Justice Cotillo's hair Is yet ungrayed.
Possessed OF q deep understanding of
domestic disputes, he has effected nu-
merous reconciliations.
He displayed his impartiality as be-
tween husband and wife when he ruled
in effect recently that man who per-
mitS his wife to work outside the home
forfeits whatever control over her may
doubtfully have been his"

new BOAT SPEED
RECORD SEEN NEAR
Gar Wood and Kaye Don Expected
to Smash Old Marks in
Race.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Mich, July 3l.-The
greatest speed ever attained in speed
boat contest is the objective of pilots
and regatta officials for the Harms
worth Trophy race to be run in Lake
st. Clair September to 5.
officials are predicting that, barring
a mishap, the winner of the race should
reach a speed of close to ITO miles an
hour.
New boats, course arrangements and
everything contributing to maximum
performance have been provided. Gar
Wood, defender, will have his new Miss
America, with supercharged engines;
Kaye Don, British challenger, will have
his new Miss England, in which he re-
Gently broke the world record. He
feels confident Of bettering the 93.l23
miles an hour he reached in last years
race.
The course has been laid out at the
lower end of Lake st. Clair. From
starting to finishing line it measures
seven nautical miles. and the contesting
craft will roar over 1t five times in each
heat. 1t consists Of two 3-mile
Straightaway lanes, headed at either
end by half-mile sweeping turn.
In the straightaways the Regatta
Committee has overcome the criticism
of last year that maximum speed was
| impossible because of numerous curves
| and short turns.
| Another departure announced by the
Racing Committee is the fixing Of $50
am. as the time for the start Of the
contest. The committee believes the
course at that hour will be smoother
than at any other time between sun
rise and sunset. In previous years the
races have been started at $50 pm.
| Aside from providing greater speed
| possibilities in the long straightaways
the course is so laid out as to minimize
the possibility OF an upset such as oc-
| CURED in last years race, when Don's
Miss England II, trailing Woods Miss
| America TX, turned over and sank on
the second upper turn of the old De-
| troit River course.
At no point is the course closer than
| LOO feet to the shore line, and travel
/ ing outside the buoys a boat in the
rear will have little difficulty avoiding
the wash Of the leader
Regatta officials, however. say that
/ the race probably will be Won and lost
| in the first two miles, the distance from
| the starting point to the first turn.
| The prediction is based on the aSSump-
ton that the contenders will be closely
matched in potential speed and that
once around the first turn and into a
| three-mile straightaWay the leader
| hardly can be overtaken-barring al
ways the possibility of striking a piece
Of driftwood and turning over.

JAPAN DEPENDENT
ON WORLD TRADE

wILLIAAGSTOWN, Mass, July 30
DR.. Herold G. Motion of Brookings In
stitute of Washington told round
table conference of Sino-Japanese re-
lations at the Institute of Politics today
that, in his opinion, the future OF ia
pan depends upon good trade relations
with the rest of the world.
The present japanese policy toward
Manchuria, he said, is disadvantageous
to Japan.
Political control over this area" he
said, will not solve the japanese
problems of emigration and industrial
expansion. The basic reason is that
all the territories to which Japan has
access already are denSely populated
IF there be solution Of the Jap
anese population problem it must be
through the importation of raw materi-
ais to be manufactured into finished
products for export. This would re-
quire large labor supply"
DR.. T. z. Koo, vice chairman Of the
Worlds Student Christian Federation,
addressed the institute tonight, warn
ing that Manchuria threatened to be the
Alsace-Lorraine of the Far East.
IF an equitable settlement is not
reached" he said, China will strain
every nerve from now on to get ready
to drive Japan out Of Manchuria."

Oregon Republicans Defeat Co-author Hawley-Smoot
 Tariff In Primary
BULLETIN - PORTLAND, May 23.--Late this afternoon Congressman Hawley slipped into the lead ever James Mott, by 30 votes. Only 12 precincts are to be heard from.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 23.-Wil- lis 0. Hawley of Salem, for 26 years a member of Congress from the First Oregon Congressional Dis trict, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee in the National House of Representatives after the retirement from Congress of Joseph w Fordney of Michigan and until the Democratic ascendency, was de- feated for renomination in the Re- publican primary Saturday by James Mott, State Corporation Commissioner.

