Central Argerica‘s ‘Valley of Kings Mysterious ruined â€"citles, their carâ€" ved stone temples hidden amid the almost impenetrable Mayan jungles, some day may yield the actual story of the first Americans. _ Four more of thesevcities were discovered on Col. Charles A. Lindbergh‘s exploraâ€" ticn flight over the Yucatan peninâ€" gulaâ€"cities where one of the highest known aboriginal cultures was al ready on the wane when Columbus voyaged to the New World. Whence did they come, these peo ple who reared a great edifice to Kukul Can, the feathered serpent? How did they â€" build their temples with chisels of fint and calcite and without even a wheel to ease the pilâ€" Ing of stone on stone? What caused them to suddenly disappear, leaving the physical evidence of their civilizâ€" ation as a slowly crumbling enigma? The oldest Mayan native have only one . answerâ€""Quien . sabe?"â€"Who knows? Even the archaeologist has penetrated but a small way behind this veil of centuries. Mayan research progresses upon a ladder of question marks,. . How coes it happen that their language resembles the Japanese in sound, but not in meaning? What strange migration took place that they should use the hulâ€"che throwing _ stick, aimilar to the weapons cf the Eskimo, and still have no acquaintance with the bow and arrow of the midconâ€" tinent Indians? And their jadeâ€"here is another query. _ With unbelievable patience they worked precious stones, green, gray and black jade of a type never found an the American continent. The workmanship, for all its abort ginal character, possesses a delicacy that kas been likened to that of Cellint. But the source of the material itâ€" self has no explanation. The research under way at Chichenâ€" Itza, in northern Yucatan, is addâ€" ing much to the knowledge of this mysterious racs. It is being dircctâ€" ed by the Carnegie Institution under an agreement with the Mexican Govâ€" ernment. _ Recent interest in the puzzle has led to important corre‘a tive work in the Mayan linguistics, without which the undeciphered glyphs that cover almost every one cf their major structures cannot be made to yield their secrets. The discoveries on the Lindbergh‘ flight add new possibilities to those: already waiting for the archaeologist| in other Mayan cities Which hre| known but not yet explored. 'l‘he‘n flight !s credited with accomplishing ; as much in twentyâ€"five hours as a.’ reconnaisance party, backing its way' through the tangled growth, could do on foot in five years. _ Yet the subâ€"‘ sequent work is of necessity slow.| One ploneer in Mayan research found | a valuable object reduced to a thin: Himestone shell. Hoe saved it by spraying light liquid glue upon it wlthL an atomixer at intervals throuhontl three days. | The .possibilities of discovery in the land of the Mayas are almost as rich as‘among the tombs of the Egyptians. The Itza civilization was not so old as thht of the Pharaohs, but it bears a similar erlation to the developznt of the people of the Western Hehisâ€" phere. The student of the Mayas may be working in America‘s "Valâ€" ley of the Kings." Sisley Huddleston in the New Statesman (London)» (It has been sugwested in the~French press that Ramsay «MacDonald‘s visit to Washâ€" Incton was an "Angloâ€"Saxon" reply to M. Briand‘s plan for a United States of Europe). In spite of an unpreceâ€" dented amount of talk about Contiâ€" wental and world unity, we have enâ€" tered a perfod of remarkable diploâ€" matic activity. â€" Some years before the war the search for allies had practically ceased; there was a dipâ€" lomatic â€"crystallization; the Powers had lined up. Since the war there has been a gradual dissolution of the old assoctations; and although the process is not completed, yet it is sutâ€" ficlently advanced for us to say that an entirely new situation presents‘ itâ€" «elf. ‘The slate is not quite blank, but it has been to a large extent cleared.

Such mortality is greater in Ameriâ€" ca than fny other civilized country, the number of deaths to the thousand being 6.5, while in Great Britain last year it was 4.42 (exceptionally high iigures), in Italy 2.7, in the Scandtâ€" navian countrics 2.6, and in the Nethâ€" erlands 2.3 Now these unfavorable conditions of motherhood have two major results of a most disastrous character. One is, obviously, to in capacitate tens of thousands of women yearly for further childâ€"bearing, an evil the magnitiéide of which .may be pretty accurately computed. The other, which in America at least is widely recognized and is presumptively of great extent, but it is not susceptible of rtatistical ascertainment, is to deâ€" ter thousands of women, through fear, from childâ€"bearing or even from marâ€" riage." s + Childâ€"birth and Motherâ€"death His Hearing Restored The invisible ear drum invented by A.
