SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION
HUNT FOR MISSING LINK

NEW YORK, Feb. 22s-(A. PA
group Of scientists left here today on a
mission that will keep them in the vast
untrodden areas Of Asia for five years
When they return TO America, they
hope to have evidence that the miss
ing link" between man and beast
actually existed. Also they expect TO
bring back thousands Of animal and
botanical specimens to FIJI the propos'
cd Hall OF Aslatic Life Ia New York.
Roy Chapman Andrews, leader OF
two former scientific parties into
China, will head the new groups, to be
known as the Third Asiaetic Expedi-
fion OF the American Museum sss

nancially are more than a score of New
Yorks wealthiest men and women, the
museum and other organizations. The
Iarty will sail from San Francisco on
March 10.
Joined in Asia by scores Of native
guides. huntsmen, cooks and helpers,
the scientists expect to introduce Ann
orican automobiles, moving picture
cameras and other modern machines
on the Cobb Desert. Central Asian
rlateaus, Tlbetian steppes and other
little known lands.
Gasoline trucks will constitute mo-
bile bases for various branches Of thi
oxpedition-auaeont archaeo-
log;sts and anthropologists - while
speedier cars are used in eXplo'
rations and hunting. Dr, Andrews has
found mile-an- hour too slow to
keep up with frightened antelopes In
Central Asia, and is taking speedier
racer to use in hunting these milea-
minute runners
The first base of the party will be
Established in Mongolia where tht
scientists expect to remain twenty
four months before penetrating West
orn China. After the vanguard has
spent year in Mongolia, a second
group of scientists will leave New York
to. join them.
Northern and Central Asia will be
thoroughly gone over in study OF the
origin and migration Of man, to prove
or disprove the popular scientific be-
| lief that Asia was the center of dis
persal of the human race as well al

Local Dealer Tells
How to Take Care
of Batteryin Winter

Winter storage for your battery Is
= vastly different problem from mere
" storing your car for the winter
Your battery is an electric-chemical
combination. and must have special
attention, according to Mr. L. r. Ern-
shaw local manager Of the local vesta
station.
: There are two methods of battery
storage. wet and dry. states Mr.. Err
shaw. In wet storage the battery Is
left Just the way il is taken out Of
the car. It must be kept at a safe
temperature. watered and charged at
least once month and otherwise kept
under competent supervision Chemi-
cal action takes place during h win
tar months. and the life of h bat
terry Is naturally somewhat shortened
: Dry storage is a far better method.
The separations are taken u Of the
battery and the plates r stored dry.
All chemical action is suspended. SO
that tho battery does not deteriorate
during the winter. When it is reas.
.sembied in the spring. new separators
r used, which makes this method
.zlightIy more expensive. but the add.
ed life given to tho battery makes It
cheaper in tho long run.

With n defeat chaiked against

FIRST fall and the result was that Joe

pion. and considered equally as good
as his flustrious brother. Pesek's de-
cisive victory is shown by the result
two falls In less than an hours wres-
Ting.
OF interest to local fans, Pesek's
recent decision over Ad Santei. the
coast wrestling phenom. Is conclusive
OF his wrestling ability.
Recently asked for a frank opinion
on the present day wrestlers. Joe
Stechcr. former champion. said that
Pesek was the most dangerous man
in tho ring. He explained this by
saying that Pesek's vicious rushing
tactics and his ability to keep going
at top speed for long periods Of time
combined with his strength and
science made him almost impossible
TO beat.
1t is interesting to know also that
Jack Taylor's stringent training SEES
sion in preparation for this match
has brought him down to a lighter
weight than he a reached In wres.
Ting matches here. From indica-
lions at this time Taylor will enter
the Monday night match weighing
around 215 pounds. while Pesek. also
light from training. will go In at eos
pounds.
The remarkable Pesek physique is
one OF the marveIs OF the wrestling
world. While other men have been
training to develop speed and other
~porquisites Of the game. Pesek has
concentrated on developing what Is
known as the bridge. That means
supporting himself when in danger of
being pinned by lifting his shoulders
and body from the mat by bracing
himself on his feet and head. The
success Of his effort is shown by the
fact that he has the record OF bridg-
ing thus and being able to support
the weight Of nine men.
Jack Taylor in a statement last
night following his last heavy work
out. ays that he is in the best of SON
dition and all that he can say is that
he viii do his best to defeat Pesek.
