FIRST TRACE OF ANIMALS
 30o,OOO,OO0 YEARS AGO

WASHINGTON, oct. 1J. --- The earliest record of animal life upon earth goes back more than 300 million years, short time com pared with the POGO million years that astronomers estimate the earth has existed.
 These earliest animal records come from the Cambrian rocks. Older rocks are known to geolo- gists, and in the other rocks are abundant evidence of aquatic plant life
 But" says Dr. c. E. Resser of the United States National Mu- scum, thus far no undoubted ami nal fossils have been discovered in -Cambrian rocks anywhere in the world and geologists are specu- lating as to the meaning of this. " Dr. Resser is quoted in Car negie Institution report dealing with the grand canyon of the Colo rado, where ancient rocks are eX- posed down into the Algonikan pe- riod which preceded the Cambrian.

KETCHIKAN MAN AFTER WINNER
 OF LOCAL BOUT
Frank Mix, First City Heavy, Wants to Meet
 Butler or Collier

Frank Mix, heavyweight con- tender of Ketchikan, has issued, through the Ketchikan Aerie of Eagles, challenge to the winner of the Butler Collier tilt here Satur- day night, it was announced today by Kenneth Junge, matchmaker for the American Legion of this city. The First City Eagles want to stage the bout sometime during the week beginning November g, Junge was informed by H. G. Mccain, Chair man of the boxing committee of that organization.
 Mix, who is an Indian, has built up a fine reputation in the ring at Ketchikan. He has beaten everything to come his way, win- ming from such men as Freddy Mack and Joe Manila over the kayo route. He is a big fellow, weighing over 18O pounds, young and ag- gressive.
 Butler and Collier both are con- fident of winning Saturday. Each man has trained diligently and seems to be in the finest condition of his career. Butler is apparently a slight favorite to win with local fans, but Collier has many sup porters..

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 16.- Keeping up with the times in transportation, an airplane- motor bus "hookup" has been inaugurated here that cuts approximately three days from the overland travel time between the midwest and Pacific Coast.

 of years ago, and a survivor Of the days when Ed Delehenty, Nap La joie and Mickey Doolan were among the stars of the Phils, told one" during the worlds series.
 It had Harry Coveleskie, one of the famous Coveleskie brothers Of the Pennsylvania coal regions, as it's central figure. Harry was aouthpaw pitcher who had at one time gained a reputation as a giant killer" by reason of his ability to tame the members of the house Of McGraw.
 Harry was pitching tight game for us,' recalled Billy. Tt doesn't matter who we were playing, bui they got a runner on first ant Harry, to my amazement, went right on about his pitching while this bird stole second in a walk and then stole third without the catcher having a chance to throw him out.
 "The runner then scored on a sacrifice fly and we lost the game by one run. I was pretty sore and I called Covelskie over.
 T asked him how about that man stealing two bases on him, while he was taking a full wind up He replied: What guy?' Why, I shot back, that guy who was on first in such and such an inning and got around to third, in position to score what proved the winning Yun.' Nobody told me he was there, answered Coveleskie.
 That had me on the ropes but I called over Doolan and Knabe, the second base pair and I said: Hey you guys, the next time this Polack is pitching and man gets on second or third base, tell him about it. We don't want any sec rets on this ball club"
 One of the most enjoyable fea-
 
 lures of the pre-world's series dop- ings was the way about 99 per cent of the experts decided Lefty Grove was the one and only logical choice for the opening game, then in some panic at the eleventh hour decided it was too logical to be true and cast about in some frenzy to fathom the master mind of Mack, with the result that Walberg, Shores, Mahaf- fey. Quinn, Earnshaw and Rommel all were nominated in order to cover up"
 Mack, they argued, had crossed LID everybody the year before by starting Howard Ehmke in the opening and in each succeeding came, selecting any pitcher but the one expected by the experts.
 This time Mack's big surprise was in doing the logical thing. To one of the writers afterward, Mack said:
 Why did you make such mis- take as to think l would start Rommel? Just put yourself in my position. had to start Grove. We wanted to win that first game and he was the man to do it."
 When the As won the first series battle with five hits, all extra bases, two homers, two triples and a dou- ble, even the statistician of sta tisticians, Al Munro Elias, was stumped.
 T not only can find nothing in worlds series play to touch it, Elias remarked, but I can locate noth- ing of the sort in the regulas sea- son records. For once I must ad- init I am summed but it's a rec

block of Lehigh Valley, but sold it to
L. F. Lcree, who later disposed of it TO
the Pennsylvania Railroad under the
arrangement described Friday by Presi-
dent w. W. Atterbury in the hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Inasmuch as the Van Sweringen in
terests are most friendly to the New
York Central, it is not believed there
will be any strong objection on their
part to giving up the Lackawanna, al
though in the Interstate Commerce
road was allocated to the Nickel Plate,
in spite of the fact that it already held
control of the Erie.
Just what the attitude of the Penn
sylvania Railroad will be, however, to-
ward complete control of the Reading
by the Baltimore g. Ohio remains to be
seen. From time to time there have
been indications that the Pennsylvania
would oppose such an arrangement, on
the basis that 1t would rob 1t of a large
amount of traffic which it interchanges
with the Reading.
Opposition to Transfer.
Strong opposition to the transfer of
Reading to the Baltimore & Ohio has
come from Philadelphia interests. How
ever, the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has gone on record, not only in its
official plan. but on other occasions. as
favoring the control and management
of the Reading by the Willard road.
Eventually this application is expected
to be granted. It. now seems nearer
consummation than ever, with the New
York Central definitely preparing to
balance It's loss in Reading holdings

