BARRYMORE TO
WE'D DAUGHTER
OF old STAR
Dolores Costello to Be Bride
of Noted Film Head
liner.
Bn United Press

By United Press
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. 21.-
Romance today had claimed two of
the movie colony's most populaf
members.
Arm in arm Dolores Costello, 81
year-old daughter of the pioneer of
the screen, Maurice Costello, and
John Barrymore appeared at the
Los Angeles county license bureau
yesterday to file notice of intention
to marry.
Miss Costello, who attained screen
fame under the tutelage of hei
fiance, was content to smile while
Barrymore did the talking. He said
he was Al, and had been married
three times. Miss Costello said she
was 81 and never had been wed.
Under the laws of California, the
two cannot marry until Saturday 7,
but friends revealed the marriage
probably would take place on that
day or soon afterwards.
Hadn't Heard of Divorce
The news of the announcement
caused considerable comment in the
movie colony, where it was believed
Barrymore still was married to the
former Mrs. Leonard Thomas, novel
ist, who writes under the name of
Michael Strange"
The novelist recently left New
York for Europe. Her departure
was followed by statement from
Barrymore, denying that there had
been divorce.
Yesterday, however, Barrymore
with Miss Costello, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Miss Dolores Costello and Mr..
John Barrymore have applied for
a license to marry. The former
Mrs. John Barrymore, who now is
abroad, has been separated from her
husband for several years and re-
Gently obtained divorce from him.
Starred Together
Friends here believed the Barry
mores might have been divorced
secretly in Mexico.
The announcement brought to a
climax reports that had circulated
ever since Barrymore, as star, took
Miss Costello, and elevated her
along with himself to considerable
fame in the picture, THE Sea
Beast"
Following that success, Barrymore
insisted upon having the blonde Miss
Costello as his partner in a sue &.
ceSSion of other films.

AGE-OLD TRACES
OF man FOUND
IN COBB DESERT
Roy Chapman Andrews Is
Successful in Search
for Evidence.
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LONDON, Nov. 21.-Evidence that
human beings lived in the Cobb
desert 100000 to 25,OOO,O0O years
ago was described today by Roy
Chapman Andrews, noted American
explorer.
Andrews described in a press in
terview the wonders discovered by
the joint British American ex-
pedition to Mongolia, which he
headed.
Andrews, on his way to the United
States, said the expedition spent
eight years in the Cobb desert
proving that Mongolia was che great
center of distribution for the animal
and reptile life of prehistoric ages.
Finds Stone Age Traces
In addition to remains of marvel
GUS animals of prodigious size, the
expedition found traces of human
habitation in the stone age, Andrews
said.
Evidence indicated, he revealed,
that Stone Age men densely in
habited parts of the desert. They
subsisted chiefly on birds and frogs.
No human bones were discovered,
but many implements of the Stone
Age were found.
They included bone scrapers,
spearheads, jasper and stone knives,
arrowheadS, and pieces of crudely
decorated pottery.
Andrews said he believed the
earliest human evolution occurred in
Mongolia.
The expedition penetrated the
waterlesS, tracklesS desert of Central
Asia in motor cars, working in a
district a thousand miles west of
Pekin.
MaStodOn Is Found
Among the great finds was the re-
mains OF a maStodon dating back
probably 100000 years.
Andrews described the discovery
of the skeleton of huge animal
of terrifying appearance, 25 feet
long, IA feet high at the shoulder,
and with 12-foot neck.
The mastodon'S jawbones were
eight to nine feet long, shaped like
a huge coal scoop. The beast had
two fiat plates of teeth within
the jaws and a tremendous skull.
1t was equipped with two lower
jaws.
The expedition discovered the re-
mains of titano there resembling
a rhinoceros, with a skull shaped
like the cantle of an American
pack-saddle. The nose was up
turned in the form of trumpet.
Andrews said he found dinosaur
eggs in which the embryonic skel-
etons of prehistoric monsters could
be distinguished.
Andrews said he hoped to have
enough mastodon bones to present
a complete skeleton to the New
York Museum of Natural History.
He will sail for the United States
tomorrow aboard the Leviathan.

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 24,-The ra-
ito between the perpendicular and hori-
zontal foreign heavyweights in this
country remains the same as the result
of the American debut of the two latest
importations.
Max Schmelling Of Germany caused
something of sensation in Madison
Square Garden last night by not only
remaining on his feet through eight
furious rounds of battling against Joe
Monte of Boston. but by coming out with
knockout victory.
Johnnie Widd of Sweden, however,
preserved the balance by assuming the
horizontal position after only two and a
half minutes of wild punching with
Arthur de Kuh of Italy.
Schmelling made hit with the Gar
den fans by showing unusual speed for
185-pounder coupled with a lot of
boxing ability and a good punch. Monte
seldom could land solid blow, while the
German hit hard and often enough to
send him down for count Of nine in
the fifth before knocking him out in the
eighth. Before the end of the battle
ringsiders we're suggesting bout be-
tween Schmelling and Con O'Kelly. fast
and fashy Irishman, who preceded him
to this country by few weeks and has
won his two starts in an impressive
fashion.
Widd came out of his corner against
the huge Italian failing both fists like
frightened small boy tackling much
larger opponent and he was still swing
ing when the referee helped him Back
without count after the second knock
down.

White Has Odd
Putting Stroke
BY SOL METZGER.

Jack White, former British open

putterS of all time in British golf,
gets his results on short puts in an
odd way. Jack gets we'll over the
ball in the position have Sketched
aim, with the ball off his left heel
and his weight shifted well forward
on that foot.
His head Is down over the ball
and both his elbows are held close
to his sides. Odd part about his
stance is its width. His bali is not
only played of his left heel. but 1t
Is on line running from the toes
OF his right foot to the hole.
Jack takes his time over these
short puts and advises no one to
hurry them. But the oldest thing
about them is his manner of strok-
ing the ball. His backswing Is
quite short and abbreviated, his for
ward one has no follow through.
That seems contrary to all the golf
we have ever been taught. as fol

professional We ever met. He
actually stops the club right after
contact and most deciSively.
There is one point about this tap

read should remember. White does
