Manila, Dec. 17.—(A. P.) —Re­
sults of the first year of systematic
archaeological research In the Phil­
ippine Islands now are being classi­
fied by Carl IK. Guthe, a scientist
sent out by the University fo Michi­
gan. at bls Island homo In Cebu. The
discoveries, whldh Include Chinese as
well as native Philippine relics, date
back In some Instances as much as
2.300 years, scientists believe, and
are expected to clarify, many points
In insular history which have been
beclouded by doubt.
During the last 12 months the
■dentist explored caves and ancient
burial places on three Islands—®o-
hol, Samar and Cebu, Besides vari­
ous native skulls and artifacts, he
found in them specimens of Chinese
arts and handicrafts of the Tang,
Bung and Ming dynasties which
scientists believe coroborate previous
suppositions that for many hundreds
of years the Philippines were visited
by a succession of IChlneso traders
whose Influence affected the social
customs and probably the religion of
the natives.
The period of this Influence Is es­
timated at 1,000 years, the Tang dy­
nasty having flourished in the sev­
enth century and the Ming continu­
ing until the middle of the seven­
teenth. Thore are evidences that
Chinese civilization during this time
several times flowed back, only to
advance again.
Three types of skulls were found
by -Doctor Guthe. The oldest and
most primitive was associated with
stone implements only. Some of
these implements were polished axes
and adsos shaped apparently for
working down timbers for boats or
ships. Skulls of a second type wore
found in association with specimens
of a characteristic unglazed native
pottery. Those of the third type,
apparently much later, were found
In burial places enriched with glazed
Chinese pottery, bronze and Iron Im­
plements and Jewelry of various
designs, mostly of Indian or Java-
nese origin. These skulls were ar-
tlficially deformed, with flat tened.

—(I. N. 8.)—You can’t use
the American flag as I a blanket

ham, anyway.
John Morald and his dog
"Boots,” hiking from Boston
to New Orleans, spent a night in
Jail when they passed through
here recently,
all because
"Boots" had the Stars and
Stripes wrapped about him to
keep out the cpld.
Arthur Greenwood, comman­
der of the American Legion
post happened to see the two
and warned Morald to remove
the flag from the dog's back
because it was Improperly dis­
played. Morald Refused and was
arrested.
After a night in Jail, how­
ever, Morald apologized before
Judge Abernathy and was al­
lowed to proceed on his jour-
new with the promise not to
use the flag in that manner
again.

There will be no forum luncheons
of the Chamber of Commerce during
the holiday season. This announce­
ment was made at noon today,
the next meeting being set for Jan­
uary 7. At today's luncheon. A. L.
Bixby, columnist for the Nebraska
State Journal, at Lincoln, Nebr.,
gave one of the most interesting
talks of the season. Mr. Bixby, who
is visiting his brother at Jackson­
ville, told of the different phases of
his work, the greater part of his talk
being in a humorous vein.
Mr. Bixby has been columnist for
the Journal for the past 31 years,
having started his column when
there were but six in the country.
Now there are over 200, every metro­
politan newspaper having its special
column writer.
Some interesting
sidelights of his work were given and
the chamber members were kept
laughing most of the time.
With
him were Mrs. Bixby and his broth­
er, R. A. Bixby.

Oberlmders, those armed irregulars

rush the border as duly advertised.
Five years of a republic, even
though years of vicissitude and un­
certainty, have permitted the mem­
ory of the Empire's splendor to fade;
the mass of the people are becoming
either used to or educated in repub­
lican principles, and the workmen’s
organizations have established them­
selves strongly. The forces of time
and events work against a restora­
tion, and the open royalists are
'broadly confined to the aristocracy,
the old bureaucracy who fed idly on
the Empire, and the Church.
Above all it the money factor,
Austria lives precariously on foreign
loans while she strives to rebuild
her industries and become self-sup­
porting, and such a situation leaves
no room for the luxury of a king
and court and its appanages. Her
thinking men of all classes constant­
ly preach the gospel of work, of at­
tending to domestic business, and
leaving the broil of central European
polities and involvements strictly
alone.
