BIG TAX COLLECTIONS
$400, ,OO0, 900 In Additional Levies Paid Into Government Golfers During the Year.

Washington. Dec. 30 P>-While
 the treasury refunded sl75.000.000
 in illegally collected taxes last fiscal Iyear, Secretary Mellon declared to- day that during the same period it had collected s400,000,000 in addi- tional levies made as a result of mis- takes by taxpayers in computing their returns or in failure to make returns.
 The bulk of the refunds resulted from regular court orders. the secre- Etary said. and many of them result
 ed from mistakes by the government in interpreting provisions of the ex-
 cess profits tax, which is not now in existence.
 The list of refunds paid by the government during the last fiscal year was sent to the house ways and
 means committee this week by Sec retary Mellon in accordance with
 the revenue law which provides that the treasury indicate to whom thet refunds are given.
 President Coolidge has forwarded to congress a req est for another s175, 5,000,000 appropriations to take
 care of refunds which will have to be paid during the next fiscal year. All persons named In the list sub
 mitted this week have been paid.

CRY-BAbY APPEAL
 LOSES ITS FORCE
Banker Says American Business Cries "WOlf' Too Often

Boston, Dec. 30 Rl-"The Cry Baby appeal is getting too common in American business and 1t is losing it's effectiveness" o. H. Cheney, vice. Irving Trust company of New York, told the Boston Chamber of Com merce today.
 The slogan Buy bale Of cotton and the plea that women should wear cotton stockings to help the mill towns are simply begging for a handout," he declared. No indus try can establish itself firmly on street corners, and panhandlng is not sound method of developing in- dustry.
 Some pessimists have painted a picture of New England desolate and dead--its mills closed by southern competition and its farms and fish ing wharves converted into artists colonies. Such picture is not true to life. I cannot see a pauperized New England in the savings bank statistics-for of all sections New England Is the most thrifty accord ing 10 these figures.
 Why is the cotton industry of New England going south? The south advertises it's cheap power. cheap labor and proximity to the cotton fields. The north complains Of expensive coal, high wages, high freight rates-and buries it's head in it's hands; but the truth is that no state and no country can claim cheap labor costs forever.
 Wages in the south must invar- iably rise and the working week grow shorter. The south calls itself the new southland-andr rightly but it cannot become the new south of great industry enlightened labor and new prosperity and at the same time remain the old south. The south cannot face both ways at once-
 New England is the old home stead of industry and American industry will not come back to the old homestead unless it is all paint ed up, has tiled bathrooms and a superheterodyne in what used to be called the parlor.

How long does New England think it can live on the past? Gould not the north overcome its handi- caps by using labor more efficiently, by giving it better machinery and. above all, better management? New England and the cotton industry are you study. you will find new compe- tition. And with this new competi- tion. perhaps will come new eco- homie statesmanship. We need men who can see the new competition. We need men who can think not in terms of tariffs and customs-snoop- CTS, but in terms of world produce ton and distribution"

ment as faithfully as does their ma- terial culture."
 A lifetime spent in studying astronomy and allied sciences has led Dr. Heber D. Curtis, director of the Allegheny observatory. to be- lieve that the human soul exists aft CT death.
 In addressing the scientists yes- terday on the Unity of the Uni- verse" Dr. Curtis showed how the same elements composed the earth and the most distant stars, how electrical action appears to be the same on earth as on the dimmest star and how physical and chemical processes seem to be the same throughout the universe and time, and added:
 T am ready to admit there is gap between the world of matter and that of spirit.
 "I personally find it impossible to regard Handers 'Lergo,' Keats Ode to a Grecian Urn and the higher ethics as mere by-products of, the chemical interaction of a collection of hydrocarbon molecules With en- ergy, matter, space and time con- tinuous, with nothing lost or wasted. are we ourselves the only manifes- tation that comes to an end, ceases, is annihilated at three score years and ten?
 Spirit of Man
 What we crudely call the spirit of man makes new compounds, plays with the laws of chemical ac- tion, guides the forces of the atom, changes the face of the earth, gives life to new forms and takes 1t away from millions of animals and plants. ! Here is a flame that controls its own flaming, a creative spirit which car- not reasonably be less than the con- tinuity It controls.
 This thing, soul, mind or spirit, cannot well be an exception. In some way, as yet impossible to de- fine. it, too, must possess continuity The concept is old. and the argu- ments older, but the conclusion , seems inevitable"

have made several captures of this type of fellow. but the real one is still at large. We know this by the way he has handled the women vtc- tins.
 strangely enough the men we have caught are all about the same size, age. and appearance. dress about the same, act about the same. We thought at first it would be easy to identify the man, but it has proved difficult.
 "We have had criminals who at- tack and murder women. and those who merely rob them, but not one like this. who takes their money first, talks vilely to them, but makes no effort otherwise to molest them. He is not an ordinary tough. but speaks with quiet accent; does not strike the women. We had one just like him before. He may come from q good home, and be sort of Jekyll and Hyde personality These are hard to catch, because they disap- pear so completely once they are tossed away from the actual scene Of the crime"
 The cat seems to be sort of phantom, according to the girls who have encountered him. They all tell this same story about his appear ance out of nowhere and his disap- pearance into the same place. He comes out of the shadows and melts away into the shadows.

OLD CULTURE OF
 ALASKA IS TOLD
Asiatic Connections Suspected
 by Dr. HrdlEka

Philadelphia, Dec. 30 R1Fossil ivory and other archaeological ob- jects with indications of Asiatic Alaska, were described today by pr. Ales Hrdlicka, retiring president of the American Anthropologica asso- ciation. in an address before the American Association for the Ad- vancemcnt of Science. The Arche- ological objects showed evidences Of remarkable and rich old culture" hef said.
 Under the auspices of the Bureau of American Ethnology. Smithson- ian Institution, Dr. Hrdlicka made four months trip to Alaska and is- lands of the Boring Sea for an authropological and archaeological survey
 The objects of the trip" he said. were the tracing of all possible clews as to mans antiquity and his old migrations in these regions, and personal study of the Indians as well as of the Eskimo.
 'The four months trip consisted essentially of two parts: First, tho exploration in small boats of about 900 miles of the Yukon, from Tam ana downwards, and second, the ex- ploration for old sites of the prin- cipal Boring Sea islands and the sea coasts from Nome to Point Barrow.
 Many "Dead' Villages
 "The results were the location of scores of dead villages with some older sites along both the Yukon and the coasts. the finding of a hitherto unknown stone industry on the lower central Yukon. the gath ering of many old archaeological ob- jects, particularly of fossil ivofy, which show collectively remark able and rich old culture with indi- cations Of connections on one side deep into Asia and on the other With that of the American northwest coast, and the collection of over 300 crania with large series of fairly complete skeletons, representing most of the more important sub divisions of the Yukon and the coasts"
 Dr. w Elmer Ekblaw. associate professor of geography at Clark uni versity, told the scientists that Po- lar Eskimo living In northwest Greenland were hunters, not be- cause of low mental capacity, but because they had no other source of food, clothing, fuel and light.
 Keen Mentality
 Consequent upon the rigor of the natural conditions, and the pau city and monotony of their re- sources," said Dr. Ekblaw, the Polar Eskimo have developed a keen. alert mentality and have evolved social and economic or eanizations that reflects the environ
