NEW TORK, Nov. 20. (Special.)
More than 1000 years before the dis
covery by Columbus, and several hun
dred years before that of Lief Eric
son, America was discovered by a
Buddhist missionary,, according? to a
theory put forward by Dr. William
Henry Holmes of Washington, D. C,
ex-president of the Archaeological In
stitute of America and author of
works on the American Indians and
of other anthropological publications.
Certain ancient sculptures found in
temples of Indians in Guatemala and
Mexico resemble Buddhas too closely
for accident. In the opinion of Dr.
Holmes. The specimens resembling
Buddha are few and are entirely dis
tinct from the ordinary Maya school
of sculpture, according to Dr. Holmes.
He conjectures that in the heydey of
Buddhistic propaganda, in the early
Christian centuries, Buddhist mission
aries who were then penetrating all
parts of Asia and some islands .of
the Pacific and Indian ocean, crossed
the Pacific and landed in America near
the Isthmus of Panama. They ap
parently made converts and induced
some of the able Indian artists to
execute Buddhas, but produced no
lasting Influence on the Mayan civili
zation, which extended from Yucatan
to Colombia, and which produced
higher-class artistic work than any
other American Indians, including the
Aztecs and the Incas.
Ships Capable of Voyage.
Aside from the apparent Buddhistic
Influence, the Mayans and other In
" dian tribes show no evidence of con
tact with European or ABiatic civili
zation In pre-Columbian days, unless
It Is assumed that the ancestors of
the modern Indiana made their way
from Asia to America 25,000 years
ago or so. Anthropologists conjec
ture from the fact that the American
Indians never appeared to have made
use of the wheel for spinning, pot
tery or transport that they must
have migrated from Asia, if they did
originate there, before the use of the
wheel was widely known. In a dis
cussion of the theory published by
the Smithsonian institution, Dr.
Holmes compares In detail the- sup
posed Buddhas of Guatemala with
genuine East Indian Buddhas, and
continues:
"With regard to the manner in
which elements of Asiatic culture
could reach middle America in the
early Christian centuries the period
of Buddhistic propagandism it may
be said that the seagoing capacity of
the ships of that period was very
considerable, and it Is thus not Im
possible that by design or by acci
dent Buddhistic devotees should have
landed on the shores of America.
Journey Not Impossible.
"Neither Is it Impossible that these
devotees of a creed, determined to
carry their doctrines to the ends of
the- earth, should have coasted east
ern Asia, reaching the continent of
Porth America by way of the Aleu
tian islands. The journey from Alaska
to middle America would be a long
one, but not beyond the range of
possible achievement for the fan
atical devotees of Buddhism. The sug
gestion that the hypothetical sunken
continent of the Pacific may have
served as a bridge is deserving of but
slight attention."
If Buddhist missionaries did arrive
here a couple of thousand years ago,
they found among the Mayas a civili
zation which probably had many
thousand years of native American
development. The origin of the na
tive Americans possibrji found by
Buddhist missionaries at the begin
ning of the Christian era, found at
about 1000 A. D. by Lief Ericson and
in 1492 by Columbus, is Btill a pro
found mystery. Theories range from
the supposition that anthropoid apes
came over here hundreds of thou
sands of years ago by a land bridge
of which the Aleutian Islands are the
remnants and that the Indians evolved
here independents; that early human
types like the Cro-Magnon of French
caves came here, 60,000 or 100,000
years ago by way of Iceland, during
one of the stages of the earth when
the Arctic was warm: that the orig
inal settlers were Asiatics who came
by way of the Aleutian islands; that
the original settlers were Malayoid
peoples who crossed the Pacific by
boat.
Indications of Relationship.
Indications of the pre-hlstoriu rcla-J
iionsnip between the American In
dians and early human beings of Eu
rope In Asia are not found in lan
guage, but are found in legends, in
certain peculiarities of primitive im
plements But-h as the making of cer
tain types of bows. In physical char
acteristics and in the almost world
wide UBe of the swastika as a good
luck sign. Swastikas, which are still
a cherished emblem among the Nava
Jos and other Indians, have been
found in Britain, in ancient rock
carvings in Sweden and on the sites
of Troy and other ancient cities. In
his discussion of a series of photo
grarphs of real Buddhas of Asia and
conjectural Buddhas of America, Dr.
Holmes said:
"The problem to be solved Is wheth
er or not these exceptional features
which appear in Toltec or Maya art
are due to the intrusion of Asiatic
elements In comparatively recent cen
turies. They were probably employed
In the embellishment of earthen ves
sels or as architectural details. The
well-modeled smiling faces are broad
and fat. with weak chins and high
cheek bones and distinctly narrow
tilted eyes.