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TORONTO, May 24.-Like the United
States, Canada does not foresee any
great improvement in business before
the middle of August. In the first place
everything depends upon an improve
ment in the Dominions export trade,
upon good crops and upon some remark
able strikes in the mineral areas, where
so much money is at present expended
in exploration. And, secondly, Canada S
return of prosperity will be delayed
until greater business activity returns
to the United States.
AT present the second quarter seems
likely to show greater prosperity than
the first three months in certain lines.
For instance, retail trade shows greater
activity in the warmer weather, al
though wholesale buying is marked by
the same cautiousness that has charac-
terized such business since the begin
ming of the year.
The warmer weather in the West
during the present week and the heavy
although scattered rains, have helped
the crops N many prairie districts.

ANSWER IN STEEL
MERGER SUIT FILED
Bethlehem Company Denies
Any Attempt to Force Unio,?
With Competitor.
BY the Associated Press.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, May "a
Bethlehem Steel Corporation and
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., today
filed separate answers in Common Pleas
Court here to suit seeking to enjoin
the merger of the two companies. The
answers were filed only a few minutes
before the legal time limit expired.
Bethlehem admitted that merger nego-
tiations began in January and February
this year, with James A. Campbell and
H. G. Dalton negotiating with Eugene
Grace, Bethlehem president. Campbell
is chairman of Sheet g. Tube: Dalton
is director of both Sheet and Tube
and Bethlehem, and partner in Pick
ands, Mather & Co.. Ore firm which
he contracts with both companies.
Campbell and Dalton exercised their
own independent judgment" Bethle-
hens answer said, adding that Dalton
financial interest in Sheet & Tube
greatly exceeded his interest IN Beth
lehem."
Bethlehem denied that its record for
earnings has been irregular or that
Bethlehem common is regarded as
highly speculative" The company said
the employment of Price, Waterhouse
g. Co. as auditors was not suggested by
Bethlehem.
The final basis of exchange, one and
one-third shares OF Bethlehem for one
of Sheet & Tube, was more favorable to
Sheet g. Tube than the basis suggested
by the auditors, Bethlehem said.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May 24.-Nod-
ding heads Of wheat as far North as
Nebraska indicate the near approach of
harvest. Experts draw various conclu-
sions as to the early maturity of the
plant and complaints that the stand
Is far less encouraging than was indi-
Gated earlier are common, But there
will be fairly generous crop, and its
ultimate output may improve in the
next monitor, of course, what hap
pened last year, sudden deterioration,
may eventuate.
In the meanwhile, the producer Is
merely waiting, and the grain farmer
has been joined by the live stock raiser
in being affected by the low price level
of products. The sliding downward OF
the live stock market has brought some
disbursement to those interested, but
considerable portion of the feeders
had been sold before the recent depres-
sion in the market.
It is felt that If the agricultural
country can get through the next go
days, by which time the income from
the grain marketing will be felt. there
should be an easier money market and
improvement in trade. The first OF Au-
gust is tentatively set for betterment,
with the expectation that by that time
whatever benefit Is to come from con-
gressional action will be felt and posi-
bly, some improvement in the price lev
els of production from foreign demand.

OUTLOOK FOR MOTION

appearance of being depression proof.

1.-TWO factors may easily cause exag-
gerated reports of decreased attend

decrease occasioned by the general
tendency at this time of the year for
all people to seek recreation in the open
air. The second is that this month
opens the trading season between the
producers and exhibitors for the book
ing of pictures to be shown during the

Jed Harris Career.
TT will be just five years in octob

TT will be just five years in october
since Jed Harris saw his first play
produced in New York. Then but 25
Harris had behind him six semesters at
Yale, two years experience as a Broad
way publicist, another year and a half
of hoboing in New England and the
Middle West and reportorial service on
two of the New York theatrical weeklieS
This is the Jed Harris who brings
"Mr. Gilhooley," with Helen Hayes and
Arthur Sinclair, to the Shubert Belasco
tomorrow night. It is his first produc-
ton of the new season, and it is sched-
uled to open in New York at the Broad
hurst Theater September 80.
Since that october day in 1925 when
he set up the ribald comedy Weak
Sisters" at the Booth Theater on q
modest outlay Jed Harris has seen his
professional calendar colored with nota-
BILE successes, such as Broadway, y
Spread Eagle" "Coquette," THE Royal
Family" THE Front Page" Serena
Blandish" and distinguished revival
last season of Uncle Vanya."
All his plays reflect a judicious sense
of casting, as they do his expert eye
for direction, pace, movement and
mood. The variety of his productions
indicate his versatility and his enthusi-
asm for contrasting exhibits. Mr.. Har-
ris' first ambition was to be a writer,
but the tediousneSs and long-poSt-
poned rewards of that pursuit discour-
aged him, and he hit upon the theater
as the field of his operations, because
he early detected that there he would
have but slight competition.
