ROME, September 7.-One of the
most picturesque of the many cere-
monies Rome has seen during the
1925 holy year took place yesterday
when Catholic Boy Scouts from
dozen nations of America. Europe
and Asia were received by the Pope.
Dressed in their bare-knee uni
forms. and with banners and pen
nants flying, the youthful pilgrims
paraded through the streets. singing
their rollicking campfire songs.
In the procession were English
youths. killed Scots, boys of Arabia
and Palestine in shell, headGresses,
and others from France, Spain, Por-
tugal, Belgium. Switzerland, Malta,
Denmark. Poland. Hungary. Luxem-
bourg, and from Sicily, Sardinia and
other parts of Italy. the United
States. Ireland, Australia. Czecho-
slovakia. Holland and Syria. wearing
every conceivable sort of Scout uni
form. Accompanying them were
priests in their more somber garb.
Assembled under the nave of St
Peters, the boys gave to the place
spirit of bubbling youth. but they
relapsed into quietness as the Pom
tiff entered and assembled a specially
constructed altar to celebrate a spe-
cial mass. Later the boys passed
in review before the Pope. Then they
filed into the inner court of the
Vatican, where they heard the Pores
address of welcome, in which he
praised the Boy Scouts as the hope of
the church and society
After his address His Holiness i'm
parted the apostolic blessing to the
Scouts.

cording to the evidence of the newly
discovered stone age skull found near
Capernaum in Galilee. Discussing the
find before the meeting here of the
British Association for the Adva
ment of Science, Sir Arthur Keith
characterized the man to whom the
skull had once belonged as a 25-year-
old representative of new race of
the Neandertahal type. differing from
the European Neanderthal skulls pre-
viously known in being relatively high
and narrow. This Neanderthaler of
ancient Palestine had brain showing
the development of the higher facul-
ties, including probably even speech
it has long been considered doubtful
whether men of the Neanderthal ages
we're really capable of articulate
speech, though they were undoubtedly
human beings.
Implements and animal remains
found with the skull show that 1t
corresponds to the MouSterian era of
the old stone age in Europe, estimated
at from 200 to $4,000 years ago.
Three healed wounds indicate triphin-
ing, or possibly some mysterious dis
ease.
The British scientists also had their
attention called to the problem of the
emotionally abnormal child. Prof.
Cyril Burt declared that about one
tenth of all school children are emo
tionally unstable, and that one per
cent are actually menaces to them
selves and the public. We all have

Cost of Laying Sea Cables.
ON the Popular Mechanics MaEazine.

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine
With the successful laying of the
second Atlantic cable in 1866. the pio-
neer work of submarine telegra phv
ceased, for sufficient experience had
been gained by that time to insure a
fair prospect of success in all further
undertakings.
The cost of an ocean cable depends
upon the type, for some contain but
one conducting wire. such as the At.
lantic type, while others have 4. {. 1S.
or as many as % cores. The latter
usually cross rivers and harbors.
To take an average of types the cost
may be said to work out at about
$4,000 mile, more than seven times
the cost of land line, and for repair,
ing about $3.50 a mile.
Many cables have earned colossal
sums of money. The old Malta Alex.
andria cable made SIS 900 during the
first week of opening so years ago
The Persian Gulf cable made $500 900
in FIVE years. Returns depend a great
deal upon the life of a cable. Some
buried in sand and slime carry on un-
disturbed for an astonishing number
of years, while others, by reason of
their restless beds on q rocky bottom,
quickly need repair.

IF the sons Of France had not

there may have been no republic of
France today, he declared.

those who were killed in the Shenan-
doah disaster.
We of America have a peculiar
love for France" Bishop Freema n
said. We may never forget the aid
that country rendered to us in the
Revolution, the personal friendship of
Washington and Lafayette. Nor can
we forget the two and a quarter mil
lion men whom we sent to France in
her hour of distress.
1T is a dangerous business to let
well enough alone" he added. II
won't do 1t, in the church or out of
it. We cannot think and act as our
fathers did. Just because conditions
were good enough for them it does
not follow that those same condi.
tions will satisfy us. Jesus was dis
satisfied. When I cease TO be dis.
satisfied with conditions both in and
out of the church l will be dead"
The service was held at the re-
quest of the Lafayette day national
committee, composed of prominent
Americans. and the French national
colors flew from staff with the

Protecting the Indians.
From the Indian Truth.

