...Kolomoki Mounds State Park in southwestern Georgia gets its name from several Indian mounds, relics of a forgotten people who lived 600 years ago. One of them, recently excavated by Dr. William H. Sears of the University of Georgia, is called "Mound D" by archeologists. What the Indians called it may never be known, but the tale of its building must have scared many generations of prehistoric children.

Last summer Dr. Lehmann's workers attacked a shapeless mound near one of the larger buildings. Back in Manhattan last week, Archaeologist Lehmann described the results. Under the rubble they found a well-preserved stucco floor which had been painted red and later green. This, they decided, was the storehouse for votive gifts.

If anybody gets a single, the informant is accused of jinxing the pitcher. Not only sports figures, but many other top news personalities (such as politicians, businessmen and generals) are engaged in highly competitive enterprises. They may, like Thomas Dewey, two weeks after an October 1944 cover, get knocked out of the box. They may, like Marshal Stalin after eight different...
