around a cool million dollars which
the city doesn't have TO spend on
such things right now.
The next best thing TO aid In re-
lieving traffic congestion is the
widening OF street intersections,
giving cars more room in which to
perform fancy curves and the
tricky maneuver some motorists
are in the habit of making.
The widening, Of course, means
that the pedestrian will have a long
er stretch across which he must
sprint. but with years Of constant
practice behind him, this added
distance shouldn't be Sc bad.

EXCAVAT0RSF| FIND NE0[|THIC VILLAGE Stone Hand Mills Unearthed
 Among Ancient Ruins

Cologne, Germany, Nov. 21 P>- An entire Neohthic village on the outskirts of Cologne has been un- earthed by the Wallraf-RichartZ museum excavators It is the first of it's kind to be found in Germany, and probably one of the earliest in the entire world.
 The Neolithic objects consists mainly of stone hand mills, flint knives, flint arrow heads and hand shaped pottery. That the pottery is purely Neolithic was determined by the fact it had been made before the potters wheel was known and shows characteristic signs, being burnt in the open fire.
 It is believed these remains not only are the earliest in Germany but in the whole world.
 London prehistoric experts have arrived here to investigate the dis coveries which were made on the site of ancient ramparts now form ing a public park.
 It is planned to reconstruct the entire village as far as possible.
 The length of the village is $50 feet. but the breadth has not vet been fully determined as only two north to south strips, each 5o feet wide. have been cleared.
 The houses were irregular in shape. and arranged along curving streets.

NEW YORK RABbIS PROTEST ON WINE
Jewish Leaders Insist On Re,
 moving "Humiliations"

Washington, Nov. 21 (UP)-Thc subject of wine, already before pro- hibition authorities in connection with the marketing of a new Cali 1ornia grape product, was brought 10 attention again by a protest from New York rabbis against the pres ent methods of handling liquor use1 for sacramental purposes. <
 Call Upon Doran
 A committee representing 500 orthodox rabbis of New York calle1 yesterday upon James M Doran, commissioner for industrial alcohol, with a plan for allotment of sacra- mental wine. They suggested syna gogues with less than 300 seats get s450 gallons a year and larger syna- gogues proportionate amounts.
 The rabbis consider present re- strictions a reflection upon the dis nity of the church and the commit tee declared d definite plan would remove what they described as hu- initiation in obtaining wine for re- 1igious observances. They are will ing, they said, to accept less than the law permits if the smaller amount can be distributed without friction.
 There were no new moves in the explanation of the prohibition bu- reau's stand on the legality of the new grape concentrate which be- comes wine after removal to the home. Neither was there ampli- fication Of reports that gangster5 had threatened California grape growers There was, however, an unofficial explanation that the gang ster story may have spread as a neat publicity plan, getting somewhat out of hand in the process.
 New Plans Continue
 The newly intensified efforts of drys to mobilize public opinion on the side of prohibition continued both at the Anti-Saloon league and the Methodist board of prohibition and public morals, National con- terences are planned by these groups 10 coincide with the first days of the new congress, which convenes Dec. l.
