SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Discovery in China of the
Picking Man Makes Earlier
Discoveries of Scientists
Much Clearer.
DEKMG MAN, whose fossil re-
l. mans were uneaIthed III China
in 1929, roamed the western hills
behind Picking a million years ago.
This is the opinion of DR.. G. Elliot
Smith of the University of London,
world-famous anthropologist who
had the opportunity last year Of
studying the Peking fossils.
From his studies of Peking Man,
DR.. Smith comes to an agreement
with DR.. Chester A. Reed, who
places the origin of man at about
100000 years ago
DR.. Smith places FeKlne Man, and
the other two fossil remains of early
man which had been previously
known, namely the Java Man and
the Piltdown Man, all in the early
part of the glacial age. This age is
known technically as the Pleisto-
Gene era.
Many arguments have ragged about
the nature of the Java and Pitt
down men. DR.. Smith thinks these
arguments will be solved soon.
The discoveries in China have
provided evidence to link together
all three genera Of early Pleistocene
men into a coherent and correlated
SERIES" he says.
They also confer upon the fossils
from Java and Sussex a respecta-
bility that formerly was denied
them"
Piltdown is located in Sussex,
England.)

Think Il Over

CTATE Senator Crawford, DEM
~ ocrat of Brooklyn, has placed a
bill before the New York Iegisla-
ture making it a Enable offense to
produce, or exhibit pictures "de-
plotting gangs, gangster life, glorif-
cation of crime and the criminal
classes, or the evils of gang life,
crime and criminals, or in any way
having to do with the depletion of
gangs, gangster life and criminals"
Now just read that over again and
ask yourself, if it were literally con-
strued and rigidly enforced, what
would there be left?
And while you're about it, why
not ask yourself just how many
gangsters, or criminals you ever
heard of who got their start in a
movie.

many years. He has been on
the bench a long time and he
always grows very peevish when
the same customers are brought
before him time and time

and very promptly exploded.
What is this?" he cried.
"You here again?"
The stew grinned foolishly.
That's right. your honor, :"
he returned. How have you
been?"
The crowd snickered and the
magistrate banged his gravel.
This is an outrage" he
roared. Your record shows
that you've been before me
seven times. What kind of a
record do you call that? What
kind of a man are you?"
The drunk shrugged his
shoulders.

said, "but /"
There are no butts" the
magistrate interrupted. There
can be no excuses and I don't

Dorothy Jordans
Chance Coming
With Universal
BY HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. S.
Young players who make a big
hit in one picture are apt to find
the next stage of their careers a
tantalizing letdown. Sweet while
it lasts, the hue and cry soon
shifts to some other discovery.
There remains the serious and
less spectacular business of fash
ioning a solid career.
Dorothy Jordan is in this pc
riod.
Praised without stint for her
fine performance in Min and
Bill" she dropped out of the spot
light and, pending a new oppor-
tunity. must rest content with
adding to her experience.
It may be the longed-for chance
will come in Heart and Hend,' -
for which Universal has just bor-
rowed her. This film is to have
but three principals-Walter HuS-
ton, Kent Douglas and Dorothy.
It's story is laid in lighthouse,
so there will be few distracting
influences. Interest will be TO-
cussed sharply on the three char
acters.
The set-up seems right. It will
be up to Dorothy.

That was as far as reached.

get some rest. Wen drop into

room. If I know my customers,
you'll probably sleep for a

Some thirty minutes later,
the doctor and / were in our
room. I was in bed, blinking
at him through bleary eyes. He
removed his watch, wound it
carefully and placed it beside
him on table.

promptly. IT have an early

myself six hours. Leave a call
for yourself at 8 o'clock and

you WISH" he said, "but I don't
need any. I'm trained to
awaken without calls"

What are you driving at"
asked. ''You mean to tell me
that if you want to get up at
a certain time, you can get up
without having anyone call
you?"
He nodded.

see, Mark. we steel ourselves to
that sort Of thing in the medi-
cal profession. There's nothing
mysterious about it. A few
years of practice, and you
could do it, too.
