MANS FIRST DWELLING PLACE
Scientists Claim That the Desert of
Cobb Must for Natural Reasons
Be the Spot.

The desert of Cobb, which is the
summit of the central steppe in Asia,
is the most elevated region on the
globe, and ii is here, scientists claim,
man first lived, arguing that this point
of earth must have been the first to
emerge from the universal sea and
that as the subsiding waters gradually
gave up lower regions of earth to
man he was able to descend and
spread himself progressively over new
acquisitions.
1t Is from this region that the great
rivers of Asia also take their rise
and flow toward the four cardinal
points. On the declivities of these
highlands are the plains of Tibet,
lower than the frozen regions of Cobb.
Here are found not only the vine, the
olive, rice, the legumina, and other
plants on which man has depended
for sustenance, but also those animals
which he has tanned and led with him
over the earth, as the OK, the horse,
the ass, the sheep, the goat, the camel.
the hog, the dog, and even the rein
deer, run wild upon these mountains
On the mountains of Cashmire, in
Tibet and in the north Of China, grain
has been found to be growing wild for
years without ever being sown or
titled, and here also wild animals that
have lived there while man has tanned

LEGION LOBBYISTS BUSY.
Four Bills Being Drafted and Dis
cussed by Committee.

BY Associated Press.
Des Moines Dec. S.--Four bills re-
lating, or of particular interest, to
ex-service men in Iowa, are being
discussed and drafted by Casper
Schenk. Rex Fowler and Raymond
McConologue, the three members o;
the legislative committee of the state
organization of the American Legion
appointed recently by Commander
McNider.
What is considered the most i'm
portant of these is that dealing with
soldiers honus-or deferred compen-
sation. as II is called. A canvass Of
the candidates for the Thirty-ninth
General Assembly. taken under tho
supervision of the Iowa American
Legion before the November cleo
ton, shows now that more than

that an Iowa ex-service man shall re-
ccive n bonus. the amount to be
SlS for every month he served in the
war ffom-these dates are tentative
MAY 1911 to August, 1919. The
theory of the committee is that every
man who wanted to could have been
out of the service by the latter date

Another bill under discussion is
that concerning exemption and pre-
terment for ex-service men The
American Legion desires to secure for
the veterans of the world war advan-
tageS similar to those enjoyed BY
veterans of the civil and Spanish
American wars. Such ADVANTAGES in
ciuded exemption from certain taxes

other things being equal"-in the
granting of government positions.
A third bill. and one in which it is
SAID the Iowa eS-service men are
particularly interested. is that reiat-
ing to boxing. The Iowa American
Legion wants boxing legalized in this
state. Members of the legion's legis-
lative committee express the opinion
that this may be brought about by
the establishment of a boxing com
mission.
The fourth bill being drafted by
the legislative committee is, one
which will make it m1sdemeanor
FOR any man not a member of the
American Legion to wear the legion

posed as measure for protection to
the legion insignia.
