As science sludiej vanished rac
es and their cultures a lot of In
teresttne Information begins to
come to ll?ht esDeciallv in regard
to conservation practices applied
hv these ancient neople that
suited for good or bad to their
cultural development. Perhaps no
(subject In the New world has at
tracted as much attention as the
KUbject of water development by
the Indian tribes ol tne aria soutn
west. Small stone dams built by the
Indians of the state of Chihuanua
Mexico, have attracted a lot of at
tention and has shown the scientific
investigators that the American
Indian in this area before the com
ing of the white man practiced soil
conservation before not alter
ha farmed his land. This is of
course in contrast to tho culture
of white man who first iarmed
his land and then lost large areas
of It because of the lack of knowl
edge of good soil conservation
practices and did not learn his
lesson til! long after much damage
to highly productive soils had been
accomplished.
Robert A. McCabe, professor of
wildlife management of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, recently pre
, sented a paper prepared for scien
tists and scholars attending the
1955 annual meeting of the Wla
eonsln Academy of Sciences, Arts,
und Letters, used this particular
theme.
"This has an Ironic twist," Mc
Cabe writes, "since we come from
a rich enlightened land to the north
where a small group of conserva
tionists are now trying to help an
unwilling country prevent it soil,
and Indirectly its wealth, from
flowing seaward."
It was MeCabe'a thesis that the
dams built by these Chihuahua In
dians were evidently constructed
for the collection of silt upon which
trope could be grown. McCabe
and party of scientists visited
this area some yars ago to collect
vertebrate specimens for the Uni
versity ol Wisconsin and upon this
eollectme; trip they discovered
these rock dams which caused him
to do much speculation about them.
The "trincheras" as they are
Known to the local native popula
tion are located in the canyons
nd in the waahea on mountain
cnesa an the area southwest of
Cokwla Pacheco on the Oavilan
-SjTiX Z. Z,i ruA
"Bvan in till mole and lugged
mesa country, the. check, dams
ever Bruane en almost every
alopa, their m bulls of volcanic
clones, caramny arranged ao as to
fcoM togeNier witnout mortar or
cementing materials.
"We are esed to thinking in
leeme of impounded water wher
ever dame are dlsoussed. The
"trinchera," however, appears to
have been osed as a means of
clawing run-oft during the heavy
rains of late summer, not so
much a water conservation measure
as a means of holding and building
coll behind the check-dams. No
trinchera' that we saw impound
ed water."
The dams were built cn all kinds
of slopes, and were often found in
series, one behind the other. Even
now they retard erosion and col
lect sand and silt, which is otten
covered with thin soil and sod.
"In one instance, on a large
mesa above our camp, I found a
series of four dams," McCabe
fftated. "Behind these dams was
a pear-shaped meadow of about
10-15 acres surrounded by tall yel
low pines."
McCabe reported thnt much evi
dence of prehistoric activity exists
m the area, including the ruins of
large buildings and what must
have been lookout towers and
council rings.
Lumbering operations which were
beginning in 1048. were already de
stroying much of the Chihuahua
wilderness, he snid. The Gavilnn
River "where rainbow trout could
be seen in the bottom of four-foot
pools" was turning into an ugly
brown torrent.

downstream was the result o( a

"What will come alter lumber
ing, alter grazing, to a land that
can afford neither?" was the un
answered question that McCabe
lett to the minds of his audience.
The clash of developing cultures
can only be emphasized In such
observations and perhaps the clash

between the white man's culture
of the Mediterranean and the New
World Indian has been the most
spectacular. Mexico furnishes some
interesting examples, however it is
in the great Andes ana in uie
Peruvian area that we find the
most tragedv of the mailed fist of
the conqueror. No one knows very
much about the ancient civilizations
of the "Amerindians" as the an
cient people are now spoken of.
Even the authorities disagree pas
sionately on innumerable issues.
This results from the fact that the
Amerindian possessed no written
language, and, on top of this, the
Spaniards, in their conquest of the
southern Indian races destroyed
fanatically. When they killed the
Inca leader Atahualpa and his close
associates, they destroyed one of
the last links to the knowledge of
the past and today science is at
tempting to pick up the threads
of the lost cultures of the past
through archeological explorations,
the study of native languages and
the folk-lore of the Indian tribes.

