OLDEST SKULL
FOUND IN
CHINA
b. HARRY B. FLoRY

LONDON, Dec. I6 u.NS) =.
Hopes that the missing link,
which has baffled anthropolog istS
Tor centuries has. at last been
discovered were expressed by sci
entistS here today as the result
Of excavations by American and
Canadian psychologists near
Peking which result in the find.
ing OF the fOsSilized remains Of
ten men believed to have lived q
million years ago.
According to detailed dispatches
to the Daily Telegraph and other
London newspapers, the bones
were discovered by scientists rep
resentiIig the Rockefeller Founda'
ton and the Geographical Survey
Of China. Belief is expressed in
scientific circles here that the
discoveries excel IN interest and
Importance any previous findings.
Find Ten Skeletons
The ten skeletons. some Of
them apparently in . splendid
state OF preservation. were found
huddled together in an open
field at Chou Outien, some 30
miles outside of Peking. long
known to scientists as q fertile
field for anthropologica inVescl-
cations.
Among the discoveries was q
perfect skull unearthed by DR..
Davidson Black, Worid.renowned
Canadian paleontologist, which IS
said to prove that men, with
power Of thinking, building tools
and Of walking upright. existed
on this earth at the beginning Oh
the ice age.
In Perfect Order
This skull, comprising perfect
Uranium and facial bones, IS de-
scribed as the most important as
well as the most remarkable con-
tribution to the history OF human
development.
1t was found by the scientists
to have belonged to the "Pekins
man. or "Sinanthropus Pekinen-
sis" which the scientists believe
to- have been the direct ancestor
OF the human race.
. On the basis Of measurements
OF the frontal Uranium ana the
general proportions Of the skull
DR.. Black has reached the con
cluSion, the dispatches state. that
the 'ePekin man" was q being
who stood erect and dated as faI
back as the ice age, 100000
years ago.
The 10 skeletons, Of which the
all-important skull was q part
lay huddled together in a small
cave, indicating to the scientists
that they led community life.
Oldest Of All
Every British authority who
has either seen the skull or read
the scientists. reports, describe the
discovery as epoch-making, out.
rivalling all previous discoveries,
including those Of the Piltdown
man and the Neanderthal man,
which heretofore furnished the
chief evidence from which the de.
velopment Of man through the
ages was deduced.
Anthropologists here stressed
the Importance Of the discovery
OF an intact skull. stating that
previous finds which brought tc
light some characteristics Of hui
man antecedentS we're merely
scraps Of bone, teeth, portions Of
frontal bones or jaws. on which
were built up the imaginary
heads Of the forerunners Of the
existing human race.

ANCHORAGE ACTORS - PLEASE .SEWARD|TES
 EXCELLENT SH0NI

The Call of the Banshee, ' presented at the Liberty theater last evening BY an Anchorage cast of talented artists, under
 the auspices of the Seward Post of the American Legion, delighted the large attendance and fully coming up to expectations and preyieWs.
 There was N tense feeling of mystery throughout the perfor- nance which at times sent quiy- CTS, or a ripping sensation up ones back, and the mechanical effects, such as a ghost" soaring over the audience in pitch dark ness-was weird, to Say the least.
 An under-current of comedy relieved tense situations; the characters were portrayed remark ably well. Space does not permit at this time to describe properly the cleyernesS depicted and other detail but it can safely be said Director Maurice Sharp, and his able cast, gave Seward one of the best amateur performances 1t has ever been their pleasure to have witnessed.
 Seward Post, No. N. and its officers, are also to be congratu- lated for their action in bringing the show t0 Seward. From a financial standpoint it is doubt ful if they come out "even with the board, butt they have the satisfaction of winning the plau- dlts of Seward citizens and yisi- tors, in having made many people happy.
 The cast departed todav for Anchorage.

TO proceed slowly until the Federal Farm
Board has definitely promulgated its

In prepared statement the commit
tee says, in part:
This committee feels that as grain
covers such large territory and as
there are apparent differences of opinion
between many of the largest existing
grain co-operatives that It will prob
ably be some time before the Federal
