I I P h o n e 21 I Survey Site of Historic Battle Scene of Fight Between In. difcns and French May Be Made National Monument. WASHINGTON.?The Smithsonian Institution, in co-operation with the national park service, is exploring the site of the French-Indian battle at Ackia, Miss., with view to the possible establishment of a national monument. On that battlefield the French under Sieur de Bienville were decisively defeated On May 20, 1736, by the Chickasaw Indians, marking an initial turn in the tide against the French in the early stage of their long struggle with the British for control of the Mississippi valley. Henry B. Collins Jr., archeologist, is now making the local survey of the battle site near the present town of Tupelo, Miss., and will try to delimit the actual ground covered by the battle, which waa in effect a siege of a palisaded Indian town. Statement by Institute. The Smithsonian institution, discussing the project, said in part: "This three-hour engagement, in which the French colonial troops were handicapped by lack of artillery and the Indians were supposedly directed by English traders, may have had a significant effect, at the time unappreciated, on the long struggle between the two empires for possession of territory between the Appalachians and the Mississippi "The Chickasaws long had been hostile to the French and friendly to the English. Bienville had planned to crush them in a vise between his own troops and a French force under General d'Artaguette which was moving southward from the 'Illinois territory.' The latter never arrived and it was later learned it had been cut to pieces by a Chickasaw ambu|h; The Indians had taken many' prisoners and burned them at the stake. Defeat Considered Significant. "Henceforth, the unconquered Chickasaw constituted a serious obstacle to French progress from their gulf colonies to the northwestward. Otherwise they might have established a continuous fortified line west of the Appalachians between Canada and the gulf which would have been very difficult for the English to penetrate. "After the battle of Ackia the Chickasaws, members of that old Creek confederacy, remained in possession of the territory around Tupelo for approximately a century. They were one of the most progressive of Indian tribes, but were unable to stand against the southwestward expansion of the United States. "While primarily concerned with delimiting the site of Ackia, Collins will a 1st) try to locate other spots in the neighborhood significant in Chickasaw history." Robot Coin Picker Does Work of 20 Men in Bank SYDNEY, N. S. W.?A machine which sorts, counts and tests coins is in use in the head office of a bank here. The invention of a Sydney engineer, the machine takes a mixed lot of silver and copper coins and throws each kind into a separate receptacle, counting them, testing each coin electrically in one-tenth1 of a second and rejecting all spurious coins. It works at the rate of about $5,000 worth an hour, and on busy days gets through work which would require about 20 men. Whole batteries of the laborsaving machines, invented and installed by the same engineer are in use in the bank. Six of them count and test about $35,000,000 worth of florins and shillings a year. Another counts pennies and wraps them in neat bundles at the rate of $500 an hour. Queer Power of Girl, 13, Is Related by Witnesses JONESVri.LE.

ILL.--Four mtTHoh bees worked overtime last summer so that Halph Lidge. 17-year-old Chicugoan, could study at Northwestern university this year. He will work his way through college by selling the ton or more of honey which they produce annually. "I've been keeping bees for four ? or live years now," Lidge said. "It iv began as a hobby, but I realized that I could make money ut it and expanded my apiary. I have 40 colonies now, with about 100,000 bees ^ in each colony. I intend to start ^ another 25 colonies next spring." c Lidge is a freshman in the college of liberal arts, taking a pre-medical a course. He keeps his bees on a small farm on the outskirts of Chi- I cago, and sells the honey both u wholesale and retail. He reported that bee-keeping combines nicely ( with a college education, for during ^ the winter the bees cluster in their hives and require no attention. "In spring I investigate to see * how the bees have come through the winter," he said. "I combine e weak colonies or buy a few pounds of new bees, and check the whole e group for disease. In summer I ^ have to see that each colony has enough space for honey storage, and watch for swarming. In fall I pack a straw around the hives so they will keep warm during the winter." c He added that, contrary to popu- H lar impression, bees sting their r keepers at regular intervals unless they ore handled very slowly and carefully. In fall, when they are cold and irritable, they will sting no matter how they are handled. He explained with stoic calm that after a certain number of stings the body builds an immunity to the beevenom. "Besides," he said, "bee stings are a recognized treatmejit for rheumatism." Despite his st figs, Lidge maintains that he has the sweetest parttime job of any undergraduate in the country. He admits that he is a little puzzled by one point? does he keep the bees or do they keep him? Criminal Tactics Change But Little to Expert, 73 CLEVELAND ?Nothing new has occurred in the tactics of criminals in the last 43 years, observes 73-year-old George Koestle, superintendent of the butvnu of criminal identification here, who is lamenting over a move to retire him because of his age. "All through the 43 years I have served here, 1 haven't seen anything new in crime," said Koestle, who has studied backgrounds of some 80.000 criminals. "Each generation produces new criminals, but the crimes are the same." Koestle. whose efforts have made Cleveland's identification bureau one of the nation's most efficient, blames "environment" for breeding thugs, murderers, burglars and other criminals. Homes where no definite line has been drawn between good and evil are at fault, he believes. Possibly the dean of America's identification experts, Koestle is worried about legislation pending before the city council to retire all police and firemen at the age of 70. He has served under seven police chiefs and has turned down numerous promotions so that he could stay on the same job. Gift of 35,857 Acres of Land Given Boy Scouts TULSA, OKLA.?A gift from Mr. and Mrs. Waite Phillips of this city of 35,857 acres of land a few miles northwest of Cimarron, N. M., and $50,000 to be used in improving and developing the land for camping purposes, has just been accepted by the executive board of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America. The property is in the Rocky mountains, all above an "levation of 7,000 feet and rises in spots to at least 11,000 feet. It is the Kit Car- j son territory and the old Santa Fe . trail passes through it. There ire nine main canyons on the tract con- i verging either at the Cimarron riv- j er or the main branch of the Ponil river, which later flows into the Cimarron. Much of the property is virgin territory and under the careful management characteristic of Boy Scout camping those small parts which have been grazed recently will quickly be restored to their natural conditions. Indian's Head Is Found Carved on Rock Cliff GALLIPOLIS, OHIO?The chiseled outline of an Indian's head and feather headdress have been discovered on a rock cliff at "Vanden's Point," home of Homer W. Walter, president of the Gallipolis chamber of commerce. The head came to light after rains had washed silt and moss away i from the face of the rock. Evidence of a former Indian village which has been found in a nearby cave has r yielded many arrow heads, stone axes and other stone tools. The Ohio Archeological and Historical society will attempt to determine the authenticity of the head, it is said.
