TRACES ARE FOUND OF ANGIENT CITY American Woman Scientist Makes Discovery in Oaxaca, Mexica. OAXACA, Mexico (#).—A brief in- vestigation by sn American woman , Emma Reh, has revealed that | another rich storehouse of archeologi- cal relics remains to be explored at the | ancient Indian city of Teposcoulula, 2 miles from this modern Southern Mexi- can capital. - The ancient city was built on a leveled-of hilltop commanding a great valley. It was hemmed in Hy massive walls, now crumbling to ruins and over- run with vegetation. The square in the center of the city, believed by scientists to have been the scene of Indlan cere- ‘monies before the coming of the Span- iards, now is used by the native inhabi- tants for the raising of crops. Each Spring while tilling the ground, the investigation disclosed, the plows turn up pottery in white, red, black 2nd orange, sometimes embellished with in- tricate floral designs. In one corner of the square, which measures about two city blocks square, is a row of roomlike structures. These are now roofless and filled with under- growth and rubbish. Indian guides seemed reluctant to enter the rooms, explaining that the structure which they described as “cellars,” contained buried treasures from the ‘‘church.” The structure known as the “church” is situated behind a small plot of ground in which it is said that the plows of the farmers turn up skeletons, indi- cating it is an ancient burial ground. Numerous legends and superstitions are related by the Indians who live nearby. One is that a bell in the “church” rings e2ch June 24 and that & mass is said without persons belng seen there- abouts. Another concerns & small stream which flows along the foot of the hill. Under‘no circumstances, the supersti- "} | tious say, shall a man on a horse carry a woman over the stream.

New Deviéde Gets Bobbin 2 Years In Girl’s Throat ables Doctors to Lance Closing Tissues. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, February 4.—An 8- year-old girl looks forward to normal diet and relief from pain for the first time in two years, for surgeons at Geor- gia Baptist Hospital have used a new sort of instrument called the bi-plane from her esophagus. A couple of years ago Gladys Hand of Heflin, Ala., accidentally swallowed the bobbin. Numerous doctors tried in vain to remove it. Seven months ago strictures caused the esophagus to close and the child has lived since then on food taken through a tube to her stomach. i ‘The other day her parents, Mr. and | that had just been installed at the Georgia Baptist Hospital—only one south of Philadelphia, says W. D. Baker, hospital superintendent. ‘They hurried their daughter to At-. lanta and she was the first to be treated by the new instrument. Previous operations had failed because ordinary fleuroscopes would not show horizontal and lateral positions of the bobbin simultaneously. The bi-plane fleuroscope showed both positions and | thereby the surgeons were able to cut away tissues grown around the bobbin and remove it through the abdomen. She is recovering rapidly and doc- | tors say she will be able to eat nor- | mally soon.

Editorial Plaint Voiced With By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, February 4.— A dictionary has come to Yale Uni- versity from Athens College in Greece in answer to a-prayer voiced more than a century ago by a Connecticut editor. Yale College students in 1823 col- lected $800 to aid the people of Greece in their fight for independence. Commenting on the gift a few days later, the editor of the Connecticut Mirror said: “We hope that when the Greeks ob- tain their freedom, and have & chance to reward their benefactors, they will send out, to show their gratitude, an explanation of certain hard words and dubious expressions, which are now and then to be found in Lucian’s dialogues and Demosthenes’ orations, with a glos- sary of expletives, heteroclites, etc., which if they should arrive in middle college, of a hot afternoon, just befor~ the bell rings for recitation, would to many, be peculiariy acceptable.” Today—110 years after this editorial plaint—Yale announced that students of Athens College have donated to the university library a copy of “Modern Greek-English Dictionary,” by A. . | Kyriakides. The dictionary bears the following inscription: “The students of Athens College pré- ‘Wewillhave We W hether or No’ The Groundhog and his shadow will make little difference in the weather...it will be cold one day and warm the next..... but if You Install this Ventilator* |GREEK DICTIONARY ANSWERS YALE PLEA MADE 110 YEARS AGO Gift in 1823 Finds Response || at Athens College. sent this dictionary to the students of Yale University in grateful recognition of the aid given to the cause of Greek independenec by the students of Yale in 1823.” Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale formally accepted the dictionary in gale‘s behalf during & recent visit to Teece.
