Says Eden Covered
Sahara and Arabia

London March 20.-The Garden
of Eden originally spread over
the Sahara and the vast deserts
of Arabia and the area stretching
TO Mongolia, Prof. Sir Arthur
Leith asserted on "The Races Of
the Sudan" at the Royal Institu-
tion. Man, he said was driven
from Eden, not by flaming
sword but by the flaming sun.
That territory, he added, vas
the cradle of mankind and every
type OF modern human being could
once be found around this Garden
of Eden. Human beings existed
there, however. long before the
days of Abraham. according to the
professor, for civilized man is far
older than is generally believed.
1T was in the great deserts of
Sahara and Arabia that Egypt
and Babylonia were evolved" said
Sir Arthur. at must be rca-
lied that Egypt and Babylonia
were only remnants of vast civ
ilization."

BUILDING NEW FLYING
FIELD FOR THE NAVY
1By United Press)

Philadelphia, March 20.-One of
the finest naval experimental fly
ing fields in the country is now
under construction on a track
near the Philadelphia navy yard.
The field will be about $500
feet long and 1,5OO feet wide. ac-
cording to Admiral F. R. Har-
rison, in charge of the work.
When the project was first be-
gun it was planned only to pre-
pare a thirty acre field, which
would have been in readiness this
spring, but the original plan was
extended until the field will en-
brace 11G acres.
Much of the increased acreage
will be obtained by filling in the
back of the eastern part of the
yard. Material taken from the
channel used by boats will be
used for filing in the eastern end.
Dredging machines are now en-
gagged in the work. The new field
will be completed by the spring
of 1924.

Pretty Women Make
The Best Dry Agents
lRy Uyi.ed Pressl

Denver, Colo, Mar.h 20-lt
taxes the women to get EN-
even the bootleggers, according
to F.. H. McClenahan' federal pro-
hibition director of this district.
McClenahan has announced he
wants some real vamp on his
staff of dry sleuths and as a re-
suit, Colorado girls are expected
to "doll up" and cal! at his office
According to the dry chief
women can't be beaten for ob-
taining evidence of dry law viola
tons. They can find out things
that would BATTLE a man.
Every federal prohibition force
in the country should have some
women agents, McClenahan
claims. Not old women, nor yet
too young, but about % or 30
years old with "brains as well as
looks"
Girls who know how to 'wear
clothes. you know" is the way
"Big Mac" puts it.
He doesn't agree with Mrs. An
nette Abbott Adams of San Fran
cisco. former assistant attorney
general of the United States,
who recently said that "hard boil
ed" men could effectively admin
lister the national prohibition law
Such men are all right to take
part in raid, but the woman's
intuition is what is needed to OBJ
tain the evidence, MeClenahan
holds.
deliberately young pretty,
smart, good dressers and full of
pep" are the requisites of the
woman dry sleuth, he maintains.
Me Clenahan relates an in
stance of where young woman
who applied to him for a job and
finally got it. posed as FLAP
per" on several wild parties
and turned in evidence on several
persons that male members of
the staff had failed to get.
The director has written to
Washington for permission to use
women as dry agents-and also
for the necessary appropriation
to pay them.

East Tristan Women
Noted For Long Life

Hanover, March 20.-The record
for community longevity is claim
ed by East Friesland, in the north
western part of Hanover, a pro-
vince bordering on Holland and
the North Sea. Within the last
fortnight three women, each more
than 100 years old, have died ther1
and a fourth, Frau Bruhn, has
entertained her friends at her
102d birthday party. This ven
cradle dame is the widow Of a
fisherman. She herself baked the
birthday cake in Il little house
where she dwells alone, and tends
all by herself.
Curiously enough, it is the wo-
men who attain extraordinary
old age among the East Frisians.
The men are hardy, too, but al
most without exception they are
fishermen, and so either perish at
sea or succumb to the hardships
of their lot late in middle age.

No Fun in Juryings
In Old Shenandoah

Woodstock, March 20.-Notwith
standing any rulings of supreme
or other courts, whether actual
or implied, Shenandoah county
jurors will not be allowed 10
drink the evidence in liquor cases.
This was the clearly defined
position of the Circuit Court here
yesterday, when the attorney for
the defense passed the alleged j.
quor. evidence in the ,Shrup al
legged liquor case, to the jury with
the request that the jurors taste
it, One Juror got a sYig before
Judge Whiting placed ban on
the treat, and the other good mer
and true were compelled to con-
tent themselves with a smell from
the outIawed juices.
When the court was reminded
of ruling of higher courts, al
lowing sampling of evidence, the
Judge very promptly said, swell,
there will be no drinking IN this
court"
The sample permitted for smell
ing and testing was strong enough
to carry a fifty-dollar fine and a
thirty day Jail sentence.
