' 'Villalobos and his Strange Qargo 3N 1521, two years after Cortez and his conquista-dores conquista-dores marched on Montezuma's capital, a Spanish ship sailed from Santo Domingo for the shores of . Mexico with a strange, but important, cargo. The boat was not loaded with soldiers in mail, with explorers or priests but with Andalusian cattle. The shipper was Gregorio de Villalobos. Little is known about Villalobos or his ship, but ; this cargo started the cattle business in this country, for the cattle increased and spread over into what is now territory of the United States. In like manner the beginnings of today's telephone service were modest. In June, 1875, there were but two telephones which talked imperfectly between two . rooms in the same house. Today there are over 21,000,000 telephones in this country. From your telephone you may talk easily, naturally, to anyone in almost any village or hamlet in this country, and in normal times to telephone users in sixty foreign countries. The telephone not only makes pleasant and easy your voice visits with friends or relatives in other cities, but it facilitates the functioning function-ing of business as well.

Culture of Mound Builders Revealed in Recent Excavations. t WASHINGTON. -A full flowering civilization, not essentially inferior to that of the Atecs in Mexico or the Maya in Yucatan, vanished without with-out a trace in North America, probably prob-ably a few generation? before the first landing of Columbus. This is the conclusion drawn by Frank M. Setzler, head curator of anthropology anthropol-ogy of the Smithsonian institution, from an effort to reconstruct out of such scattered dues as are available avail-able the history of the Hopewcllians. the mound builders of the Ohio and upper Mississir-pi valleys. From the results of more than a century of research Setzler explains in a study just published by the institution in-stitution a tentative picture can now be drawn of the ways of life of this mysterious people. Construction of the large mounds, the surrounding earthworks and the hundreds of smaller mounds, he says, clearly required a dense population popu-lation and a well co-ordinated society. so-ciety. This population must have had some stable economic basis. "Hunting and fishing," he concludes, con-cludes, "no doubt were of some importance im-portance as evidenced by barracuda jaws and other fish remains and by the representation of birds and animals ani-mals in realistic carvings on pipes. Consription of Labor. "There must also have been conscription con-scription of labor to construct mounds, which are 30 feet high, 150 feet wide and more than 200 feet long. We do not know what division of labor there was, but the excellence excel-lence of the art suggests a special craft of sculptors and modelers. To obtain obsidian from the Rocky mountains,, mica from the southern Appalachians, copper from Wisconsin Wiscon-sin and amphibians and fishes from the Gulf tit Mexico required time for exploration. Since most of the large mounds were built to cover the bodies of the dead, accompanied by their personal adornments and other objects, one can postulate a well-developed ritual associated perhaps per-haps with remarkable religious fervor. "The specific form of government organization cannot be known, but certainly some regimentation is indicated in-dicated by the great communal works. "Possibly their political organization organiza-tion was a northern extension of the system that prevailed in Mexico and Yucatan, although very few specimens speci-mens can be identified with Mexican Mexi-can deities;- Copper-head ornaments and colored woven garments decorated deco-rated with fresh-water pearls and mica suggest insignia of authority. At least persons with such attire would be set apart." Impact of Two Peoples. This strange civilization, Setzler believes, resulted from the impact of two peoples, probably without definite conquest by either. A survey sur-vey of the field shows the same culture, cul-ture, but in a simpler form, in tht lower Mississippi valley and around the Gulf coast. It appears to have moved northward until it came in contact with a more primitive but apparently vigorous and progressive people. "'" No clue has yet been uncovered, Setzler says, that permits the dating of this development more closely than some time between the beginning begin-ning of the Christian era and the coming of Columbus. There certainly cer-tainly were nor Hopewellians left when the first white hunters and traders came into the Ohio valley, for not a single artifact of European origin ever has been found in the mounds. In fact, the country was then inhabited by woodland Indians who had no memory of their predecessors prede-cessors or even legends concerning them. Patriotic Throngs Jam Treasure Isle i i v " I ?

Thunder Is Injurious, Kansas Woman Finds WICHITA, KAN. There is an old saying that lightning may be dangerous, dan-gerous, but that thunder never hurt anybody. But, like all axioms, it is not always true. If you don't believe it, just ask Mrs. Floyd Foster. Fos-ter. Mrs. Foster was lying in her bed asleep when a violent thunder storm struck the city. The claps of thunder thun-der were so sharp that the reverberations rever-berations rattled windows and shook the walls of houses. When the storm struck, Mrs. Foster woke up, but she thought there was no danger. She was about to go back to sleep again when large chunk of plaster, shaken loose by the thunder, struck her in the face. She suffered cuts on the face and had to be treated by a physician. Her baby, asleep in a crib near by, was not injured. No. 1 Sunshine Town Wants Federal Proof LAS VEGAS, NEV.
