Evidence Tehding to Prove
This Statement Presented to
Anthropology Section of
American Association For
Advancement of Science

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 28.-lP)-
A belief that man has been living
in North America since pleisteone
times, perhaps 100000 years ago,
and a suggestion that the later Gro
Magnon man of Europe may have
been closely affiliated with the ST.
berian or European ancestors of the
aboriginal North American Indian,
were presented today to the An
thropology section Of the American
Association For the Advancement
Of Science.
DR.. Oliver P. Hay Of Carnegie In
stitution at Washington maintained
that the discovery of arrow heads
in pleisteone deposits in the south
west indicated the existence of hui
man beings on this continent during
that geologic age.
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of
physical anthropology at the Ma
tional Museum at Washington, re-
ported growing Indications that
the more advanced Gro Magnon peo-
pie contributed to the stock from
which the red-skinned Indian sprang.
Basis of Claim
DR.. Hays conclusions were based
on discovery made in Texas and
Mexico by j. u. Higgins, director of
the Colorado Museum of Natural
History, and his assistants. These
scientists found several arrow heads
among the bones Of prehistoric
bison, horses, camels, and other ami
mails known to haves existed during
the pleisteone age.
"The occurrence Of man in Amer
lea during pleisteone times is what
we might reasonably expect" he
said. I'm all probability man had
his origin in eastern Asia. When q
wide bridge between Asia and
America was opened up. it was
natural that men would follow the
animals they knew how to hunt.
"The main movement of the ami
mails Of Asia into America took
place during the early pleisteone

Taylor Is Noted Banker
Myron C. Taylor's education at
Cornell University was for the law,
but his career led him from the
bar to- Wall Street, where he be-
came widely influential through q
brilliant record as head of large
number Of textile concerns. Later,
as a director of the First National
Bank Of New York, known as the
George F. Baker bank" he be-
came actively identified with the
great railroad and industrial enter

French Income Tax

This inequality between business

but country votes always have been
able to defend the farmer with the
argument that 10 does his duty IN

From Jap Royalty

Oslo, Norway, Dec. 2S.-(R--
Road Amundsen was rewarded
principally with glory when he con-
quered tn e Arctic and Antarctic,
but for plotting Prince Chin Ri and
Princess Masako of Japan over Oslo
he got a chest of silver. The gift,
a souvenir Of the royal couples

perial Japanese coat Of arms in
gold.
The royal tourists, who are study

iting the heads Of states, were very
much interested in hearing from
Amundsen's own lips the tales of
his various exploits. They went
out to the historical museum of

to Mardi Gras Of 1923.
From January 6 to February FL
Rex. king Of carnival, holds his
court. From the snow-bound re-
gions Of the far north, the plants
OF the west, the east and as far
south as Latin America, visitors
swarm into the city with handbags
and trunks burdened with raiment
suitable to the festivities.
All Join in Fun
To be in style one must forget
at times the dictates Of Paris and
Fashion Park and join in the fun.
Clowns, Indians, Pierrots and Pier
rettes, knights, ladies and thou
sand other characters make up q
celebration which has come down
through the long, romantic history
Of New Orleans.
Mardi Gras primarily is an oc-
casion for street festivities, but not
to the exclusion Of beauty or the
grace and pomp Of numerous mag
nificent balls and wonderfully ex-
ecuted floats.
Highly skilled craftsmen, trained
through generations in no other
work, are engaged the year around
constructing floats to participate in
carnival professions. This year
there will be three torch light pro-
cessions and the great parade when
Rex greets his queen in ancient
Canal street.
The seasons debutantes and
beautiful women from everywhere
make q dazzling display of feminine
finery at the balls. From them. on
the basis Of personal popularity
and standing in the community, is
chosen the carnival queen.
Jewels Are Presented
Nantes are presented Rex and
his queen. Crown jewels, consist
ing Of q scepter and a necklace
stomacher for the queen, likewise
are given. They are creations from
the finest jewellers of Paris, al
though the gems are but rhine
stones.
All the balls, Is in number. are
exclusive with the exception Of
Rex, which attracts an average at
tendance of 10000 persons. They
are sumptuous affairs, all in mas
que and with their courts of royalty
and beauty. Ball rooms are decor
ated in accord with some fantasy
the harmony Of which is carried
out in the costumes of members of
the sponsoring organization. Each
has q membership of approximately
400 persons, each of whom pays
500 to defray the cost Of the balls
and pageants.
The gayety reaches its height on
Thursday, February Is, when the
brilliant street pageant Of the
Krewe Of Momus is held and the
high revelry lasts until midnight
OF Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras Day,
when the chimes of old st. Louis
Cathedral announce the arrival Of
Ash Wednesday and Lent, calling
the faithful to 40 days and nights
Of prayer.

Evolution knowledge
Called Medical Need

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-lPJ-
A knowledge of human evolution is
indispensable to medicine if that
science is to fathom the deeper
causes and trends Of large part
of human pathology, DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, curator Of physical an
thropology at the National Museum,
told the medical section Of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science today.
Equally indispensable to the
scientific medicine Of the future"
he asserted, will be sound knowl-
edge Of human variation. For this
teaches that even under the most
normal or uncomplicated conditions
everything in our frame, organs,
functions and even the causes of
disease and the process of the same
is subject to a very perceptible
range of variation.
1.-THE medical textbooks, your an
atomies and pathologies, deal not
with the realities as they are, but
with workable abstracts or gists
Of these realities. Yet without the
understanding of the normal yaria-
ton Of every feature, every process,
every manifestation Of man, nor
NAL and abnormal, q true under
standing Of any part Of medicine is
not possible. Here anthropology
has been and continues to be a veri-
table handmade Of medicine.
Another main service Of an
thropology TO medicine is the de-
termination of standards. It is sell
evident that the medical man, to
judge properly, must have normal
standards Of the parts in which he
is interested. And to find these
standards or averages with their
range Of normal variation is the pc.
culiar function Of anthropological
endeavor."
