 Our broadcasting system has plenty of critics, but there is fairly general agreement that it has points of superiority the organization, want lof it. in many other countries. This, writes our London correspondent is the strong opinion of the members of the Canadian Wireless Commission who have been in London for some time examining our methods, and it is expected that on their return they will recommend the setting up of national system in Canada British lines. The wireless in Canada is comparatively in it's infancy. There are less than a quarter of a million receiving licenses, and one of the biggest transmitting agents is the Canadian National Railway which sends out matter which is received by passengers the trains they travel The Canadian authorities are anxious that broadcasting shall develop on orderly lines.

SCIENTISTS FIND
ANCIENT BONES
Remains of Mastodon Are
Dug Up in California.
By Science Service
WASHINGTON

By Science SefD1c6
WASHINGTON, Feb. The
molsr teeth of mastodon, a gigan-
tic extinct elephant, together with
fragments of a tusk and pieces of
ribs and other bones, have been
found % feet beneath the ground
level, near Menlo Park, Cal, about
twenty-eig miles southeast of San
Francisco. DR.. Eliot Blackwelder,
geologist of Stanford university, just
has reported the find to the Journal
of the Washington Academy of
Sciences. With the exception of one
tooth, the bones have been placed
in the university museum.
Because a human skull was found
buried under the Stanford campus
some years ago, at about the same
depth, DR.. Blackwelder hints at a
possible great age for this relic,
saying, "the suggestion of contem-
poraneity is not to be dismissed
lightly.
However, DR.. j. w. Gidley of the
United States National Museum, is
inclined to look somewhat askance
on claims of such great age for hui
man skull.
"If this maStodon is of late Mo
Gene or early Plicen cage, as DR..
Blackwelder says it is, that sets it
back some two or three million
years." he told Science Service.
"And we have no evidence that man
has been on earth that long"

Admits Check SWindIes in

If he served a day in jail for
every fraudulent check he has
cashed, Joseph l.. Parent, 33, of
Galveston, Tex, would spend the
rest of his life in Jail, he admitted
to Detectives Ed Tut and Charles

Parent glibly ratified off the names
of thirty-five or forty cities in which
he has worked his check swindle
scheme and described his method,
the detectives said.
The last city in which he worked
was Louisville where he cashed a
$50 check at the Setback hotel,
according to the officers. He like
ly will be sent there for trial.
Tut and Jordan arrested Parent
late Wednesday at the Claypool.
They recognized one of his aliases
at the registration desk. Here 1 am
there is no use of me saying any
thing, boys" he said as the de-
tectiyes walked into his room.
Parent, according to the detec-
tives, described his method as fol-
lows:
Upon arriving in city he opens a
bank account by depositing a
fraudulent check on a far distant
city. Then he would lease a room
on the pretext of opening up some
sort of office and order an elegant
outfit of furniture from some local
dealer. Presenting his lease for the
office and his order for the furni-
ture as evidence of his reliability,
he would cash $50 or $75 check at
his hotel and skip.

Boy Radio Amateur Talks
to Bw~d,s Antarctic Aids
Youth Achieves Fame in
Ether Field Because He
Got Up Early.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

FALLS CHURCH, Va, Feb. AT
8 O'Clock each night Edward Red
ington's mother tells him to get off
to bed, which means that the boy
must desert his homemade wireless
set by 10 at the latest.
But Mrs. Redington allows her IS
year-old son to rise as early as he
likes and 6 o'clock in the morning
finds him back with the dots and
dashes.
1t was thanks to her enforcement
of Benjamin F'ranklin's sleeping
system that Edward achieved fame
by establishing two-way radio COM
munication with the Byrd expedti-
ion in the Antarctic soon after s
o'clock on a recent morning.
Picked Up Base Ship
Otherwise, one fears, Edward
might have been up all night and
sleeping soundly, at the. moment of
his golden oportrnity.
That was not the first time young
Redington has picked up the base
ship, City of New York. Some sew
enteen or eighteen times before, he
says, he had received her signals,
But it was the first chance he had
to talk back.
Redington is a member of the
American Radio Relay League. He
received his license six months ago.
1t was in Q-S-T, the leagues mag
azine, that he obtained most of the
cope which enabled him to con-
Struct the set with. which he has
talked to the Byrd party.
Works Hard to Learn
It was the issue for November,
1928 one might add for amateurs,
which contained all the latest in
formation for 1929 construction
work, Edward supplemented that
with numerous inquiries among his
friends and considerable reading
elsewhere.
Edward works in his bedroom,
from which his thirty fve-foot
aerial is strung to a nearby tree.
Ills antenna arrangement permits
him to transmit and receive at the
same time, allowing the operator
to whom he is sending to break in
and ask for a repeat if necessary.
He is trying each morning to re-
connect with the Byrd operator.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE
special house prison investigating
committee recommended today that
the entire federal prison system be