I'll be missing Little Blowhard's

He made for a better atmosphere

In the summer of 1849. For some
time Little Blowhard and I didn't
get along at all. With the intuition
of a cat or dog, he sensed at once
my distrust and fear of new mech

When Frances turned his knobs,
he would begin to purr and puff
out cool breezes. But if I even put
my hand to his grating, he would
snarl and blow .a gasket.
After a couple of seasons,
though, we began to understand

You can find people yet who
don't believe there are such things
as trained fleas and a Ilea circus
So perhaps this yarn about a
troupe of performing clams hasn't
much chance of acceptance farther
inland than Sandy Hook.
Nevertheless I once had a troupe
of performing clams. It wasn't
something you could cart about the
country as a flea circus is trans
ported, because trick clams are
very temperamental creatures.
Though clams are mollusks, 1
imagine you'll let me call them
temperamental creatures: at least
concede that much, and keep an
open mind while I tell you a
strange story about ordinary chow
der clams.
When my children were young
I spent much time on the beach
with them, along the Jersey Coast,
I had more fun than they did.
One day, right at the water's
edge, where tiny ripples of a pond,
calm ocean rolled lazily in and
out over the fine, soft sand, leav
ing It barely damp one moment,
and under an inch of salt water
the next, I came upon my per
forming clams.
There were six of them, all lowly
Quahogs, of the size and number
to make a likely serving, eitner
with or without cocktail sauce. That
was my first thought, about them.
Then I noticed something I never
knew about round, hard clams
something the encyclopedias attri
bute only to soft, mud clams.
They were moving and more or
less in unison. I always thought
hard clams Just got kicked about
by the waves, in fact it never oc
curred to me that there could be
any place that a clam would care
to go but there is.
After they had got halfway there
I yanked them back on the beach
and called the kids. Soon there
was a crowd of youngsters about
and I was giving a lecture on
clams performing clams, dis
appearing clams.
I found that I could control the
activity of the clams according to
where I placed them with respect
to the ebb and flow of the water.
Through this secret I could com
mand certain clams to roll up on
edge and they would. Others, placed
only a few incites away, I could
command to lie still and to the
amazement of the children the or
ders were obeyed.
Then, while the kids played with
four of the clams I placed a child's
beach pail over the other two, did
a bit of magician's hocus-pocus
and had a boy sit on the pall. In
a few minutes I asked him to give
me trie two clams. He lifted the
pall and said, with astonishment,
Mister, they're gone!" Indeed
they were gone but not far;
Just under the sand.
You can't find performing clams
on any beach nor on any day.
Everything has to be just right-
including your inclination to play
with clams. But I found some sev
eral times thereafter.
If the damp sand and the lap
of lazy ripples is just right.
beach - bound hard clam will be
have like a soft clam; open its
shell about an inch and thrust out
its tongue.
Its tongue is what many think
is the best part of the clam; that
solid, muscle part. It protrudes
some distance, bores Into the sand
and slowly the clam will rise until
It stands upright, with its hinge
upward, Its open Jaws downward
and Its tongue in tne sand.
Then slowly It sucks its way Into
the damp, soft sand and disap
pears. Move It a foot from the
right spot and it will lie like a
stone until the tide or waves take
it back to sea.
That's all I know about clams:
'cept that they're mighty good
eatin'.

