RED CAP USHERS
RAILWAY DEPOT
ASSIST WOMEN
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 30. (/P)—In
the “red cap” that chivalry, which
spurred to the rescue of maids im
periled, seems born again.
The ushers in the union station
here have handed in practical, but
nevertheless chivalrous, vigilance to
frustrate those persons who some
times prey upon unwary young wo
men. They have a more than local
reputation. Parents of girls who are
going for a journey, sometimes com
mend them by letter to the ushers’
protection.
“Twice,” said one, “red cap,” “I
have taken young women away from
disreputable women with whom they
had struck up an acquaintanceship
on trains. I am sure they would
have been the victims of these women
otherwise.”
He believed that others of the 130
ushers had had similar opportunities
for good service.
The “red caps” are alert to danger
signals. They note the puzzled em
barrassment of a girl when a man,
with whom they have become ac
quainted on a train, insists on show
ing them where to go in a strange
city. They are quick to size up wo
men who insist on taking girls home
with them. They are just as quick
to interfere.
“We are instructed first thing to
ask for their tickets,” said the “red
cap.” “Then we know wihat train
they must be sure to catch and where
they come from. The station master
makes it warm for any usher who
fails to meet young women travelers.”
The “red caps” have undertaken
much of the work on their own re
sponsibility. They don’t have to do
it.

ANCIENT LORE
REVEALED IN
CENTRAL ASIA
CHICAGO, Dec. 30. (/P)—Further
proof that Central Asia was the cra
dle of the human race and the dis
covery of additional links in the evo
lution of mammals out of reptiles are
among the principal results of the
third Asiatic expedition of the Roy
Chapman Andrews party of the Am
erican Museum of National History.
Implements of a stone age race ear
lier than those of the primitive hu
mans discovered in Europe, were
found in the Gobi desert. No bones
of primitive humans were found this
year, but “it is certain that in some
localities they must have been pre
served and that eventually they will
be found,” said Mr. Andrews.
"We have determined,” Mr. An
drews continued, “that Mongolia is
the oldest continuously dry land in
the world. It has been a continuous
ly dry continent since the late pale
ozoic times, probably for 20 million
years. We have determined that in
Paleozoic times a great seaway ex
tended through the Central Asian pla
teau from the Caspian sea to the Pa
cific Ocean. The Central Asian pla
teau was never invaded by an ice
sheet similar to that of Europe and
America.
“We have determined that in Mon
golia there were successive wet and
dry stages with an everincreasing
aridity. For the last 50,000 years,
the drying up has been rapid.
“The theory that Central Asia was
the point of origin for much of the
reptilian and mammalian life of the
world has been greatly strengthened.
We have discovered in Mongolia the
existence of several great groups of
mammals whiah previously were
known only from America or Europe.
“The feet and part of the legs of
the giant Baluchitherium, the largest
discovered. Some three million
land mammal that ever lived, were
years ago, this great beast had sunk
in quicksand and was fossilized in
an upright position.
“For the first time archeology add
ed to our investigations. We dis
covered in the Gobi desert two Old
Stone Are human cultures. A late
paleolithic culture, corresponding
somewhat to the Azilian of Europe
