Kansas City. High on an Arizona mesa in the foothills of the mountains, 'near a worn Apache trail, the only two girls In Kansas City to study the pre historic , culture oi the New world, Mary Jane 0ad3n .and Virginia Narr '. spent tea week doing 'field work un der the direction ot Dr. Byron Ounv mlngs, says the Kansas City Star.' It 'was while assisting in the excavation t,th JTt r'--1 t-jv,WJF'' -Atwvu tat ti.jr uonrtumlkir room, finding three skeletons and many Important relics. 1 "The ruin .which we-were" uncover mg." says Miss Hayden la telling of their experiences, 9was called Klnlshba (brown house), the name handed down by legend, as these' early Inhabitants of the Southwest Kid n written la guage. Klnlshba is a tremendous ruin, one of the1 largest' ever discovered la the United States, and Is divided into eight separate groups of which one was being excavated. In this group 87 rooms, and a patio had been uncov ered when we .commenced our work. Rooms Doortooa Indowlooo "It; is billeted at Klnlshba was built between the dates 1200 and 1820 and was originally a twonrtory house. The first floor rooms have no windows, no doors and were apparently used for storage. Doctor Cummlngs is ot the opinion that the whole upper story burned and fell Into the lower because of the large amount of charcoal and debris as well as doorway slabs found in the excavated rooms. "In the hope of uncovering another room we were assigned a plot Just back of a line of excavated rooms, so we were reasonably certain that we would find some relics before we had dug very deep. "Using picks, shovels and trowels, we turned up the earth near the back wall, as our most Important Job was to locate the walls of our room and from them to designate the position of every relic which we found. "We were required to level off the ground at every foot, lifting off layers of dirt Instead of digging holes. About nine inches down we unearthed the first evidence of prehistoric life a mano or stone Implement for grinding corn. In quick succession we turned up rubbing stones, stones for smooth ing arrow shafts, polishing stones for making pottery, prayer stones and frag ments of pottery. Paints Mixed for Use. "There were bone relics, too deer bone, coyote, rodent, bone flints snd scrapers for cleaning skins, bone dag gers and awls, needles, horn chippers. There were paint dishes made of hoi-lowed-out stone, and nearby small quantities of paint, ground and mixed for use. "We found spindle whorls made of clay and used In winding yucca yarn, ornaments of shell and bone, pendants, arrowheads and spear points and brace lets. One of the most interesting of these ornaments was a turquoise bead, then a rare and difficult stone to ob tain, as few are found in ruins. "We were down more than live feet before we found our first skeleton. "Thus far only the bones of babies have been . found Jn . the ruins, the bodies of the adults having been placed In a burial ground across the arroya. Twelve babies, however, were found burled in one room of the ruin, and we found three in ours. The skull of one, had been cracked, leading us to believe that the child had been killed in a fall from the second story." Proves Early Indians ' - Not Primitive Savages Tucson, JAris.

The city government of Greater Shanghai has opened four mod el village for the poor, with houses renting for 00 American cents a month. This social housing scheme under the direction' of the labor, welfare commis sion of Greater Shanghai, la the begin ning of a construction program designed to provide sanitary, comfortable homes for the more thsn 190,000 Chinese poor who are now living in filthy mud and t-irt; dlllnons In PhaAghal'f slums. the chairman ship of General Wu Teh-chett, mayor of Greater :. Shanghai, was established In April,; 1938, -.to linprove housing ot Shanghai's poor.' f The problem has been aggravated by the Influx of thousands of farmers, forced to desert the land because of drouth or flood.. These unskilled labor era generally become jlnrlklsha pullers or wharf coolies, and earn a precarious living on the borderline of starvation. Jlnrlklsha pullers alone number more than 80,000, and their dependents ap proximately 240,000. Most ot these un skilled laborers Uve In mud or reed-hut dwellings, of which there are 30,000 In the slum districts of this city, r ' A survey of rents discloses that the average rental paid by the families of jlnrlklsha pullers in the International Settlement is $2.43 (78 American cents) a month, the highest being $5.10 ($1.54, (American currency) and the lowest 00 cents (27 American cents). .The aver age monthly rent paid by 83 Chinese girls, working in one factory in the In ternational Settlement, Is 86 cents (28 American cents). The four model villages recently pop ulated have an aggregate of 956 "A" type houses and 44 "B" type dwellings. In addition, each village has two dor mitories for unmarried persons. The "A" type dwellings, fireproof and waterproof and provided with plenty of light, consist of a kitchen, toilet, living room and an upstairs sleeping room. These houses rent for $3 (90 American cents) a month. The "B" type houses, which rent for $4 ($1.21, American cur rency), have three rooms, in addition to a kitchen and toilet, and have no sec ond story. France Traces Marianne Back to the Revolution Paris. Like America's Uncle Sam and England's John Bull, France has her Marianne; and, like Uncle Sam's and John Bull's, Marianne's origin long has been a question of lively debate. However, according to researches which have been carried out, It would appear that the name had Its origin in Montpeller, In central France, at the time of the reign of terror. At that time the nume Marianne, de rived from Mary Magdalen, was one applied to women of doubtful morals. According to this explanation, one ot these women was once called upon to represent the goddess of reason In a republican fete at Montpeller. The chance was too good a one to be missed, and the hated "aristoa" took It, and from then on dubbed the personi fication of the new regime with this name. There la another similar version which says that a "Marianne? Was the mistress ot Chaudron-Bosseaui a mem ber of the convention, who liked to see his partner parade at republican fes tivals representing the goddess of rea son. : . ., rt r The two explanations are so similar, that there can be little doubt here lies the origin of the now respected name of "Marianne," whose ample figure personifies the republic of France. None but German Names j - t (German Christening Berlin. Babies born In "Germany to German parents must be given Chris tian names of German origin, It is laid down in instructions issued to regis trars of births. Where foreign names have been .adopted . .Into the German language these may also be used, and as exam ples are given the names of Margot, Hetene, Beate, Senate, Henrietta, Alice, Charlotte, Dagmar, and Dagmara. Ap parently It has not been so customary to ' adopt . foreign names for boys, for only one--Charles la mentioned. Charles, It Is stated, may b em ployed to maintain a Huegenot tradi tion., j .

Thus, no German registrar dare perrclt even a foreign baby to be given the name Lenin, , .
