...Honduras. Dr. Thomas W. F. Gann of the British Museum investigated engraved Mayan monoliths that furnished an accurate check on the calendar archaeologists have worked out for Mayan history. In Guatemala, Dr. Manuel Gamio of Mexico dug into highland strata, discovered archaic pottery and sculptures clearly pre-Mayan to support the theory that the Mayas' ancestors lived in the hills, whence earthquakes drove them to lower levels and firmer architecture...

The Chief Executive, perhaps annoyed by the fiascos of his followers in North Dakota, Illinois, Oregon, Iowa, perhaps unwilling to court a possible strike-out in his native state, evidently refused to support his cousin. . . . Mr. Stickney made an announcement. He had not felt well lately. In the fall, he would...
