T$WENTY-NINE Of Washington's S
brightest girl bowling stars to-
morrow will enter the home
stretch in the fourth annual
Meyer Davis Sweepstakes, when they
roll their final three-game sets at the
Lucky Strike drives, starting at 8 o'clock.
The fair star of the Rendezvous and
Columbian quintets, Miss Margaret Lea
man, is out in front by virtue Of her
two previous sets of 351 and 341, but
the title is not assured her by any
means, for there are 10 girls with at
least a fair chance to win and almost
that number again who are possibilities
but not probabilities.
Miss Leaman's most dangerous con-
tender appears to be Billie Butler, No.
2 ranking United States girl duckpinner,
who rolled a sensational 35l total last
week to assume second place with a
six-game score of 672, 20 sticks behind
Miss Leaman. Trailing the two Lead
ers, not too closely, but close enough 10
be regarded as threats, are Elsie Fischer,
Lorraine GULL, Pauline Ford, Carolyn
Hiser, Evelyn Ream, Peggy Baocock'
Catherine Forteney and BesS AcKman.
Prospects of a new stakes record be-
ing established are none too bright:
Last year Marjorie Bradt Smith rolleo
l,O74 for nine games, to not only sci
up new Meyer Davis record. but also
a national mark for girls. 1t would re-
ouire a 383 set by Miss Leaman, who
has the best chance to smash the marx,

bowling spotlight to itself tomor-
row for the close of another sweep
stakes. the Greater Washington Handi-
cap, and the finish of a special head-to-
head match between Henry Hiser and
Hokie Smith also will be staged.
More than half hundred average
bowlers will shoot their final five-game
blocks at Convention Hall in the
Greater Washington Sweepstakes, a
John S. Bnck affair.
Hiser and Smith, leading District

to S12,000.000.
Other big construction jobs which are
scheduled to start this Spring are the

MOSCOW, July 13.-Where Lenin

In the impressively modernistic granite
tomb, just outside the Kremlin wall and

So as not to impede progress through
the square, the line is bent back and
redoubled, but even then the mass OF
people extends some distance from either
end of the tomb. Many cannot get in

to the public, so great Is the number
of persons there to see, and they 60

Past two soldiers of the Red army,
who always are on guard at the doors,
opened or closed, the visitor enters the
massive bronze portals and follows
the slowly moving line past more SOL
diers down a broad stairway leading to
the chamber of death underground and
in the very center of the ediflce.
The dim. indirect lighting adds a
deeper touch of solemnity.
Two more Red guards, with fixed

Science
Missing Link Reported
Found in China.

Scientific measurements of sinanthro-
pus, the pre-numan creatures whose
skulls were discovered early last year
near Peiping. show them to have been
the most primitive type of human be-
ing yet discovered" according to Prof.
G. Elliot Smith, distinguished British
anthropologist.
These measurements have just been
reported by DR.. Davidson Black of the
Peiping Medical College, one of whose
Chinese students made the discovery.
Months of work were necessary before
the two skulls could be cleared of rock
accretions and put in condition for ex-
act measurement. One was the skull
of an adolescent boy and the other of
a woman.
The boys skull, Prof Smith says, is
more primitive than that of the cele-
brated pithecanthropus, the Java ape
man, who thus far has been the earliest
known representative Of the human
species. The measurements show. the
British authority holds. that the brain
Of sinanthropus was still little special
lied. while that of pithecanthropus al
ready had become quite set, marking
him as near the end of an evolutionary
line
Thus, it is probable, the Chinese pre-
human was much closer to the direct
line of descent of modern man. T. r. H.

You Can't Jail a Million Dollars

You Can't Jail a Million Dollars
We used to hear lot about rich
men escaping the strong or weak arm
Of the law, as it may be. But recent
developments indicate that prosecut-
ing officials in some instances at least
are about to or have actually jailed a
million"
The conviction Of Marcus and
Singer, executives of the late la
msrted Bank Of United States, proves
what fearless prosecutors can do.
These men were rich, had powerful
political connections, and the best
legal counsel money could buy, but
they spent several hot nights in the
Tombs and, after the usual delay in
cident to appeals, doubtless will serve
from three to six years at Sing Sing.
Speculation in the stock market
furnished the temptation to loot the
bank deposits by illegal and viciously
criminal loans. Hundreds Of deposit
ors who had lost their money and
were without employment gathered to
hiss and execrate the men convicted
of betrayal of trust.
Yes, it is possible to jail million
dollars.
