Two bok of 200 years ago. bound In

In a vain effort to determine their
origin.

and langu&gcs that have traces of
Latin, but the (-Urography bin the

of Philadelphia gave it up. SavanU
and sages of other literary societies
failed In their efforts to elucidate the
strange language. The books were
Anally referred to the United States
Bureau of Ethnology. Prof. Cyrus
Thomas withdrew the veil.
"It Is the Cakchlquelehe language,"
said Mr. Thomas, spoken by the In
dians of Guatemala. "One of the books
was on Bible history and the other a
collection of Lenten sermons, written
in the sixteenth century by the mis
sionary priest. Father Domingo Vlco,
who spent many years among the In
dians. It Is believed that when the
Spanish Fathers undertook to trans
late religious works Into the Chachl
quelche tongue they found the Latin
alphabet Inadequate to express the cu
rious accents of the Indians, and they
supplied the letters."

crime and prison influences. A similar
work Is going on in many cities ot
the country. The San Francisco Juven

under the legislative act of that year,
through the untiring efforts of the
California Club, the Associated Char

other large-hearted organizations and
Individuals. The original law of 1903
laid the foundation for the legal mach

1905 perfected and put Into operation.
This law provided, among other things.
for an advisory committee, wnicn ap

and establishes the proper connecting
link between the Judge and probation
officers and the general pulillc.

to see him as a growing thing respond

criminal born, fixed and destined to
wreck. Already, even, axe men looking
toward the employment of its methods
in dealing with adult offenders."
