RAREST ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY
OFNEW WORLD IS UNEARTHED in CUBA

HAVANA, May THE skull
of a man, declared to antedate any
yet found in the Americas, and
which scientists claim supports
the theory that a race of super
men once inhabited Cuba, has
been presented to the University
of Havana.
The donor is DR.. Marcelino
We;s, d;scoverer of the relic and
one of the leading authorities of
the day on prehistoric man in
Cuba. DIR Weis is also the found
or of the dental college of the
University of Havana. He
brought the skull to light in Sancti
Spiritus while engaged in research
work.
Two facts about this skull are
outstanding:
1t is asserted to be the oldest
relic of man in the Americas.
2--It IS one of three such speei-
mems with perfect dental-arch
now in the hands of scientists.
One is in Washington, d. c.. the
other is in London.
According to DR.. Weis the Gu
ban skull, 'the first man of the
Americas" as he has called it, is
in an excellent state of preserva-
ton and far nearer perfection
than either of the others. The
Havana scientist uncovered exact
ly 1000 skulls before he made his
discovery in Sancti Spiritus.
Because the skull is thousands
of years old and because it be-

OLD ox-DRAWN CART
Draws Back Curtain on History of Builders of Nash Enclosed Bodies

No automobile body manufacturer in America has a more inspiring history than the Seaman Body Corporation of Milwaukee. exclusive builders of Nash enclosed bodies. and owned in half by the Nash Motors Company. Back be- yond the memory of the present gen eration-over seventy-five years ago the house of Seaman was founded. A photograph of an ox-drawn cart bear ing the inscription, A. D. Seaman & CO. taken in 1871 and recently un- earthed by Mrs Christ Behrens of Milwaukee. is picturesque testimon- ial to the years of service that have been experienced by the Seaman or ganization. Mrs. Behrens. whose hus- band was the driver of the oX-cart, ex- plains that during the year 1871 se- we're epidemic of influenza among horses made it necessary 10 replace those animals by oxen which were still. however, in fairly general use.
 Back in the days prior to the Civil War. 4. D. Seaman. grandfather Of the present heads of the business, en- gagged in the building of fine furniture. Tn later years as the automobile indus try grew to major importance and the demand arose for automobile bodies that would worthily represent the woodworking art, Seaman turned its specialized ability to this field.
 Today the immense Seaman shops are entirely utilized by Nash enclosed body products, and as indicating the growth of this organization, founded back in the days of the prairie schoon- CT and the ox-cart. the Seaman Body Corporation in 1922 produced 9,l20 en- closed bodies for Nash Motors, in 1923 the production was 19 1888. in 1924 the figure was 27 ,040, in 1925 it was 7s,- 599, while in the first six months of 1926.

New York City. August 4, l926.- This is the season of undercurrents in New York. On the surface the passing visitor may not detect in the perspiring crowds that New York IS rumbling with rumors and that down underneath the day to day activity of the city things are preparing to happen. First of all. there is the political undercurrent, dominated by the figure of Governor Al Smith. Downtown, in the financial market, while most of the bulls and bears are
 in Europe or out on the links up the Hudson and on Long Island. there are things stirring in undertones that will show themselves on the tickers of autumn. Along the Rialto, actors and actresses are returning from va- cations and in many nall and on the stage of darkened theatres are pre- pairing the plays of the season that Is just about to open. And you may or may not believe 1t, but in this season i of doldrums. New York is just IS crowded and as busy as ever.
 Comes Forward Tennis
 Meanwhile, in odd moments away from the office. New York IS turning a lot of daylight attention to sports, and sports in New York and the vicinity are no mean affair. There are. away up town, the Giants and the Yankees working their way steadily through the season, with "the Babe" swinging . mighty bat from time to time. In boxing circles there is the figure of Jack Dempsey at last about to return to the ring and attracting attention around the town. But most important just now is a game that twenty-five years ago was still but a spindling thing in the field of American sport, for tennis comes further and further to the front in the rank of important sport. Very soon now the crowds will be pouring out through the Pennsyl- vania tunnel to Forest Hills and the tennis stadium, otherwise known as 'fthe fireiess cooker" Here one sees the best of the worlds tennis. except ing. of course. Mile Susanne Lenglen. But next week there will be Big Bill Tilden. and Johnston of the cool head and wiry body. and Vincent Richards and Miss Helen Wills of the green eye shade and the poker players calm. and a host of these new kings and queens of game whose populasty is becom- ing little short of phenomenal.
 The Plays That Stay
 The season that was in the theatre gradually gives way to the season that is to be and yet there are hardy pieces of the footlights that refuse 10 vacate the boards and that still attract the crowds, usually their portion of the 300. 900 who come into New York daily. At Mrs. Bean's," q theatre Guild success, still attracts it's pa- irons despite the fact that Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontaine are no longer of the cast. And, oddly enough, while such successes as 'sThe Shanghai Ges- ture" and "The Last of Mrs. Cheney" have given way to the heat wave. that puzziing play of Eugene O'Neil's,
