The discussion as to the antiquity
of man in North America before the
American Anthropological association
revolved around human remains and
other objects recently found at Vero,
Fla. DIR. Ales Hrdlicka, curator Of an
thropology at the United States Ma
tional Museum, Washington, d. c.,
placed the age at 125,000 years, but
DR.. o. r. Hay of the Carnegie Institu-
tion of Washington contended that the
evidence showed men lived here no
less than 100000 years back. He took
part in the excavation of the find and
said among the remnants of animals
found were bones of a ground slcth as
big as an elephant.

cent and saving 1876 men, was told
by Charles L. Close. manager of the

"one can tell what his patient will do
next" There also was shown a magic

(By Associated Press.)

Omaha, Dec. 29-The Omaha alum
nj of the University of Nebraska. it is
said, are about to start a vigorous
agitation in favor of Nebraskas
breaking away from the Missouri VAL
ley conference, and, failing to find a
place in the Western conference, max
ing it's own athletic engagements, as
is done by Michigan, Notre Dame and
other schools prominent in athletics.
The immediate cause of the action
by the Omaha alumni is said
to be the refusal of the Missouri VAL
ley conference to sanction the playing
of one or more of Nebraskas big
games in Omaha. A meeting of the
Omaha alumni is to be held shortly at
which arrangements will be made to
take up the plan with the manage
ment Of the university.
