DISCOVER [. A.
FOSSILS 10000
YEARS OF AGE
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 25.-The
scientific ranks of Los Angeles and
vicinity were astir today, thrilled
by the discovery of the bones of
four petrified human skeletons, be
lieved to be anywhere from 10000
to $4,000 years of age.
The momentous scientific find
took place at a 23 feet depth in
exca vations for a local sewer in
the southwest section of the city.
With DR.. Chester Stock, head of
the department of paleontology of
the University of California, in
charge, excavation work proceeded
today, with toilers digging in the
mud and slime of 25 foot pit from
which the traces of an ancient civil
lization are being taken.
Hundreds of bones have been rec
overed already, while the four
skulls, certainly of race long past,
have been added to the collection.
"T would not venture now to
say they may have belonged to the
glacial PERIOD - DIR. Stock said, dis
cussing the find, "but this may be
proven later.
The skulls are net of the ape
man type, DR.. Stock said but rather
have the shape and characteristics
not unlike modern civilization.
of further research finally es-
tablishes the fact that these abort
gines belonged to the ancient gla-
cial period despite their modern
characteristics, it will tend to sub
stantiate theory held by some sci
entists that America was the home
of race well advanced in physi-
cal development long before Euro
pean contemporaries had passed be
yond the primitive stage.

MINISTER TOUCHES ON
 MODERN TENDENCIES
Rev. John l.. Davis Gives His View on Disturbance By High School
 RoyS

The belief of school children today 1 that under modern conditions people can get away with disrespect for the law, was responsible for the incident in the theater which brought i6 high school boys into police court, accord ing to Rev. John l.. Davis in a typical talk to Everyman's Bible class yes- terday morning.. :[.."-
 Rev. Mir. Davis referred to Hart ford's society bootlegger" in which a number of prominent people were exposed in court as customers; he re- ferred to the Teapot Dome oil scan- dal in Washington, to Lady Asquith's escapades in England. and pointed out that they were indications of the spirit of lawlessness among the educated and wealthy.
 Because of the smallpox outbreak the Vulcan Iron Works Sunday plan red for yesterday was cancelled. Many of the class members are suffering from, vaccinations. others have stop ped mingling with crowds, and be- cause of this condition, only PTS men were present, few if any from out of the city.
 Officers of the class have taken a stand as being opposed to suspending sessions as long as theaters and public amusement places are kept open.

BIRTH RATE DROPS
 IN CONNECTICUT
This State Following General
 Trend Throughout Nation
BY GEORGE II. MANNING. tNasliingtou Bureau of N. B. Herald

Washington, D. C., March 31.- '-Births, continue tS decrease while deaths become more numerous in Consecticut no less than in the coun- try at large.
 The tendency toward lower birth late and higher death rate, which las been shown in all the statistics of the past several years, is again evil dent in figures just announced by the bureau of the census for the third quarter Of 1923.
 While the actual number of deaths occurring in Connecticut in the three months of July, August and Septem- Der, was smaller than the number in the same three months of 1922, be- Ing 3,639 against 3,6S9 in the former period, the total for the first nine months of the year was greater, and the crude death rate for the first three quarters of last year was 12.4 per 1000 population, against I2.1 per L. Odo in the first nine months of 1922.
 The adjusted death rate, which makes allowance for the differences in the age and sex composition of the populations in different states, and shows what the death rates would be II all states had the same proportion Of males and females and the same proportion of the total population in each age group, was for the first nine months of last year in Connecticut Ills per 1000, against I1.4 per 1000 in the year 1922. These rates are both lower than those for the United States these heinz l2.3 per 1000 for the first three quarters of last year and 11.S per 1000 for 1922.
 Births in Connecticut numbered S,11o in the third quarter of last year, against s.2o3 in the same three months of 1922. This was at the rate of .i,S per l,0Oo. against 22.5 in July, August and September of the preced- ing yeAr. ? The rate for the first nine months of the year was 2l,s per 1000, as compared with 22.1 in those months of 1922, and 2i.5 for the whole Of that year,
 For all the states compared, the crude death rate for the first nine months Of last year was 1a.6 against ll.s in 1922. On tho adjusted rates, Maryland had the poorest record, with rate of li,9 per 1000, and Montana the best, with S.S<per 1000.
 The highest birth rate for the nine months was shown by North Carolina with 30.2, and the lowest by Montana lT.5.

and Mrs Andrew Johnson, who will give short talks. The Sunday night services will commence at o'clock, and after short sermon by Rev. Mir. pihl, the program Will consist of spe- cial music and singing.
 The Swedish Bethany church was organized on April 4..lSS4, by IS men ard women who banded themselves together and, formed what is now known as the Bethany church. Of the i6 charter members only two are living in New Britain, Mrs. Peter Crona and Mrs. Andrew Johnson, who arc still active in church work,
 The first meetings held by this small group were in the South church chapel, some also being held in the Center church. Tho All Souls church on Court street was later utilized as a meeting place, .
 In 1889 with an increasing mem bcrshlp the congregation purchased the old Methodist church, where it worsbippcd for many years. The still incrSasing membership and the con- stantly increasing noise and din Of Main street made it imperative that a more secluded spot be purchased and a new and more modern church erect cd that would meet the requirements of the church for years to come. The James North property on Franklin Square was acquired about Is years ago and the North homestead was renovated and converted into the present handsomef parsonage. Tho present house Of worship was erected some three yeart ago. The response for building funds was quickly an- swerod by the congregation and by q system inaugurated few years ago. the church building will in few moro years be free from debt.
 This is an answer 10 fhe efforts put forth by the pastor and the building committee. The present church prop erty and parsonage represent a valnc of approximately sf5o,000, which has all been acquired within the last l5 years
 From the f5 charter members has risen the present congregation which numbers over 500 adults. The Sun bny SfHDDt tldN 900 NHliIIfils ana 1IiH Y. P. s. can boast Of 150 members. while the Bethany Sisters society has over ls0 members. Tn the Bethany church are also two active and pros porous sick benefit societies which cater 10 the sick members of the con gregation. Since its organization the Bethany church has had only three pastors, Rev. J. N. Ahnstrom being the first and serving for three years. Tn 1881 Rev. n. c. Hicrpe was called 10 the church and served for 12 years during which time the church pros pered and gained much of that strength which is characteristic fea- ture Of the present membership. Rev. G. F.. pihl was called to Now Britain in June. 1901. and has served inc congregation for nearly g years Rev. Mir. pihi has received many flat- tcring offers from larger fields but has been content to remain here.
 The cIufch can number many loyal and faithful workers who have ia-. bored for years. August Fredrrickson serypd as Sunday school supcrintnu- dent for 30 years and recently retired. Charles W Swanson was for 2s years choir leader and orzanisi serving most of this time at tho old church which was locatrd at the corner of Main and Walnut streets
