filters RESTING
IN GERMANY
BY international News Service
BADEN BADEN. Germany. June

BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS Service
BADEN BADEN, Germany, June
1s.-Although incognito. Clarence
Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine
are unable to escape adulation.
The two American filters who
ended their transocean jump in
Germany a week ago today are
here for a rest, with but little
prospect Of getting it.
Throughout their journey from
Berlin. their train was greeted by
hundreds gathered at the stations,
and the conductor was forced to
give them an extra compartment to
hold the floral tributes nurled on
the train.
At Karlsruhe the Association of
ex-Army Pilots presented Cham
berlin and Levine with the insignia
of their association and made them
honorary members, thus Chamber
lin is the only former allied pilot
to have the insignia Of the German
war pilots.
On arrival at Baden Baden the
two filters were taken by tsorm,
5000 ardent admirers cheering
them and the mayor and members
of the city council extending an
official welcome to them.
The crowds carried the two filters
to their automobile upon their
shoulders.
The Hotel Stefanie, where the
two filters registered, has suddenly
become almost an American hos
telry. for in the past twenty-sour
hours more than $50 Americans
have registered there
Chamberlin today took account Of
cash on hand. He started for
Europe with $11.60 and he has
given away $3.50 as souvenir coins,
but he still has $40, having found
1t impossible to spend a penny in
Germany.
Chamberlin and Levine have de.
cided to return to Berlin by com.
mercial plane Wednesday and will
then fly to Bremen Thursday to
meet their wives.
Chamberlin received his first kiss
from a German fraulein here. At
the reception following his arrival,
an attractive girl, dressed in the
quaint costume of the local peasant,
forced her way to the side of the
flyer, implanted a resounding smack
and vanished. Chamberlin ges-
tured helplessly in great embar-
rasSment.
A Lufthansa plane circled above
the train all the way from Berlin
to Baden-Baden. making it easy
for the crowds Of waiting admirers
to identify the train carrying
Chamberlin and Levine.
Levine attempted to spend some
money this morning. asking for
the privilege OF paying for his
breakfast on the train. The wait.
er assured him he had orders to
take no money, and orders were
orders to his pocket.

While the political police continue
their drive against alleged anti

CIVIL SERVICE REVIVAL
EXPECTED FROM SLACK
Fire Department Changes May
Come Before Reinstatement.

Come Before Reinstatement.
Revival of police and fire civil
service by Mayor L. Ert Slack is ex-
pected after reorganization of the
fire department personnel.
William H. Book, Chamber of
Commerce civic director, the Fed
Grafton of Civic Clubs and several
business men, have urged that civil
service be restored.
Civil service, inaugurated when
former Mayor John L. Duvall took
office, was abolished shortly before
he resigned to permit changes in
the police department.
Slack indicated he favors civil
service regulations to govern ap-
pointments to the forces, but does
not think 1t should apply to major
appointments.
Slack is opposed to the passage
of the $450,000 bond issue for a new
Gamewell system for police and
fire departments, because Of the
financial condition of the city.

INDIAN ORIGIN
TRACED BACK
TO STONE ACE
Ancestors Most Cultured of
Earliest Europeans,
Says Scientist.
BY WATSON DAVIS
Managing Editor, Science Service

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 3D.
A new origin for the American In
dian that dates his ancestors back
to the most cultured of the men Of
the old stone age of Europe was
presented to the anthropologists of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science here this
morning by DR.. Alex Hrdlicka OF
the Smithsonian Institution.
The famous cro-magnon men Of
Europe, who decorated caves with
realistic paintings and made re-
1narkable sculptures that indicate
high skill, are the new designated
Observation-Disclosures Of the
Redskins of our western plains. An
extensive study of the skeletons OF
prehistoric men in Europe caused
Hrdlicka to come to this conclusion.
Mouse as Mans Teacher
Heretofore, it was possible to trace
the descent of the Indians only as
far back as supposed ancestors who
once lived in Siberia, whence they
emigrated to America.
Similar shaped skulls and identl-
cal practice of burying red iron ore
paint with their dead caused
Hrdlicka to associate the Indians
with the early Europeans.
The mouse can teach man many
lessons about himself and expert
ments upon this small animal may
prove to be the salvation Of the hu-
man race. This was the prediction
Of DR.. G. G. Little, president OF the
University of Michigan, who ad-
dressed the associations
1.-THE rapid multiplication of man
kind has forced the attention OF
man upon himself and his neigh
bors," Little said.
Since the mouse Is a mammal,
very like man in many respects,
which can be bred in large num-
berS quickly and at little expense,
Little urged that intensive research
in genetics be undertaken upon this
animal in order to provide answers
for some of the vital problems fac
ing the human race.
Crickets, Katydids Orchestras
How is size and growth deter
mined? What controls fertility and
sterility in reproduction? What de-
termins the inherited susceptibility
or resistance to disease? How can
innate psychological differences be
accounted for? Mice will tell.
AS assistants in the work, sclen-
lists will call upon rats, dogs and
other animals who approach man
in their physical and mental make
up.
Crickcts and katydids singing
simultaneously as if they were per-
forming under the guidance of an
orchestra leader is made possible by
the fact they actually hear with the
so-called ears upon their front legs,
Prof. B. B. Fulton Of Iowa State
College reported.
Snails were the favorite dinner
meat Of the prehistoric men OF
North America, according to DR.
George L. Collie of Beloit College
who told of excavating huge mounds
of small snail shells in the course OF
his archaeological investigations.
