PREHISTORIC ART
 PIECE UNCOVERED
Ancient Medallion 1000 Years
 Old Found in France

CroiN-De-Nie France, Oct 27 R A medallion of human head in bas-relief, reputed to be 1000 years old. has been discovered on great ledge of rock, originally sub merged in the sea, by a Vendee archaelogist. Dr. Marcel Baudouin. If Dr. Baudouin's theories are cor rect, the medallion is of the very first interest to achaeologists the world over, since he maintains that the configuration of the head makes it akin to the representations of old Mexican and Mayan divinities.
 Thus submarine ledge of rock is taken by Dr. Baudouin to be ma terial proof of the existence of the lost Atlantis, the continent supposed to have existed where the Atlantic ocean now rolls and which constant ly haunts the imagination of scien- lists.
 Dr. Baudouin visits this ledge of rock every year at the great equi- noctial tide when a large part of it's surface is laid bare. Last year he discovered an engraving in the stone of the Glozelian type, of human feet.
 This autumn he discovered and made a cast of medallion of the human head in question. which he ascribes to the epoch 5000 B. C.
 The head is in profile similar to some ancient Greek coins.
 But what Dr. Baudouin finds most remarkable in 1t. is the eagle nose. very sharply marked. and the chin-baard. These characteristics relate the head to ancient Maya and Mexican divinities
 Dr. Baudouin thinks that prehis- toric American races must have come to the Nendean coast from the lost Atlantis during the copper age.
 The medallion will be reproduced in cement and exposed in the open air archaeological museum of Croix- De-Vie.

KHAN HEARING IS
 SET FOR TODAY Petition Seeking Receiver Will
 Be Argued

Atlanta. Ga, Oct 27 LP-A peti- tion seeking receiver for the ku Kiux Klan and the American build ing, and asking that high Klan of- ficials be restrained from alleged dissip patton and contribution of or ganixations funds to political pur- poses was set for hearing today lin the United States district court.

Dear Andv:

Dear Andy:
 The other afternoon a girl friend took me to Hartford to pass d road test to handle a gas tuggy and 1 graduated with drivers license that can be used on every street in any town, regardless of the weather. The only time I was doubtful about the examination was at the starting point when I stepped on the reverse pedal by mistake. The bus Soes backwards before l knows what it's all about and bends the tire rack as it slaps a post in the face. An- other time was when the cop asks who has the right-of- at an in- tersecting highway and. woman like, answers. T have" He also asks how near to the curb l should park and l tells him as close as possible without causing wear and tear to my lenders or q pedestrians limbs.
 After getting my license I drives through heavy traffic to sorta get used to it and it seems 1 met every traffic cop on the force. A big truck crowds me and to prevent my bus from being has-been I makes a changes to stop" A cop whistles for me to stop, which does some distance further on. Catching up to me he demands. Did you hear me whistler Yes" I answers. getting red in the map and confused on ac- count of seeing some pedestrians grinning. and it was terrible" He puts his paw over his mouth and kinda ch2kes like a chicken bone had got tangled with his tonsils or something. and asks how long have 1 had a license.
 "A long time" answers proudly. producing it. also blotter from my vanity case and drying the ink on my signature. Seeing it was 0. k. he waves me on. I no sooner gets into high when l comes to another stop signal. This was at one of those confusing streets where you can make q right turn even though the sign says to stop.

In two seconds less than a minute the gas wagons in back are footing their horns loud enough to make any drugstore cow boy snap outa a fog, no matter how dense.

No" an- swers. sticking up for my rights like the indignant taxpayers who write to the newspapers when they feels theirs have been infringed upon.

Baldwin Is Hopeful of
 Naval Agreement Yet

London, Oct. 27 R - Stanley Baldwin, prime minister. believes that failure to reach an agreement with the United States on naval matters is only temporary. He is sure that Great Britain has no in- tention of entering into naval building competition with America
 "Our policy in naval building is to go slow" Mir. Baldwin said in addressing great mass meeting in Albert hall in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the league of nations union. We have no inten- tion of competing with the United states and came to our decision to Eo slow long before We were asked to sign the Kellogg pact"

HO0yer's Policies

Washington. Oct. :7 (UP)-Her- bert Hoover and his advisers decid- ed today to make vigorous appeal for the farm vote, which may decide the election in final days Of the campaign.
 This took the form of a movement for . special session of congress to take up farm relief legislation. spon- sored by Senator Borah of Idaho with the approval of Hoover.
 After a conference with Hoover, the Idaho senator issued q statement urging d special session unless some action is taken at the coming short session. which he said should pass mea ures:
 1-lncreasing tariff duties upon farm products.
 2-Esta blishing a more satisfac- tory marketing system ''so as to en- able the farmers to market their products without the enormous ex- pense which is now necessarily in- cured"
 3-Settlng up tederal 1arm board.
 AS I see it. We ought to have better protection for the farmers products. we ought to have a better marketing system and we ought to have a farm board with authority and with funds to cooperate in dis posing of his surplus" Borah said.
 The campaign has developed this question and these issues 50 that there need not be any unnecessary delay. and agriculture would get the benefit of it for the coming year. There is every reason for special session and to my mind no sound reason against it"
 The program Borah outlined en- bodies Hoover's farm relief pro- posals The announcement of the movement was left to Borah. who is the chief stump speaker for Hoo- yer.
 lsorah Working Hard The Idaho senator returned yes- terday from his southern trip and
