Seated at a table in his simple

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.--Policeman
George Prince took George YOU
mans, IL, to the Wakefield sta
ton, the Bronx.
Said Prince:
"If 1 were a reporter would
say this boy was as bright as a
steel trap, that he had as much
grit as an Indian, and if we had
more like him this country
would be safe for a long time.
George ran away from home,
from a small dairy farm near
Sumter, S. c., the other morning.
Ordinarily the police look none
too glowingly-however, Sympa-
thetic they may be-on small boys
who run away and worry their
mothers. But in the case of
George YoumanS it was different.
George said his mother, Mrs.
Rose YoumanS, was getting
breakfast for his father when
Georges pet dog and her cat
got into a fight. George quoted

Fossils Proof of
Antiquity of Man?

The most ancient being known
which can be called man was discOv-
cred in Java. 1t was imbedded in
a stratum containing fossil plants and
animals of at least a half million
years ago. This being, called Pithe-
canthropus erectus, had small head.
with huge ridges over the eyes. It's
teeth were much like tohse of today,
and it walked erect.
Next in age are the remains Of IL
individuals discovered deeply buried
in a cave near Peiping, China. These
people were much like the Java man,
but were somewhat more advanced.
The associated animal bones indicate
a period only a little later.
Near Heidelberg, in Germany, a
human jaw was found during COM
mercial excavations. The stratum in
which it lay was deposited in the
second interglacial epoch, probably
25O,000 years ago. The jaw Is huge,
it has no chin, but the teeth are
human.

age was made near Piltdown. Sus-

sparing the horse, for ali urgent
spur was driving her. II she could
arrive in time she might avert a
tragedy. Just how she did not
know, but she would find a way.
Ii was not possible that they would
kill each other If she flung herself
between them. Surely they would
not do that.
The buckskin she rode was a good
traveller, but she seemed to crawl
over the ground. The hills were
steep and rough, the decllvities
sharp. She detected, trying TO
save few hundred yards, and pres
emily found herself in a thicket of
cactus and mesquite that grew more
dense as she proceeded.
Out Of this she worked, desperate
ly aware that she had wasted inval-
liable minutes. An open draw Of
fered promise of faster progress.
This led to a pocket, the sides of
which were precipltous.
1t was just as she reached the
summit that the sound of a shot
appalled, her. She spurred the buck
skin in the direction from which the
report had come, recklessly, care
less of danger of a fall from the
plunging horse. All her being was
obsessed by terror. Fear for those
she loved rose in her and choked
her.
The pony swung round a clump
OF bushes and SHE'D so violently
that Julia was almost unseated. A
man was STOPPING over something
that lay huddled on the ground. The
girl dragged the animal to a halt
and flung herself from the saddle.
AS she ran back she noticed that
the man held rifle in his hand. He
Strengthened and turned toward her.
The man was Wilson McCann.
In his rigid face her fear-filled
eyes read confirmation of what she
had dreaded. She looked down
and from her throat there leaped an
anguished cry. The stricken figure
at their feet was that of her fa-
ther. In the center OF his forehead
was small round hole. He was
dead beyond any question of doubt.

heard herself cry out, and in that
moment of fear felt a sense of puz-

looking at Phil and she was sure
he had not fired.
Phil dragged her down behind

told her almost in a whisper.
But Julia. looking over his shoul-

to show that this was no ruse. He

knees beside the lax body.
Wilson McCann waited for the
first emotional outburst 10 spend

He knew that. The drumming hoofs
OF his horse should be putting miles
between him and the scene of this
tragedy. But he had something TO
tell her, as soon as she was In

could not leave her alone with her

A twig snapped. Instantly Mccain

ASKS HOUSE To
FOLLOW FIXED
ECONOMY PLAN
Unofficial Whip Lays Down
6-Point Program for
State Assembly.

Democratic house members will
be asked to support a six-point
economy program 10 save millions
when they caucus Tuesday night,
Representative Virgil Simmons
DEM, Button, declared today
when the assembly convened
Simmons, the unofficial Demo-
cratic house whip, asserted the as
sembly should get down to business
and follow regular plan instead
of pursuing the shotgun tactics
which characterized the first two
days of the special session.
He would have it declare three
year moratorium on the education
construction program for the state
colleges and universities which call
for 100000 annually; and on other
institutional construction.
Simmons will support repeal of
the three mile gravel road and
county unit road laws; divert ap-
proximately half of the state high
way commissions $23,O00,0O0 annual
income to the counties and cities
for maintenance of local highways,
and repeal Of the bone dry laws and

and salaries of state and county of

take away all fees from county Of

the Democratic house majority get

Simmons also asserted when a

duced to equaliZe the tax burden 1t
also must place levy on corpora
tions.
Would Save S3,O0O,OOO
'It would be unfair to tax the one
ana permit the other to escape"
he said
The three-year moratorium on
the institutional and education con-
Struction fund would mean a total
saving of approximately $4,000 900,
and approximately the same amount
would go into the county treas
uries if the fees were taken away
from the local officials and the sal
aries reduced, he said.
The 10 per cent horizontal slash
on all appropriations would mean
an annual savings of $4,000 900, Sim
mons said.
The three mile gravel road law has
placed bonded Indebtedness of
more than $43,0O0,OOO on the peo-
pie, while the burdeh of the county
unit road law bonds is in excess of
$10,661, 1924, Simmons said.
