SUCH IS LIFE ? Camouflaged mfwirarTO Trace Indians Columbus Met on First Landing Ethnologist Makes Important I Find in Bahamas. Washington, D. C. ? Who were the Indians that greeted Columbus at his first landing in the new world? Herbert W. Krieger, the Smith sonian Institution's curator of eth nology, has just completed an archeological study of the Bahamas in an effort to obtain some light on this problem. The discoverer of America first stepped ashore on the present San Salvador or Watling island, east ernmost of the Bahamas, and was met by the "Lucayana ? simple, honest and exceedingly liberal" na tive Americans. The Bahaman abo riginals soon became extinct. They left relatively little to indicate who they were. Thin Soil on Rock. Mr. Krieger carried out excava tions in caves on three islands ? New Providence, Long Island, and Apdros ? and recovered artifacts which enable him to give at least a tentative answer to the question of the cultural relations of these peo ple. One reason for the scarcity of HAS IMPORTANT JOB A new portrait o f Maj. Gen. Sir George Younghusband, K. C. M. G., the keeper of the English crown jewels for the past 20 years, to whom the coming of the coronation will mean new duties and increased responsibilities. Sir George is a vet eran English army man. He fought in the Afghan war, in the Burmah war, in the Boer war, took part in expeditions in India, and topped off with five years service in the Great war. He has published a few books about the crown jewels and the Tower of London, where he lives, and also a book on his experiences as a soldier. deposits is that the limestone rock is only very thinly covered with soil on most of the islands. A cave is about the only place where any thing is likely to be found buried. Among the artifacts found by Mr. Krieger were so-called "celts" of polished greenstone ? axes or ham mers from which the handles have disappeared. The material proves that they originated in Haiti and must have been brought to the Ba hamas either by the original mi grants or as articles of commerce. This proves, in any event, a defi nite link with Haiti. No celt of carved shell or of native limestone was found. The native negroes of the Ba hamas, Mr. Krieger found, are very superstitious regarding these celts. They insist the articles are "thun erbolts" which fall from the sky, ury themselves in the earth or the ocean floor and come to the sur face again after seven years. These objects are highly prized because they are considered effective in warding off danger during hurri canes. Some Came from West. Mr. Krieger also found seats of carved wood and thick-walled, in cised pottery. Similar artifacts have been found in southern Florida and substantiate the statement of the Indians to Columbus that Indians from the west came to the Bahamas to hunt pigeons, which are still found in great numbers. The evidence is strong, however, that the main cultural association of the old Bahamas was not with Florida, across the gulf stream, but with the island Arawaks afterward encountered by Columbus in east ern Cuba and northern Hispaniola. Shark Patrol Will Set Traps Around Australia Sydney. ? The greatest shark hunt ever attempted, involving the clos ing of nearly forty miles of bays with a wall of nets, has started here. The plan is designed to protect the famous surfing beaches of Syd ney, and will cost the New South Wales government $23,750 a year. Two hired trawlers at first will operate within the bays, catching any sharks which may be trapped by the nets. At first the sharks will be killed, taken out to sea and dumped, but later, when four new ships will be available, it is hoped to build a factory to turn the car casses into liver oil, fertilizer, and leather. The many miles of nets needed, with adequate reserve supplies, must all be made in Australia, from home grown cotton. The company which is carrying out the scheme says that besides making the beaches safe for surf bathers, the trawling will help to develop the Australia fishing indus try. Surf bathing lifesavers have al ready thanked the government for starting the shark patrol.

BARRETT In each of us dwell moral and mental forces which are character istic of either a coward or a hero. A hero has cour age. The coward lacks courage be cause it is si lenced by more dominant forces, the principal force being fear. The coward is alraid to ven ture; the hero thrills in the throes of a great adventure. The coward trembles m the presence ol uncertainty; (be hero finds his Joy and enthusiasm is in proportion to the risk involved. The coward instinctively withdraws CAT WINS $50,000 "Ginger," five-year-old Persian cat, held a ticket on Puska Belle, third place winner in the Grand National steeplechase run at Ain tree, England, and brought his own ers, Mr. and Mrs. Ransford Chase of Los Angeles, $50,000. Mrs. Chase purchased the ticket and put it in the name of the cat. Photograph shows Ransford Chase, ninety-flve year-old Civil war veteran holding the cat "Ginger" that won the $50, 000. from danger; the hero courageously faces it. The difference between cowardice and heroism is that the characteristics of personality which make the hero are silenced in the coward by opposite forces. The hero knows not the word failure; the coward is always afraid of that word. In numerous cases when a crimi nal is brought to justice and pena lized for his wrong doing, his con fession reveals the dominance of these forces which have made him a cowardly criminal instead of those forces which might have made him a hero. An unexpected calamity may turn a man of cowardly ten dencies into an heroic philosopher. Witness the scenes reported when the Lusitania was sunk in 1913 by a German submarine. The toll of 1,134 lives tells the story of in evitable and dominant forces at work in a crisis. The coward says that we are liv ing under the reign of law from which there is no possible devia tion. He is necessarily a fatalist. He does not have the power of call ing into being latent forces. Law to him is his own will, regardless of moral norms. The hero recognizes the reign of law, but senses, also, the power of the spirit within. A hero may get licked many times, but he keeps on marching straight up to the- mountain and carefully removes all the sand from his shoes as he goes. Lord Morley, in his volume "Rec ollections" writes of Gladstone, upon whom he had called: "It was a Sunday afternoon. There the old fellow was, doing what all old fel lows have done for ages, reading a big Bible." This scene doubtless ex plains the unique heroism of Eng land's "Grand Old Man." Within one's own personality abide spiritual forces which if nur tured and properly directed, will make heroes of as all. Without the free expression o I these forces, we are bound to become cowards and fatalists in a world which is imder the domination of the merciless reign of law. ?
