A reproduction of a Hopl village will be constructed of light material, but without a detail lacking, g even to the meat hanging from walls. With such a background, the white men perform a dance they hope to preserve from the altering hand of time, says a writer In Popular Mechanics magazine.

It may deal with the Indian account of the creation something oddly like our own biblical one. It will seek to probe the history, buried In legends, fireside tales, myths, religious rites and tribal traditions that hold the key to the earliest inhabitants of the southern Rocky mountains. : : - . y .

Wolfe, curator of the Regional museum at Rio Gallegos, Buys he has seen ruins 3,000 or 4,000 years old.

Between 50 and 60 cases of archeological treasure, described by Thomas Hastings, the architect, as the most magnificent material that ever has come out of Asia Minor, have been received by the Metropolitan Museum of Art These materials come from Sardis, ancient capital of Croesus, and other Lydian kings. It was here that 30 gold coins of Croesus, tlie earliest gold coinage of the world, were found by American excavators last spring. Football, baseball, bowling, dice and Jacks had their origin In Lydia, according to classical accounts. The oldest objects found may be relics of the Hittltes, according to Dr. Butler, who are known to have been In this region as early as 3,006 years before Christ.
