Part of the Old Inca Wall and
THE traveler who is able to en
dure high altitudes will look
about the world today be
fore finding a more pic
turesque or Interesting historic spot
than the region of the Peruvian
Andes, the original home of the Incas.
Cuzco, the City of the Sun, was their
capital and the seat of the old dynasty
that ruled an empire extending f om
Quito in Ecuador to the southern coast
of Chile.
Here on the west coast of South
America there existed a civilization in
the early part of the sixteenth cen
tury when the Spanish conquerors ar
rived wjuch was more advanced and
productive of agricultural results, es
pecially, than that which has been
seen since under the rule of the Peru
vians of Spanish stock, writes Clayton
Sedgwick Cooper in Christian Herald.
Although these Inca remains are
found throughout the Andean sections
of Peru, the capital city of these races
of men, who lived and worked and
carried on an ordered civilization long
before our fair North American lands
were discovered or settled, continues
to be the great center of Interest to
those who find in these early ruling
races of South America subjects of
fascinating study. Every part of Cuzco
is remindful of the past. It is one of
the most antique and spectacular of
cities. It is too remote to have been
very thoroughly modernized as yet,
though a railway recently built, and
owrned by an English company, con
nects It with the west coast at Mol
lendo, after a two days' train ride.
"Sorochee," or mountain sickness, Is
common to travelers visiting these
lofty regions where one reaches over
14,000 feet above sea-level. Yet the
proximity to the equator affords a cli
mate capable of permitting many kinds
of agriculture on the rolling plains and
In the rich valleys of this mountain
world. White men are comparatively
few. Mixed breeds abound. The In
dians do virtually all the work, and
under conditions that resemble slav
ery much too closely.
Strange Scenes In the City.
As one enters Cuzco through a wide
trreen valley studded frequently with
Tndhm villages, he finds this old and
famous seat of power lying In a hollow
of the hills, with green mountains all
about and an air of remoteness and
age afforded by the decaying buildings
and great Inca walls and temples. It
is at once evident that the city with
Its wide plazas was built for a much
larger population than that which is
found there today. The sanitary con
dition of the town reminds one of
Seoul, Korea, before the Japanese ar
rived. The medieval air of ecclesias
tlclsm is felt in the old churches, the
cathedral, and In the monasteries filled
with Spanish priests. The Indians
whoso famous capital here at Cuzco
ruled the land, now sell their trinkets
md vegetables In the market places
under picturesque booths and clad in
their even more picturesque ponchos
and flat, round hats; or bend double
beneath their heavy loads as they trot
through the winding streets.
The Plara des Armes of Cuzco is
unforgettable. If Is a sea of color,
color everywhere. There are Indian
men and women in variegated clothing
from the distant Sierras, modern
Choi os wearing hats made In Germany ;
a team of mules drags the antiquated
Cuzco horse-car and long trains ofV":

Shops and Their Keepers. f

the Temple of the Sun, Cuzco.
flower-filled square, more than eleven
thousand feet above sea-level, the
semltroplcal sun shedding Its warmth
radiantly upon your head through the
thin, transparent, cloudless air, you
find yourself wondering which way to
face lest something of the strange
ever-unfolding scenes escape your
gaze! One side of the square is lined
by a row of little shops filled with 57
varieties of merchandise in which pre
dominate gay-colored saddles and di
verse accoutrements for the burros
and pack animals, with profuse deco
rations of red and green and blue
wool; before these shops sit Indian
and cholo women holding in their
hands spindle spools which they manip ulate
dexterously during the Intervals
of trade, spinning the wool and weav
ing it into the poncho and caps and
full shirts of the native dress.
Above these quaint places of mer
chandise In the top of these two-stori id
houses that spread out over the side
walks are homes with elaborately
carved balconies overhanging the
street In old Spanish fashion, and with
red tiled roofs that glitter In the bright
sunshine.
Cathedral and Fortress.
On another side of the plaza stands
the ancient cathedral, built as one is
told of the famous Inca stone and con
taining the brother of PIzarro and that
Spanish conqueror's partner, Almargo.
On the doors of the chapel of San
tiago, adjoining the cathedral, one can
read the legend preserved In archaic
sculpture of St. James coming down
visibly on his white horse, standing
with lance In rest, turning the tide
of battle in favor of the Spaniards, thus
noting the last throes of the famous
Inca empire.
On still another side of the square,
you can study the remarkable facade
of the old Jesuit church and the an
cient University of Cuzco founded In
the sixteenth century, which buildings
are said to be connected by an under
ground passage, associated with many
an historic intrigue in the days that
are dead.
These great plles of ancient mason
ry look straight away to the east where
the great megalithlc fortress of Sacsa
huaman, that cyclopean structure of
ten called the ninth wonder of the
world, tops the hill 600 feet above the
city, and where one climbs to behold
the rock remains which guarded the
aboriginal Inca empire of Manco Ca
pac. On the summit stands a cross
bearing the Inscription to the effect
that he who climbs the hill kisses the
crucifix and says a prayer at the foot
of the cross, to him a hundred days of
Indulgence shall be granted.
Blind Man's Intuition.
Sir Washington Ranger, the Salva

