POTTERY SHOWS
OLD INDIAN ART;
New Official
WASHINGTON (UP) Window M.
Walker, formerly of the bureau of
American ethnology, haa reported to
the Smithsonian 1 Institution that
beautiful Incised and engraved Indian
pottery of Louisiana, Arkansaa and
Texaa was made by the tribes first
encountered by white men In this
region.
In a burial site near Natchitoches,
Ia., Walker found earthenware bot
tles and bowls of this type associated
with such objects as glass beads and
scissors, which undoubtedly were of
European manufacture.
This burial site can be traced his
torically to a branch of the Caddo
tribe. Thus, Walker points out, "the
chronological data offer a clue which
should assist considerably In the in
terpretation of many of the archeol
oglcal remains In northwestern Louis
iana, southern Arkansas and north
eastern Texas."
. A skeleton of an old woman was
recovered from the ancient grave
yard. It la a notable illustration of
the extreme head distortion prac
ticed by the southeastern Indiana on
their children. The head was flatten
ed both at the front and rear until,
fax the words of one early explorer,
"it was pointed and almost of the
shape of a miter."
This distortion was accomplished
by pressing the head of a child In
clay between two boards every night
until It liad assumed the desired
shape, which the aboriginals consid
ered an attribute of beauty. Appar
ently the practice did little perman
ent damage.

TO TRY SUCCESS
OF UTOPIA PLAN
MONTREAL (UP) Several score
unemployed men and their families,
tired of waiting for "better times"
and Jobs, are planning to forsake
modern civilization and live like
early Canadians lived.
Uniting under an onrsnlfsation
known as the Canadian Prosperity
League, the men will establish a small
settlement on the outskirts of the
city next spring and will attempt
to re-establish themselves on a self
malntalnlng basis. They will build
their own homes, grow their own
food, raise cattle, make their own
clothes and govern themselves.
The league la organized along the
same lines as the Llano Corporation
in Louisiana and will be a combin
ation of agricultural and commercial
esterprlse. It Is heidd by E. A. Sackl.
who receives unemployment relief
from the city.
Sackl said he hopes to persuade
city authorities to allow the league
to solicit funds to buy lumber and
other equipment necessary to estab
lish the vlllaee.
SOVIET CHANGES
LITERARY STAND;
MOSCOW. (UP) A new turn In
the Soviet official atltude toward lit
erature, away from purely pro pagan -dlstlo
works glorifying communism,
and back to the Russian classical au
thors. Is strikingly apparent these
days. This trend has been under way
for several years, but of late It la
much more pronounced.
With official encouragement Soviet
literary circle recently commemorat
ed the 25th anniversary of Leo Tol
stoy's death. A nation-wide tribute
ta Alexander Pushkin la being plan
ned for his centenary, January 37,
1937.
Commissar of War Klementl Voro
sbilov will head the commission of
high government officials appointed
by the All-Unlon central executive
committee to popularize among both
adult workers and school children the
writ lings of "Russia's Shakespeare"
as Pushkin has been called.
Pushkin hardly ranks as a revolu
tionary author, although he was
sympathetic with the "Decabrlsts"
who, In 1825, atempted a futile revo
lution against Tsarist power. But
the adulation he Is now receiving
from the bolsheviks Is based not so
much on his political beliefs aa on a
desire to honor a Russian man of
letters who wrote some of the great
est poema and plays In their na
tional literature,
The commemoration of Pushkin's
death will be on a national scale.
The Leningrad Union of Archi
tects hss appointed a commission to
restore many of the spots connected
with Pushkin's life in the village of
Mlkhallovsk. nearby. The grove on
tha bank of the Black Rivulet where
the poet lost his life In a duel Is to
be restored and a email summer house
In the style of Pushkin's period will
be built hard by it.
The State Muslo Publishing house
plana to Issue several songs, to which
poems by Pushkin will be adapted,
to be sung by school children.
Michael Bulgakov, one of the moat
talented Soviet playwrights, la at
work on a play about Pushkin. The
poet himself will not be one of the
characters, as Bulgakov explains that
"the writer la not born who could
convey the genius of Pushkin." Bus
his presence will be felt through
characters who were his intimates.
