Find Panama Is Rich in Relics Hundreds of Rare Objects Dug Up at Site of Indian Graves. PHILADELPHIA.?Several hundred gold objects of "exquisite workmanship," representing an advanced pre-Colombian culture and described as "comprising/ono of the richest finds ever made by a scientific expedition working in the Western hemisphere," have been dug up at the site of an Indian burial ground in Panama by archeologists from the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania and will be put on exhibition at the museum. According to Dr. J. Alden Mason, curator of the museum's American section, the Spanish conquerors in the Sixteenth century obtained "tremendous quantities" of gold ornaments of this kind but melted most of them down and shipped the metal to Spain. The gold relics, together with many pottery and stone objects, were recovered at the Sitio Conte, or Conte-Site, in the Province of Cocle, about a hundred miles west of Panama City and 10 miles from the Pacific ocean. Found With Skeletons. At least half of the gold objects found by the expedition came from 1 of 23 skeletons in three levels of a single grave. Presumably that of a chief, it had five of the large plaques or disks, as well as Ave smaller disks of thinner gold but also with ornate pictorial repousse ornamentation, and 30 small, thin gold disks with simple designs. Dr. Mason pointed out that reports of the Spanish Conquest stated that the chiefs wtic geCJ dish* ir. battle. On the skeleton of the same tribal chief who wore the 40 gold disks lay a pendant of heavy gold more than four inches long, in the form of an ornate animal figure, "probably a conventionalized crocodile," with an emerald about an inch in diameter set in its back. Dr. Mason called this "one of the most beautiful and extraordinary gold objects ever found in America." "The use of precious stones in a setting of gold," he said, "is extremely unusual in native American cultures and few examples are known. The emerald is not of great commercial value and was probably obtained in Colombia." This same chieftain also wore wristlets and anklets, including a beautiful pair of cuffs of solid heavy gold seven inches long. Interesting Objects. In the opinion of Dr. Mason some of the most interesting objects found were animals and human figures of carved bone, ivory or rosen, with features such as feet, tails, wings and heads of gold applied to them as onlays. "These," he said, "are very fragile though very beautiful and required careful museum treatment before exhibition. The ivory employed apparently came from the teeth of the sperm whale or manati ribs. ^ther typical objects are .. whale teeth with heads or ferrules of gold." Hundreds of stone axheads and thousands of projectile points, along with several teeth of a fossil shark "which were apparently found in the Cretaceous strata and preserved as fetishes" comprised other discoveries of the expedition. The burying place at which the members worked apparently covers four or five acres and presumably was reserved for the nobility, chiefs, their wives and servants. Bobcat as Deer Slayer Is Declared Not Guilty SHINGLETON, MICH.?An experiment conducted by the Michigan conservation department at the Cusino game area near here indicates that the evil reputation of bobcats in the minds of deer hunters may be undeserved. S. C. Whitlock, pathologist in the game division, said he had not found a single instance of a deer being killed by a cat in four years of feeding experiments. He has personal knowledge of one instance where bobcats passed through a oneacre fenced plot in a natural deer yard in a swamp and apparently paid no attention to the five deer, two of them fawns. Census Deflates Quip Of Small Missouri Town KINO CITY, MO.?For 10 years King City residents used a catchy quip to reply to questions of visitors regarding the town's population. "It's 1,101 and I'm the one," was the stock answer. Now all that will be changed. The 1940 census count lists the population at 1,100. So many claimed to be "the" one that something had to be done about it?that was the theory of one census taker. Judge Fines Both Drivers After^Head-on Collision HAGERSTOWN, MD.-Magistrate E. H.

DeKalb Pharmacy, Camden, P. C. 5 " gjE : - Washington. 1). C. October 25? America's parade of man power to the Nation's polling places October 16th was utt Inspiring demonstration of the determination of the peoplo of the United tltatee to prepare for defense of tho democratic way of life. This was not a hording of dictators' subJtH'tn Into a gooao stepping army of tut groaskm. but an exorcise by the free citizenry of its privilege and Its obligation of serving a free country?by a temporary sacrifice of civilian comforts In exchange for', a beneficial seasoning in the rigors of military life; and by a resort to arms and a rendering of greater sacrifices, If fate should so decree. As President Roosevelt aptly put It. the 16.500,000 young men who this month listed themselves with their Government for possible military service were responding to the "first duty of free citizenship"?the duty of dofending their families, tihelr fellow citizens, their homes, their intuitu* Hons, their country from attack or threats of attack from any quarter. The need for Gils peacetime mobilization of able-bodied men Is real and urgent. Tho crisis was not of our making. Wo have no desire to marshal our military might and to parade it for purposes of bluster or show. Our duty, the President lightly emphasized, was forced upon us by the IM-conoealod threats of a sinister combination of potential enemies of American democracy. There are abundant Indications that America's belated but total decision to go "all out" on tho defense front?as signified by Ootober lflth's registration of her man power?Is confounding those who dream of conquest. It may well be that the groat anny of "select* Ives" now bolng raised throughout the land will never find It necessary to use their military knowledge in actual ba/ttle with a foe. But thoso Americans would have the world know In no uncertain way that they are ready to rn&ko any sacrifice demanded by an emergency at uny time. Tills Is the American way of life translated Into terms of action that today's dictators can understand. In its plans to establish a smelter In tills country, to produce 18,000 tons of tin annually from Bolivian concentrates, the administration has taken another important step toward freeing the United States ftom dependence on sources outside the Western Hemisphere for the strategic materials essential to national defense. - A five year contract lias been signed with Bolivian producers,, guaranteed by the government of Bolivia, to supply the United States with tin ore. The Metals Reserve Company, recently organized by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to acquire stock of strategic metals, will either build the smelter or arrango for Its construction and operation by private enterprise. This country at present is almost completely lacking in smelting facilities. Tho United States is the world's largest consumer of tin. In 1936 American industry used about 70,000 tons of this metal. By contracting with the producer of Bolivia to supply the United Statea with 18,000 tons of tin annually, over a five-year period, tho ad ministration Is contributing to a closer economic integration of the Americas. Whatever may happen In Europe. Bolivia is assured of a substantial market In this country for the out-put of its mines. Bolivian tin is now sent to the United Kingdom for refining. With the construction of a stnelte- In this country, shipment of Bolivian ore across the Atlantic will no longer be necessary. The agreement recently concluded, therefore, should benefit Bolivia as well as tho United Statea. A commendable willingness to comply with the new registration and finger-printing law Is being shown by the alien population of the country, according to reports to the Justice Department. More than fifty per cent of the estimated 3,600,000 persons subject to the law have been listed, although the half-way mark In the registration period will not be reached until later this month. Advices to the Justice Department Indicate that the registration has gone forward with little or no f riot Ion.
