ASIATIG TRAES IN NEW MEXICO Binoigit Impressel by 00 serving Taos Indian Lile ‘Washington, Jan. ¢ M—The great Astec civilization has perished, but a contemporary culture resemblyg it in many ways and at the same time showing clear traces of ex- tremely remote Asiatic ancestry has been preserved throughout the modern development of America by the proud, handsome, conservative tribe of Indians that has lived for countless generations in the Taos pueblos in New Mexico. J. P. Harrington of the bureau of American ethnology, who studies' the Taos Indians this summer in the course of an effort to record the languages, culturies and histories of the southwestern tribes before the aged members carry with them to the grave their vanishing lore of the past, found that they have retained their primitive culture in much pur- er form than any of the other Pueblo groups. “Most of the Pueblos,” he obscrv-' re getting to follow the white | way, and such Indians are looked down upon by the Taos. They are the most northern of all the Pueblo Indians and are the largest, tallest and finest looking. They keep them- selves and their houses and town very clean and are a handsome group of people.” The town, which attracts artists| and tourists as well as scientists from all parts of the world, is 60 miles north of Santa Fe in the heart | of the Rockies and has a popula- tion of about 900 Indians, observe the customs of their ances- tors most rigidly, wearing blankets, leggings and long hair. They have two communal dwell- ings of adobe, separated by a beau- tiful, clear creek spanned by prim- itive bridges of foot logs hewn with old Indian axes. The houses are relatively new, having been constructed after a fire destroyed a similar group early in the seventeenth century. The northern pueblo retains its original five stories, but that on the southern side of the creck has been reduced to three by falling in of the upper part. The Indians like to loaf on their roofs, always wearing | their white blankets. A mud wall surrounds the village, and outside are the fields and the places where the Indians obtain their clay, paints and various roots and herbs. To the northeast rises a magic mountain called by an In- dian name which means |I|r high one,”” and far to the w : other known as the “Coyote because of its two little peaks. The Indians, Mr. found, knew all the surrounding places by curious old names in their | own language, “some of which are certainly many centuries old.” “The civilization of these Indi- ans,” he says, “resembles in not a few points that of the Mexico, and the Asiatic aspect their life impresses one vividly. "It is perfectly clear that eastern Asiatic peoples spilled over into America, crossing the Bering strait without even knowing leaving Asia. They followed the coast southward, bringing their old Asiatic languages and customs with them, but taking on variations in their way of life as they came into the environments dominated by the mountains, the buffalo or the coast evertheless the Indians, being Asiatics, may be expected to have a rich and ancient civilization, and this {8 precisely what is being found among them.” MEET T0 GONSIDER of PEACE PROMOTION International Conference Opens in Germany Frankfort-on-Maij 4 (P—An international organized by the Woman's Interna- tional League for Peace and Free- | dom opened hers today after being welcomed to the city of Burgomaster Graef, Sclentists of international repute were on the program, their subject being modern methods of warfare and the protection of civil popula- tion. conference is to protest against the chemical warfare of the future. Dr. Nalma Sahlbom of Stockholm opened the conference with an ad- dress on the urgency of the meeting in view of the fact that thus far very few nations had ratified League of Nations poison gas con- vention. She declared the world was never so disturbed as today and that | the next war by limitless attack against all, regardless of the civilian populations, age or sex, would ine- vitably end in the annihilation of all civilization. Prof. L. Lewin of Germany spoke next on the question of poisoning by asphyxiating gases. Numerous telegrams from various parts of the world were read ac- claiming the purposes of the confer- ence. Other speakers on the program are Prof. Paul Langevin of France, and Dr. Gertrude Woker of Switz- erland. The four main questions which will be discussed are: 1. The character of modern war- fare, 2. How to protect civilian popu- lations. 3. Science and technical ment and disarmament. 4. Conclusions and how they may ve turned into practice. Among prominent members of the committee of honor are Prof. Albert Einstein, Prof. Otto Meyerhoff, No- bel prize winner for medicine, Ad- mirals Drury Lane and Mark Kerr #nd Mrs. Helena Swanwick for Eng- iand; Romain Rolland, Prof. Charles Gide, Madame de 8t. Prix ame Severine for France, Selma Lagerlof and Prof. Osten Unden for Sweden, and Prof. David Starr Jor- fan for the United States. equip- who still ! white | Harrington | Aztecs of | they were | .

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS NEW KNOVLEDGE OF ATON IS REVEALED Results Apparently Seea From X-Ray Experiments Ithaca, N. ¥, Jan, ¢ (M—An. nouncement is made at Cornell uni- versity of results obtained from study of X-rays that reveal the pos- sibllity of new knowledge of the structure of atoms. Although atoms, the smallest units of the chemical elements such as oxygen, guld and silver, e been seen, belief in their is supported by a vast| amount of evidence from physics, | chemistry and astronomy. The Cor-| nell research {s one of many excur- sions into this field, and is produc-| ing additional data in support of | atomic theories. Dr. F. K. Richtmyer, professor of physics, one of the authorities on X-rays, working under an August Heckscher grant, is studying the “satellite’ ‘lines in the X-ray spec- | trum. This work may be visualized by comparing it with a photograph of | the spectrum of visible light as made by a spectroscope, an instru- ment which acts upon a beam of light in much the same way as rain | drops act ujon the sun's rays in producing a rainbow. Such prints, | usually called spectrograms, fre- quently contain sharp, ansverse | lines which reveal the kind of sub- stance from which the light eman- ated. Although X-rays -are invisible, X-ray spectrograms can be made by suitable apparatus and such spectrograms show lines analogous | to those found in the visible spec- trum, These X-ray spetrum lines have been known for'many years. According to current atomic theory they originate as the result of the falling or “jumping” of electrons from the outside of atoms toward the inside. The “satellites” which the Cor- nell physicist is investigating are very faint lines lying close to the more intense -ray lines. As @& result of careful study Professor Richtmyer has found many new| satellite lines and in a recent pa-| per beforc the National Academy | of Sciences, has suggested “the| possibility—to be tested by flxrflh(*ri experiments — that the satellites | may be due to two-electron Jumps‘ within the atom.” It correct, this means that, under | certain conditions, two electrons, instead of one, may simultaneously “jump” toward the center of the atom and senc out an X-ray. A further study of this important field seems likely to add wvaluable data with regard to the structure and| behavior of atoms. ‘ BALKAN PEACE PARLEYS Belgrade, Jugoslavia, Jan. 4. —Negotiations for the settlement of 21l outstanding questions between Jugoslavia and Roumania have been begun by the foreign office.
