MISSING LINK 0R SOMETHING SIMILAR
"AQstalOpithecus Airicanus' Is
 Discovered in BeChaanalanf

London, Feb. 4,--"Austalopithecus 1, Africanus," as Prof, Raymond Dart has named the original owner of the skull which he discovered at Taungs, Beehuanaland, has stirred uively in- terest among anthropologists and anatomists here. Their attention is all the more closely engaged because of Prof. Darts well established rep utation.
 If Prof. Dart makes claim to q certain discovery, l am prepared to regard 1t as reliable" was the com ment of Sir Arthur 'Keith, noted anthropologist, when shown Cape Town dispatches in which Prof. Dart ascribed the greatest importance to his find. Sir Arthur, however, added cautiously that 1t would probably be more correct to regard the skull as one of hundreds of missing links" rather than 'the missing link"-in other words as an additional piece of evidence in the already overwhelm- Ing proof of mans evolution.
 Grafton Elliot smith, professor Of anatomy in the University of Lon | don and an authority on evolution, also paid tribute to the trlistworthi- ness of the discoverer. He recalled that Prof. Dart was with him when the famous Rhodesian skull was found and was formerly his assistant here in anatomical research. Prof Smith expressed belief that the skull belongs to "a period twice as long before the Piltdown and Java skulls as the latter were before ourselves.
 Prof. Dart was born in Queens. land, studied medicine at the Uni

versity of Sydney and served in the Australian medical corps during the war. He joined Prof. smiths staff hero in 1919 and in 1920 visited the United States, where he worked in various American medical schools. He was appointed professor of anat- omy in Witwatersrand University in 1923.
 The dispatches describing his dis coyery said the skull was buried in limestone at depth of 50 feet, rep- resented something midway between man and tho great apes, and was much finer than previously discover cd prehistoric skulls. Its owner, Prof, Dart said, while not human, was yet more intelligent than tho gorilla or chlpanzee, and must be regarded rather us man-like ape than as an ape-like man.

Through The Static

Lots of dance music on the air last night, in fact, almost too much. Never have we seen it to fail; when We desire an abundance of dance music, the ether is sure to be carry ing burden of speeches and classi- cal concerts, but when our desires run the other way. dance music ga lore will pour out ol our loud speaker,
 Atmospheric conditions were fair last night and, probably outside of Inc city, they were excellent. Inter- florence was mostly of the local type, caused by leaky electric light wires and the hum from generator some- where in our vicinity There was a bit of static, but the crashes came at long intervals and interfered not at alL Distant stations proved fairly easy 10 bring in,
 Transmitting carly last night in an attempt to provide listeners-in in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales with entertainment, CNRA at MonCton, New Brunswick, present. ed q program which was a welcome relief from the period of almost total quiet which prevailed shortly before o'clock each evening. This pro- gram was made up of musical se- !ectiOns by the Chateau Laurier con- | cert orchestra and vocal solos by a prominent woman singer. whose name We did not catch, although it was Scotch. This station was trans hitting with an aerial output of soc watts and the program boiled in in ! great shape.
 WHB at Kansas City has also 1 changed it's wave length. Last night We caught this station broadcasting 1 on pproXimatcly 364 meters. "Thc Circus of The Air" was the feature 1 of the evening, this affair having been prepared for presentation al the Guardian Angel church. Kansas City. The circus barker tempting wis, itors to enter his tent and view the wonders gathered from all corners of the earth was true to life, anL his silver tongued oratory was of the type heard when citizens of this call ing wore checked suits and hugt paste diamonds. The roaring of tn, animals and the circus performance itself came through without static or fading to mar the effect. A move

ASK FRANCHISE
BE REFERRED
TO ELECTORS

A petition demanding that the
franchise granted the Hughes Elec-
trio Company by the Board of City
Commissioners at their meeting held
two weeks ago be referred to the
electors in accordance with the pro-
visions of law was filed late yester-
day afternoon with the city auditor.
1t bore 40l names most of whom
are residents of the south side Of
the railway track.
Those behind the circulation of
the petition for the reference of the
franchise contend that the emergen-
cy clause which was appended to the
published ordinance at that meeting
is not effective, on two grounds.
First, because no real emergency ex-
listed due to the fact that the pres
cnt franchise of the Electric Com
pany does not expire until next Au-
gust, and the second ground is that
