rapidly as it considers practicable, there
is a well defined feeling here that time
and preliminary discussions are work-
ing on the side Of the Unted States in
its effort to include troublesome dip-
lomatic problems within the scope of
the conference.
This belief is particularly manifest
just now with relation to Japan, the
only nation that has not yet accepted
unreservedly the American suggestion
that Far Eastern questions be consider-
ed with the general topic of disarma-
ment. Confidence that such an unre-

that the queston of full participation is
one of lively debate they are taken as a
welcome sign. The same may be as-
sumed also with regard to the London j

The impression that time is a friendly
factor in all of the considerations and
that undue impatience might lead to a
misunderstanding of the real motives
of the United States in proposing the
conference is regarded as explaining
the indisposition of this government to
hasten preliminaries. It was indicated
today that nothing definite had been
done toward physical arrangements
nor even toward issuance of a formal
invitation and that it might be some
days before there was another concrete
development.

BUILT ABOUT 1650 B. C. I
Without question, Stonehenge is the
oldest work of man in all the British
Isles. It is believed to have been erect-
ed by the Celts shortly before the close
of the Megalitic period—or about 1650
B. C., in the Bronze Age. 1

When the devil built Stonehenge, he
brought the stones from Ireland, ac-
cording to the old English tradition
which accounts for the mysterious pile
of stones which lie near the ancient
town of Amesbury. England, on the
Salisbury plain. As he flew over the
Avon river near Bulford, the tradition
continues, one of the great rocks
shipped from his grasp and fell into
the waters, where it remains until this
day.
But a legend is only a legend, clearly
unacceptable as an authentic account of
the building of this monument of the
past. So the building of Stonehenge
still remains a mystery. But recent ex-
plorations bring to light something of

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Prof. Dallas Lore Sharp of Boston
university believes that training chil-
dren as the Indians were trained makes
them alert and resourceful and fits
them for the problems of life better
than any other method. Professor Sharp
is the man the late John Burroughs
' called “the greatest nature writer in
America.”
He has been working out an experi-
ment in “nature education” with his
four boys on his farm in the hills of
Hingham. He says:
“Every child—boys and girls alike—
should get a country background to fit
them for the fullest kind of self-expres-
sion.” L
The boys are Dalas, Jr., 20; Whit-
still, 18, who have just completed their
sophomore year at Boston university;
Morrison, 16 and Huntington, 15, who
will enter Boston university this fall. -
“And so we came to live here in
Hingham,” continued Professor Sharp
“Two of my four boys were born here,
and the four of them have had experi-
ence with everything that lives and
they are there, they will stand forever.”
A GREEK WAR INDEMNITY.
Another theory is that of ProfFlind-
ers Petrie, world renowed archaeolo-
gist, who conducted a recent research
of the great “bluestones of Stone-
henge.” His theory is that the ancient
monument was built with the proceeds
of a long forgotten war, the stones be-
ing sent across the waters from some
defeated foreign land.
A Harvard professor, Richard Nor-
ton, in 1911 cast a new aspect on the

the war and continued until recently.
The money which is unaccounted for
was said by the chairman to have been
disbursed by operators of government
owned boats, for which a full account-
ing has not been made. The chairman
further asserted that of 9,000 voyages
made, only 3,000 had been accounted
for, and that 200 auditors were now
working on the books of these oper-
ators to find out what happened.
A balance sheet of the shipping
board’s books classified receipts from
operation of ships, $300,000,000; from
appropriation, $100,000,000; from bal-
ance on hand July, 1920, $80,000,000, and
from sale of assets $200,000,000, a total
of $680,000,000.
Expenses were! General operations,
$409,000,000; new ships, $160,000,000;
dry docks, etc., $6,000,000; supplies, $18,-
000,000; advances to foreign offices,
$15,000,000, and miscellaneous expenses
$72,000,000, a total of $630,000,000. From
this balance sheet Mr. Lasker said that
the board has spent above earning
$100,000,000 in direct appropriations,
$80,000,000 from a balance of a previous
year and $200,000,000 from assets, sales,
or $580,000,000 of deficit.
"I‘am asking congress for $300,000,000
for the year,” Chairman Lasker said,
“and I fear that I may throw a lot of
sand into the gear box of tax revision,
but we estimate that it will take from
$100,000,000 to $125,0(10,000 to run the
next six months. We plan to pay for all
losses of operations and settle a part
of‘the claims against the shipping
board, amounting to more than $300,-
000,000. These may be settled at no
more than 50 cents on the dollar, be-
cause they are believed to be padded.”

