The discovery of the first man, or
missing link" on the island of Java. is
due to the work of Professor Henry
Fairfield Osborn, president of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, and
holder of the National Institute OF Social
Sciences gold medal for archaeological
Research.
The name of the Java man. in the
language of science, is Pithecanthropus
erectus. He was four feet and a half
tall. and he walked erect. using his hands

PIthecantnropus today is badly cor
roded hone or two, from which compara-
tive anatomists have reconstructed his
appearance in life. There is a thigh bone.
whose shape shows the Java man stood
upright. II is a matter of deduction that
he had free use of his hands and arms.
One of the most perplexing problems
Professor Osborn was called on to deal
with was whether an ape. which existed
in Europe during the Miocene and
PlioCene eraS, was the true apP the miss

evidence supporting the theory that he

which might have been either fashioned
by hand or chipped by natural forces.
These fiints We're denominated coliths TO
distinguish them from paleoliths.
Professor Osborn comedies that the
eoliths may be either natural or arti-
fetal. He admits that lit is probable
that the ancestors of early man DOS

that the Miocene and Pliocpnc primate
OF Europe, Driopithecus, might be an

in New Orleans can be done in all other
towns and cities and efforts in this direc-
tion will be started in the spring.
Hay fever is a distinctly preventable
disease, and DR.. Scheppegrell believes
that in a few years cases will become
rare. The length of time will depend on
the degree to which localities are infected
with the hay-fever-producing weeds and
the energy of the people in destroying
them.
In some of the smaller towns. especial
ly those catering to summer visitors. this
will probably be accomplished before next
summer. The statement that a town is
free of hay fever will prove an advertise
ment that will easily repay the cost of
destroying the hay-fever-producing
weeds.

man eliminated Friday in the arrest
OF Renzie c. Dickens. son of William
ii. Dickens. the wealthy Longmont
banker and merchant assassinated
last tuesday night, on charge OF be-
ing his fathers slayer Dickens was
taken into custody at the close of his
fathers funeral as a result of evil
dence gathered by the authorities and
which District Attorney Fleming an
nounced would be the basis of formal
charges of murder against Dickens.
Dickens maintains he Is innocent
but refuses to discuss the charges
against him. The purchase of a
high-powered gun in Denver by the ac-
cused man furnished basis for the
collection of evidence against Dickens
which the police characterize as lin
eliminating" The gun was purchas sed
month ago from Denver hardware
company Payment was made with
part, cash and check on a Longmont
bank. The purchaser later obtained
"silencer" and this information fol-
lowing the staying of the Longmont
banker was given by a clerk of the
store to Patrolman E. l.. McKinnon.
McKinnon In turn informed the police
department and search for the gun
aud silencer was made about Renzie
Dickens home.
Various parts were located in his
garage, together with a box of cart
ridges, five shells of which were found
missing. When first questioned, the
son of the murdered man, according
to the police, denied having ever
possessed high-powered gun. When
confronted with the parts picked up
by the police he admitted he had pur-
chased the gun, the authorities say.
The stock of the gun was found with
the box OF cartridges behind trunk
in the rear Of Renzie's home, the
silencer on the top of rafter in his
garage. The barrel of the gun was
found in barn a block away
Asked II he had fired the weapon,

range between $35, 900 and $4,000 and
4 motive for the shooting of the elder
Dickens is claimed by the police in
the hopes OF inheriting his wealth at
an early date.
That 1t was the intention of the
slayer to kill the elder Dickens and
his wife with one shot, is the belief
Of the police.
The bullet was fired, it was found,
from point where the aged banker
and his wife were in a straight line
Evidence to support the theory is
further strengthened. say the police
by the fact that Mrs. Dickens, who
was seated across the table at which
her husband was shot through the
back, was grazed by the bullet.