"Still more unusual are' the faces
and sculptured heads of a type quite
common as architectural embellish
ments in the ancient temples of liau
temala In general contour the face
strongly contrasts with that of (he
I average Indian, the features lacking
all the boldness and virility of the
tribes of today. At the same time
there is in the smooth, roundish,
placid face, the small mouth and In
the tilted eyes a decided suggestion
of the features of the orient, and
wi)ci!:.f of tiis piacid countenance
so characteristic of the sculptured
image of Buddha. The suggestion of!
Asiatic influence is strengthened by i
a study or other ancient sculptural
and architectural remains found in
great plenty in Mexico and the Cen
tral American states.
a Asiatic Influence Doubted.
"Numerous authors have found in
these and other features of Maya
sculpture convincing proof of the
early Introduction of Asiatic Influ
ence in Mexico and Central America, i
while other writers with equal con
fidence express the view that the
features in question are without par
ticular significance, being nothing
more than the normal variants of na-
tive types. The Maya people were
i exceedingly versatile and in their
I treatment of the human physiognomy
J were much given to the grotesque
and humorous. This tendency was
I emphasized by the practice of intro
j duclng images of grotesque animistic
deities into every phase of their
sculptural and plat-tic art.
"The calm, well-modeled Budda-
Iike faces appeared out of keeping
with their vigorously moflelcd neigh
bors, and if not portraits of individ
uals, they would seem at least to rep
resent a well-marked and familiar
facial type, whether native or other
wise. Mention may be made of other
suggestive features of Maya culture
which tend to supoprt the theory of
foreign influence. To one at all con
versant with the architecture of the
East Indies, these Central American
ruins have a familiar look not read
ily explained save on the theory of
relationship in origin. This impress-ion
is not readily overcome, and it
is further observed that the sugges
tion does not end with general ef
fects, for the architectural details
and especially the sculptural embel
lishments and the manner of their
application to the building confirm
the impression.
I'arallellMm lit Kemnrkable.
"In the pose of figures the parallel
ism is truly remarkable, and that this
parallelism should arise in two cen
turies of culture (and two ' only)
among totally isolated peoples occu
pying opposite sides of the globe
challenges belief. It is further ob
served that in these ambitious struc
tures there are suggestions of under
lying crudeness as if the ideals of an
advance culture, had been abruptly
imposed upon the crude beginnings of
a comparatively simple people.
"It is objected that in Maya art
there are found no sculptured ani
mal forms absolutely identical with
those of the old world. The elephant,
for example, so important a sculp
tural subject in India, does not ap
pear in these ruins, although there
are snoutlike features that suggest
the trunk. On this point. It should
be noted that even if visits of the
Buddhistic priests are allowed, full
Identity in the sculptured forms of
animals could hardly be expected,
since the priests, devoted to the
preaching of their doctrine, would
hardly " be architects, sculptors or
draftsmen, and the concepts intro
duced by them ' by word of mouth
would, from necessity, be worked out
by native sculptors, using life forms
with which they were familiar or
monsters drawn from their Pantheon
of deities."

DENVER, Nov. 26. Sitting in the
juvenile court here today Judge Gra
ham of Georgetown recommended for
Mrs. Clyde Cassldente of Denver an
operation that would make It Impos-
ible for her to bear any more chil
dren. Mrs. Cassidente, who already Is
the mother of five, was haled before
the judge on complaint of Denver so
cial workers to show cause why her
children should not be taken from her,
the complaint alleging that the family
home was filthy and that the children
had been neglected and were under
nourished. Dr. Ray Sunderland, testi
fying in the case, said he believed
conditions at the Caesidente home
were the result of the mother bearing
children too fast.
'What would you suggest as a rem
edy?" asked Judge Graham.
"That Mrs. Cassidente submit to a
sterilizing operation." replied Dr. Sun
derland. "I will continue this case until Jan
uary 10th," the judge announced, "and
in the meantime I want the doctor'
suggestion carried out."
Dr. Sunderland stated that the hus
band of Mrs. Cassidente, who is a no
tary public and an Italian interpreter,
already had agreed to permit his wife
to submit to such an operation.

LONDON. Nov. 26. (Special.)
Amid the turmoil of political contro
versy and industrial strife there
comes from Cuba a message of hope
and solace, according to the Dally
Telegraph. The Havana cigar is rap
Idly regaining its pre-war popularity,
and nowhere is its return to public
favor so marked as in England. The
news Is interesting and suggests pos
sibilities in the direction of Increased
tranquillity. We read that the gray
ash has become a feature at the Irish
conference, but perhaps It is only a
sign of the times that the prime min
ister should have passed "Havanas"
around the table and that the dele
gates should have "1U up.