Hereafter "plucking' the wealthy
Usage Indians will not be as easy as
in the past. The recent Congress en-
acted a law for the protection of these
Indians, containing some drastic pro-
visions, and limits the amount that
can be turned over to guardian n
to 81 900 per quarter.
In future no one can inherit prop
erty of the Usage Indians except per
sons of Indian blood. During the last
year 135 white heirs were paid $780,
900 in inheritances. Had this law
been in effect several years ago it is
probable that number of Osages
would be living today, for there is
good reason to believe that some were
murdered in cold blood that their
property might descend to white heirs.

NEED OF SUbWAYS
IN FUTURE IS SEEN
Will Be Necessary to Garry
Million Predicted in Years
to Come, Says Hanna.

If Washington reaches an ultimate
population OF million people in years
to come. as predicted by the engi-
neering firm of Mcclellan & Junkers-
field, the city probably will need sub
way or some other form of rapid tran
sit, in the opinion of John H. Hanna,
vice president of the Capital Traction
Company.
Asked today for his views on the
future Washington as visioned by the
engineers. Mr.. Hanna voiced the be-
lief that when such a population is
gathered here there will probably
have to be some form of rapid service
in addition to the present surface
facilities. Mr.. Hanna was inclined
to believe, however. that il would be
A good many years before Washing
ton shows A population of million.
The time when new methods of trans
portation will have to be considered,
therefore. is rather indefinite.
Million Population Expected.
Commissioner Rudolph. president Of
the Board of Commissioners. had not
yet studied the first report Of the
transportation engineers. but he stated
today that ne saw no reason why
Washington would not ultimately
reach the million mark.
MI I6Cdll6Q Ind1 Years
ago. when Commissioner Judson was
in office, there was some considerat ton
given to the question of when Wash
ington would need subway transporta-
ton.
Maj. ". E. R Covell, assistant en-
gineer commissioner in charge of pub
lie utility work, today commended the
engineers for the thoroughness with
which the survey was made and eX-
pressed appreciation for the co-opera-
ton afforded the experts by Govern
generally in furnishing necessary
data.
Population Area Factor.
Commenting on the estimated popu-
lation goal, Maj. Covell was not so
sure that subways would follow but
he added that whether they did or
not would depend largely on the area
covered by the ultimate population.
The second section of the engineers
report will be made public Wednes-
day and other sections will follow dur
ing the next fortnight until all the
great mass of facts that have been
gathered by Mcclellan & Junkersfeld
have been given to the public.
The survey was undertaken last
sary in determining how the city's
transportation facilities might be inn
proved and TO throw light Oh the ques

Hear Report on Dry Law
Consequences.

: Completion Of A report on the social

Education Of the Federal Council Of
Churches. Conclusions Of the report
were withheld, pending it's publication
next week, but the study was de-
scribed as review OF vital sta tistics
crime trends. living conditions and
related subjects, as affected by pro-
hihition.
The moral and political aspects. as
we'll as the economic and industrial
phases of the question, will be treated
in the report. which was prepared by
Rev. F. Ernest Johnson. head Of the
department. Thirty thousand words
make up the document.
Cites Numerous Contradictions.
I'VE undertook this study" Mr..
Johnson said, because the air is so
hlled with contradictory assertions
relative to the results of prohibition
that this momentous issue seems in
danger of being decided on the basis
of partisanship and prejudice, rather
than of intelligence.
Our report is not the result of an
investigation in the ordinary sense
Of the term. The informtion was
gathered from a variety of sources
and the findings of many agencies
have been drawn upon. We have
avoided being controlled by precon-
ceptions. The report has no relation
whatever to the policy of the Federal
Council of Churches or to its official
attitude toward prohibition.
Claims and Counter Claims.

with evaluating the claims and coun-
ter-claims of those who are undertak-
ing TO convince the public that pro-

have uncovered facts and trends
Nhich no one concerned over the pro
