j Tiie upper works form a square building,
about 100 feet on a side, surrounded
by a balcony.
Ai eaeli corner Is an <vlght foot urea
heavily reinforced, looking like the
[defenses of a medieval fortress.
' Tin- suiTai hilllding faces east; on
that side the lu fool high marble door

side t lie square outer huildiliK is another
square structure, its walls unbroken
by door or window. This inner
square rises Into the second story
of the surface building, which sits
hack some twenty five feet from the
first story.
The subterranean part of the vault
apparently is far larger than what
can he, seen. Half surrounding the
building Is a mass of red Kennicky
dirt, result of the excavation. This
dirt pile Is about 2n feet high, a city
block lone and a third of a block wide.
Many workmen are engaged on the
underground vault The nature of
this work has been kepi secret.
M appears likely that the treasury
will have an arrangement to Hood the

1 Death Masks Discovered
in Mounds in Wisconsin I

here is announced ;>v I'rof Ralph Linton.
University of Wisconsin anthro
pologlst, In the discovery of what are
said to be the first portrait death
masks ever found in Afhericn. The
masks were found In recently opened
burial mounds In northwestern Wisconsin.
The masks are said to he 3,000 to
4.OO0 years old. Professor Linton believes
they arc a record of aborigines 1
who came to this region from the
South; people touched with the civilization
developing in Mexico They
were farmers and traders and knew
the use of metal, probably coming here
for copper.
Professor Linton says In his report:
"Our work has thrown much light upon
the life of this ancient people, and j
especially upon their treatment of
their dead These were not buried at
once, but were kept for yeara aa honored
members of the community.**
The bodies of more than SOd Ethio- .
pians have been dug out of the ruins
of Addis Ababa, who were slain during
the pillaging of the city. All
ton ign and half the natives' homes
of the Ethiopian capital were destroyed
and all but one store was sacked
and burned.
