INDIAN RELICS IN ‘GEORGA DUG UP Some of These Sbed Light on Ancient Spaniards Atlanta, Ga,, April 13 (UP)—Dr. Waurren K. Moorehead, archaeologist o Andover Academy, Andover, Mass,, has returned north with some of the most amazing finds of Indian relics ever unearthed in the North Georgia hills. Stone coffins, beads of brilliant hue—carved sea shells—and stones native in far away lands—have been found by Moorehead and his as- sistants in thelr four-year search for relics of early American life. Not least among the finds was the recent one of a sword hilt, guard nd remnant of a blade—believed the w on of one of Hernando de Nota’s bund of Spanish explorers, or | vossibly of the Spanish leader him- self. Made Previons Explorations At various times since 1923, Dr. Moorehead has led parties archae- ologists who sought to wrest the ge- vrets of modes of living—customs— religious beliefs and culture of early \mericans from the mounds of in | North Georgia, | Recently he explored mounds near Carter's Quarters, Ga. There he found stone pots, other cooking utensils, polished sea shells that indicated a highly = civilizea race of Indians once inhabited the hills. In actual period of elapsed time the antiquity of the race is not zreat, Finding of remains of a cere- monial hut was one of the most im- portant contributions to the fund orl knowledge of early Indian life made by the Moorehead party. In the hill- ! side were found cedar posts, still in a condition of preservation which indicated a treatment with clay or some substance to insure longevity. | Besido the crumbled wooden walls were bea stone mauls, pots and arrow heads, while in the center of the one-time burial chamber was the skeleton of an Indian—believed to have been a chieftain. Beside the right arm was found the sword—one of the unique and unexpected ‘treasures” dug up. Found Spanish Diaries | In diaries ascribed to members of De Soto's party that explored Amer- ica in the sixteenth century men- | tion is made of a visit to the villago | of Chiahua—said to have been on the present site of Rome, Ga.—not far from where the sword was found. | De Soto in 1540 undoubtedly liis men across wha' is now Georgia —westward to the Mississip gives credence to the owne the sword—as Dr. siders the graves contemporary with | that period. The Indians were believed sun | worshgppers. Twelve skeletons, a stone daggar, thousands of shell beads and a human effigy were among the finds made by the Moore- head party SRR WIGHITA IS CITY OF PLANE INDUSTRY Six Airplane Factories in One Community - s, April 15 P—With 1427 ain . production here ux-<‘ «veding the output of any other city | in the country, Wichita has two addi- ‘ tional factories this year to help the Gty retain its position as “the De- troit of the aviation industry.” | The four factories which operated | lust year turned out 337 ships, and | the six companics here at the begin- | ning of 1428 faced the year with un- iilled orders for 800 planes on hand. +apacity production of the six plants | 32 machines a week. | he industry here dates back lo | when one of the first commer- cial manufacturers built and mar- | icted its first machine. Since then Wichita-built planes have been wing- | ing their way over thousands of 1iles of commercial and alr mail Art Goebel 'Woolaroc,” in which he won the Dole race frem the Gold- en Gate to Honolulu, was manufac- tured in Wichita. Ernest Smith, the first civilian flier to reach the Ha- walian islands from United States also ysed a Wichita-bullt plane. Ships made in Wichita have won the Ford reliability tour two years in succession and have carried off scores of awards in this and other countries. Wichita owes its leadership in the aviation industry to its central loca- tion and to the endeavors of its chamber of commerce to attract fac- tcries. The industry employs 500 men. Besides the six plane-building concerns here are an airplane mo- tor manufacturing company and an airplane parts manufacturing com- pany, Bottle Makes Sea Trip Faster Than Sail Ship Washington, Aprit 13 (P—8ix miles a day, or faster than old sail- ing veasels, is the record established by a bottle paper reported to the navy hydrographic office, The bottle traveled 7,300 miles, from the Gulf of Tehuantepec on the western coast of Mexico to New Guinca. It was thrown over- board by Second Officer J. M. Jo- hansen of the Norwegian steamer Hellen, July 12, 1924, and was pick- ed up December 13, 1927, on the North coast of New Guinea. Caught by the northeast trades, the bottle drifted into the north equatorial current setting westward, its drtft passing Clipperton Island, between the Hawaiian Islands and Palmyra Island, through the islands of the Marshzll Group, thence south- ward of the Caroline Islands across the equator to the Hermit Islands, off the north coast of New Guinea, Traffic Congestion Is Expensive in Boston Boston, April 13 (P —A traffic sur- vey has revealed that congestion in the business district. of Boaton costs people in the metropolitan area more than $26,000,000 a year. Observation of the incoming flow of traffic revealed that §17,000 per- sons, on the average, enter the downtown business section every day. It found that each person loses at least 10 minutes bhecause of | traffic congestion. Placing a value of one cent on each of the §170,000 |minutes thus lost daily, the experts, arrived at a money loss of $24,510,- 0600 in a year of 300 business days.

Poole of the National Museum, The caves, which are near the western edge of the great central plain of Haiti, near San Michel, are infested by bats. The floors are six or seven feet deep in guano and re- | fuse, Scattered through this guana the Smithsonian expedition found quantities of animal and bird bones, many of then representative of spe- | cies which no longer inhabit the is- land, though the period of their de- ! posit probably does extend back more than 1,000 years and many bones are of recent origin, i Though the bones have not yet | been worked over, Mr. Poole has ! been able to identify the skull and ' skeleton of a ground sloth, which is believed to be the most complete recorded from the island. Several rodents resembling in size the musk- | rat and beaver are represented among the bones and there is at least one insece e. There are a | great number of bat skulls and liz- ard jaws, In some eaves, the Smithsonian | sclentist found skeletal remains of | man, but whether they belonged to | the present natives of the island or ' to the Indian aboriginees who have'| | been extinct for a long period, has not yct been determined. Incident- ally, Mr. Poole reports that the caves have been used by superstitious na- tives as places of worship. In some es they carved heads on the ata- | lagmite and stalactite pillars in the caves to represent saints or gods. Offerings of eggs. fruit, and even coins, were made to these objects of worship. i How the bones got into the caves is not clear in all cases. Most of the amall bird and mammal bones undoubtedly represent prey eaten by . owls. Bones of the larger creatures probably represent individuals who | entered these caverns by chance. | | As is well known, owls in feeding swallow their prey of birds and , mammals entire or in large frag- menta. The flesh is digested and | the bones, fur and feathers formed into pellets which are later regurgi- tated, leaving the stomach empty to receive another meal. The great deposits of small bones in the 8en | Michel caves represent the remains of owl pellets accummulated about nests and under perches. 1 The owls responsible for the de- i nosit are now themselves extinct. In form they resembled the living barn owl but were nearly threc times as large. They were first de- i seribed by Dr. Alexander Wetmore, | Assistant secretary of the Smithson- |fan Institution, who christened the | species by the peculiarly appropriat: YAY SKIN-NAY !

The Smithsonian expedition re- ceived hearty co-operation from the U. 8. marines which officer the local police of this isolated section of the island, from the United West Indies Corporation on whose tobacco plan- ways, expedition was a guest, and from the officials of the insular department of agriculture, who as- sisted in trausportation and other READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR YOUR WANTS Liberal candidate for north division of Norfolk at the next election, Mrs. Hoffman has lived in England for many years and recently took out naturalization papers.