knighted, is a remarkable man. He Is
now In his seventy-first year and has
been blind since he was fifteen. For
over 50 years he has worked hard and
voluntarily for all causes connected
with the welfare of the blind, and is
the only blind man to take the D. C. L.

PROFIT FROM COUNTRY'S LOSS
German Firm of Daimler Has Justly
Earned the Execration of Its
Countrymen.
The latest German papers to reach
this country are devoting considerable
space to the so-called "Daimler case,"
which has stirred all Germany. The
principal character of the case is the
Daimler firm of Stuttgart, which Is
one of the largest German concerns
manufacturing automobiles and air
plane motors.
The German public was Informed
that the German military authorities
had taken over the entire control of
the Daimler works. The reasons for
taking over the Daimler factories by
the government were not explained till
the matter was taken up In the reichs
tag. It was brought out that the Daim
ler firm repeatedly without sufficient
reasons, had raised its prices of auto
mobiles sold to the German govern
ment ; that it had refused to allow the
government to inspect its books, and
that its profits ran as high as 1,500
per cent, while the firm pretended that
its profits did not amount to more than
11 per cent.

Ways of Utilizing Tomato Refuse.
A recent bulletin of the U. S. de
partment of agriculture brings, the
fact that vast quantities of tomato
refuse accumulating each year at to
, mato-pulplng factories can be reduced
to two products viz., fixed oil and meal
; both of which may be made com-
mercially useful. The oil from the
seeds Is suitable for use as an edible
oil or as a soap oil, and by proper
treatment can be made useful as a
! drying oil for paint and varnish, the
j meal has 'valuable qualities as stock
I feed. The department urges the es
tablishment of reuueinrj plants and tne
adoption of a co-operative plan of man
ufacture In the regions where toma
toes are extensively used to make cat
sups and soups, the seeds and skins
being at present discarded as useless.
The utilization of tomato wastes seems
to have made much more progress in
Italy than elsewhere.
Literature Among the Doctors.
The New York Medical Journal
deigns to enter the field of literary
criticism via the "Nine Humorous
Tales" of Anton Clteckov. In review
ing this volume the medical authority
remarks :
"For many years France led the
way In short story writing, though
many of them resembled delicate wa
ter color sketches having an unanalyt
Jcnl charm. . . . Then came the
American authors, who have equaled
: the French, but In a different way.
j Their short stories are like powerful
i sketches In black arid white. . . ."
I The Inspiration of these profundities
lies in the fact that Checkov wns once
! a doctor. This explains Checkov's pe-
I culiarities perfectly. He Is a doctor
as well as a Russian.
The Street Organ Deserts London.
It Is quite seldom that a street organ
Is seen or heard In London nowadays,
and the very few about are not ground
and trundled by an Italian or his wife.
The Italians have left their organs and
gone to fight their country's battles;
their women folk trundled and ground
the family organ In London streets un
til air raids decided them to start on
country roads. In consequence, the
provinces have had, and are likely
again to have, more "music" than they
ever bargained for. It's an ill wind
that blows nobody any good; at any
rate, the children will be of that opin
ion, but it Is to be hoped that the lit

to dance. Christian Science Monitor.