The wonderful leaf of the Vuelta
Abajo district of Cuba has experl
enced vicissitudes In recent years. In
the days of the war shipping diffi
cutties militated against the export
trade and there were occasions when
in this country the cigars available
fell far below requirements.
Field Used for Sugar.
Then, with the rise in the price of
sugar, areas previously used for the
cultivation of tobacco were utilized
for this valuable product, and Just
when the prospects for the tobacco
Industry In this country appeared to
be bright it received a blow in the
form of an additional ad valorem
duty. Treasury returns render it an
easy task to appreciate the finan
cial results of a tax, but it is more
difficult to measure its effects upon
the amenities of life.
All forms of taxation are irritating,
but perhaps none more than that
which interferes with the pleasures of
the palate. Tobacco has been de
scribed as a sweetener and equalizer
or the temper, and a cigar as a har
monizer of society, and It Is not with
out significance that, following the
Increased duty on the aromatic leaf
of Cuba, life seemed to lose much of
its wonted humor. .
The greatest men have all been
smokers and so were all the greatest
jokers. But a 50 per cent ad valorem
duty afforded little inspiration for
joking. The "Havana" was unfor
tunately taxed almost out of exist
ence, and with its gradual disappear
ance and the advance in the tobacco
duty went some of our natural gay
ety. The extent to which this has
Influenced the results of diplomacy
it Is impossible to estimate. We see
that "the time is out of joint" and
a statesman might well exclaim, "O
cursed spite! That ever I was born
to set it right." But It will be ad
mitted that to pass a box of Havana
cigars around a conference able is a
step in the right direction. It is a
proceeding less expensive today than
it would have been a year ago.
Tax la Reduced.
Fortunately the treasury appreci
ated the consequences, mentally and
financially, that might result from a
continuation of the heavy taxation
placed upon the Havana cigar. The
country was losing instead of gaining
revenue, and the removal of the ad
valorem duty has produced a result
which must be of interest to the treas
ury. Statistics show that during August
the official clearances from bonded
warehouses were equivalent to 2,533,
000 cigars, principally Havana brands,
against .988.000 in the corresponding
period of the previous year. This
sudden rise is remarkable, and if
"there's calm in a cigar" who can
estimate the soothing effects that are
likely to result from the wider dis
tribution of the choice Havana leaf?
The revival in the popularity of the
cigar is not only affording satisfac
tion to the members of the trade, but
it is giving a much needed fillip to the
cigar industry in Cuba, where British
capital amounting to millions sterling
is Invested. The plant for the choicest
products is cultivated in the district
of Vuelta Abajo. and probably the
public has little idea of the care ex
ercised In procuring the fine leaf to
bacco, as well as in the curing, ripen
ing and blending processes in order
to produce the Individual character of
different brands of cigars.
Rollins; Is Difficult.
The rolling or making of the cigar
is, of course, one of the most skillful
phases of the whole process of pro
duction, and there are Cuban cigar
makers who for years have been en
gaged upon one particular brand.
They have been described as artists,
whose work Is unequaled in the pro
duction of a cigar of perfect construction.
The utilization of plantations for
the growth of sugar has tended to re
duce greatly Cuba's output of tobacco,
and many years must elapse before
the total area devoted to the tobacco
plant will be equal to that under
cultivation before the war. But the
great drop in sugar values, combined
with the renewed popularity of the
Havana cigar, is calculated to stimu
late the industry.
England is regarded as the most
Important market in the world for
the best Havana products, and al
though the c'gar is very popular In
America, in proportion to the popu
lation there are far more smokers of
"Havanas" in the United Kingdom
than in the United States. t
Manufacturers in Cuba of the finest
brands of cigars have given careful
study to the requirements of the dis
criminating English palate, which has
long been regarded as that of a con
noisseur. The tastes of the English
smoker, are inclined toward a well
matured product. In America a
fresher "Havana" is usually more fa
vored, although in recent years a
tendency toward a change in this
respect has been observed, and sev
eral prominent cubs In New York
have purchased Havana cigars In the
London market in order to obtain
products more matured than those
supplied to the United States. If
there is any change In the English
taste it is in the direction nf fnvnrincr
a cigar of the Corona shape,
i Owing to the Increased cost to the
consumer, rendered necessary during
the period of the ad valorem duty,
"Havanas" remained longer in the
bonded warehouses. Consequent up
on this, the Havana cigars now
upon the English market have at
tained a state of maturity rarely.
