S::y--. ?
From China came recently to the American Red Cross an official letter
of thanks for relief sent to the famine sufferers. It is six feet square and of
red silk. Translated, the inscription In the center reads: "You have sup
plied a multitude of our people with provisions;" on the right: "To the
Chinese and foreign relief associations;" on the left: "Respectfully presented
by Vushi, representing the municipal bureau of the city for the relief of
famine sufferers of the Mengchen district."
MAYOR AS A LIFEBOATMAN "
e
Councillor R. T. Thornton of East- a
bourne, England, is not only mayor of b
his city but also is an active member a
of the local lifeboat crew. That crew t
has been very busy saving lives of c
late, one of their recent exploits be- y
ing the rescue of twenty-one of the c
passengers and crew of the P. and O.
liner Oceans at Beachy Head.
WERE MAYAS BABYLONIANS?
The towers and pyramids built by
the Mayas, the ancient civilized in
habitants of Mexico, who flourished
before the Aztecs, are the greatest
wonders of antiquity in America.
An interesting theory, now strong
ly held by scientists and scholars of
the Smithsonian Institution, is that
the Mayas are descended from the an
cient people of Babylon who were dis
persed over the face of the earth aft
er the capture of that famous city by
Cqrus.
