IOWA CITY, Iowa, December 30
BY the shells of snails, their principal
diet, Prof George F. Collie of Beloit
College claims to have traced the
Southern European races back to the
Africa Of prehistoric times.
Collie told the convention of the
American Archaeological Association he
had discovered evidence that ancestors
of the present inhabitants of the Medi-
terranean's northern shores were driven
out of Africa by the advancing sands
of the Sahara Desert
He found huge heaps of snail shells,
he said, along old river beds in North
ern Algeria. SnailS were believed to
have been their main diet. Among the
shells were found fragments of skele-
tons closely resembling those of the
Gro Magnon man in Europe, Collie said.

A pretty three-cornered fight
for more time on the air has de-
veloped among New York stations
and came to a head in a hearing
before the Federal Radio Com
mission today. Baltimore Is
drawn into the muddle by rea-
son Of the fact that the 6O0-kilo-
Cycle frequency occupied by
WCAO is involved.
Stations wMAC, wNYC and
WGBS are the stations engaged
in the mix-up. and all three Of
them want to have full time on
the air. WMAC and WNYC are
dividing time on $40 kilocycleS
and until a short time ago.
Happy Walkers orchestra at the
Lotus" Is planning big time Fri
day night and most Of 1t will go
on the air. It is a reception to
Robert L. Ripley, the cartooniSt,
during which the theme song, BE
ieve It or Not" will be heard for
the first time in Washington.
RIP" is the first penpuSher to
have a theme tune dedicated to
his comic strip. incidentally, the
cartoonist has contract for ra-
dio work, Is minutes a night, once
q week, for which he will collect
$1,000 weekly. And believe it or
not he won't have to use pencil
or crayon to entertain the air au-
dience.
Rudy Vallee will have Marilyn
Miller as his guest star tonight
on the Fleischmann Hour. The
ziegfeld star will sing "Look for
the Silver Lining" and Who"
from her recent picture.
When Rudy comes to Washing
ton next week he has agreed to
an afternoon broadcast to be sent
out by WRC on Tuesday.
The Department of Commerce
by way of establishing an avia-
ton weather reporting service,
now has in operation q, 2.kilo-
watt radio ground stations located
along the national air routes,
and Is more stations are in
process Of construction. When
these stations are completed, they
will provide every section of the
United States in which regular
flying takes place, with half
hourly weather reports, as well
as with communication service.
InaSmuch as these stations, &C.
cording to j. E. Smith, president
of the National Radio Institute,
washington, D. c., are placed at
approximately 20O-mile intervals
along the airways, while there are
hundreds Of airports not located
along the national air routes,
much still remains to be done by
way Of providing two-way com
munication facilities for air
transport pilots. In fact, many
opportunities are presented in
the virgin field Of aviation radio,
which in time is certain to de-
velop into a branch Of radio
comparable with marine radio
service.

Henry Ford's New Cure for The
Ills of Humanity

Henry Ford has a new cure for business depression
He has q new cure for the unemployment terror. he
has a new cure for low wage schedules. He says the
people need more bathtubs and an adequate supply q
water with a kick in II. He has the figures. Nine out
OF ten Americans arc without bathtubs, and the ma
tional water supply IS without q kick.
That is. 1t IS impure and unpalatable, rank TO the
taste and poisonous to the innards.
In days remote the scientists and ~urlifters said the
same thing about red likker. They said the same
thing about wines and beer. Now where DO We go
from here?
Henry has given to the American world a new
issue: "A bathtub for every household
for individuals with scant purses, and a bathtub for
every room for the rich of the leisure class and the
rich who do not scorn labor"
1t gees without saying that many Of the richest Of
Americans are as actively engaged in business today
as they were when their pocket books were starved
and the owners Of the books fighting for a place il
the sun.

When Texas entered the union it retained all its

and sold by the state to citizens. Under existing law
a person ferreting out such vacancies may file there
on and the land commissioner is bound TO sell TO such
applicants. Prior right Of persons whose land includes
vacancies to purchase these vacancies from the state
Is advocated by Ross S. Sterling, in the run-off with

Atty. Gen. r. +. Bobbitt never hesitated. After

people he was the first to jump into the arena for
the August finals declaring his undying opposition to
'Fergusonism and all its forms and shapes and de-

mother in 4 humble home in a lit
tie hamlet OF Scotland who back IN
the middle Of last century was rear
ing even sons. Every one OF these
became q man OF eminence and
usefulness IN the world, and every
one OF them traced the determin-
ing influence OF his life to this
gcdly and devoted mother.
Nor are these influences always
the influences Of the mother. OF OF
the mother alone. Sometimes the
ideals and influences Of the father
become the determining factor n
the lives OF the children, especially
where the mother shares these
Ideals and influences. There is a
striking illustration Of this in the
family OF DR.. Graham Taylor,
founder OF the Chicago Commons.
and for many years associated with
the work Of that settlement.
Dr.. Taylor has recently written
MS autobiography under the title
pioneering on Social Frontiers"
This autobiography he dedlc- ! %
MS comrades and colleagues and to
the members OF his family each
one OF whom" he says, has con-
trlbuted to and shared in lies
whole endeavor."
Refused 20 Move Away
! have never known the family
Of Graham Taylor, but some years
ago ! came across an interesting
fact TO which this dedication gives
added significance. ! was told that
when d.. Tay!or's family was grow
ing up around him some OF his
friends said TO him that il was all
right for him to live in this social
settlement and do his work there
il an undesirable neighborhood, but
that ne ought not TO be bringing ID
his family under these conditions
but ought to be seeking for them
more attractive and favorable sur
roundings.
But Dr. Taylor brought up his
family in the environment OF his
own ideals. He inculcated il his
children his own outlook OF love
and service. and ! have been told
that every member OF that family
turned out in every way cred.table
70 the father and guided them IN
his own footsteps.
Records like that have their place
along side the story OF Ha--ah and
Samuel in that larger Bible that
is always being written in the X
perience Of those who seek the
way Of God.

II you would drive q taxi well
Avoid appearance crude:
When zooming through the streets +,

Just watch your pulchritude.
Remember that when In a cab
A passenger doth ride,
The sight OF clothing rather drab
Will leave him mortified.

Look spic and span and peril
Arrange your collar carefully
And button up your shirt!

And in your mirror note

And don't taSe off your coatI
Remember that when speeding thru
The city on one wheel
And barely missing lamp-posts, you
Should foster sex appeal.

A passenger wants pretty ties
Around the drivers neck.
Use scented soap three times a day
And know when motor fails
A passenger won't mind delay

Shave in the morning and at night;
Oil carefully your hair;
Keep your complexion lly-white
And change your underwear.
Remember as a truck you biff
and upset IN the street,
A passenger won't mind II II
You're looking clean and neat.
Know well that II you overturn
And hruise q rider much
He won't care II he can discern
a skin he loves to touch!
Forgot not If you lose control
and some poor hiker slay,
He will not mind II. on the whole
II you are CARRIED okay.
II isn't how you drive or where
Or what you say or do;
The test is what. good sir, you wear
And II your ties askew.
