This pioneer j of the' North Pa-
tic was born in Devonshire, Eng
land, in 1S17, and came to the
I hited States when nineteen years
age. Three years later he was
Peoria, Illinois, at which place
listened to a lecture on Oregon
Reverend Jason; Lee, and was
one of the party organised to cross
e plains which left early In the
tring of 1839, reaching the Wil
lamette after fourteen months' of
travel, toil,- hardship and priva
tion. Many of the incidents of bis
trip are mentioned in the bio
graphical sketch- of Francisl
Fletcher- in this book, he being
one of the party of four that re
mained together during the entire

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.
The recent business crisis and
unemployment In factory centers
have discouraged the peasantry in
trying to makw,careeTotide
farming life. The Polish peasant
feeli that an owaer of a little
farm Is a rasster of himself and

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

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. :'

for the Bolsheviks was "The day

Criss-Crossing of Cracky
On China Subject Of

WASHINGTON, (AP) That
distressing disposition of kitchen
crockery to ; reduce Its originally
glazed surface to a web-work ofj
criss crossing ' i cracks has beea
brought under the scientific at
tack of the Bureau of Standards
This china glaze cracking, or
dinarily referred to as "crazing'
It has been determined, is caused
by the unequal response, made to
temperature changes by the sur
face and the underlying china
body. Both; glaze and body ex
pand with teat and contract with,,
cold,' but do go at unequal rates'
Obviously the way around tha
difficulty would be to use glaze
and body ' materials which havoj
substantially identical response t
change in temperature, and tha
first efforts of the hnreau work
ers nave centered on the task pfj
defining such substances.
To begin with it was necessary,
to know, exactly how much glaze
materials expand and- contract
with temperature changes. Since
the glaze I about seven one- thou
sands of an Inch in thickness, and
Its expansion when ; heated Is a
small fraction of that, the prebleui
was difficult. . V ,r- v, " '
. Nevertheless, it has been solved,
and the bureau Instruments now
are measuring the" changes ia
thickness induced in glaze by tem
perature variations. Nomechani
