 Utilities

SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. 17.-Evi- dence so far obtained by the Fed eral Trade Commission investi- gating activities of electric pub- lie utilities, appears to President Coolidge to call only for state ac- ton and not Federal legislation

 He has not given much thought so far as to what his recommen- dations will be to Congress regard ing Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam but does not expect to diff fer from previous recommenda- tions. The only new element which the President sees in the situation as affects the Boulder Dam is the report of the Board of Engineering experts which will be submitted before December.

 Sand was the great enemy of the expedition. The weather was the worst eyer encountered. At times it was impossible to leave the tents. The automobiles were buried in sand drifts.
 Brigands set traps but the motorized caravan carried the expedition to safety.
 In the northwest section of the desert, a new fossil area, in an ancient lake. was found traces of the oldest inhabitants known as the dune dwellers. The country was more populated then and the climate was different. Trees and lakes were plentiful and there was a rainfall then.
 No trace was found of the ape like stem known as the Dawn Man" This tribe was later than the dune dwellers."
 The big thrill of the trip was the finding of prehistoric ani- nal, a colossus. Several bones, larger than the body of the mod ern man were found. Andrews said the beast was about twice the size of Jumbo, famous circus ele- phant, which weighed 10 tons.
