j REMAINS OF LOWER
ORDER OF MAN FOUND
ALBANY, Ore., Sept. 21. (/p)—
Parts of human remains in volcanic
sand or ash, which put together
give semblance of one of the lower
orders of man, have been located by
J. G. Crawford, geologist.
He believes these may reveal val
uable information about prehistoric
people iu this region.
The sand was much finer than or
dinary sand and was not water
worn, having sharp, knife-like edges
and the skull was buried in several
| feet of this. Crawford believes the
remains to be those of a man who
lived from 10,000 to 25,000 years
ago.
Crawford has made several other
valuable scientific finds dealing with
early peoples of thePacific North
west. Recently he uncovered on a
i stone overhanging cliff over the
Sartiam river hieroglyphics which
are considered of great importance.

PYRAMIDS USED AS GAUGE.
The pyramids and the sphynx
were more important as timepieces
than as tombs, declare some scien
tists. Originally, it is maintained,
the sphynx sat far below the level
of the desert said. By sighting
across the asp on the head of the
sphynx and the use of a notched
stick to get the angle, the season
of th eyear could be told, from the
relation of the stick to the sun. The
science was so accurate that the ex
act day of the year could be told.

TO LITERAL
An elderly lady, unmarried, was
being entertained for the first time
at a supper club.
The jazz orchestra was blaring,
and, wishing to appear pleased by
her surroundings, she said, “Isn’t
this delightful? What is it they are
playing?”
A waiter bent toward her and said
something in a low tone. Instantly
there -was an angry shriek and the
woman gave him a resounding whack.
To her friend’s horrified inquiry, she
wailed:
“The miserable wretch insulted me.
He said, ‘Let Me Be the First to Kiss
You Good Morning and the Lise to
Kiss You Good Night’.”
BRITISH AIR MINISTRY TO
PUT METAL CAP ON DIRIGIBLE
zLONDON, Sept. 22 (£>)—'The air
ministry has decided to have the dir
igible R-33, which broke from her
mast last April equipped with a me
tal nosecap. This cap will take the
place of the fabric which has hitherto
covered the nose of the airship and
will assist in taking the strain during
flying and while moored to a mast.
After a thorough investigation into
the damage caused’^by the break-away
it was found necessary to dismantle
the entire forward part of the ship,
and 60 feet has been rebuilt involv
ing the construction of 2000 feet of
duralumin lattice girders.
ALASKAN ESKIMOS BECOME
SUCCESSFUL FOX FARMERS
NOME, Alaska, Sept. 21. (#>)— Frank
DuFresne, in charge of the Seward
Peninsula for the United States Bio
logical Survey, reports that Eskimos
are taking a full part in developing
the farming of foxes and the mar
keting of their pelts into a bounte
ous Alaska industry.
The south side of the peninsula is
on Bering Sea and the north on the
Arctic Ocean. On the north coast
line white men destroyed the Eski
mo livelihood by annihilating the
whales and burning the driftwood.
The Eskimos have taken to white
foxes, and some families are making
incomes of $2,000 annually. From
catching wild foxes and selling the
furs, the natives have gone on to de
veloping simple ranches.
The women do most of the work—
it’s the aboriginal way—but, Du
Fresne pointed out, families threat
ened with extinction are beginning
to thrive, though father sits around
the cabin that has replaced the igloo.
