London Returning to Normal
 Relief Measures

London. Jan. 10 N - The fury Of the Thames has spent itself and London today turned to measures of relief and to repairing the dam- age wrought by hood waters Satur- day.
 The tide today reached it's height at 3:46 a. m. and subsided withou, damage. It was below Saturday's high level and experts believe that danger is past. Precautions against further deaths and destruction are : being maintained and the barriers against a new rush of water were strengthened continually.
 The port of London authority said no further overflow need be expected and refugees returned to dig among the wreckage and slime of their homes for their belongings
 Art treasures in the Tate gallery, the National Museum of Art. farcd better in the flood than had been anticipated. Water colors and chalk drawings in the collection Of 19,00u works by J. NJ. w. Turner were dried out with little loss of bril- liancy
 AS to the effect of the waters on oil paintings 1t was still too early for expert opinion. Until they are thoroughly dried 1t will be impossi- blc to estimate the retouching tha, may be required. William Blakes picture of Admiral Nelson seemed to he the only rare work in need of extensive restoration.

 BROADWAY By PHILIP DCNN1NG and GEORGE ABBOTT
CAST
tRy Herald Reyiewerl

tEy Herald kevieWerJ
 'BroadWay" alliteratively referred to as "melange of mirth and mur- der" played to a large audience at Parsons theater. Hartford, last night anu was accorded q reception which would have been gratifying even to the first company which played at the same theater on Sep tember l3. 1926. prior to brilliant run in New York.
 In colorful language and acting. life "behind the scenes" in a metro rolitan cabaret Is depicted. In fact it can truthfully be said that Broadway" is the grandpa of ser ies Of legitimate entertainments which are based on a "behind the scenes motif. It's success was fol- lowed by plethora of plays which went to the other side of the foot lights for plots.
 In Broadway" there is love and laughter with bootleegers' feud and murder forming its backbone.
 The company now holding the boards at Parsons does not suffer seriously by comparison with the original cast. Walter Glass is de. cidedIy good as Roy Lane, the "hoof- ar" whose greatest ambition in life is to see his name in electric lights outside big time vaudeville house. Helen Raymond is A No. 1 in the role of Lii Rice. the veteran show girl for whom life holds no further illusions. Matt Briggs is stronger In the second and third acts as Steve Crandall. suave bootleggers' king. than in the first. His delincation of Il braggart turned craven is remark ably true to life. Loretta Shea Is a pleasing Billie" Moore. d protege Of Roy Lane. James $. kearney and Ashley Cooper eNecel as Crandalis henchmen and Robert w. Craig un- derstandingly plays Dan McCorn. the detective. Others whose efforts are torcibly brought to attention are Eugene Bedding, Jack Rigo. Mar guerite St. Clair and Elcnaor 7. Audley.
 ''Rroadway" IS booked for Par sons theater for the week. with matinees on Wednesday and Satur- day.

ANCIENT TRAILS
 BEING UNCOVERED
Were Made Before Grand Can'
 yon Existed

Washington, April 20. R-Dig- ging back about 25.ooo,o0o years
 into the records of life on this con- tinent Dr. Charles w. Gilmore has
 added to the Smithsonian Institut- tion's collection number of new specimens of footprints and trails
 of long extinct animals as a result
 of his most recent trip to the Grand Canyon National Park. Dr. Gilmore, who is a curator of
 Paleontology of the National Mu- scum and has recently been in Florida seeking evidence to deter mine whether man existed ill America before the end of the glacial age, has just completed his account of his third expedition. last year, to the Grand Canyon.
 As a result of this trip. which was made with the financial as- sistance of the Grand Canyon ex- hibit committee of the National Academy of Sciences, the known geographical range of the fossil tracks in the region were consid- erably extended.
 All of the trails. he said, were made by invertebrate animals. It is clearly indicated that a great number of these creatures crawled about there in the moist sand be- fore nature had built up the moun- tain through which the Colorado river for countless years has been slowly cutting its channel. That sand. now in the form Of sandstone strata 300 to more than 1900 feet from the present top of the moun- tain. bears the record of their ex- istence.
 Dr. David White. of the United States Geological Survey and home secretary of the National Academy. who accompanied him. discovered tracks of extinct animals in asso- citation with fossil plants, Dr. Gill more relates. in two widely sep arated localities, on the Bright Angel Trail and the Yaki Trail. The plants were in an excellent state of preservation.
 c. E. sturdevant, Grand Canyon National park. naturalist. another member of the party, found a slab of we'll preserved tracks on the Bright Angel trail. and subsequent ly has announced the discovery of fossil tracks in two geological for nations on the north rim of the canyon. further extending the range described by Dr. Gilmore.