"Cabson used to be a loud-mouthed
fellow. You could hear him laugh a

"That's true."
"But he has toned down considera

"Oh, he met the fate that often over

Special Delivery.
A PIttsfleld woman telephoned for a
piece of Ice. Shortly afterward a big,
eight-cylinder touring car drove Into
the back yard The driver inquired
whether anybody had ordered any Ice,
and was told bv the puzzled woman
'hat she did. He thereupon took his
tongs, lifted a piece of ice from the
rear of the muchine, and toted It Into
the house.
WHAT CM
"Speed up!" Is the culi Irom sur
geon General Gorgas to the American
Ited Cross in its campaign to recruit
graduate nurses.
With the American army overseas
entering more and more into the light
ing, he said, the need for additional
nurses becomes Imperative.
The call is for 1,000 graduate nurses
a week for the next eight weeks, or
8,000 by October 1, tor the whole
country.
The states in Central division Illi
nois. Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska and
Wisconsin have been enrolling gradu
ate nurses steadily for military and
naval service, but will redouble their
efforts to meet this urgent request.
The public can help by urging every
rraduate nurse to enroll with the Red
Cross, and also by reducing calls upon
graduate nurses in case of illness,
using practical nurses wherever prac
ticable and learning how to handle
simple ailments In the home without
outside help.
"Waste not, want not" will be a new
Red Cross slogan.
Upon request of the war Industries
board the American Red Cross will
undertake a new line of work, the con
servation of materials now going to
waste.
This salvage campaign will be di
rected by a new bureau of conserva
tion at National Red Cross headquar
ters in Washington and will call for
co-operation by chapters ' throughout
the country acting upon instructions
given through division headquarters.
While the Red Cross will get the
benefit of the material saved or col
lected, the primary purpose is not to
raise funds for th-? Red Cross but to
save materials needed in the winning
of the war.

New Dresses
New dresses for school wear, made
to fit the requirements of the little
miss from about seven to twelve
years, seem to emphasize the sim
plicity that governs the designs in chil
dren's clothes. Simplicity grows
morp and more popular as the tastes
of the public advances. The demand Is
for strong fabrics, the simplest lines,
reliable workmanship and good finish
ing. In materials, heavy cotton rep.
canton crepe, strong, coarse linen
weaves and the tried and proved wool
clothes provide about all the dresses
for general wear. Washable goods
are woven in colors that are dark and
permanent, strong blues and browns
taking the lead for school wear. In the
new frocks for fall sleeves are length
ened so that they reach to the wrist,
arid there 4s more variety In their de
sign, but otherwise styles do not dif
fer much from those familiar to us
In the sunnier dresses. Little folks,
in these days of steam and furnace
heated schools r.nd homes, look to
coats and warm head and footwear
to fortify them against the cold of
winter.
The frock' of brown cotton rep with
hands and bindings In white rep, shown
in the picture, is as good an example
of a serviceable everyday and school
dress as any one could ask. The ma
terial is laid in four box plaits, which
are pressed In. They are stitched down
at the froiit and back to the depth of
a long yoke; their edges overlay a
hand of the white goods. White
nrrow heads are worked at the ends

ready have salvage or junk campaigns
under way. These probably will be
modified by the new policy to a cer
tain extent and chapters not now col
lecting waste materials will wait until
explicit directions are received before
starting into the new work.
England was saved half a billion
dollars' worth of materials wasted be
fore the war and this country, using
the great Red Cross membership of
more than twenty million persons,
should make a greater showing.
The war industries board will spec
ify from time to time the materials
specially desired and the chapters that
will collect them.
To Mention Furs!
To mention furs in hot weather Is an
offense, but short furs are to trim
cloth suits and coats next season, and
long-haired furs will be seen on plush
coats. Among next winter's model
costumes Hudson seal is of great im
portance, particularly on cloth coats.
One smart model in buff-tan velours !s
an example of this; it has a Hudson
seal collar and cuffs and the combina
tion is pleasing. Then beaver and
nutria are also good. These shorter
furs are liked on cloth coats but for
the rich plushes which are shown ex
tensively raccoon, oppossum and
skunk are important In the order
named. Fur fabric trimmings will be
In good style among the fashionably
dressed again also.
How Hats Are Worn.
Hats, be they large or squall, are
worn far down over the forehead, so
that the coiffure is almost completely
hidden. In front they are pushed down
nearly to the eyebrows, on the side to
the ears, and In the back to the edge of
the hair.
for School Wear
are finished with a white binding and
white band and arrow head ornament
the pockets. At the front a short, flat
band of white simulates a tie with two
small pearl buttons at the top and
three at the bottom.
Attractive Parasols.
A pretty parasol, carried at one of
the smart seaside places recently, was
of plum taffeta, quite plain except for
the bit of figured chiffon shirred over
the inward workings of the sticks and
steels that regulate the going up and
the coming down of the parasol, and
a big black wooden bead, sewed to
each rounded point of a scalloped sec
tion, that hung down, awning like,
around the edge of the parasol. An
other smart parasol, very effective
with a colored muslin frock, Is made
of white taffeta, with white enameled
sticks and handle and ferrule. The
only decoration Is a wide border of
eyelet embroidery done with white silk
threads.
Costumes of Lace.
Ecru lace frocks are particularly
fashionable this summer. The lace Is
dropped over plain net, also In the ecru
shade, and cream tinted taffeta is used
for the soft, plcot-edged sash shawl
collar and cuffs. Buttons of the taf
feta running up the long sleeve give
a piquant tailored effect to some of
these dainty lace costumes.
