UNNAMED PORTIAr STYMIES JUSTICE
Six Young MiscreantS, Shln- gIed For Occasion, Avoid
 Spanking As Result

LODI, N. J., Nov. 4.-some anony- nous Portia In trousers stymied jus tice here Saturday and six more or capped the pain of humiliation of a public spanking. The boys had been convicted of rowdyism on the streets in a Halloween celebration and sen- tenced by Judge William F. Scheller to be whacked with vigor and right eous indignation upon the time-hon- ored zone for such rites,
 Saturday was the day set for the execution of the courts sentence and the six boys reported for their pun ishment. It was said that each had taken the pains while dressing for the occasion to fortify himself with certain armor. Shingles and extra pants were considered de rigeur.
 The court square was the site of the spectacle and long before the spanking hour the place was filled with people and movie camera men training their lenses on the scene:
 Then some unknown defender of the six condemned boys, sought out Judge Scheller and whispered in his ears:
 Spank If you must, but do not commit assault"
 T never thought of that" said the court. Then he proceeded to the center of the crowd and announced: T suspend the sentence on these de- 1 fendants. If I spanked them I would be guilty of assault"
 The crowd drifted away. The cameras were dismantled. And six boys, who had been huddling to- 1 gether in communion of misery and trepidation, went to their various homes to unshingle themselves.

DESIGNATION OF ROADS COMPLETE
Selection Of 185,0OO Miles Of Federal Aid Highways
 Is Approved

WASHINGTON. Nov 4.-(By As- sociated Press.)-DesignatIo of all roads in the Federal-aid highway system, comprising about 1S5,00O miles, practically has been com pleted and approved by the bureau Of per cent of the roads of the nation for future systematic inn provement is declared by the. gov ernment's road officials to have been the largest and most important task assigned to the bureau. Many con- ferences have been held with high way officials representing adjacent states in the process of correlating the roads of the primary, or inter- state. highways and many difficult situations haves sbeen adjusted.
 The last of the tentative maps showing the systems proposed by the several states has been received by the government and the work of pre- pairing map of the federa1-aid hlghway system of the country Is well under way. The federal high way act requires that the bureau of public roads shall issue by Novem- Der this year map showing the progress in designating the federal aid system and that maps shall be issued thereafter from time to time showing the progress of selection, construction and reconstruction.
 The first map of the system will probably be in two sections, one of the eastern half, the other of the western half of the United States. These maps will be six feet long and four feet wide and will show the pri- mary, or interstate, and secondary. or intercounty, highways selected. In the production of the map every pos sible use was made of other map producing agencies of the govern ment to reduce to minimum the requirements in the way of original drafting.

SKULL POINTS ID NE w ACE OF MAN
Santa Barbara Find Is Proba- bly, Eight Thousand
 Years Old

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Nov. 4.- Homo Barbarensis-the Santa Bar bara man-lived in an era long after the Neanderthal and Heidelberg man and not in either the Paleolithic or neolithic ages, according to scientists who Hooked to Santa Barbara today to investigate the discovery of J. P. Harrington, a Smithsonian institute worker, who announced recently the finding of a prehistoric skull on the site of Burton Mound in this city.
 Among the geologists and archac- ologists who inspected the finds to- day were Dr. Robert T. Hill, re- tired geologist of the Smithsonian Institutions; pr. W. s. Kew, of the United States geological survey Dr. A. $. Stark, professor of verterbrae paleontology of the University of California, and Ralph Arnold, Los Angeles scientist.
 Close examination of the hard crust beneath which the skulls were found by the visiting scientists, these men asserted, brought out signs of great age, probably from 5000 to 5000 years.
 signs of charcoal which would tend to show that the shell like substance was once the floor of an Indian kitchen and not a deposit made by the ocean, according to previous theories. Dr. Hill and pr. Arnold both said.
 The scientists agreed that the skulls belonged to type not hither- to known to anthropologist and that they would form a new link in the history of the American Indian from the time of the first arrival of Asiatic on the North American con tinent.

MONTEVALLO PLEASED
Announcement Of Aldrich Mine Re-
 opening Causes Qualification

MONTEVALDO, Ala, Nov. A. Special. )-There Is much satisfac- tion in Montevallo over the an- nouncement that the coal mine at Aldrich will, in few days, be re- opened.

These miners have, of course, been restless for work in order that they might support their families. Their conduct during the whole time has been excellent.
 The coal at Aldrich is considered to be the best grade coal in the whole country. Citizens of this com munity have made no contracts for getting coal elsewhere, and as win ter was coming on they were be- coming much disturbed about get ting their supply.
