SCIENTIST MAKES RICH
ARCHEOLOGICAL HAUL
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
MANILA, July 17. (£>)— One of the
most extensive archeological invest
gations ever made in the Philippine
Islands, covering a period of three
years, has been completed by an ex
pedition, headed by Dr. Carl E. Gut he,
of tlie University of Michigan. A
large number of articles, principally
Chinese pottery, have already been
shipped to the University of Michi
gan and other shipments are to fol
low.
“The expedition which was initiat
ed thru the efforts of the late Dean
C. Worcester, former secretary of
th interior of the Philippines, has
merely scratched the surface of Phil
ippine archeology,” Dr. Guthe stat
ed, “and we hope that the results
obtained thus far will serve as a ba
sis to advance the study of Philip
pine anthropology among scientists.
“The original purpose of the expe
dition was to make as complete a
study of the burial caves of the Phil
ippines as conditions and time per
mitted. The problem was found to
be much larger than expected, with
the result that the geographical lim
its of the survey were curtailed to
include only that part of the archi
pelago south of the ISth parallel. It
was also found that evidence of Chin
ese trade relations with the Islands
were encountered in graves and bu
rial grounds long since forgotten,
which were accidentally disclosed
by the plows of farmers in the hills
“The material results alone far
exceed the most sanguine expecta
tions of those who instigated the ex
pedition.”
In the course of two and a half)
years work in the southern Philip
pines every Island of any size south
of the 13th parallel of latitude was
visited at least once by members of
the expedition. More than 1,000 un
broken specimens of Chinese wares
were collected and several thousand
broken pieces were found in vari
ous parts of the region explored.
DEVICE AIDS BLIND TO
READ BY SOUND, CLAIM
LENINGRAD, July 17. (^—Profes
sor Rosing, a famous oculist of this j
city, has invented a new device by
means of which it is claimed the
blind are able to orientate them-,
selves and to read. In this appara- j
tus all daylight effects are replaced i
by sound. Experiments carried out
in the Leningrad Institute for the
Blind showed that the children, af
ter the use of the apparatus was ex
plained to them, were able by the
different shades of sounds to de-!
fine many articles in the room and
to recognize persons who were pass
ing them.
Professor Rosing is working to per
fect his apparatus and is also evolv
ing a new radio apparatus for trans
mitting graphic images at a distance.
By means of this apparatus, Profes
sor Rosing says, every letter of the
alphabet will be expressed by dif
ferent sounds. So far he has suc
ceeded in contriving definite sounds
for 18 letters and is hopeful of suc
ceeding in his ultimate task.*
HAIG SAYS HORSES WILL
NOT GIVE WAY TO THE
LATE WAR EQUIPMENT
LONDON, July 17. (£>)—'Tanks and
other motor equipment will not su
persede the horse in the next war is
the opinion of Field Marshal Haig.
Acknowiedging an honorary diploma
as associate of the Royal College
of Veterinary Surgeons recently, the
Field Marshal expressed the opinion
that the need of horses in future
wars would be as great as in the
past.
“We have heard a good deal about
modern war inventions which are
likely to supersede the horse,” said
the Earl, “but the production of
these inventions invariably produces
an antidote, and in order to gain
the greatest efficiency in the long
range of war appliances we will
need well bred horses for a great
many years to come.
Gateway want-ads bring results.
Anti-Christians Sought
To Prevent Resurrection
NEW YORK, July 17. (/P)—Dr. Earl
R. Bull, missionary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in charge of the
work in the Loo Choo Islands Dis
trict of Japan, reports that in his
travels about the island of Amakusa,
he recently came across a huge
grave marked by a large stone boul
der on which it is stated that the
heads of 11,111 Christians lie bur
ied there.
The grave dates back to the year
1637, when the Japanese practically
wiped out all the Christians who had
been converted to that faith by Ro
man Catholic missionaries. The in
scription over this grave tells that
33,333 Christians were slain, behead
ed and buried. Their heads were
buried in graves many miles distant
from the rest of their bodies. Only
one-third of the Christian heads were
buried in this particular island .
When Dr. Bull made inquiries as
to why the heads were buried in
graves miles distant from the other
parts of the bodies, he was told, “when
the Catholic priests preached about
the resurrection, they said that
Christians would rise again. Fear
ing that it might be true, the offi
cials of the persecuting Shogun de
termined that they would make it
impossible for thefti to rise again by
separating different parts of the
bodies of the dead Christians. If
their heads were buried in one town
ship and other parts of their bodies
in another township, they conclud
ed that the resurrection was then
impossible.”
Rome Building Church
To House Sacred Stair
ROME, July 17. (A5)—The dream of
three-quarters of a century to erect
a church worthy of the ecclesiastic
dignity and solemnity of the world
famous Sacred Stair is at last about
to be realized. Thanks to the small
offerings of thousands of Holy Year
pilgrims, who go up the 2S steps on
their knees, saying a special prayej
on each, most of the necessary funds
for the edifice have been raised.
These offerings have been supple
mented, of course, by a number of
large donations.

The architectural plan3 have been
drawn up and the cornerstone was
laid recently by Cardinal Pompili.
The Sacred Stair, for centuries' sit
uated in a small unobtrusive build
ing just across the square from the
great basilica of St, John Lateran,
is according to church legend, the
same one on which Jesus trod when
he came before Pilate. Some cen
turies ago one of the Christian Ro
man empresses went to Palestine,
purchased the staircase and had it
brought to Rome as a perpetual
sacred relic. A special indulgence
of nine years is granted to devout
worshippers who ascend the steps
on their knees.
Nearly 75 years ago Pope PiU3 IX
began to interest himself in erecting
a larger church to house the sacred
staircase, and the project has been
furthered by each succeeding pontiff,
including Leo XIII, Pius X, Benedict
XV and, finally Pius XI. The Church
is to be on the style of a basilica,
31 meters long and 20 wide. It will
have three naves set off by marble
columns, and much of the ancient
decorations, such as rare frescoes,
will be preserved from the present
church to help decorate the new
structure. A prominent place will be
allotted for the inscription of the
church’s motto: “There is no more
sacred spot than this in the wrhole
world.”
Mrs. W. D. Hubbard, Vassar gradu
ate and big game hunter, managed
200 natives and more than 500 cap
tured wild beasts while her husband
was absent in an African jungle. She
will accompany him on a four year
expedition into Portuguese East Af
rica.

HEAD OF BRITISH AIR
FORCE WOULD ABOLISH
FUTURE AERIAL WARS
OXFORD, July 17. (/P)—An attempt
is being made to organize an Ah'
Force Officer’s Training Corps in
Oxiord, along the lines of the exist
ing University O.T.C. There are sev
eral difficulties to be overcome,
among them the university prohibi
tion of flying by under-graduates.
The anti-military spirit which char
acterized the under-graduates wrho
had been through the World War is
slowly passing away as a new gen
eration comes into residence and
the military training cources are be
coming popular again.
Sir Hugh Trenchard, the head of
the English Air Force, in a recent
speech at Cambridge, informed hi3
hearers that there is no defense
against air warfare, that it can aim
only to destroy the people and cities
and industries of the enemy from
carrying on a like program of de- /
struction. It he had his way, he
said, lie would abolish air warfare.
This admission from an officer so
highly placed has damped the ardor
of many aviation enthusiasts.
