Treasures Found in South Dakota Cave Ludlow, S. Dak.--Plans to explore three stages of prehistoric development In the Ludlow Cave region ye bring made, W. H. Over, museum curator at the University of South Dakota, has announced. The cave, which is sometimes called Custer Cave, was explored recently by a group from the university. According to the members of the exploration party, the cave owes its origin to erosion in soft sand and rock. It is about 35 feet deep, 15 feet wide and 10 feet below the ground level. Over, who screened the floor soil of the cave, discovered brass rings, gold rings and the scalps of two white women, which, he said,* indicate that the cave was used by the Sioux Indians in the past 100 years. Steel arrow points; knives and beads used In making trades with other tribes and the white men also were found.

(WNUSerrioe) ^OMEWHERE in the heart, the mind and the spirit of young Sterling was 4 barrier as high, p r a c t i c a l l y h i s l i f e was l o n g . Had you„even suggested anything of this to any member of the Buhlow family, they would have met the Implication with loyal and heated denial. How could Sterling secretly feel himself :an outsider in the Buhlow family, when not one of the Buhlow •children, although they, had quite simftly been told when they each became •eight, had an-atom of consciousness ithat Sterling was not blood brother? As .a matter of fact, bending too far backward perhaps to achieve this •end, Ann and Proscow Buhlow took j»aln« to see to it that Sterling received even more than their own chB- ,drea parrastai solicitude. The faet that Sterling had been adopted toy Ana during g previous marriage was as remote in the minds <>f her present husband and children as if It had never happened. " Sterling belonged. As the senior member of a remarkably alert group of children, he was the acknowledged leader of the clan. "Sterling is too outrageously clever," Ann was wont to remark of her alleged eldest, treating hit* to the colloquial young fashion of the modern mother. "He sets a dreadful example to the rest of the children. They have to live up to him." "Sterling is not clever,** Ann's really eldest, Shirley, would sing out on such occasions. "He's a soulless misa nth rope/ an acid-flinging cynic, a mlsbehaviorlst, and be passes off among the unworldllngs of my mother's generation as clever.** "Oh, Shirley, be yourself Terry, two years below Shirley, would retort on the fling of a soft pillow. "You know you'd give your sleepy bead to be as clever as Sterling." "What Shirley can't be, she Is not going to bid for/' remarked her father, dodging in turn the same sofa pillow flung by Shirley toward hhn,' that had been flung by Terry to his sister. "Father, It is a good thing yon make It a point to speak yonr true words in jest Otherwise your family would never grant you a hearing." Typical, all this, of the way Sterling stood In the admiration of his so-called parents and brothers and sisters. Not only the two older of the Buhlow children vested him thus in their full and enthusiastic approval, but the stepladder of younger ones followed suit with hero worshiping eyes. "Sterling this." "Sterling that." "If I had Sterling's brains." "Sterling Is the genius of this family." "If only Sterling would take the trouble he could be anything he set out to be!" Something undoubtedly there was in Sterling. The something that would not take the trouble. Time after time, her sweet, anxious eyes scrutinizing this youth, Ann tried to analyze that trouble. Proscow, too. And as Ann said banteringly of her husband, as a famous alienist whose Job it was to analyze the workings of the human brain, Proscow ought to be able to ferret out the way to attack the streak of cynical inertia In Sterling. "Darling, with all jfaur brains, Isn't there anything you want to bef* "I want my father to subsidise me with ten thousand a year as guarantee against the Aorirble thought of ever wanting to be anything." "Sterling, won't you be serious Jnst once? You're twenty now. The time has com^ when you simply have to decide what you want to do with your life. You're too talented! .Music Painting. Writing. I've a suspicion you can be a ^r^at pcursoa Id any one of them." _ - . , ' "Perhaps."'."