HRDL.ICKA HAS POOR SUCCESS
 THIS SEASON
Anthropologist Covers B.. 500 Miles Without Find
 ing Prehistoric Man

Having covered $500 miles along the Yukon between it's source and it's mouth since early last June in search of evidences to support his theory that man first came to the North American continent from Asia by the way of Alaska, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, internationally known anthropologist of the Smithsonian Institute, was a visitor in Juneau today, visiting with Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, curator of the Alas ka Museum.
 Dr. Hrdlicka said he was disap- pointed in the results of his sum- mer's work Nothing new was dis covered. He found a number of skulls and skeletons, well preserved but none over 150 years old. How ever, he has not lost hope and will continue his researches in the future, probably transferring the scene of his investigations to the lower Kuskokwim river
 Dr. Hrdlicka believes that proof of his theory lies covered deep on Alaskan soil. It may be, he told Curator Kashevaroff, that it will take some natural disturbance, an earthquake probably, to uncover it. There seems to be no place to be found that can be used as a starting point for his studies. He has had to go almost blind, hoping to stumble on something of value
 He was assisted this season by Dr. Jiri Maly, professor of Prague University. The two scientists la bored under severe handicaps all summer. The weather was wet and inclement. To this was added mosquitoes in almost unbelievable hordes. Many times they were forced to sleep in food caches built up on stilts along the river bank.
 They covered the district in a canoe, using an outboard motor for power. In crossing and recrossing the Yukon alone they travelled about 1,500 miles.

FIT. LEAVENWORTH, Kas. Sept

 Once the dread of every soldier awaiting court martial for viola tion of the Articles of war, the dis ciplnary barracks of the army are to be taken over by the Depart ment of Justice. The federal civil prison at Leavenworth has been so crowded in recent years that the government decided to annex the military prison at Fort Leaven- worth-the institutions are about two miles apart-and transfer the soldier convicts elsewhere. The military prison will care for 1900
 Incidentally, it will be the sec ond time the military prison has been used by civil authorities. The barracks were used as civil peni-

The Jamb0ree.
Manchester Guardian.0

The great Jamboree the Wirral Peninsula, held to celebrate the coming -of-age of the Boy Scouts movement has not been blessed with good weather. Rain turned the extensive camp into some thing resembling quagmire, and when the Arch bishop of Canterbury visited the park his car had to be drawn through the mud by tractor. Yet through all this unpeasantness and inconvenience the Scouts have been cheerful setting example to other people. They have had much to hearten them, much to set the seal of a great experience on the Jamboree. There the visit of the Prince of Wales. who stayed with them overnight and next day addressed them. He brought stirring mes sage from the King, the Archbishop preached a sermon that appealed at once to boyhood imagina- ton- and to maturitys responsibilities and encour- aging messages have also been received from the League of Nations and President Hoover. Decidedly the Jamboree has been a success

CLEVELAND CONTINUES MANAGER
 PLAN.

Cleveland voters the other day, for the third time defeated proposal submitted to them to abandon the City Manager and Commission plan of government for the old Mayor and City Council sys- tenn The movement for a return to the old system was led by formay Mayor of Cleveland and former Governor of Ohio Harry L. Davis, an astute political leader of the old school The campaign was a hot throughout and charges of graft and waste were freely made against City Manager Hopkins and the other municipal officials The Cleveland Plain Dealer led the fight for the retention of the Man ager- Commission plan and the defense of Manager Hopkins's Administration It declared emphatcaly that beyond question Cleveland has had under the manager plan the most economical businessike eff cient and satisfactory government in many years" The verdict of the people sustained the Plain Deal CTS position
 The people generally will be glad that the people of Cleveland have determined to give the Manager Commission form of government a thorough test It is important to other large cities that city of a million inhabitants should try out system that has worked well in smaller towns. If it is a sue in Cleveland it might serve to improve muni- cipal government in other large ctes. Chicago and Philadelphia, for instance, might get good govern ment some day.

A Moratorium on Grammar.
(New York Times.)


 Russia under the new regime plans to lay ruth less hands on the old language. In addition to schemes for simplifying the alphabet and spelling, campaign against grammatical rules" has now been launched by Soviet newspaper.
 The benefit is expected to accrue to the pro- letarat, particularly the young proletariat Arbi- trary rules of grammar have been obstacles" for the masses on the road to educational institutions and the reform newspaper, the organ of the young Bolshevik is ready to cast out grammar and ortho- graphy because these subjects deaden every creative effort among the young.
 Apparently the young Russians have no pity on an older generation which has suffered much to acquire it's rules of grammar. Nor do they con- sider that they will find grammar hard subject to dodge If the old rules banned, ungram- nautical speech will become standardized new rules will supplant the old, and the younger generation will still be hampered by language lessons All this effort to be free is reminiscent of the young psychology student who tried to avoid forming habits in order to keep from being slave to any.
 A practical argument advanced by the non- grammarians is that the change would mean sav- ing of $100O0000 year. The Soviet Commissioner of Education is said to favor it. To nation which has abandoned many old-fashioned things the scrap ping of obsolete textbooks would be considered a trifle.

 The disciplinary barracks have been operated as a reclamation in- stitution by the army, but the de- partment of justice announces that civil prison regulations will govern the group of federal convicts trans ferred. Under the reclamation plan Ia soldier prisoner who conformed to certain strict requirements was restored after a specified period to his regiment with a clean record.
 A part Of the plan was to offer vocational instruction. Prisoners operated a 64O-acre farm, took care of dairy herd of 84 cattle, and of 5000 chickens and 165 hogs
 Other activities for training in- .cluded a green house. an ice plant. a tailor shop, shoe and harness shop, machinery and blacksmith shops, a laundry and dry cleaning

H|GH-GRADE BOND
ISSUES IN ADVANCE
Money Rates Still Affect Gen.
eral L.ist--NeW U. S.
Group at Premium.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.


NEW YORK, September IL. In
some directions there were suggestions
today of a slight improvement in high
grade bonds, despite the firmness in
money and the prospect Of fairly stiff
rates until after the middle of the
month.
: Various railroad and public utility
mortgage issues reflect the scarcity OF
supply in fractional gains on small
transactions. The general average OF
the market however. continues to move
around the low of the year.
This situation is due to the cautious
building up of investment accounts in
corporation mortgages by the life In
surance companies, estates and private
investors. although the last named nave
been giving their attention mainly to
the tax free securities and were heavy
subscribers for the current issues OF
the United States Treasury As per
cent certificates. They are selling at
a small premium. They have had the
effect of reducing prices for other
Treasury notes selling at lower yield,
with the long term certificates and
Liberty bonds also off. This weeks
statement of the Federal Reserve Banks
shows a further reduction in invest
ments of $15,000,000.
Today's market was of about the
same proportions as those of the past
week and with considerable ratio
devoted to convertible bonds. About
25 per cent of the daily turnover at
present is in foreign issues, IN which
South Americans represent the greatest
volume of trading.
Convertibles were higher in sympathy
with stocks. International Telephone
41as and American Telephone AIS adj
vanced liz to 2l2 points, and for time
sold at the same price. Atchison 412s
were up 11a points. The new Chicago
&c Northwestern convertible 4as were
quoted in the outside market at 11O1s
bid. The conversion price is los. 1t is
expected stockholders will exercise their
rights and that in contrast with the
Southern Pacific convertible issues there
will be a few for public sale.
Again today the bulk of the new
financing was in the form of securities
eventually convertible into common
stocks. Several public utility 5l2 per
cent stocks are in the market and have
been we'll absorbed on the basis of their
appreciation prospects under the con-
version privileges.
