SCIENTISTS ME SEEKING
Having established to their own i
satisfaction that man existed 600,000 ;
years ago, scientists will now attempt |
to trace his origin back another mil- |
lion years.
Led by Roy Chapman Andrews, who
returned from Asia a year ago with a |
nest of 26 dinosaur eggs ten million j
years old, another expedition sailed
from the United States in June for
China. Thence the party will proceed
into the heart of the Gobi desert, in
Mongolia, where it is hoped, a five
year search will reveal further amaz
ing secrets concerning the early life
of man, beast and reptile
As in the previous expedition the
scientists will rely on American-built
motor cars and trucks for transpojta

tion although roads are unknown in
most of the vast territory to be explor
ed: Mr. Andrews recently visited the
Dodge Brothers factoi’y in Detroit,
where five cars were being equipped
for the expedition. Mr. Andrews ex
pressed great satisfaction with the
new equipment and repeated that he
attributed a great share of the suc
cess of his last memorable expedition
to the remarkable endurance of Dodge
Brother’s cars. These made it possible
to accomplish a 30-year task in three
years. In view of this experience it
was only natural that he should again
insist upon Dodge cars for his next
expedition.
Fifteen scientists representing over
twelve branches of learning, chosen
from 4,000 applicants constitute the
party.
While scientists differ in the subject
especially since the discovery of the
600,000 year old Foxhill man in Eng
land, Mr. Andrews is of the belief that
man evolved in Asia and that it will
be in the younger rocks of Mongolia
if anywhere ,that traces of his first
activities will be found. He is strongly
supported in this theory by such an
eminent scientist as Henry Fairfield
Osborne who was referred to by Wil
liam J .Bryan, as “a tall professor who
comes down out of the trees to push
good people who believe in God off the
sidewalk.”
In their quest the scientists will
push further west than they have ever
gone before, working both to the north
and the south of the Altai mountains.
As a beginning of exploration will be
made about 1,000 miles from the near
est base, Kalgan, it will be necessary
to organize with especial care. Ar
rangements have been made for 200
camels to carry provisions ahead of
the motor trucks.
