COURT HOLDS PHYSICAL
 PROPERTIES OF CONCERN
 MUST BE SOLD As UNIT

SAN FRANISO, ar. 21-All proper ty owned by the defunct Scandinavian American bank of Tacoma, Wash, will be sold as a unit, it has been decided by the United States circuit court of appeals in affirming the judgment of the federal court of Washington.
 This construction has been contest ed by the McClinton Marshall com pany of Seattle, which brought suit to advance as a prior lien the $70,000 mortgage it held on two lots in the business district of Tacoma on which the bank had started to build six teen story building at the time of it's failure. The building remained un- completed and the company sought to have the two lots sold separately so that the mortgage claim might be li- quidated The federal court, however held that the banks physical proper ties must be sold as a unit, for the benefit of the creditors at a price o1 not less than $300,000.
 Under the ruling as upheld in the higher court, the plaintiff will not be able to assert prior lien.
 John P. Duke, Washington super visor of banking has put in a bid o- s125,3 for the two lots for the bene fit of depositors and other creditors but the courts declared this offer in sufficient.

Here's a picture with a cast of only six players. It is The Valley of Si lent Men," a Cosmopolitan creation released by Paramount and coming to the Liberty Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Of the players, Alma Rubens is not only featured but is the only woman in the cast. The five men in her support are Lew Cody, Joe King, George Nash, Mario Majer- oni, and J. w. Johnston. The picture, adapted from James Oliver Curwood's thrilling story of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police and tells of a mans noble sacrifice, and how it almost wrecked three lives before fate took a curious twist and righted matters again.

are fossil apes approaching closely
to human characteristics. The ear
lest known actual men have been
found in Europe, but nothing earlier
than the Heidelberg man, who already
was far advanced from the ape type.
The skeletal remains of Europe have
barely been touched. however. The
most serious objection to considering
Europe the birthplace of tho race,
DR.. Hrdlicka said. lies In the climate.
During the time that man must have
been developing out Of an ape type

There may have been more than
one attempt on the part of nature
TO produce man, DR.. Hrdlicka said,
only one Of which succeeded. The
Java man may have persisted in the
attempt, while the Piltdown race
may have succeeded in surviving.
The actual line Of demarkation
from the human precursor, q crea-
ture far removed from tho ape and
yet far below modern man. probably
lies In the coming of self-conseious-
ness. with its accompanying individ-

TO UP[|FT MUSIC.
Carl EngeI Tells Audience
! Practice improves Pro-

"The Future of Music In Washing.
ton" was the subject of a talk by
Carl Engel. eminent composer and
critic, who is now head of the music
division of the Library of Congress
before the, members Of the Friday
Morning Music Club yesterday.
America is undoubtedly the great
est music-loving nation in the world
said Mr.. Engel. but. st is not the
most musical. There Is a great diff
ference between being music-loving
and being musical. Abroad people do
not go just to hear virtuosi, as is the
tendency in this country. They go 10
hear the compositions, and IL they
do not like the way thev are pre-
scented they hiss them 1t is perhaps
TO be lamented that Washington au-
diences are SO polite--they have not
learned to hiss. Those in Washing
ton, such as your organization. who
know what are the fine things in
music can do SO much to make the
visiting artists give Washington their
best In programs, and not the lol-
lipops that are so easy to perform.
There was a time when an aspiring
musician had to go to Boston and
lave a hearing first by Philip Hale,
the famous critic there. If city is
willing to let one man decide what
IT likes in music, all right. Some.
body should decide.
New York has its great critics,
Boston and Philadelphia have theirs.
In Washington there is younger
generation that is showing much
promise and in a few years will be
fully competent. However, such or
ganizations a. your club can do much
with constructive criticism to set the
finest music in Washington. Look
over the prospective programs and
have word in what is brought here.
Don't say, How do you dare to bring
Washington that cheap, easy music?
Instead, say, choosing the finest thing
on the program, We are SO glad to
have something as fine as this once in
q while 1t is a method that can be
used to advantage in smaller concerts
and in the church music. too. I'm
sure nobody would thank you more
than the ministers for cooperation In
getting more variety on church pro.
grams.
I'm looking over programs publish

week, I found Massenet's "Elegy"

the day after. but that Is hardly
compliment to ones Thanksgiving
cook or ones doctor. a club such
as yours has splendid opportunity to

I hope you will do it,"

included the piano works. Godow-
