$12o, sos INSURANCE

MISSING LINK
By International News Service


TUSCoN. Ariz., Dec. 1S.-That
the Stirling flying expedition to
Dutch New Guinea win. IL success.
ful, produce the nearest approach
to the so-called ape man ever seen.
q the prediction OF Albert Rebel,
Journalist and traveller, Of this
city, who claims the distinction Of
being q member OF the first ex.
ploring party to establish actual
contact with the strange pygnly
tribes sought by the Stirling group,
which left Chicago In an airplane
October.
Rebel was connected with vari-
Gus exploring expeditions sent to
the Malayan archipelago several
years ago.
Gets Rare Relics
In 1918 he went with a Dutch
sociological survey party to the I'M
he pushed on and entered the ter
ritory of the savage Batak tribes,
who had never before been visited
by civilized man.
He declined substantial cash
consideration from Waseda Univer.
aaty of Japan for his collection Of
relics obtained on this latter trip.
The collection Is now in the Uni.
versity Of Chicago.
It was in 1917, however, that he
made his first contact with the
pygmy tribe in Dutch New GutneR.
As q member of another survey
party, he reached the country, and
pushing on through the swampy
coastal country, repulsed the deadly
attacks OF the Papouas and entered
the jungles in search OF the tribe.
After days of diligent search and
hazard Rebel located the tribe, but
found that they were as shy as
deer, and that it was impossible to
take one OF the strange creatures
back to his homeland. He gained
their friendship by leaving small
trinkets on the hillside az tokens,
and to his surprise. he found that
the weird creatures exchanged gifts
able to get close enough TO them
90 engage them In further commun.
Live IN Nests
He found that they lived in hab-
ltations resembling nests in the
trees, but determined little a. to
their means Of existence. Lacking
supplies to continue his visit or ex.
plorations, he returned to the coast,
bringing with him what trophies
he had secured, in his meager con-
tact with the pygmies.
The pygmies, in Rebels opinion,
are the closest approach to the
s'missing link ever seen by civil.
Ted man. He classifies them az
human apes" and believes that
they are degenerating, rather than
evolving into higher state Of CIV
nization.

THOMPSON IN
MATCH
Local Golfers Have Even
Chances Against Farrell
and Hutchinson

By ROSS L. CONKLIN.

The neutrality-suspicious. golf
combination OF Roland Mackenzie
and Dave Thompson, which will
play against Johnny Farrell and
Jock Hutchinson at the Washington
Golf and Country Club Sunday, has
more than an even chance to win
the days affairs. That II, II the
two local stars can maintain the
even temper Of their ways.
Fred D. Paxton, chairman Of the
golf committee of the Washington
Club, believes that he IL staging a
rare treat for Washington golfers
in bringing the Hutch and Johnny
here. They are two Of the out
standing golfers of the professional
world, and since both have been
wintering in Florida along with
movie actresses and industrial kings,
they are in good form.
But, to get back to the assertion
that Roland and Dave have more
than even chances. The Hutch and
Johnny will be coming from the
warmer chimes to what may be
chilly weather. That will hurt
their form. In addition, both have
played almost necessarily for the
past few months, and it may be
that one or both may be a trifle
stale.
On the other side, both Roland
and Thompson are used to the
weather they will encounter Sunday.
Thompson knows every blade Of
grass in the course, and Roland has
played over the course many times.
Last spring he won the invitation
tournament Of the club.
Washington is a sporty course.
Misplaced drives are apt to cost
painfully.
Both the Washington players can
drive far and straight. They will
stick to the fairways while either
of the invading players is very apt
to stick ball out of the course, or
drop one in one OF those alluring
traps.
Eighteen holes of play are SEIZED.
uled for Sunday morning, and after
lunch there will be eighteen more
holes. The club will serve a buff
fet luncheon to guests at a nominal
charge.
