probably greater than the weight Of
the entire population of Pittsburgh
falls within the city limits during a
year. it has been estimated.
The SCOT falls at an average rate
of 1865 tons per square mile each
year, according to Fl. B. Meller. head
of the bureau of smoke regulation.
This is an average of 157 pounds
for each resident CT Pittsburgh, it
was estimated, with the total prob
ably exceeding the total weight of the
population of about 100000.
Comparative charts show de-
crease of about 80 per cent in the
sootfall in the downtown district in
the past eight years which was at
tributed to use of central heating
plants instead of a large number of
individual furnaces.
The 1929-'3O survey shows that
less SCOT fell than in 1924 when
the previous survey was made, but
there still was more than in 1928.

Man Resided Here 10000 Years Ago

thenberg Of the California Institute of
Technology. This extremely hot wealth
er few miles up comes as the result
of Professor Guthenberg's novel theory
that the atmosphere Is practically the
same in composition throughout and
not exclusively of helium in some high
layers, as other physicists have con-
cluded. Although the temperatures
are high in the heights Of the strato-
sphere, the air is very diffuse and
thin. Only rocket could actually pen

bring back evidence of what actually
exists there, Professor Gutenberg

Life in North America Is
Traced to Ice Age.

Pasadena, Calif-The time man has
lived in America was pushed back to
at least 10000 years ago by reports to
the American Association for the Ad-
yancement Of Science here recently.
Archeologists and biologists told
how they have read the record writ
ten in earth deposits that give strong
evidence that highly developed man
hunted strange red haired and large
clawed ground sloths, primitive horses,
buffalos unlike those known to early
white men or Indians, and other
strange beasts. Man was contempora-
neous with these creatures when the
last great ice sheet Of the glacial age
still covered northern United States.
That man existed at time more re-
mote than generally credited is the
conclusion of leading authorities, in

separates the two states, and for

spans, excepting the one at Denison,
Texas, and the owners of toll bridges

rangers were stationed oy order of
Governor Sterling to stop traffic after
Oklahoma officers had torn down a
barrier that had been erected. In re-

blocked at the Oklahoma end, forcing
traffic to make 30-mile detour to
the free bridge at Preston.
Oklahoma highway employees said
they had received orders to begin tear
ing up a section of road near Achille,
Okla. leading to K. o. & G. railroad
bridge at Carpenters Bluff, eight
miles east of Denfson. The railroad
bridge has a toll runway for vehicles.
Involved in the controversy are a

The Investigation was begun in Au-

more of three big stills used for
cracking and re-distilling commercial
alcohol for beverage purposes. More
than 100 witnesses, including Prohi-

peared before the inquest, which cost
the government 100000.
Among those indicted were the

States Industrial Chemical company
of West Virginia and Maryland, the
largest industrial alcohol company in
the country.
According to the charges, the con-

defense of its way of doing business.
The price having dropped to % cents

west, the growers are using their
grain in ways heretofore unknown. In
the Texas panhandle 1t is accepted as

Many of the southwestern farmers are
feeding wheat to poultry, cattle and
hogs and using it for fuel. A judge

couples for ten bushels of the grain.
and in several cities motor companies
take it in exchange for used cars at
the rate of so cents a bushel.
