Finally the king tired of her, and seeing that the relic was shining unnaturally, and being superstitious, he labeled his wife a witch and cast her out. Returning to her home, she made up her mind to dispose of the relic, which she blamed for her misfortune.

Some years later the king was notified that large fish congregated near this spot, on the Myitynge river, at certains seasons of the year. The fish, it was found, would come up to be fed by hand.

Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, who was a persistent advocate of amalgamation of the army and navy air services.

Manipulations of Inventory are not Infrequently found, and these can always be checked accurately by the field examiners of the bureau, and no business of any size can keep accurate books and at the same time manipulate Inventories. Some taxpay ers, evidently, are of the belief that they can hire unscrupulous accountants who reconstruct their books, and then if the fraud is discovered blame it all on the accountants, to whom they usually pay large fees." In many instances field examiners have discovered that taxpayers keep two sets of books, one set accurately setting forth the status of the business and the other set fraudulently setting forth their Income, and merely kept for the purpose of defrauding the government.

One great difficult pertaining to the present separate aircraft services that has Impressed him is that there Is no systematic method of awarding contracts for the construction of aircraft. One branch awards contracts without regard to any other government aircraft organization, and the President believes that tills Is detrimental to the upbuilding of private aircraft manufacture in the United 'States. The aircraft manufacturers are dependent almost entirely on governdement patronage, as commercial is claimed mands are small, and-- it that unless the government so arranges Its contracts as to distribute contracts among all those concerns which produce aircraft meeting government standards, some of them may be obliged to go out of business. In these - circumstances President Harding Is understood to feel th a central government aircraft organization will be better able to determine how contracts should be awarded for the entire government.

While it Is the last of the states to be admitted to the Union, and as SUCh uan.-t-i its existence only from 1912 Its history before the advent of white men dates back into the dim past. Here Mere located those interesting people, the Cliff DMellers, aud the ruins of their cities high up In Inaccessible places have caused much speculation as to these ,ancient people. It is supposed that these Cliff were the ancestors of the Pueblo Indians and decidedly more advanced in civilization than their neighbors. They were probably of tiie same race as the Aztecs of Mexico and understood Irrigation, agriculture and the building arts. It .was rumors of the great Pueblos that instigated the first visit of the white men. Padre Nlzan in 1539 explored this territory and he was followed by Coronado In, search of the mythical wealth of the- - Indian cities. Coronado, though failing to find the reputed gold, did discover the Grand Canon of the Colorado with its wonderful scenic beauty, uhleh has become one of the great assets of the state Tills region was considered part or s the Spanish territory and when Mexi- co declared its Independence It became a Mexican province. After the Mexican war the section north of the Gila river was ceded to the Unlied States and the southern portion was - acquired through the Gadsden Purchase in 1853.1 In 1803 Arizona was separated from New Mexico and made a' territory. Indian uprisings and the great extent of desert land tended to retard settlement. 'With the suppression of the Indians, and the development of Irrigation. the state has made steady gains In populations The Roosevelt dam, the second largest In the world, was opened Jn 1911 and irrigates 270,-00- 0 acres of arid land in Arizona. The derivation of the name Arizona Is uncertain, but it possibly came from the Spanish, meaning dry belt." TERRITORIES of Our THE Story would be complete without a brief mention of the other territory of the United States, which Is not Includstates. The ed in the actual forty-eigbiggest of these territories is Alaska, with an area of 590,884 square miles. This huge region was under Russian domination until 1867 when the United States purchased it for $7,200,-00or less than two cents an acre. There was some grumbling at the time by a few congressmen over adding a refrigerator to the United States. But the refrigerator has been found to be d with gold, coal, forests and fisheries, so that Alaska has proved a profitable investment. Hawaii, like Alaska, is a regular territory. In 1893 there was a successful revolution against the Hawaiian queen, and a provisional government was formed nndpr American protection. In 1898, at the request of the population, Hauail was annexed to the United Statgs. These islands contain 6,449 square miles. ' Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippines were ceded to the United States 'in 1899 as 'a result of the Spanish-America- n war. Porto Rico and the Philippines are dependencies and not territories. Their Jocal affairs are administered by a legislature of two houses and, they are represented In the. United States by resident commissioners elected by the legislatures. Guam is under the control of naval officers In command of naval .stations. Under similar naval control are tbe Tutuila group and Samoa, which were ceded in 1899 by Great Britain and Germany. Then there Is the Panama Canal' Zone, which was purchased from Panama In 1904 for $10,000,000. This Is governed by the Isthmian Canal commission under the supervision of the war department and of course 1ms no presidential vote. , The year 1917 saw trie purclins? from Denmark of the Virgin islands, for $25,000,000. These aggregate only 150 square miles and are temporarily governed by a naval officer. . Finally, there Is the District of Columbia, which was organized in 1791, as tbe seat of our federal government. The residents have no vote for either local or national officials, nor are they represented in congress. Congress acts as tbe local legislature for the district and three commissioners appointed by the President act as the administrative body. not . Thres Species of Giraffe.