the known facts, and since Stonehenge
was the center of inhabited Britain at
that time it seems almost a certainty.
Especially when one considers that
Stonehenge was holy ground, where,
according to their customs, the traders
could bring their goods and transact
their business, without fear of molest-
ation or robbery.”
SIGNS OF HUMAN SACRIFICE.
In 1666,’the writer points out, Aubrey
made a drawing of Stonehenge, show-
ing certain depressions in the ground
just inside the earthen wall which sur-
rounds the entire temple. Since that
time the cavities have disappeared, but
in the recent research work they were
located. Twenty-three of these depres-
sions have been excavated. With the
exception of four, all of these “Aubrey
holes” contained cremated human re-
mains—also bits of broken and charred
bones. These finds point to,one of two
things——human sacrifice through burn-
ing or cannibalism. Human sacrifice
was known to have been practiced by
the Celts. Strong evidence has also
been found in the section of England
about Stonehenge which points toward
the practice of cannibalism.
The London writer favors the theory
of human sacrifice, and draws a vivid
imaginary picture of the ceremonies
dedicated to appease the . sun god,
whose favor was all important to these
agricultural people.
But after all, it is only a theory
strongly supported, perhaps, but still
only a theory. The mystery still re-
mains unsolved.
but that was not its only purpose. In
the old days in Britain, law and re-
ligion were identical vocations. Mat-
ters of government and administration
were left in the hands of the priests.
The kings and nobles did little but
lead their men in battle. Under these
conditions, the writer declares, Stone-
henge was also the seat of prehistoric
justice.
“Visitors see only the stones them-
selves, but investigations show an an-
cient avenue leading from the temple
in a straight line for about five hun-
dred yards. There it divides, one
branch leading to the Avon and the
other to the ancient racecourse known
as the Cursus. Although this course
appears to be Roman, a close examina-
tion of the ground proves it was laid
out in the bronze age—many centuries
before the Romans invaded England.
Great significance is attached to the
roadway connecting the temple and the
Cursus, as it provides a link between
the religious and the secular, and es-
tablishes the contention that Stone-
henge was not exclusively a place of
worship.
“Both legendary and geological con-
siderations lead us to believe that the
lowland lying beside the ancient road
Which leads to the Avon was a naviga-
ble waterway at the time Stonehenge
was built. For what purpose did the
prehistoric inhabitants of, Wiltshire
build a road running from their temple
to the water and thence on to the Avon
ford ? It could hardly have been for
their own convenience, since the bulk
of the people lived to the. south and
west of Stonehenge and required no
roads to lead them to their place of
a temple of the Druids for their mys-
terious worship. The "altar stone” is
supposed to have been steeped in
human blood many times in the past
when the priests offered up a sacrifice
to their gods.

Mrs. Mae Genovese of 1015 Seventieth
street, Brooklyn, receive a Carnegie
Hero Medal. Mrs. Genovese, ignoring
her inability to swim more than a few
strokes, plunged into the boiling surf
at the end of -a jetty seventy-five feet
from shore, seized two children about
to sink and fought off exhaustion till
help came while she clung to the jetty
with one hand and pressed the two
little bodies against it with her free
arm.
Mrs. Thomas McDonald of 600 Grove
street, Jersey City, took her two chil-
dren, Tommy and Anna, to Dreamland
Park beach and let them paddle in the
wave edges, though neither could swim.
In a moment, when she was inatten-
tive, Tommy, availing himself of the
masculine privilege that he felt went
with his seven and a half years, started
roving. The long pile jetty, extending
out into the water, offered attractive
exploring ground and he made his way
to the end. He leaned over, splashed in,
gulped and went down.
Mrs. Genovese and Cecilia Stackhouse,
14 years old, who live in the same
house, were at the- end of the jetty.
The girl heard the splash, thought Mrs.
Genovese had fallen in and jumped in
herself, though she could not swim.

deficit was greater by $280,000,000 than
previous estimates from official
sources and was made following an ex-
amination of all board accounts.
The government’s venture in the mer-
chant marine business last year In-
volved a total expenditure of $680,000,-
000, so far as could be ascertained from
the board’s books, which Mr. Lasker de-
scribed as in bad shape. The new
chairman estimated that it would cost
the government $300,000,000 to carry on
operation of the fleet this year.
In stating that an examination of the
books showed that $380,000,000 had been
expended from the public funds of the
shipping board last year, Mr. Lasker
said that this “revealed an astounding
case of absolute deception to the coun-
try and congress.”
“The president was astonished and
dismayed that such a condition could
exist when I laid these figures before
him this afternoon, but he wanted me
to give the public the facts,” he added.
Total expenditures over receipts ap-
peared to be approximately $380,000,-
000, Mr. Lasker said, instead of $99,518,-
567.11 as previously shown by the
board’s books. A commercial concern
operating on a similar basis would have
been in the hands of a receiver some
time ago, the chairman asserted, stat-
ing also that he knew this state of af-
fairs was not the fault of Admiral Ben-
son, former chairman of the board, nor
of Controller Twendle. He said that it
No matter how heartily we eat, if
certain all-important elements, called
vitamines, are lacking in our diet, we
will be under-nourished. Only in the
last few years have these elements
been known, and now scientists recog-
nize that nearly all cases of anemia,
neurasthenia symptoms and run-down
conditions are simply due to a lack or
vitamines in the body. - Nearly all mod-
ern foods contain very few vitamines.
And yet we must have a constant sup-
ply of these miraculous little organisms
which alone are so essential to health
and vitality. And now it has been dis-
covered that a small quantity of ordi-
nary yeast, taken regularly, will sup-
ply all the vitamines needed for glow-
ing health. Added to the diet, yeast
i makes old people younger, restores
energy and normal weight to the thin
and run-down, and has a wonderfully
beneficial effect on growing children.
. Yeast also clears up bad, pimply com-
plexions and banishes boils.
“The Miracle of Yeast” is still a new
' thing to most people, but yeast’s amaz-
ing value as a health-builder has been
I proven beyond doubt by numberless
' experiments in great medical institu-
tions. The real problem of scientists
has been to obtain just the correct
form of yeast. This is known to be
brewer's yeast. The common yeast
cake is ineffective because it is only
about 20% yeast and the rest starch
and water.
At last the perfect yeast combina-
tion, highest in vitamine-strength, has
been worked out by famous chemists.
It is a concentrated vitamine tablet
prepared from brewer’s yeast and cer-
tain reliable tonics such as iron, which
Increase the effect of yeast itself.