1t urged passage of legislation to
erect new penal institutions to re-

The committee report did not
mention allegations that Mrs. Mabel

United States attorney general, de-
tailed undercover agents to investi-

The report recommended erection
Of two new federal penitentiaries,

ANUuDlc more common among

B1 United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. Flat foot
is more common among american
women than among men, according
to statistics gathered by DR.. Will
liam S. Sadler, director of the Chi
cago Institute of Research and Di-
agnosis.
And the situation is likely to be-
come more and more aggravated,
these statistics show, unless Amer
lean women will cease toeing out,
and began to walk, Indian fashion,
with their toes pointing in.
DR.. Sadler, analyzing his studies
in the American Magazine, says:
"A reason why women suffer more
from fiat feet is because they toe
out more than men, both in walk
ing and standing, and this places
g. great strain upon the arches of
the feet. The persistent practice
OF toeing in, standing and walking
Indian fashion, and the daily exer-
else of the leg muscles, rising on

LONDON, Feb. Whether to
knit or not to knit during meetings
of the London County Council, is
y question that has been decided in
the negative.
During an all-night session of the
council, Miss Isabel Macdonald,
daughter of the ex-prinle minister,
called the chairman'S attention to
the fact that she and other Labor
members of the council had been
observing Dame Hudson LyaI with
q certain amount of envy, because
while they had been restlessly sit
ting hour after hour with idle hands,
Dame LyalI had been contentediy
plying knitting needles.
After long consultation with the
clerk of the council, the chairman
announced that knitting was out of
order and asked Dame Lyall to stow
away her needles and ball of wooden
yarn.

APACHES MAKE
LAST STAND IN
WAR TO DEATH
Grim Man Hunt Is on in
Mountain WiIdS of
Mexican Border.

BIZ Untted Press
DOUGLAS, Ariz, Feb. ;. -
Nearly half century after
Geronimo led his marauding Apache
Indians down into old Mexico just
prior to his capture by General
Miles, band of direct descendants
of his bloodthirsty warriors are
making their last stand against
civilization today
In the wild and desoIa5e Sierra
Madre mountains south of the
border here the war to externi-
nate the redskins is on.
Indian fighters are on the trail
again and the fighting is being
staged much as it was in the frontier
days of the southwest two genera
tons ago.
The Mexican government has
decreed that the reign of terror
caused by the Apaches' pillaging
raids on peaceful American and
Mexican ranches along the border
must cease.
Posse Out to Kill
To this end it has commissioned
a posse which set out recently from
Aqua Prieta-just across the inter-
national boundary from Douglas
to kill or capture every member of
the band. Francisco Fimbres. a
rancher is the leader of the posse.
The scenes of the shifting battle
which would make a. western
movie thriller look tame-are laid
from forty to sixty miles south
east of Douglas in the Bavispe river
valley and extend back in the Sierra
Madres to the boundary line be-
tween the Mexican states of Chi
huahua and Sonora.
More than a spirit of adventure
fires Fimbres as leader of the party
determined to kill or capture the
Indians.
1t is spirit of vengeance, nursed
for two years, against the redskins
who murdered his wife and kid
mapped his child. Above all, he hopes
to ind the boy safe and sound.
Determined on Vengeance
1t was with this motive that he
persuaded Governor Fausto Topete
for authority to stage the thrilling
man-hunt.
The governor granted this on
recommendation of Rogerio Loreto,
president of the city of Aqua Prieta.
No one knows definitely what is
going on back in the narrow noun
tain passes today as Fimbres' party
pursueS the redskins, but reports
brought out by runners say that en-
gagementS have taken place far back
in the mountain fastnesS.
This is a wild and uncivilized
country and believed to be the
refuge of many American criminals.
as searching parties there have
found old magazines, newspapers
and tobacco cans around abandoned
camp fires. It is believed that out
laws have fled there from the south
west.
