nurvey is now being made by the
United State* Touring Information
Bureau, Inc., headquarters in this
city, to gather data for the third <"di
tion of the Tourists' ('amp Ground
Map and Directory of the United

annual movement of tourists begins

Leading garages and hotels, such
as can In- recommended for tourist
patronage, will be Hated, together
with camping ground facilities in
thousands of towns and cities. Aero
plane landing fields will also-; be
shown on the map, such being 41 new
and desirable feature.
^ Every marked transcontinental
highway in tho United States,- as well
as principal roada are plainly shown.
Different from all other maps on the

designates paving in every instance
where 4t> is completed.
L. B.-?Strothman, engineer and map
designer of many years' experience,
has recently completed the map which
will accompany the guide under an at
tractive cover. The map is largo
enough to readily convey alt , the in
formation noceasary to safe and com
fortable touring, yet not cumber
some.
The United States Touring Infor
mation Bureau, Inc., haa set for a
standard a national service for tour
ists, a service that is reliable and
complete in every detail. Although
the firat nod second editions of the

Stream" ami other publications de
voted to tourist interests have hailed
the guide as a book filling a long-felt
need.
Each year road improvements and
increased output of automobiles has
steadily swelled the transient popu
lation of the country until it in now
a force to 1h> reckoned with. Thous
ands of towns arid cities have soon
the necessity of establishing camp
ing grounds and otherwise providing
for the tourists, both from the stand
point of attracting business to the
town or city and the value of good
will and advertising go gained,
The United States Touring Infor
mation Bureau, Inc., seoka to fill the
gap by bringing the tourists and the
town's facilities together and this is
being accomplished by means of the
guide and map. It is a service of
great value to both the tourists and
the towns and oities listed.
PRINTING NOI SK ITS.
President Says There is No Logger
Any Demand for Fine Printing.
The De Yinne Press, one/of the old
est printing establishments in the
country, is going out of business, says
a New York dispatch. James VV.
Bothwell, ^ president, announced the
firm's decision resulted from "inabil
ity to get the type of men suited to
1 our needs." He said also there was
no longer a great demand for fino
printing. The business was founded
in 1838 by Samuel Plows and later
was owned, by Theodore Lowe De
yinne. For years it printed the Cen
tury and St. Nicholas magazines.
Mr. Bothwell, in explaining the rea
son for discontinuing the business
said:
"Labor unions are absolutely prohi
bitive of fine work. Under their rule
the worker becomes a mere machine.
It takes years to develop craftsmen
such as our work requires.
"There is no longer the groat de
mand for fine printing. Production
and quantity are the watchwords to
day.' Business men are educated to
l ey altogether on price lines. The
last thing that people w?nt to pay for
today is quality."
Charged With Making "Home Brew."
Raleigh, N. Dec. 20. ?Resigna
tions of four instructors' at North
Carolina State College of Agriculture
and Engineering here have been re
quested as a result of charges that
they made "home brew" in their
rooms. Dr. W. C. Riddick, president
of the institution, announced today.
The president did not give any fur
ther details, except to confirm reports
that the action followed an investi
gation by students who conducted a
private investigation. The names of
the instructors who were said to have
offered their resignations as rc
. quested, were given as C. V. Busbe.
? T. H. Parks, C. B. Buckner. and .J.
C. Miller. No further action is con

Washington.-- Dr. J. Walter Fewken,
chief of the bureau of American eth
nology, Smithsonian Institution, who
returned recently from archueologlcal
tteld work on the Mesa Verily national
park, (Colorado, reports the unexpected
unearthing of h prehistoric ruin te
which he hua given (he name "Pipe
Shrine House." The name is the result
of a large number of tobacco pipoa
found stuttered in n circular shrine !
JiiHt as they had been thrown there dur
ing ceremonial J'ltes untold centuries
ago.
Mean Verde purk was reservod from J
settlement some jnnrs ago by congress
on account of the numerous cliff dwell- 1
lnga In Its eauyou, but later it was dls- i
covered that there were as many pueb

the cliffs. Theee have fared badJj {

excavation of a mound In the nei^h- |
borbood ef what Is knewa te MOQr
motor tourists as Mummy lake. Ifce

' estlng.
! Out of the mound emerged a rede*'
gular building, 70 feet square and one
story high, accurately oriented te the
cardinal points of the compass, with a
circular tower formerly 115 te 20 feet
high, like a church steeple, midway to
the western wall. Thia Cower Is sup
posed to have been for observation,
Rnd. as It Is very important for an
agricultural people to determine the
seasons of the ye^, it was probably
by watching the sun as It rose or set
that they determined the time for
planting.
A Ceremonial Lodge.
In the middle of this building was
found n circular room 20 feet deep and
about the same In diameter, In which
were found more than a dozen clay
pipes, numerous stone knives, pottery,
Idols and other objects. Pipes of this
kind never have been found on the
Mesa Verde, and as all Indications
point to the belief that after the rite of
smoking they were thrown Into the
shrine, the ruins were called IMi>e
Shrine house.
A few t'cet south of the building,
which was. not a habitation, but specials
Ized f??r ceremonies, there is a stjuare
room *>r shrine dedicated ti> the moun
tain Hon, a stone Image of which was
found surrounded by water-worn and
other strangely formed stones. A sim
ilar shrine Is found on the northeast
corner of Pipe Shrine house, in which,
among other objects, was a small iron
meteorite and a slab of stone on which
is depicted h symbol of the sun.
The cemeteries of the pueblos of the
Mean Verde nre situated near their
southeast corner, and, while the burials
In them have as h rule been removed
by vandals, several Interments were
found near Pipe Shrine house. One of
these was left without moving a single
hone and an Incisure with h weather
proof roqf was erected over it, so that
h visitor can view a skeleton more
than .V)0 years old with fowl bowls
and other pieces of pottery Just as
they were when left by relatives.
Thia is said to be the first time mre
has been taken to preserve for Inspec
tion a pre-t'olurtiblan skeleton <>f an

luptcy a few months ago, with J. S.
Brice of York aa his attorney, lie
had assets in excess of his liabili
ties, but certain creditor were push
ing him and he wrh unable to realize.
It appeared that there watt nothing
fine to do but go into * bankruptcy.
Adjoining landowners offered him a
fair price for his land# >ands on the
