and no one interposed single objection
or suggested a word of change when
the matter was brought up last night.
Resolution Is Affirmative.
AS adopted, the substitute resolution
introduced by Mr.. Bondy, chairman OF
the schools committee, Is entirely
affirmative in its declarations and
leaves out such negative statements
made in the original resolution that
the school board should be non-political
and non-partiSan in character. Pro-
ponents of the original measure, how
ever, expressed the belief that much
of the effect sought by that resolution
would be obtained.
Regardless of the wording of the
measure adopted last night, it was gen.
orally felt by those prominent in Civic
Federation affairs that the fight over
the qualifications of school board ap-
pointees would have the effect OF OBJ

personally would have liked 10 have

state that appointments should be
made without political pressure and
thereby definitely lift the board above
and out of the political system. Mr..

DIGGINCS PROVE ORGANIZED LIFE
 OF PEkINe MAN
Scientists Have Eyes Op- ened When Told of
 Historic Finds
By H. J. KIMBERLEY

FEPlNG, Mrach 2.-FTeSh chap ters in the life history of the "Pek- ing Man. have appeared to dis close that this ancestor of present. day man had begun to organize his life a million years ago.
 Scientists at a meeting of the Chinese Geological society here told how he used Jumps of quartz to fashion hunting weapons from animal bones and how he made fire his servant.
 During the past couple of years charred fragments have been re- covered from the limestone cave where the original "Sinathropus" remains were found.
 Kept Home Fires Burning
 Chemical tests carried out by Dr. Gaubart, of the laboratory of mineralogy of the Paris Museum, and by Dr. Bernard E. Read, Of the Rockefeller Foundation in Pei ping, have proved conclusively tha. the Picking Man was accustomed to build fires in his subterranean dwelling.
 Further proof of organized life was furnished by the discovery of more than 2,0OO worked fragments of quartz in association with two additional ssSlnanthropus' jaws and part of skull
 In the opinion of AbDe Henri Breuil, noted French palentolo- gist, who recently visited Peiping to investigate these finds, the Picking Man used the quartz fragments as tools with which p1 fashion weapons from animal bones.
 Organized Life Intelligently
 Deer antlers with sharpened points and with enough of the skull attached to form handle were used as daggers, Abbe Breuil believes, while deer skulls served as drinking vessels.
 @Sirlanthropus was already man and was able to organize his life intelligently,' the French scientist said
 These implements, which in- clude borers, scrapers and piercers in addition to other pieces large enough to have been used as chop pers or anvils. point to a very systematic industry"
 The quartz from which these things were made was a very im- perfect material but the Picking Man seems to have done about as we'll with it as anyone could be expected to do."
 ssProbably he was able to work wood as well as bone, but that is difficult to prove. Unquestionably, however, he was a successful hunt CT of animals. He was much too highly developed for us to be able to consider him as the first man. Clearly he had still a more prirni- tive forsrunner .

 Only actual tests proved that the reverse was the case.
 The principal reason for the double super is to provide an out fit that will perform under almost any kind of receiving conditions.
 In a preliminary setup, the input circuit, designed for four to seven meter reception, included not only the variation frequency oscillator functioning on a hundred kilocycles but hetrodyne oscillator to beat against the incoming signal so that its frequency could be changed ot pass it along ot an intermediate radio frequency amplifier.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-03-02
Location Important

However, prime consideration must be given to the location of the receiving post in relation to the station. Signals on the pigmy waves don't go so far comparative ly, not much more than 60 miles at the most.
 A simple regenerative receiver is ideal close to the transmitter with the superregenerative better at greater distances.
 But the ultimate for all around reception is a receiver in which a suparregeneratiVe first detector i; combined with a supsrheseroiyne Some skepticism has been ex- pressed that such an outfit could be made to function satisfactorily

Combination Works Better

After many long hours of tus- sling, the two oscillators were made to do their separate parts without interlacing, one upon the other.
 The heterodyne oscillator circuit was a duplicate of that of the first detector, generating a frequency in the neighborhood of 43,000 kilo- cycles. The intermediate amplifier consisted of two stages of radio frequency that could be tuned to just above the broadcast band.
 This combination makes possible the amplification of six-metsr sig nals to point not possible with the superregenerative alone.
