THE END OF THE HUNT-A VIEW
OF NEOLITHIC MAN.


into the remote past. The rungs of
this time-ladder which most concern
us now are those which span that
phase of the earth's history which went
before the present phase-the phase or
stage known as the Pleistocene. The
nearest rung marks the close of the
ice age in Europe; we modernS have to
traverse some 10000 years to reach this
rung of the Pleistocene ladder. The
ladder itself spans a period of at least
250,000 years; many experts hold that
this is gross undereStimate-that at
least GOO, 900 years should be assigned
to this period of human history.
We shall not stop to argue the num-
Der OF years, but push on to mention
certain very important additions lust
made to our knowledge relating to the
kinds of men who lived in the world at
this distant date and to their mode of
life. Until recently we know of only
three samples of humanity Of the early
Pleistocene age-Piltdown man in Eng
land, Heidelberg man in German and
Java man in Java-crude human be-
ings, altogether different from living
men.
These three ancient types differed so
from one another that we wondered
what kind of beings were their con-
temporaries in other regions of the
world. In 1927 the government of
China, in spite of its internal dissen-
sions, took up the chase and discovered
that a limestone hill 81 miles from
Peking was in reality vast mausoleum
Of the remote period of which speak
the early Pleistocene. 1t contained
many fossil remains of an extinct form
OF humanity-Peking man-and of
many extinct kinds of animals.
Foundation Already Laid.
Thanks to the labors OF Prof. David
son Black Of Peking Medical College. we
now know what kind of beings then
lived in China at this remote period

has existed for at least 5000 years;
but every one of the earlier cities now
is a mass of buried ruins. And yet,
if We may judge from their outward
appearances, the early inhabitants of
these cities were just as capable busi-
ness men as any now to be found in
Paris, London or New York.
The army just mentioned is search
ing for the beginnings of civilization;
the other army have alluded to
much more widely scattered over the
world than the first-is seeking for the
beginnings of humanity. 1t also is
armed with the spade. The scenes of
its campaign lie in caves and in the
accumulated debris of river valleys, for
in them lie the records of mans dis
tant past.
Our army of cave hunters, as the
result of century of endeavor, has
succeeded in constructing time-ladder
which provides it with more or less
certain foothold as it pushes its way

French Flyers Oppose
LIE Bourget Cemetery

PARIS.-French flyers are opposing
a scheme to create vast cemetery at
LIE Bourget paris airport, abutting on
the flying field. Their objections are
twofold-that intending passengers by
the air lines would consider the sur
roundings too creepy. and that in case
OF forced landings pilots would come to
harm in the cemetery.
with third objection -impossibility Of
enlarging the flying field, seeing that
the proposed cemetery would be two
miles long and one mills wide.

STATE REDUCES
VALUATION ON
RAIL PROPERTIES

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 2. U.P) =
Reduction of 13 per cent in the
assessed valuation of California
railroad properties in order to place
them on level with other types
of property was announced today
by the state board of equalization.
The boards action was believed
to indicate preparation for a pos
sible state ad valorem tax and fol-
lowed warning by the major car
riers that they would fight through
the courts any payment of taxes
on the basis of the old assessment.
The new valuation, which cuts
the 316,470,934 assessment in 1881
to $274,296,887 this year, represents
from 40 to so per cent of the actual
value Of the properties and was
made on the basis of data COM
piled by the state railroad COM
mission, board members said.
Principal reductions for major
carriers in the 1882 assessment
rolls were made in properties Of
the Southern Pacific holdings,
which were cut l6 per cent, and
the Santa Fe company, with a cut
of per cent. An increase of 23
per cent was given the Western
Pacific because of it's new extension
IN Northern California to join the
Great Northern.

Tolan Surprised
The most surprising development
of the games to date was the Off
cial announcement that Tolan won
the century championship. Every
body in the south stands, including
Lawson Robertson, head coach OF
the American team, believed Ralph
Metcalfe, huge Negro star from
Marquette, was the winner. So did
Tolan who congratulated his COL
ored rival, and so did Metcalfe,
elated over believing he had won.
Study of official photographs of
the Tolan- -Metcalfe finish, made
early today, substantiated the de-
cision of the judges. Officials who
examined the pictures believed that
Tolan had won by margins rang
