Indiana’ Vaa of Met ala The bureau of American ethnology says that Indian* arid Raklums were not skilled in the working of metal previous to the corning of the white*, although copper had come iulo use in the Great laikes region However, the copper Implements were made h> ham mering the soft metal. Ivory and tame were used by the kSskinma. and there have been a few occurrences of meteoric Iron being worked to a iim ired degree. The ludian* used stone hone and shell implements extensively Metal wnrking in copper and bronze was quite highly developed among Hie Indians of Central America and north ern South America before tlte arrival of the whites. New Mesopotamia Id the northern turn of Argentina touching the borders of Brazil, Para guay and Uruguay, is found a country whose physical condition is strikingly similar to that of Meso{iotatnia. earli esf cradle of civilization. It is hor dered by two rivers, the Parana and the Uruguay, corresponding to the Asian Tigris and Euphrates Formed l»etween them is a fertile valley as vet little developed, says the l»epart UK-nt of Commerce, hut capable of supporting a large population. Its cli mate. too. is much like that of an cient Babylonia for if is just about as far south of die equator us the latter country is north. Self-Education Ignorance is no sin, hut to remalu In ignorance aDd not to strive for the aquisition of knowledge is sin. The most important and most vital lessons of life may be learned without a col lege education. l.ove and kindness and unselfishness and gentleness need not tie learned in colleges. They are within reach of all who desire to at tain them. Men and women of energy and character should not tie dismayed by their lack of education. They can educate themselves. The hard arid rugged facts and truths of life will be the objects of their pursuit.—True Ex periences Magazine. Mazamet Wools Mazamet is a small towu in south ern France, where the principal busi ness la the pulling and scouring of skin wools; that is, wools imported on the skins. These skins may be from Australia, South Africa o» elsewhere. Therefore, there is no such thing as Mazamet wool entering Into direct competition with our domestic prod uct. Wools pulled and scoured in that town are known in the trade as Maza met wools, but that has little signifi cance, as such wools are actually classed as Australian, or what-not. when they come to he resold.

MISTAKE EGYPTIAN AMBASSADOR FOR NEGRO IN VIRGINIA Winchester, Va.—Diplomatic com plications were averted recently when officials of the Shenandoah apple blossom festival and delegation of leading business and professional men called upon Mahmud Sammy, Egyp tian minister to the United States, a specially invited guest, and expressed sincere regret over an incident during the coronation of Miss Mary Wise Boxley, of Roanoke, Va., as festival queen. It had escaped notice, it was said, until his excellency’s reported resentment had reached the ears of the committee. Those who called upon the diplo mat in his suite at the George Wash ington hotel, declined to make any statement, but it was learned that th« minister was occupying a position ir front of the Handley High school building, directly in the path of the queen as she was about to descenc from the esplanade for coronation by Governor Byrd, and that a Winches ter woman, member of the committee ’ on arrangements, had requested hire to stand to one side, as it had beer arranged for the entire space to be kept clear for the queen and hei court. It was said M. Sammy did ae requested but resented the incident As soon as festival officials heard of the affair, they proceeded at once to the diplomat’s suite and offered apologies and explanations. Later in the evening the Egyptian minister ap peared in the lounge of the hotel and also attended the apple blossom festi val, being greeted with applause wherever he went. He was accom panied here by motor by Dr. Brad ford of Washington, and his secre tary, Mr. Mourse.

ZION BISHOP (Continued from Page 1) was elected secretary of foreign mis sions in May. 1920, at the geneAl conference in Knoxville, Tenn. Pre vious to that time, Dr. Matthews serv ed a term of four years as pastor and presiding elder on the Pacific coast. With the election of bishops out of the way, the delegates attending the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which was in session here, turned their at tention to outlining of a program which would serve as an impetus to the progress of the church. Of special importance was the de cision to grant laymen equal repre sentation in the general conference. This ruling was recived with much en thusiasm, and ends a fight which has been going on for some time. Lay men, contending that they support pastors, presiding elders and bishops, have sought equal representation for a number of years. The result this year is expected to aid materially in the advancement of the great denom ination. At the same time it was decided to abolish all ex-officio membership in the body so that in the future bishops will have no vote in the general con ference except when presiding. The last rule was somewhat of a surprise, but was accepted graciously. Approve Muiure The plan for organic union was approved and if suitable arrange ments can be made and carried out the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church will be merg ed, making perhaps the strongest and most influential organization among Negroes in the world. The plan re ceived the unanimous endorsement of the body and the action was reported to the general conference of the Afri can Methodist Episcopal Church by wire. Recommendations of the committee on church extension and home mis sions were adopted, which provided for an increase in appropriations for this work, and for special supervision and more careful scrutiny of the op erations of the department. All of the reports submitted have indicated clearly the rapid and sub stantial growth of the African Meth odist Episcopal Zion Church. In prac tically every field, of mission and re ligious work, the denomination is making great strides forward. Pro gressive men are at the helm and the old ship is moving forward. Bishop Jacobs is a brother of Mrs. J. H. HuUen, the accomplished wife of Omaha’s well-known and highly esteemed physician. New Orleas, La.— (ANP) — The First Baptist association, comprising the parishes of Oreans, Plaquemine, St. Bernard and Jefferson has 15,000 communicants and owns the Widows' Faith Home in the upper section of the city, valued at $66,000.
