The Survey Site of Historic Battle Scene of Fight Between In dians and French May Be ! Made National Monument. WASHINGTON.—The Smithsonian institution, in co-operation with the national park service, is exploring the site of the French-Indian battle at Ackia, Miss., with view to the possible establishment of a national monument. On that battlefield the French un- der Sieur de Bienville were deci- sively defeated on May 20, 1736, by the Chickasaw Indians, marking an initial turn in the tide against the French in the early stage of their long struggle with the British for control of the Mississippi valley. Henry B. Collins Jr., archeologist, is now making the local survey of a siege of a palisaded Indian town. The Smithsonian institution, dis- cussing the project, said in part: “This three-hour engagement, in which the French colonial troops were handicapped by lack of artil- lery and the Indians were supposed- ly directed by English traders, may have had a significant effect, at the time unappreciated, on the long struggle between the two empires for possession of territory between the Appalachians and the Mississip- pi “The Chickasaws long had been hostile to the French and friendly to the English. Bienville had planned to crush them in a vise be- tween his own troops and a French force under General d’Artaguette which was moving southward from the ‘Illinois territory.’ The latter never arrived and it was later learned it had been cut to pieces by a Chickasaw ambush. The Indians had taken many prisoners and burned them at the stake. Defeat Considered Significant. ‘Henceforth, the unconquered Chickasaw constituted a serious ob- stacle to French progress from their gulf colonies to the northwestward. Otherwise they might have estab- lished a continuous fortified line west of the Appalachians between Can- ada and the gulf which would have been very difficult for the English to penetrate. “After the battle of Ackia the Chickasaws, members of that old Creek confederacy, remained in pos- session of the territory around Tu- pelo for approximately a century. They were one of the most progres- sive of Indian tribes, but were un- able to stand against the southwest- ward expansion of the United States. ‘““While primarily concerned with delimiting the site of Ackia, Collins will also try to locate other spots in the neighborhood significant in Chickasaw history.” Robot Coin Picker Does Work of 20 Men in Bank SYDNEY, N. S. W.—A machine which sorts, counts and tests coins is in use in the head office of a | bank here. The invention of a Sydney engi- neer, the machine takes a mixed lot of silver and copper coins and throws each kind into a separate receptacle, counting them, testing each coin electrically in one-tenth of a second and rejecting all spuri- ous coins. It works at the rate of about $5,000 worth an hour, and on busy days gets through work which would require about 20 men. Whole batteries of the labor- saving machines, invented and in- stalled by the same engineer, are in use in the bank. Six of them count and test about $35,000,000 worth of florins and shillings a year. Another counts pennies and wraps them in neat bundles at the rate of $500 an hour. Queer Power of Girl, 13, Is Related by Witnesses JONESVILLE, LA.—Stories of a girl possessing strange superphysi- cal powers were being told through this Black river countryside. Persons prominent in business and education circles said they have seen Alice Bell Kirby, 13 years old, play a piano without her hands vis. ibly touching the instrument, make a table dance in the air, suspend herself in the air, and move her 700 pound piano with a command. “It wil work for some persons but for others it won't,” Alice ex- plained to those who have gone to her home and have come away un- convinced. She is the seventh daughter of a farmer's family of eight. — Six Months of This Enough; She Sues LONDON.—Suing for divorce b ya new idea. telephone numbers of these hospitals “Ah suah do,” replied Mose. follow: Ba Jo is rye ’bout John ‘de ton® Llomeopatiie Hospital, Johns- “Yassuh, plenty of time.” “But yo‘ nevah is read nothin’ "bout John de Methodist, is yo?” . nn REGULAR SATURDAY COMMUNITY SALE, JANUARY 21st At 1:30 P.
