The devotion of the Polish pea santry to land is traditional. For centuries the peasants have con sidered moving to town a misfor tune. , Only- in ' extreme necessity do they, abandon 1 their native fields to find bread in the cities. When they do they leave with a aocret hope that some day they can return with money to buy a place in their native village.

Of Mayan Em ' pi re Being Sought NEW ORLEANS, La. (AP) A due to the mystery'tshielding the history of the Wayan empire is sought by Tulane Upiversity scien tists now engaged in classifying and studying the new materials their latest expedition . brought from Guatemalan mountains. Oliver La Faree and Douglas Bvers sDent three months in the vicinity of Jacaltenango, in the Cuchumatamas mountains of northwestern Guatemala, studying the peculiarities of a tribe in which a previous expedition of the Department of Middle Amercan Research had noted traces of the manners, eustomes and language of the old Mayans. La Farge and Byres found the tribe in Jacaltenango mixed the Christian and Mayan religions in a curious manner. Their govern ment largely is influenced by 400 years' contract with the Spanish but soothsayers still direct activ ities of the community. The soothsayers are consulted by the Indians on all matters per taining, to religion or business. Prayers are held at crosses erect ed at the sources of streams, rocks and other places where lightning is said to live, and in the fields among growing crops. Occasionally turkeys are sacri ficed, and once a year a bull goes into the flames while the In dians pray and send incense hea venward. Religious dances are held on the day of the Christian saint of the village, with the par ticipants masked and costumed. Marriage is considered a busi ness matter and little' sentiment enters into It. A youth gazes upon a comely Mayan maiden and con siders her desirable. If his father consents to the marriage six visits are made to the parents of the eirl. bearing presents of liquors and food.

HUNTING HISTORY BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) The Belgian people believe that Princess Marie Jose, only daugh ter of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth is soon-to marry Prince Umberto of Apulia, nephew of Victor Emmanuel- HI- of Italy.

OBJECT OF UraC!! Moslem Priests. Believe Such Action Violates Religion; Status May Change TASHKENT, Turkestan (AP)- The fight between Communism and Mobammedism is on in ear nest in all vast regions of Rus sian Turkestan. It Includes the autonomous republics of the Tad jiks, the Turcoman and the Uz beks, with an estimated popula tion of 7,000,000. Communists have commenced a campaign . under the banner of "deliverance of -Moslem women from ancient habits and customs." A general attack has been ordered to abolish, the selling and buying of women, the givingin marriage of underaged girls, poygamy, and the keeping of women in strict confinement. Mullahs or Moslem priests have combined against the intrusion of the "unfaithful" and declared as their watchword: "Down with the Soviets, thiey are violating the laws of the Prophet by unveil ing your wives andsbringing upon you the curses of the "Prophet." The Soviet measures consist of building scbkiols and promoting sports, whilej preaching emancipa tion of woman.' It "has succeeded in the unvefjing of many -thousands of, Moslem women, chiefly of the poorer classes. Samarkand, the ancient city of Tamerlane, is the center of the struggle. One day orne may see on the Registan square of the city hundreds of1 women, who, per suaded by fiery speeches of com- munist agitators, haveput aside their veils andj burned them pub licly. Elsewhere groups of mul lahs are addressing a sympathet ic audience with, not less impas sioned, speeches nrging them to hold high the banner, of the Pro phet and not to allow-Mohammad- ism to dacay. :' The greatest -day of triumph for the Bolsheviks was "The day 'of unveiling, when 35,000 Mos lem 'Women are said to have pub licly burned,, their Tells.