PERU NOW HOLDING
 WILD JUNGLE ZONE
Land Is Cedd to Country by
 Colombian Govt.

Washington. April 20. R- A South American boundary dispute ot long standing was settled when Co., lombia ceded to Peru the PutAmayo region recently.
 Peru by the award, adds a hook shaped piece of wild. tropic forest ed upland of about 13.Oo0 square nlles to her northern territories.
 There is a temptaton noted by the National Geographic Sochety to think of Ecuador as a wedge be- tween the two republics of Peru and Colombia. Ecuador's wedge. however. does not extend deep enough to separate the two nations which now become neighbors across $50 mile boundary.
 Four nations have been con- cerned in the dispute over terri tory at the headquarters Of the Amazon river. Peru and Brazil settled their differences in 1851, Colombia and Ecuador came to an agreement in 1916, Colombia and Peru made a recent treaty, but the dispute between Peru and Ecuador over large hlGk of land east of the Andes remains. The region awarded to Peru by Colombia lies north and east of the territory still disputed.
 Peru will be long in tanning the Putnmayo region. Dense forests, whose trails are known only to scattering bands of 1aiians, cover the foothills. Torrential rains feed Tickle rivers that pour their floods into the Amazon. A traveller on the Putumayo river saw t rise and

Old Frigate May Finally Rest at
 Fort MCHdlry

Fort McHenry. Mir. Apr1 20. R- Here in the harbor of her birth and site of the inspiration of The Star Spangled Banner. the old frigate Constellation probably will find a permanent resting place as one of the ''immortals'' of the American navy.
 It is the plan of the Star Spangled Banner association to have the famous vessel put into port here for the last time on De- lenders Day. September 12. The association was organized in honor of the writing of the national an- them by Francis Scott Key. while q prisoner on a British warship in Baltimore harbor.
 The Constellation. now at New London, Conn. is believed to be the oldest frigate in seaworthy condi- ton possessed by any navy in the world. Built in Baltimore in 1794, it was ordered out for service against the pirates of the Barbary coast during the closing year of the eighteenth century. Among her crew on that expedition was Lieut. John Rodgers. ancestor of the late Commander John Rodgers. hero of the attempted seaplane flight to Hawaii a few years ago. During the war of 1912, the Constellation was blockaded at Norfolk. but three years later the frigatc was in Decatur's Mediterranean fleet.

 Tho Hiawatha belt ts believed here to be the original record of the formation of the Iroqucie League. The exact age of the belt is unknown. but 1t is believed to have been made in the middle ol the sixteenth century.
 The Washington Covenant belt was tho one most highly pEissd by the wampum keepers of the onondaSa Nation. It derives its name from its use during the presi- dency of George Washington as q covenant of peace between the IS original states which he represent ed and the Six Nations of the IroQuois.
 The third belt was made by the lroQuois to commemorate the sight Of tho first palefaces' but it ts not known whether this ref erence is to spaniards, French or Dutch.

 Chemists have discovered some of the secrets of this atomic architecture and have used them to change poisons into perfumes, dyes, and explosives. Nothing new is added in effecting these amazing transformations. The atomic building blocks are merely torn apart and put together differ ently."
