REMAINS OF ICE AGE
ANIMAL DISCOVERED
Knife With Body of SIOth Links
Man to Prehistoric Era.

BIZ Science Serrice
LAS VEGAS. New, Jan. 3.-An-
other remarkable discovery of the
remains of the shaggy, tawny, lum-
bering old ground sloth who lived
in the Ice age of prehistoric Amer
lea, has been made in the now fa-
nous Gypsum cave near here, by
the joint expedition of the South
west museum and the California
Institute of Technology, M. r. Har-
rington, leader of the expedition,
just has announced.
An oval flint knife of. unusual
make also has been found in a deep
layer of earth in the floor of the
cave, and in this same deep layer
is ground slotll refuse.
All of this adds weight to the
evidence which the expedition first
uncovered last spring. to the effect
that man inhabited America before
the disappearance of the strange
creatures of the Pleistocene or Ice
age, Harrington said.
The dryness of the cavern has
preserved the sloth remains through
thousands of years.

By United Press
NORTH BEACH AIRPORT, L. l..
Jan. 3.-Mrs. Beryl Hart and Cap
tain William S. MacLaren left here

two-stop flight for Paris.
The first goal of the fiiers was
Bermuda, some 700 miles to the
southwest From there they planned
to hop to the Azores.
The purpose of the flight, they
said. was to demonstrate the
feasibility of round trip air trans
portstion between America and
Europe over the southern route.
DR.. James H. Kimball, meterologist
of the government weather bureau
here, forecasted favorable weather
for the first leg OF the fight.

when the craft circling the bay once,
headed southeastward--a dim white
blur in the faint moonlight.
Captain McIare1, who is co-pilot,
said he and Mrs. Hart expected to
arrive. in Bermuda in eight hours.
The Trade Wind, as the plane was
named. carried small amount of
payload.
Flight of All Miles
The two pilots, who spent several
months preparing for the flight, in
tend to refuel in Bermuda and
start at dawn Sunday for Horta, in
the Azores, a fight of 2,042 miles
over the ocean.
At Horta there will be another re-
fueling and they will attempt to
complete the final lap of 1890 miles
to Paris early on Monday.
The total distance of the flight,
as plotted by MacLaren, an expert
cnced navigator and West Point
graduate, is 4,211 miles.
The fliers planned to relieve each
other at the controls, but Mrs. Hart
will have to do most of the plotting
while her partner is checking the
planes position.

1919 TAXES REFUND
ORDERED BY COURT
Way Paved by Ruling for
$1,000 to Regain Fees
Paid Under Protest.

Ruling which, if upheld on appeal,
would pave the way for the refund
of $4,000 Marion county taxpayers
of taxes paid under the horizontal
tax increase of 1919, was made to-
day at Greenfield by Circuit Judge
Arthur c. Van Duyn.
Deciding the cases of seven In
dianapolis taxpayers, whose cases
parallel that of thousands of other
city residents, Judge Van Duynn
ordered Marion county commissions
ers to refund taxes paid under pro-
test by the seven petitioners in 1920.
Almost year ago, the same cases
were ruled on by Superior Judge
James M. feathers who held that
Marion county should refund an
aggregate Of .$6D00000 collected in
19l9-20-21-22 under the horizontal
increase.
Affects One Year Only
Van Duynn's ruling differed from
Leather's- in that today's ruling will
release Marion county from refund
ing taxes collected for school city,
city and township units in the years
1920, 1921, and 1922.
County Auditor Harry Dunn, who
with the board of county commits
sioners appealed Leather's ruling to
Van Duynn's court, could not
estimate today what the refund
would total.
Dunn stated, however, that the
$4,000 900 contemplated refund would
be reduced greatly, because Van
Duynn held no refund can legally
be paid on the city, township and
school city levies of i920-21 and 20.
Conference to Be Held
Van Duynn's ruling was on the
cases of Saul Munter, and six other
indianapolis residents.
The ruling, in part, follows:
"The court has concluded that the
plaintiffs should recover all of the
taxes paid on such horizontal in
crease in. the spring of 1920 (under
the 1919 leyy), including not only
state and county taxes, but that
part assessed for township and city
purposes.
"This for the reason, that, as
shown by the evidence, plaintiffs
paid such installment under pro-
test
Under that ruling, other Marion
county residents who paid the 1920
installment under protest, could file
suits for recovery.
Dunn indicated today he would
confer with Harvey A. Grabill, Mar
ion county attorney. on an appeal
to the state supreme court.

Clothes Are
Tailored to
Suit Mann
BY JEAN PATOU
written for NEA Service)

PARIS, Sept. 23.--The outstand-
ing impression of the new collec-
tons is perhaps the wider range Of
styles set aside for afternoon wear.
Whereas in previous collections there
were models classified distinctly as
early and late afternoon, you will
find this year that the afternoon
mode has become far more eclec-
tic, with clothes to suit every posi-
Die circumstance.
The strictly tailored suit belongs
obviously to the category of infor-
NAL clothes, but is not sufficiently
SO to be classed anywhere in the
sports clothes department.
Essentially practical, its only claim
to the afternoon category is its
clearly defined silhouette, it's spruce
aspect and the addition of the
blouse that lends it fantasy and
color.
The alternative type of informal
afternoon ensemble, suitable for
shopping and tea in town. consists
OF a dress and three quarter or long
coat.
In Spot All Its Own
This type of ensemble bears a very
close resemblance to a sports outfit,
an Illusion derived from its easy fit
and simplicity of design. The slight
dressmaker" touches together with
the supple fur trimming, however,
place it in a category all its own.
The whole effect is more studied
than in any morning or sports en-
semble. With these three-quarter
length coats I like the fashion of
allowing them to swing from the
shoulders, which conveys a hint of
dehonair ease.
The tailored outfit should be
completed by hat as neat and
spruce as itself, but on which a
Slight touch Of fantasy is permis-
sible.
think medium brimmed
shape is best suited to this type of
dress. 1t harmonizes with the sill
houette far better than anything
strikingly original or daring.
Can Garry Smaller Hat
The ensemble can carry a smaller
shaped hat than the taileur, but
restraint in trimming and even the
medium in which it is created is
necessary. There are many kinds of
felts that will suit this type of
dress.
Dark colors are indicated for
these shopping" clothes but black
is not necessarily the smartest this
season. With the ensemble the fur
trimming must form a contrast.
This year great deal of light fur
is used.
I am very glad that women have
forsaken fur neckpieces or scarfs
for informal wear. AS matter OF
fact, the silhouette is greatly
slenderized by the absence of long
haired fur boa effects.
The smart woman will wear a
cravat with a formal street dress,
but this Is now fashioned in the
richest pelts such as sables and
broadtails and considerably smaller
in volume.
1t is also a mode governed by
weather conditions, as coat dresses
can obviously only be worn in the
very early fall.