WASHINGTON ( The United
States treats Red China as a ghost
that casts a shadow. It does not
concede Communist China legally
exists. But it deals with the Red
Chinese.
This country refuses to recognize
the Communists as the lawful
rulers of mainland China although
they have governed its almost 600
million people ever since running
Chiang Kai-shek off the mainland
to Formosa more than five years
ago.
But an American ambassador
and a Red Chinese ambassador are
discussing in Geneva now the re
lease of their nationals from eacn
other's country. They may discuss
more than that.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State
Dulles, who says the Geneva meet-i
ing doesn't imply recognition of
the Red regime, is having an
Intercontinental debate with Chou
En-lai, Red Chinese premier and
foreign minister.
Each le talking directly to the
other but not officially so-r-each
is making public statements in
tended for the other.'s ears to find
out what the other is. willing or
likely to yield.
In the end Dulles- and Chou may
meet too. Since both insist they
want peace in Asia, each would
have to convince the other by con
cessions. One thing the Red Chi
nese want is a seat in the United
Nations. The United States has
blocked that, with help from other
countries.
The United States might no
longer want to block it if Chou
gave sufficient peaceful guaran
tees, including an agreement not
to attack America a ally on For
mosa, . Chiang, who claims to be
the lawful ruler of mainland China.
Once Red China was in the U.N.,
the United States could hardly
continue to withhold recognition.
Yet, H it recognized Red China,
it w o a 1 d be recognizing two
Chinas: one on the mainland, one
on Formosa.
That would in effect mean con

demning Chiang to die of old age
on his island. It would be Ameri
can agreement that Chiang no
longer had any legal claim, to the
mainland. Therefore, he could not
expect American support for an
Invasion,
An invasion by Chiang, which
couldn't be done without full Amer
ican support, is academic anyway.
The Eisenhower administration,
which once talked of unleashing
him, long ago changed its mind
and has him solidly bottled up on
Formosa.
But recognition and a U.N. seat
for Red China won't come over
night. Last week President Elsen
hower said this country's position
on Red China nonrecognition and
opposition to U.N. membership
hasn't changed.
The United Stales has forces in
South Korea, and as long as Amer
ican troops are in the South. Red
China is pretty sure to keep troops
in the North.
Over the weekend a story came
out of the State Department to
this effect: that top U.S. policy
makers are considering withdraw
ing American forces from South
Korea to Japan. Perhaps this was
a hint to the Red Chinese to do the
same and thereby prove their
peaceful intentions and get rid of
tne u.N. tag of aggressor.

such service are listed by the In
stitute as members of the Invest
ment Counsel Assn. of America.
Fifteen have offices in New York,
and one or more are located in
13 other cities. They are distinct
from advisory services, or brokers'
customers' men, or trust depart
niema of banks.
Msny advisers to individuals
won't deal with accounts under
$100,000. Their fees usually range
from ,2 of 1 per cent for handling
a portfolio of that sise to V, of 1
per cent if the portfolio contains
securities valued at six million dol
lars, or more.
Some counselling firms, however
specialize in small accounts. Their
fees usually range from l'i per
cent for a 15,000 portfolio to
per cent for one above $30,000.
The institute ha some general
words of warning. It believes that
"far too many men of inferior cali
ber can, today, find their way into
tills potentially lucrative field with
out training or probing search of
moral character, and with little
public supervision."
It also takes a dou' view of ad
visors who try to serve too many
clients. It says, "adequate super
vision of more than 16 substantial
account or 30 accounts of any
size is impossible. The adviser
who exceeds this number eventual
ly gives Inadequate attention to
all."
The successful counsellor? The
Institute says: "Bis strength lies
in ability resulting partly from
his own inquiring mind to Inter
pret developments before even in
dustry Itself has perceived ttieir
meaning."
And the best way to judge this
ability is by checking the results
of following a counsellor's advice
over the last 10 years, say.
An adviser who "appears to be
lieve that outguessing the market
is his main task" often stumbles,
the iixtitute says, because this ean
lead to overlooking intrinsic merits
of individual Issue. And the Insti
tute says your investment counsel
lor "should have nothing to sell,
either directly or indireqtly, ex
cept his services. Brokerage fees
cover the cost of a different func
tion and should be kept a thing
apart."
Foe the rest, the adviser should
have wide contacts in industry and
the financial world. And, like all
trustworthy business executives,
the adviser must hav all the big
three qualities: industry, integrity
and ability.
