Culture in America
in Pleisfocene Age

Primitive man lived In America at
a vastly earlier time than is generally
believed, says Scientific Monthly, II
the evidence gathered by the Colorado
Museum Of Natural History in the
Southwest Is valid. Instead of dating
back only some 5000 to $4,000 years,
the time when the Indian is supposed
to have come to America from Asia,
these human relics are assigned to
the geological period known as the
Pleistocene. It was In this age, from
$4,000 to 100000 years ago. that
northeastern America was periodical
ly covered with glacier, and when
prehistoric mastodons roamed the
land.
The discoveries are mostly arrow
heads, metates (primitive grinding In
struments) and other worked stones,
found In close association with ex.
tinct animals. Near Frederick, Okla,
remains of mammoth were found at
a level Of eight feet above that of a
deposit which contained some of the
relics. This is considered strong evil
dence of their antiquity. The arrow
heads were totally unlike those In
any known collections. They were
primitive, but the man who made
them must have progressed consider
ably In culture. as they were far In
advance Of the human relics of that
period unearthed elsewhere.

tali"'-the story of his adventures
while earning living by writing
tells Of his first meeting with Amy
Lowell. the New England poet. He
attended a literary supper In New
York and sat next to rather large.
formidable woman with an assured
smile and no apology for being late"-
she had arrived half an hour after
supper had been served.
"She took the seat next to mine
and at once usurped the conversation
readily and animatedly. I listened
with delight and wondered who she
might be. / began to put questions
to her, mainly about poetry, which
she answered slightly. with half her
intelligence. After a rebuff more
pointed, said suddenly:
az believe you are Miss Amy
Lowell!'

upon me and said:

Guided three separate tracts. The
largest now extends west and south
from Mountain lake on the Canadian
boundary OF Cook county to Bear
Island lake in Northeastern st.
Louis county. At no point does it
reach Lake Superior, although It
approaches the North Shore road
Just southwest of Lutsen and at a
second point a little southwest OF
Iotte. 1t reaches the Canadian
border only at and adjacent to
Mountain lake. The proclamation
of April 8, 1927, providing for a
purchase area enlarges this section
of the forest so that when acqulsl-
ton is completed it will adjoin Lake
Superior from a point halfway be-
tween Hovland and Grand Marais
southwest to Schroeder. So the
area of this section is being in
creased gradually ny acquisition
from private owners. Last week
It's area, accordin- to the records of
the forest supervisor at Ely, was
1.25S,0O0 acres.
'fThe second largest tract lies al
most entirely in Northeastern St.
LOUIS county, from Burnside and
Trout lakes north to Lac La Croix,
the eastern tip just reaching over
into the extreme northeastern cor
ner of Lake county. Its area is
369,390 acres. The smallest tract
is an area of 1888 acres in the
northwestern corner of Cook county
south of Saganaga lake.

conception of the forest and its
boundaries was demonstrated strik-
ingly a short time ago by the out
cry which arose over the proposed
road from Ely to Gunfiint. oppon-
ents of the project arguing that it
would cut through and damage Su-
perior National forest. The facts
were that the proposed road was
not routed through the forest, while
the Ely-Finland roau and the Gun
flint trail, both previously approved
by the public, do pass through the
forest.

that the eel has an organ In Its tail

It a second heart. This, however, Is

 At an advertised public hearing last evening at city hall. Chester 4. Maben of = Glen street and Paul Zehler Of 355 Corbin avenue were the only persons present ex- cep. two committee members, Councilman Warner and Alderman Naerz, and newspapermen. Alder man Judd, the third member of the committee, was at another com nittee meeting.
 A general discussion of the pro- feet took place without much progress being made. and it was decided 10 meet next Monday eve ming and prepare report 10 the council. Councilman Warner is Of the opinion that action Of the sort intended at the time the commit tee appointment was authorized cannot be obtained at this time.
