PRINCESS MARY.
 GOING T0 CASTLE
Will Occupy Famous Scotch
 Estate in Autumn

Aberdeen, June 5 (AP) - News that Abergeldie castle is to be loaned" to Princess Mary and Wis count LaScelles next autumn has created a favorable Impression in Scotland. there being much disap- pointment last year because of the absence of the princess from the Deesde gatherings. Abergeldie. close 10 BaImoral. sits like a toy castle among the peaks and glens of the Dee country and has numerous memories of the late King Edward who frequently stayed there when he was Prince of Wales. Abergeldie castle, in fact. has been so linked with various members of the royal family who have spent much time there during the last 80 years or so that many persons regard 1t as being a royal residence, although. as d matter of fact, it is not.
 Aborgeldie actually is rented from the Gordon estate. the owners, by the royal family. It was largely due 10 an earlier generation of the Ger dons that Queen Victoria first went to Balmoral, this dear Paradise" she cNled it. and turned that part of the highlands into Royal Dee- side"
 It is quite likely also that the Duke and Duchess of York will spend a part of the fall at Abergel- die and visit King George and Queen Mary at Balmoral during the shooting season. It Is understood that 1t is very probable that the duke and duchess will have their own permanent home in Scotland this year or next. "

Kansas City, Mo. c5 R}-- The story or the Basket Makers. a race believed to have lived in the United States some 5000 years before the Christian era, is told by Dr. E. B. Renaud, professor of anthropology of the University Of Denver.
 Jn paper prepared for the meet ing of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which meets here December 2S, January ;, D. Rcnaud says this ancient peo- pie, harriod by an implacable foe, were forced 10 take refuge in is- lands, rocky coasts, deserts and very cold climates.
 Archaeology, he says, recognizes two main cultures in the Southwest, the older, that of the so-caled Bas. ket Makers, and the more recent, that of the Pueblo Cliff Dwelers, The Cliff Dwellcrs. he explains, de- formed their skulls in the rear. The Basket Makers did not.
 Prehistoric remains of the Basket Makers have been found either along marginal zones (coasts or islands) or in places Of refuge Gslands. rocky coasts, deserts or very cold climate).

FOSSILIzED SCALE OF
 FISH IS DISCOVERED
Interesting Scientific Find Dug Up in St. Albans,
 Vermont

New York, Dec. 26 Pt-A fossiliz- cd fish scale, scarcely larger than match head, discovered at St. AL bans, Vermont, is forcing scientists to extend estimates of pre-human life backwards millions of years, the New York Times says today.
 "Howclls Dawn Fish" is the name that has been given to this doni2en of the Camhrian age in which it had heretofore been supposed was peo- pied only by invertebrates and plants of low order. And although there is no information on which 10 base description but this fish plate" as it is called, scientists say it is high " important because it proves that chordata--or primitive vertebrac - existed in what had been considered a "backhoncless age" 50,00o,000 to one hundred million years ago at the dawn of life in its lowest forms.
 Prof. R. F. Howell of the depart ment of geology at Princeton uni versity, the disCovcrer of the plate, said that it corresponds 10 the scale of the present species of fish. It was described as being part of the armor which probably defended the head and forctrunk of some hitherto un- known fish. It is said it may throw light on the origin of the fish as a genus.
 The plate Is now in the Princeton museum Of paloontology. Professor Howell and Prof. Charles Schuchert of the department Of geology at Yale found it last summer on the final day of field expedition which was one of a series extended over 13 years by Professor Howell to find chordata in Cambrian strata,
 The fossil was found in shale which contained trilobites and hrachipods. which enabled scientists 10 estimate the age of the strata, and indicated that fish might have had their origin in salt water instead of fresh, as had been believed.

Troops Arc En Route.

Washington. Dec. 26 Pp--A com pany Of American marines is en route 10 China from Manila, but whether the movement has special significance in view Of the Chinese civil warfare has not been made known by officials here.
 Lacking official explanatory ad- vices, it was believed the sailing of several destroyers with the marines was of routine nature, although de- vclopmcnjs in China during the past two days have been closely watched by Washington authorities.
 These included the reported cap lure on Thursday of Ticntsin by the National Peoples army and the kill ing yesterday of General kuo Sung Ling and his wife hy soldiers of Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian war lord. In the capture of Ticntsin, the Peoples army was said to have de- fcated troops of General Iii Ching Ling. former governor of Chihli province.
 General Kuo and his wife, captur- ed in q cellar where they hid after kuos army was defeated Thursday by that of Marshal Chang, met a rebels death. General Kuo once commanded troops under Chang, but revoltcd and made war upon the Manchurian. After capturing kuo and his wife, Cnang'S soldiers cut off the generals legs and the woman's s arms, then shot both. Later their heads were severed and at the com mand of General Chang were placed on the grave Of one of ChanE's favorite generals who had been kill cd by Kuo.
 T"king, it is thought, may be the destination Of the marines sailing from Manila, since they would not Hkcly be needed at Tientsin. where the army has charge of American military activities. Admiral Clarence $. Williams, commander of the Asiat- ic fleet, recently informed the navy department that he planned to send d's'royeTs 10 Shanghai as reliet units and possibly the marines wil 1 relieve others at Picking.
 Another development Of more pa. Cific nature, was reported to the state department last night by Min. is'cr MacMurray at Picking. Tn, message related that fighting around Ti"ntSin had lapsed to an extent per s4 4,,
 train service between that city an, { Picking and that commercial seryic, also had resumed.

RACE OF BASKET MAKERS LIVED IN
 AMERICA MORE THAN 4,50O YRS. AGO
Scientists Find Indications of Long Forgotten People
 in Some of the Western States

"ThIs," says the scientist, "seeme m evidence Of antiquity and of hay. ing been pushed aside and away as by a central drive from newer and stronger tribes, splitting an early population into small groups. isoIat- ing them, compelling them to live in less favorable districts"
 Possible descendants o' this arch aic race may be found, Dr. Renaud suggests in 0ccanica between Aus tralia and New Caledonia, in New Guinea and New Britain and as far east as Hawaii and Easter Island.
 Skulls that have been found indi- cate that the Basket Makers lived In Southwest Colorado, Northwest New Mexico and Arizona, Utah. Mexico and santa Barbara Islands and Lower California as well as in the northwestern part O. the Cnitel States. Skulls of the Basket Makers type have been found, the scientist says, belonging to the Algonquin, IroQuois and Erie Indians and in some mounds of Ohio and Tennes- see.
 Skulls indicate, also, that the Basket Makers inhabited south America.
