Billerica, Mass, Nov. g (UP) -- The Lake Michigan region is pie tured as the onc-time site of the Garden of Eden in 8 theory pro pounded by Arthur Sanborn of this town.
 Sanborn has completed volumi nous treatise on the carly history O. mankind in which he cites facts and figures intended to show that it was in the Great Lakes sector, not in Mesoptomia, that Eve passed Adam tho apple.
 To the natural question Of how mere fig leaf could have afforded adequate protection against Chi cago-lilIe breczes, Sanborn replies that in those days the climate whereabouts was markedly milder than at present.
 sanborn bases his hypothesis for the most part on a new and in senious interpretation of the Book of Genesis.
 The verse. And q river went out Of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and be came into four heads, describes the formation of the Great Lakes. he contends.
 Nowhere in Asia nor in any land accessible to the ancients is there any river system that answers the description in Genesis, or even re- motely resembles it. he says.

Washington, Nov. 29 P>-Leadcrs of the country's prohibition forces are discussing the desirablllty ot lending support to a national refer endum on prohibition.
 A tentative plan would have the prohibition forces stand behind constitutional amendment, formulat- ed by the vets, calling for repeal or modification of the eighteenth amendment. This support would De contingent on definite assurance that separate constitutional conventions elected by each state would pass on it, and that the decision of these groups would be accepted as final, for time at least by the prohibl- tion opponents.
 Far From Harmony
 The dry leaders are far from be- ing in harmony on the plan. r. Scott Mcbride, Anti-Saloon league superintendent termed it "a betrar- al of prohibition by the dry lead CTS"
 Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secre- tary of the Methodist board of tenn perance, prohibition and public mor- als said he was ready to sit down with the vets at any time and for mulate a question to be placed be- fore the American people. asking them to say yes or no as to wheth CT the liquor traffic should be re- sumed."
 He doubted that wet leaders would agree to the proposal.
 Conferences on the subject are to continue here and in New York.

Washington, Nov. % LP) - In ex- pressef defense of equal opportunity to office. President Hoover has gone outside the American Federation of Labor ranks to fill the cabinet va cancy left by James J. Davis.
 William N. Doak. of Virginia, has been chosen secretary of labor. In announcing the appointment late yesterday. the president said the as sertion of William Green, president of the Federation of Labor, that the post should be filled from within his organization, laid on the chief executive the duty to maintain the principle of open and equal oppor- tunity and freedom in appointments to public office
 Green Disappointed
 Green immediately expressed dis appointment on behalf of the feder- ation officers. His statement re- trained, however, from saying whether opposition would be carried to the length of seeking a senate re- fusal of confirmation.
 Doak is legislative representative of the brotherhood of railroad train- men, a union not affiliated with the federation. He is the first labor sec retary chosen outside the federation, and also is the first native American named for the post. He was consd- cred by many MT Hooyer's choice for the post two years ago, but fed- eration opposition was strong.

 The savant, who has been work ing until the early morning hours daily, calculated that he could spare just 80 minutes to give the bride away to Dr. Dimitri Marianoff, young writer on scientific and artist ic subjects. He failed to carry out his program and because a witness was late he lost a half hour in get ting back 10 his own quarters to work.

 Havana, Nov. g GPt-A premon- ition Of death which she thrust aside through fear of being though. a coward, haunted Mrs. J. M. Keith Miller. plucky Australian woman aviator, whom air officials here feared today perished yesterday in an attempt to fly from Havana to Miami.
 Practically all hope has been abandoned for her safety, searching parties in six airplanes from here and Miami having flown for hours keys without a trace of her or the plane in which she set out at 9:11 a, m., yesterday on a paratively short jump 10 Miami.
 Friends Blame Selves
 Friends of Mrs. Keith Miller made here since her arrival last week from Pittsburgh accused themselves today of not having prevented her, forcibly if necessary. from making the flight against which were all the odds of a poorly conditioned plane, extremely rough weather, and above all. the mental hazard arising from fright when she was flying over water.
 T don't know why it is, but some thing tells me I'm going down. she said just before she took off. I've had this feeling ever since I crossed on the way over from Florida, and somehow or other l cant shake it of"
 Continuing. she called her plan4 an "unairworthy crate, one which anybody but myself would rcfuGe to fly" explaining that it was a con- ditionally licensed ship which she had rescued from junkpile' and reconditioned.
 T am trying to put myself over as a commercial pilot she stated, frankly. If I can make a flight ike that in an old ship without any of the usual equipment, it ought 10 be an easy matter to get some com- pany interested Ill uSIlIS llt etS q t6 Llar pilot

 NEXT GREATEST CONTEST

Held South Bend Boys Last Year Until Lucky Forward Gave Rocknc's Charges Break-Heayy Rains in California Gives Hanover Team Team Slight Advantage.
 Chicago. Nov. 29. JP)-Army's undefeated football team, one of the strongest ever developed on the plains at West Point, provided a, dangerous obstacle today to Notre Dame's march to a second success sive national championship. The traditional intersectional combat fo- cused national attention upon Sol dier Field and the capacity crowd of 125,000 witnesses will be aug mented by many thousands of radio listeners.
 One of the most extensive radio hookups in history has been arrang- cd and it is estimated that more than 2,000,000 people will follow the progress of the contest All tickets were sold week ago and despite the arctic weather record atten- dance is assured.
 Notre Dame Favorite
 Notre Dame, undefeated since 1928, is quoted as a decided betting favorite to score it's 18th consecu- tive victory, odds ranging from two to five to one, with little Army money in sight.
 The odds are false, and while Notre Dame should win, the Irish gre little better than an cven-money selection. Army has a powerful team nd with it's advantage in condition must be conceded a chance Of vic tory, especially on the frozen grid igon-always q "leveler'' of football machines.
 The cadets have the famed pow rful forward wall which battled Notre Dame to standstill on the iec-bound Yankee stadium field at New York last year. That game was tucided by single play-Jack FL ,'er's pass interception and 96yard saln for Notre Dame touchdown tnd it is probable that one break in fortune also will decide today's con- est.
 The hard, slippery gridiron will handicap both teams, but Army's at tack is better suited to heavy going than is Notre Danes. The Irish de pend almost entirely on speed and sAiftiness and with Jumping Joe Savoldi missing have no real line crashing threat. Army has a heavier team and can alternate it's speed rttack with power plays featuring rs star plungers, Kiday, Glatty and Herb.
 Both Face Real Fight
 Both teams will be fighting to re- ain their place among the nations few undefeated squads A tie with Yale is the only mar to Army's oth- rrwise perfect record, while Notre )ame has won all of it's eight games ,hs season.

 Washington, Nov, g P}-The seventy-first congress begins it's final session Monday confronted by per- pleXties that forecast troublesome days for the legislators and admin istration alike.
 Rigid tests of leadership in both branches loom large as progressive clements, confident of increased power in the next congress, clamor for consideration of controversial legislation that might lead to an extra sessicn.
 As administration leaders in the senate and house formulated pro- grams to avert such a special as- sembiy, they faced with no little anxiety, the problem of disposing Of four long standing and controverted matters.
 Ranking first is the disposal of Muscle Shoals, now in dispute be- tween the two houses. Efforts, how ever, are to be made for a compro- mise.

 Senator Norris, progressive repub- Iican, of Nebraska, not satisfied with overtures of administration leaders for agreement, has demand cd action on this and three other issues:
