of Will and Fred Powell of near here. When one of the Cahokia mounds, 50 feet high and estimated to contain 40,000 cubic yards of soil, presented an obstacle to their farming, the two brothers put a steam shovel to work leveling the man-made hill. The dirt was spread over 15 acres of swampy lands. .Numerous Indian relics were uncovered by the shovel. Quickest Knock Sculptor Hopes to Complete Work for Exhibition at Com- ing World’s Fair. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 11.—Lorado Taft, having paused from sculpturing long s, | enough to prove himself a playwright, has begun to model a companion plece for his fnmous “Fountain of Time.” It will be the “Fountain of Creation,” a work he hopes to present by the open- ing of the World's Fair in Chicago two years hence. The sculptor’s art had to stand aside while Taft fashioned with his pen “The Gates of Paradise,” a play designed to acquaint young folk with the great works of sculpture. The artist himself designed and painted the scenes for its presentation first on a high-school stage | and later at a downtown theater. Based on Classic Myth, Taft’s newest project, with the classic myth of Deucalion, the Greek Noah, as its motif, is rapidly taking shape. Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha, so the legend - relates, were the only mortals saved by Zeus after a nine-day flood. | Stepping from their boat on the top of Mount Parnassus, they consulted an oracle as to the best way for restoring the Buman race. They were told to cover their heads and throw the bones of their mother behind them. Pyrrha divined that these bones were the stones of Mother Earth. Taft is endeavori |t show in “The Fountain of Creatio ’ RF.-DAIRING Way To a Cold Millions Say of This Proved Way Take two tablets now, You Feel Like a New Person Almost Before You Know It If you want quick relief from & cold, go back to first principles and use ‘something you know does the business—don’t start “ " a lot of fancy ideas or remedies.

Its accomplishment been | a dream of his for years. When com- pleted, he hopes to see it stand at the east end of the midway plaisance that was the site of the World’s Fair in 1893 —“The Fountain of Time" fronts the west end—and, “Well, maybe I'll just leave it there as my contribution to the art of Chicago.” Meanwhile he has not forgotten his professional hobbies, three of which are now under way in his studio. These include an extensive study of lighting effects on statuary in museums; the creation, in miniature, of a museum ar- ranged in accord with his own and, he confessss, somewhat revolutionary ideas, and the making of what he terms “peep shows.” The latter depict, in miniature sculpturing, events in the lives of fa- WASHINGTON, are . % DNESDAY, SLAYER OF CHILD 1S SOUGHT WIDELY Tracks and Fingerprints Are Studied After Virginia Brooks’ Body Is Found.
