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.

Working for Him.
EVANSTON. 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.

face.
The coroner's Jury ordered Brown
held without bond for the grand jury.
Lewis H. Barlow, of Syracuse, N. Y

him heat it on a gas stove, saying it
"used too much gas."
