Tula the magnificent, center of life and arts are learning, Tula with its great temples and palaces, ruled a white god whose wisdom was unbounded— Great was the civilization that flourished in Tula. Then some- thing happened—something in a lost chapter of American history, hundreds of years before the ar- rival of the Spaniards. A curtain was drawn on Tula, a_ curtain which scientists believe finally they are raising. They believe that they have found Tula again and that the treasures they are digging out of its buried ruins will cast new and important light on America prion to the conquest. The work is being done by ar- chaeologists of the Mexican Na- tional Institute of Anthropology and History. Huge stone warriors 15 feet high, temples, stadiums and pyramids have come to light. In certain instances there is similarity of ideas to the Egyptian. There is a marked likeness to the Mayan.

A. G. Bleisener, commanding of- ficer of the Marine at the Naval Operating Base here, this morning as the nation celebrated the 167th anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps. A brief relief from routine was afforded the Marfnes this picture message mandant of the Marine Corps, Lieut-Gen. Thomas J. Holcomb. At noon the detachment was served a special dinner and in the early afternoon a brief field ceremony was staged. Just 167 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the raising of two battlions of Marines, com- manded by one Colonel and two lieutenant-colonels. The Congres- sional resolution specified- that the personnel selected for the battalions be “good seamen or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve to advant- age at sea.” Since that time the Corps has the materigl to be used in con- structing the school which means there will not be a delay in the} building. ‘Priority in this case is} ment until further notice.
