ANCIENT MAN
SOUGHTN
MISSOURI

6T. LOUIS. Down deep into
- the bowels Of the earth,
scientists Of six institutions
will delve for the next ten years
in a research survey of Missouri
to uncover data about prehistoric
man believed to have roamed the
wild prairies of the State cen
turtles ago.
The research party will explore
the mounds, old Indian trails,
quarries and village sites which
the cloak of time has covered for
iAnumerable years.
Records now in the possession
of various societies show some
valuable information about the
race which inhabited the State
long ago, but the survey is ex-
pected to unearth many rare
specimens of their handiwork and
more complete information about
their habits and modes of living.
Local scientists who are doing
the field work are offering their
services gratis and even provid-
ing part of the fund by which the
extensive survey may be made
possible. The first actual work
has been started at Crescent, in
st. Louis county.
At the instance Of the Carnegie
Foundation, the ST. Louis Anthro-
biological Society formed the or
ganization which is known as the
Missouri Archaeological Survey.
The foundation is cooperating to
the extent of providing informa:
ton to aid the workers in finding
sites to explore. and the Missouri
Historical Society will turn over its
records to the archaeologists TO
further the undertaking.
Washington University, ST.
Louis University, the Missouri
Historical Society, st. Louis Acad-
envy of Sciences, ST. Louis Anthro-
biological Society and the st. Louis
branch of the American Archaeo-
logical Society have banded to-
gether in financing the survey.
DIR. Robert J. Terry, professor Of
anatomy at Washington Univer-
sity, is chairman of the survey
organization.

iamlly, is reported to be coming
INTO the market. 1t was kept in
the Cumberland royal villa at
Penzlg' just outside Vienna, until
the death of the old king Of
hanover, in 1878. Afterwards it
was removed to the Cumberland
country seat at GmUnden.
Inc collection includes priceless
specimens of the work of the first

between 1850 and 1850. The only

PRICES OF BRICK
NOT ADVANCING WITH
OTHER MATERIALS
Manufacturers Not Raising
Rates Because of Large
Volume of Building:

The prices Of common brick gen.
orally throughout the United States
today are lower than they were a
year ago today despite the fact that
practically every other building ma
terial has advanced in price, accord
ing to report received by local
brick dealer.
If there is a reaction from the
present high volume of building, the
blame cannot be placed upon the
brick manufacturer for only two
plants in the United States report
a small advance since last month.
Throughout the construction field
there is an apprehension that the
high price of some materials and of
oil labor may result in stacking the
pace of building during the last half
of the year.
The demand for every type of
building material is heavy and this
applies with full force to clay products
generally, the report says. Reports
from 102 manufacturers, representing
every brick producing center in the
United States, show that there is a
marked increase in orders on the
books with a slight falling off of
stocks on hand of common brick.
Only two plants report an advance
in price since last month, bringing
the maximum today to 500. These
are at Massachusetts, points. There
has been an equalizing of prices in
other districts so that the composite
price at this date is practically the,
same as last month, and that was
not out of line with prices prevailing
throughout the last half of 1922.
The prices of common brick general
ly throughout the United States to-
day are lower than they were a year
ago today, which shows that the
brick manufacturers are not attempt
ing to take advantage of the strong
demand and arc setting an. example
that, if followed by all other ma
terials, would do much to maintain
a high volume Of construction
throughout 1923. The stabilized
prices of brick emphasizes stronger
than ever before the economy of
using thfs permanent material. Under
present scales there is practically no
difference in the first cost of brick,
and the less enduring, materials.
the manufacturers of the Common
Brick Manufacturers Association this
month and the volume of orders on
the books is the largest for more than
o year. Due to weather conditions
and March that has been unusually
cold, fully one-third of the plants in
the Northern part of the country are
still closed. There is only one sec
ton in the country that still lags be-
hind in the parade, and that is the
strong agricultural section just west
of the Mississippi, where the volume
of building is light. Out, of the 102
manufacturers reporting only one in
dicates that the outlook is "poor"
and one other that it is "bad." All
the others are in the stair" and
good" column. Manufacturing costs
are increasing slightly and there is
