Two years ago Nancy had pleased the

grape juice in the dead of Winter which
had a fresh grape flavor. They had

recipes which were favorites with her
friends that she threatened to write
cook book. Take this one for grape juice,
for instance. 1t was simplicity itself.
She put it up in quart jars. These were

 Drawing Britain to America

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 27 P, -Canada's increasing tendency to share Americans point of view when international affairs are at stake, is causing Great Britain to drift apart from Europe, Professor Andre Siegfried economic expert for the French foreign office, said today before members of the lnsti- ute of Politics
 Declaring the Canadian point of view in foreign politics is likely to be more American in its inspiration than it is British" Professor Sieg- fried said:

BOY BIKE THIEVES :.
 CAUGHT WITH LOOT
Police Believe Gang Worked as
 Business Syndicate

The first traces of youthful bicycle stealing syndicate were un- covered last evening by Motorcycle Officer Lotus E. Harper when he recovered two stolen wheels from the gang of operatives who make their headquarters on the lower reaches of Hartford avenue
 Six boys in the gang were ques- toned by the officer. and they aI- most cheerfully admitted taking the two bicycles as we'll as pilfering purses at Patterson park and steal street stores.
 One of the bicycles was taken from Patterson park, the boys said and the other from the streets of New Britain. Both wheels were so cleverly disguised that even their original owners would have a hard time to recognize them.
 The workings of the gang were simple. One of the boys would steal q wheel and bring it to the head quarters where other boys would tear it down, and. with parts from other bicycles which had besn stolen recently, the frame would be rebuilt using different wheels, pedals and handlebars. To finish their product the boys would give the now totally reconditioned wheel a coat of black paint, and thus cover up all traces of the original bicycle, much in the manner in which automobile syndicates wolk The only part of the bicycles which was not changed was the serial number, which is stamped into the frame.
 During the past two weeks almost 20 bicycles have been stolen from the streets of New Britain, accord ing to the reports at police heal quarters. Police believe that the re- covery of the two last night will lead to finding many more which boys have taken and disguised.
 At first it was thought that the boys might have stolen the wheels to get into the local endurance rid ing contests. but later, when it was seen how the bicycles were dis guised, this theory was abandoned.

MUMMY IS FOUND
IN UTAH CANYON
Cotton and Boomerang Also
Give Clue to Oldest Known
US. inhabitants.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 20.-Charles
A. Bernheimer, head OF the expedition
Of the American Museum, announced
yesterday discovery Of mummy. boil
Of cotton and boomerang in caves IN
the southeast corner of Utah.
Mr.. Bernheimer'S discoveries were an
nounced on his return from his seventh
expedition to the homes of the Basket
makers, the oldest known inhabitants OF
United States territory.
1.-The boomerang, as far as I know, is
the first such weapon to be discovered
in this country" Mr.. Bernheiner said.
1.-The boil of cotton is an astounding
phenomenon, since no one has yet
proved that cotton was used by the
Basketmakers in this region.
ut would indicate that possibly the
climate of this region may have been
different thousands of years ago. At
present, with its high altitude, the ter
ritory is far too cold for growing such
q crop"
I'm view of the claim heretofore made
by experts that the aborigines did not
use cotton, we consider as significant
our find of a cotton boil with seed and
lint.
In a Moki Canyon cave we found a
mummy of very early Basketmaker
type, covered with thick cedar bark
blanket tied with yucca fibre and hui
man hair
Mr.. Bernheimer said he concluded the
BaSketmakers were cannibalistic peo-
pie from a charred mass of human
bones he found in Arch Canyon.
