San Antonio and Santa Fe, practically unused in modern building construction.

"What we now call Spanish mission says Dunne, in reality the first sign of the Renaissance influence in Spain. It is marked by graceful arches, colon-, nadcs and a beautiful simplicity of line. All this is represented in the Plaza. a close application of the principles of this he continued, have been fortunate enough to catch all the charm of the early mission buildings. Particularly is this true of the patio, which may be said to be a pure representation of mission C.

M. Fox, Paramount-Publix chief of decorations and furnishings, all appointments and furnishings used in the decoration of the patio, the theater proper and the many lounges WiU be absolutely in keeping with the mission style. In many cases. Fox declared, an- thentic copies of the original antique furniture of the period will be used. "It is interesting to Fox, "that in the midst of this per- iect reproduction of a 15th or 16th century Spanish mission building, there will be only the most modern electrical equipment used.

I Caves in Eastern Part of State May Aid Science Bf SCIENCE SERVICE WASHINGTON Caves of eastern Texas, inhabited by an ancient people, may help science to explain how the mysterious Mound Builders culture found its way to the Missis- sippi Valley where it flourished in prehistoric times. Matthew W.

Stirling, chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology, just returned from exploring this region which is almost untouched by archaelogists. He reported finding caves bearing traces of human occuimtion and appar- ently well worth investigation by Smithsonian Institution expeditions, i Indians who built fires in the i cave shelters, and left their broken i tools and dinner bones there to be buried in diust and debris were probably similar to the Basket Makers of the early southwest, trial digging revealed. Greatest interest in the.se caves hinges on the fact that they are along the route where the Mound Builders culture presumably advanced if it spread overland from Mexico to the Mississippi valley. Here may be preseiwed some evidence of those ancient happenings. One question to be Stirling explained, is whether there was an actual migration of Aztecs or some other tribe from the south, or whether the Mexican Indiaivs merely passed along by trade contacts their ideas of building high places, and art designs, and other knowledge and customs that they with the Mississippi Valley Mound builders.

Stirling also selected sites in! northeastern Nevada which seem promising for excavation.