!;^"' 5 "Proscow, you talk td WfT" Curious, with any one of their own children, this problem would have been treated in quite another manner. In fact, the problem of Terry had already been handled with d e c i s i o n and the school for his medical training selected. With Sterling, Jost because of his equivocal position In the household, the dilemma of stimulating him to action was a subtle and troublesome one. "You know after all, Sterling, your father, in spite of his wealth, could never be wealthy enough to encourage a dilettante in the' family." A flush ran beneath the pallor of the best-looking member of the Buhlows. Ann had struck In. Proscow. and rightly, would not permit one of his sons to live off of his largess . much less Sterling, the outsider. How to convey to these dear, warm • discreet people that gnawing, sicken: Ing sense of his outsideness. The very coloring of the eytes and hair of his five foster brothers and sisters was something Sterling could never look upon without the cold sense of being alien sweeping through the lonely inner moors of his desola tfon. The Buhlows were blond, every on«- of ^ them, blue-eyed, straw-haired. Dark, aloof, alone, lie stood in their dear, kind world--the alien whose Isolation no one dared mention. The alien, who by very vlrtnj of the anomalf M Iris position, was treated with conafarttions that hvrt mors than helped. All of his childhood. Sterling had yeaftted for the heartier reprimands handed out so unselfconsciously to the Buhlow children. No childish dispute bad ever been settled against him. The alien deferred to I The same way now with bis retarded decision, with not <gne other of hls' cTlttdren would Pro&cow have been so indulgent Terry was a concrete example. Even Shirley, the only girl in the group, bad never met the quality of indulgence that had bees meted out to Sterling. It tnade the bitterness and the hurting and the secret gnawing pain of being special, and a little outside the dear, inner group of people who were dearer than dear to him, almost too vast to be borne. It was not alone the. sense of being the outsider, it was the knowledge that their unspoken sense of it kept them all so cruelly .considerate, so deferential to his special position. Not even his foster father was to sense this out as the secret of the curious problem confronting him in this fostsr son of his. Too had. Most gifted member of the family. Brains. Talent. Will get his bearings in t!ine, of couroe. But a cuffloua yoked kind of psychology to the lad. Doesn't car© si great deal about anything. Fine intelligence. High strung, but not unduly nerrous. Sensitive, of course.' But somewhere in the machinery of the boy's fine mind, a monkey wrench. For a while Shirley had seemed to have easiest access to the confidence of Sterling. They were so close; so filled with admiration, each for the other. Their entire childhood bad been like that Merciless in their repartee, gibe and banter, they were nonetheless closer than any. other two of the children. But then at this stage, When more than ever Sterling had become the noncommittal dilettante, even Shirley had fallen back defeated. Something was'eating Sterling. However, in the end it was Shirley who was to find her way into the tormented labyrinth of Sterling's dilemma. •.. The recital of bis years of secret anguish and hurt and Jealousies came from him one night in a torrent, on the heels of a discussion they had been having together on the subject of his refusal to compete for an art prize. Sentence by sentence, revealing commitment by commitment, the strange secret tortures of the years lay revealed., "I'm too jealous, Shirley. Top eaten with the devilish pain of being an outsider to the people I love best in the world, to care about anything. I'm licked before I start. You can't want anything badly enough to go out and get it when you're eaten with a devil like that It will always be that way with me. Homesickness, heart sickness, to be one of s group that will always too consciously ^nd conscientiously try to make me think I am what I am not* "You fool," said Shirley, after hours of letting this too long dammed-up confession flow from him. "You darling, blessed, adorable idiot The only thing, Sterling, that has made all these late years of mine the grand luminous years that they have been, is the fact that you are not one of us in the sense you mean. Fool. Darling idiot Please, please don't sit there pretending you don't know what I mean. Sterling--how terrible it would be if really you were of 'tis." Suddenly, seeing her there in a radiance that was as beautiful as it was unmistakable to him, Sterling did see . . . and seeing, came to bless the fact that he was not one of them 1 .

In the year 1281, this trade had so extended that laws were passed for its regulation. , In Scotland coal was worked at about the same time and a charter was granted in 1291, in favor of the abbot and convent of Dumfermllne, In the county of Fife, giving the right of digging coal to the lands of Pittencrieff, adjoining the convent Coal began to be used for smelting about the beginning of the Seventeenth century. The working of coal gradually Increased until the beginning of the Eighteenth century, when the steam engine was brought forward in the year 1705, and was applied to collieries in the vicinity of Newcastle about the year 1715. This engine produced a new era in the mining concerns at Great Britain and collieries were opened in every quarter and the coal trade increased to an astonish ing extent , POTATOES--Red River Early Ohio Seed Potatoes, No. 1.
