Quest of Pliocene Man.
(NeW York Times )

NNeW YOrK llmeSJ
 When Roy Chapman Andrews, returning from the fifth Central Asatic Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, declares that, if the researches stopped by disturbed political condi- tions "it will be scientific tragedy" he has in mind discovery of Pliocene man. probably in the Gobi Desert. During the Summer he brought to light in Pliocene strata the fossil of shovel tusked mastodon Forty miles from the spot, in bog estimated to be million years old lay the mains of forty fossils of the enormous beasts. Twenty y-five of them had been full-grown bull todons. The task of resembling them presents great difficulty, because "the collection is complete if we able to go out and gather in herd of them alive" Other strange remains were uncovered: of a hyena-like animal with some resemblance to rhinoceros, and of a clewhoofed animal related to the Morosauridae These finds did not, however, compensate Dr. Andrews for failing to get the track of Pliocene Wistfuly he says: "The Piocene may have sat the hills watching the mastodons struggling in the boz"
 The Pliocene man was ncaculably older than the Peiping man, whose uncrushed skull dis inferred Dec. 2, 1929, at Choukoutien forty miles from Peiping by w. c. Pei of the staff of the Cenozolc Laboratory of the Geological Survey of China. Contemporaries of the Peping man in- habited China, it is held, a million years ago. In brain power he superior, scientists declare to the Java man. the Piltdown man of the gravel beds of England and the Neanderthal man of Prus- sia.
 Pliocene beds having been exposed, Dr. Andrews is resolved to go back when things quiet down in Mongolia. If a skull of the Peiping man was found in 1929, why not a similar trace of the Plocene man in future expedition? Today the territory is by bandits who nothing for science but good deal for the silver and weapons carried by explorers. Moreover, the bandits tax camels and motor cars Dr. Andrews found to his cost.

investments in newspaper advertising space during
 1881 not only means increased sale of their product to give steady employment to those engaged directly in the manufacture and distribution of cigarettes
 but brings returns to the advertising men, printers
 type settlers pressmen and others in the newspaper business who helped to create demand for cigar etes Moreover the larger portion of the sale price of each package of 20 cigarettes or six cents goes directly to the Government before the cigar
 cites leave the factory. This payment to the Fed
 eral Treasury is divided up to help pay the many expenses of operating the government at Washing ton Some portion of appropriations by Congress whether it is to pay soldiers and sailors disabled veterans postmasters to carry on irrigation projects and the thousands and enterprises n which the Government is interested is paid for by the purchaser of a package of cigarettes In other words every smoker of cigarettes today is helping relieve the unemployment situation not only direct ly by giving employment to those engaged Tn the manufacture and distribution of these cigarettes but by contributing to the appropriations which Congress has before it. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1880, tobacco taxes collected by the Fed eral Government amounted to $450 339 000 n- crease of nearly $160000O0 the corresponding period of 1928-29 Cigarette taxes alone yielded more than s359,81600o about $500 per capita.

TIME FOR CAUTION.

Information received here that score Of salmon canneries normally operating in Southeast Alaska, will remain closed during 1931 should be regarded seriously by all Alaskans. Not only does this mean that the seasonal employment of the Terrtory's coastal population, both whites and Indians Will be gravely affected but our of revenue will be
 limited too largely for comfort.
 The salmon canneries furnish most of the Terri tory's finances for governmental purposes Receipts for the current year will be smaller than normal due to the failure of the red salmon pack in Bristol Bay last season It is clearly evident that the receipts for 1892 will be similarly affected by the curtall- ment of operations this year. While undoubtedly the canners hope that the operations next year will conditions that exist today and which have resulted in restriction of packing on such large scale VIII have improved sufficiently to make unlimited opera ton possible The packers have already had notice from Commissioner OMaey that the Government will close Bristol Bay to all fishing in 1883. Hun dreds of thousands of dollars normally flowing Into the treasury from that source will be shut off.
 It is true that the treasury on January l. last had S550000 in cash hand, but this balance was less than that of year previous. Expenditures were in excess of our revenues last year and have been for several years It is plain that the times demand the utmost caution from our lawmakers and public officers in appropriations and expenditures Only the strictest economy will make it possible for the Territory to function in the next two bien- niums without raise in taxes and that is not only not justified but it would be most unwise in view of existing industrial and economic conditions.

CIGARETTE TAXES A FACTOR.

Uusually the layman, reading the cigarette ad vertisements in the daily press, jumps to the con- clusion that the benefits derived therefrom, aside from the pleasure the converted smoker gets from his improved smoke, divided between the manu- facturer dealer and newspaper publisher. But in directly the benefciaries number thousands. In- creased consumption of cigarettes of course, results in greater sales of tobacco by the growers permitting them to enlarge their operations
 In other ways too there accrued benefits to persons entirely unassocated with either the cigar cite newspaper industries. Increased use of ad- vertising space to sell more cigarettes during 1881 will not only keep hundreds of thousands now engaged in the industry at work but will mean employment for many who may now be temporarily out of job. After the Government receives its six cents in taxes from the ordinary fifteen-cent package of cigarettes the remainder is split by the retailer wholesaler, manufacturer, farmer and the literally hundreds of thousands of workers who tribute to the manufacture, distribution and sale of the increasingly popular short smoke. During l93C cigarette production in the United States increased more than half billion The increasing popularity of the cigarette is attributed by authorities to the removal of harmful rritants by the oasting process including the use of ultra violet rays The decision of leading cigarette manufacturers to make large,

PAINTING OF MADONNA
TO BE DISPLAYED HERE
Knoxville Woman Says Work of
Art Is Realization of
Childhood Vision.

The realization of a boyhood vision Is
represented by a painting Of the Ma
donna and Child recently brought to
Washington by Mrs. B. S. Williams of
Knoxville, Tenn, to be displayed the
rest of the week in the window of a
tea room at Thirteenth and H streets.
According to Mrs. Williams. Frank 3.
McCrary visualized the painting in its
present form when he was boy living
In remote part of Tennessee. McCrary
determined that the vision should some
day be converted into an actuality. He
went to New York to study photography
and returned to Knoxville, where he
established studio and set about col
lecting features which he thought would
Be appropriate to a likeness of the Ma
donna.
McCrary met a pastel painter named
6ryson in Chicago and interested him in
the endeavor. Bryson studied the collec-
ton of features and from it fashioned
the painting now on exhibition Mrs.
Williams says the painting was pur-
chased by her family from the Nc
Crary family. She hopes to have it
displayed in many large cities through
out the country.