If ever, reached before. The con
noisseur approaches them as he
does good wine, and, smoking
them slowly, enjoys the flavor and
delicate aroma that distinguish the
Havana cigar. He will not form a
judgment as to the strength of a
cigar merely from its external ckr.
A dark wrapper does not neces
sarily mean a strong cigar, or a
wrapper light In color one of mild
flavor. A cigar' should be judged
superficially by Its smoothness, its
fine texture, and the. perfume of its
wrapper. Nowhere are these indica
tions better appreciated than In Eng
land, where choice Havana cigars
have promoted social amenities dur
ing many generations. Life would
be unbearable if one should have to
cut out all its little luxuries. Far
from being unable to afford Havana
cigars, most men, it is said, cannot
afford to be without them.

BUDGET ACT TEST CASE IS
TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT.
Constitutionality of Law Ques
tioned in Suit Brought Against
Marlon County Assessor.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 2. (Special.)
Arguments for and against the con
stitutionality of the so-called 1921
budget law were taken under advise
ment by Judge Bingham here today.
Suit to test the validity of the law
was filed by J. E. Klmsey of road dis
trict No. 60 against Oscar Steelham
mer, county assessor. It was charged
that Mr. Steelhammer had refused to
extend a special road levy voted in
the road district because the election
had not been conducted in compliance
with the 1921 budget law.
It was pointed out by the plaintiff's
attorneys that the 1921 budget law de
fined road districts as municipal cor
porations, although the districts are
not provided with the organization to
function under the act. It was also
contended that because of the way the
road tax is expended it is impossible
to keep a record of the amounts spent
for services, materials and supplies.
and that there is no method of ascer
taining or setting forth the unit coBt
for the preceding years.
Numerous other objections were ad
vanced by plaintiff in his effort t
show that the 1921 budget law is in
valid and inoperative.
Because most of the road districts
in the state levied their taxes under
the 1921 budget law the outcome of
the attack on the act is being watched
with much interest.

Success of Movement Now on to
Abolish Lodging House Landlady
Yet Far From Assured.
Bi" JESSIE HENDERSON.
(Copyright. lt21. by The Oresonlan.
NEW YORK. Nov. 26. (Special.)
It is all right for New Yorkers to be
sophisticated to a certain extent. The
country expects it of them. But
enough Is too much when It leads to
such things as happened in East
Houston street. Nature, after all,
has some rights; Dame Nature, not
the human kind.
The film was flickering merrily in
an East Houston street movie house,
the heroine all curly and tearful and
the hero getting away with murder
as usual, when a flash of light
streamed across the screen. It was a
bright light, as strong as It was
strange. The like of it had not been
seen by East Houston street denizens
for many a day. Somebody shouted:
"Fire!" As one man, the audience
galloped for the exits. Three earnest
souls turned in fire alarms from three
different corners. Another equally
earnest soul telephoned to police
headquarters. In a minute and a
half the street was crammed from
curb to curb with fire apparatus,
while from two side streets came at
quick-step police reserves from two
i stations. Everything was in readi
ness for the fire except the fire.
Surprised and hurt, the police and
firemen entered the movie house. As
they opened the door that strange
light streamed across the screen
again. It was a ray of sunshine.
Kasy Money Still Found.
Every now and then some one of
tlie unemployed thinks up a new way
to remain unemployed and still have
money. Here is the latest. You ap
proach a ticket agent with your
handkerchief in one hand and a weep
ing girl in the other. You beg him
to let you have a ticket so that this
poor girl can reach the bedside of
her dying mother, which Is exactly
$85 distant. You hand over three dia
mond rings and a pearl stickpin as
security, promising to redeem them
in 20 minutes. The agent, drawing a
gnarled hand across his eyes, hands
you the ticket. You disappear with
the ticket and the damsel. Two
hours pass and then the agent sum
mons the police, who explain to him
that the diamonds ain't and neither is
the pearl.
There is 'a movement on foot to
abolish the lodging house landlady.
Officials of the association for hous
ing working girls say that girls
would rather live in a house with a
"hostess" who will listen to their
troubles and give them tea and toast
when they are 111, instead of a cheer
less abode with a landlady who bids
them tell their troubles to the police
and their ills to a charity clinic. The
big difficulty. It seems, is with work
ing girls past 30. There are no cheap
but attractive residence clubs which
take women of this age. which is per
haps one reason why there are so
few working women of this age any
way. Real Difficulties Seen.
The association plans to establish
a residential club for working women
over 30, though as some of them
pointed out, it the club is known as
the residence of women past 30, who's
going to live In it? Certainly not
women over 30. Again, if the lodg
ing house landlady Is abolished, what
will the comedy playwright do?