is that they came across Boring Strait and moved south, and the |other is that they came from the South Seas to South America and |spread north.
 Dr. HrdlicKa's studies and re- searches have persuaded the great Ter part of scientific opinion to adopt the Bering Strait theory.
 The school of anthropogists that incluines to the belief that natives of the South Seas or of the Japan |ese coast either voyaged purposely or were swept by storms accident ally to the coast of South America and from there covered all South, Central and North America comes in conflict with one stubborn fact that refutes the theory, asserts Dr. Hrdlicka
 a Conditions Years Ago
 Indians were present in America long before the natives of the South Seas or of Japan were suf- ficienaly advanced to invent the simplest nayigable craft. Indians were in America 10000 or more years ago, and at that remote period neither South Sea Islanders nor Japanese natives were hollow ing out logs or making rafts that would carry human beings with supplies of food or fresh water. On log, without food or water, par ticularly water, no human creature could survive an ocean drift lasting several weeks at least. The South Sea or Japan theory is preposter- ous.
 The Boring Strait idea is plaus- ible. Between the Asiatic Coast and the Diomede Islands in Boring Strait, the distance is slightly more than 20 miles Between the Diomedes mad the American Coast the distance is also slightly more than 20 miles.
 Islands Plainly Visible
 From either the Asiatic or the American side the Diomedes are plainly visible on clear days. Asiat- ics, tempted to explore land they could see, would be able to cross the straits on either logs, crude rafts or in primitive skin boats. No supplies of food or fresh water would have to be carried, Also the Strait freezes over. Asiatics could walk to the American side.
 Thousands of years ago, just as today, the inhabitants on both sides of the Strait inter- traded, inter married, had much the same Ian guage, wore much the same style Of clothes and had much the same customs.
 In the course of years-thou- sands of years-parties of Indians migrated south, formed settlements, along the coast of Alaska and along inland rivers, reached what is now British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest States, and grad ually made their way to all parts

HAZARDOUS FLIGHT

NEW YORK, May 23.-In a tele- phone conversation from London derry, Amelia Earhart Putnam told her husband George Palmer Putnam that she flew most of the way across the Atlantic Ocean right on top of the water"
 The aviatrix had engine trouble and she decided she would rather drown than burn. I For hours it was absolutely black she told her husband. T was flying blind. 1t was rough as the devil"
 The weather predictions were 100 pe1'cent wrong on both sides of the Atlantic. I started out from Harbort Grace at a fairly high altitude. Ice developed on the wings and I had to come down. Then the collector ring of the motor burned out and from then on I skinned the water
 No Extra Clothes
 Mrs. Putnam took no food for the flight except tomato juice. She landed almost broke and had only $40 in her pockets, no checks and the only clothes she had were on her back.
 The first woman to ever fly the Atlantic alone, slept Saturday night in farmhouse at Culmore, Ulster, North Ireland.
 New Record Set
 Apparently Mrs Putnam set a new record across the Atlantic of 15 hours and 39 minutes. The vest previous time was l6 hours and IT minutes, by Post and Gatty. Col. Lindbergh's time was B hours and % minutes.
 Mrs. Putnam landed at 2::30 o'clock last Saturday afternoon or 8.30 o'clock Eastern Standard time. She had hardly any gasoline in her tanks when she landed.

 Changed Mode of Travel
 As the aboriginss left tlae Pa cific Coast waterways crossed mountains and inhabited the plains, they changed theA mode of travel from boat-riding to walking and eventually to h horse b c k-riding. Boat-riding makes for squatty, thick-sat individuals; walking, run ming and horseback riding makes for tall sinewy figures. But to all there are characteristics that are common, that evidence the same racial stock A native of Cape Prince of Wales on the Am erican side of Boring Strait and a native of Tierra Del Fuego at the extremity of South America are sufficietly alike to impress child with the fact that both are In- dians
 Dr. Hrdlicka is 63 years old. He was born in Bohemia He came 10 the United States when a young man. His collegiate education was obtained in this country. He fitted himself for the medical profession and recieved a medical degree, but he soon devoted himself to physical science. He studied abroad, and eventually specialized in anthrop- ology.
 All Parts of Globe
 In this subject he has pursued research work in all parts of the globe. He is a member of lead ing European and American scien- tific associations. In 1927, he was the Huxley Medal Lecturer in Lon, don. Since 1925, he has been Presi- dent of the American Anthroplogy Association. He is the author of many treatises and books on an thropology.
 Saturday evening. Dr. Hrdlicka was visited on the Admiral Watson by Rev. A. P. KasheYaroff, Curator of the Alaska Museum in Juneau They are old friends, having be- come acquainted on one of Dr. Hrdlicka's early trips to the Ter ritory.
