Opai Saturday Evaalat ta
grass Helmet of Explorer Magellan,
400 Yean Old, Found in Philippines
AN American army officer,
Major H. D. Selton, hat
just purchased from a More
data, or chief, the brass helmet
worn by the explorer Magellan in
1521 when he wae killed in the
Philippines after realizing only a
part of hie ambition to be the first
to «"circle the globe. The helmet
has been handed down from gener
ation to generation in the families
of the Moro chieftains, and its au
thenticity is Touched for by priests
in the Uligan and Parang districts.
The old brass headgear is entire
ly unaffected by more than 400
years of exposure to the moist cli
mate of the Philippines, retaining
its original smooth and polished
mrfara- The tooling and orna
mentation is still intact, as is even
the frail brass hinge used to fasten
the helmet under the chin of the
doughty old warrior.
Soldier of fortune and adventur
ing mariner, Magellan was spurred
by th« success of Columbus,
Gama and the other heroes of that
sturdy age of discovery. A Portu
- guese, he enlisted under the Crim
ean and gold banner of Spain, and
set out in 1619 to reach the Indies
by the kng voyage around South
America.
Coastmg to the south of Sooth
America he discovered the dark
and forbidding Straits which now
beer his name. Passing through
to the Pacific he sailed northwest
ward until he reached the Philip
pines. Here, daring a battle with
the natives, he was wounded and
died. After a voyage far-surpass
ing even the heroic accomplish
I meats of Columbus, the remnant
of Magellan’s party returned up
[ the Atlantic to Seville, in July,
1532—the first ship to circumnavi
gate the globe.
This bit of brass, surviving
through centuries the onslaught of
rust and corrosion which has des
troyed all traces of the short lived
metals, is a fitting reminder of the
qualities of endurance in the age
•f discovery that made it possible
to open up whole continent*.

ing resolutions protesting against the

FLORIDA SENATE
TO PASS ON BILL
FOR CONVICT CAMP
House' Amendment Abolishing
Corporal Punishment Is Now
In Hands of Upper Body.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 20—
Working up the first stage in abolish
ing the whip In the Florida oonvlct
camps, the senate today received from
the lower chamber of the Florida gen
eral assembly an amendment proposed
to the present statute which would do
away with whipping as a means of
punishment now leg-ally employed.
Over the opposition of 50 negative
voters, the bill passed the house late
yesterday ^lth lees debate and cross
Are than had been expected. The main
theme of the opposition centered on the
ability to control negro convicts, at
times, without the useof the lash.
Meanwhile the special Joint commit
tee investigating the death of Martin
Tabert, of North Dakota, continued to
call witnesses. Tabert's death, alleged
to have been caused by the whip in a
Dixie county lumber camp, where he
was under lease, and for whose death
Walter Higginbotham, former camp
whipping boss, is under indictment for
first degree murder, is mainly respon
sible for various legislative Inquiries
Into alleged brutality, and resultant
bills aimed at abolishing the whip and
the convict lease system.

All Columbia
Records
are now made by
the new process
EVERY Columbia Rec
ord made since the
Columbia new process was
perfected, has been con
structed with the super
quiet new surface.
Not only has this added
musical charm been given
to the rich symphonic
selections, but also to the
songs of the hour, the lat
est dance music, and the
always dear old-fashioned
melodies.
Never since the phono
graph was invented have
the music-loving public
been able to listen to
phonographic music so
nearly like the original in
unmarred melody, so de
lightfully free from the
scratch and scrape of
needle noise.
This never-]before
known surface quietness
results from the Columbia
process of constructing
records in layers or leaves
—a hard centre core over
laid with a material of
such exquisite smoothness
that the noise of needle
friction is never created.
As an example of this great
musical accomplishment go to
any Columbia Daalar and bjk
to hoar record A-3S31. It is
“Peggy Dear,” one of the lat*
est fox-trots, gloriously pl»H
by the Happy Six. It is like
listening to the orchestra itself
And as you listen, note the
absence of that old, irritating
grinding sound of tho needle.
All Columbia New Proe
ess Records are equally
delightful. They can be
played on any phonograph.
The Columbia process
is patented. Only in
Columbia New Process
Records can you secure
this perfect reproduction
of perfect music.
