He is the one great romance
of my life"
But why the smashup? Mary
said:

go through with the marriage

IN CAVE
LINK APES To
MODERNMAN
Discoveries in China Run
From Million Years Ago
To Recent Era
PE1PING, Dec. 1s GN.sO.-The

PEIPING, Dec. 18 GN.S)-The
mystery of a chain Of life from
the baboon through the Peking
man to modern man confronted
scientists today as a result Of SEN
sational archaeological discoveries
in the famous caves Of Choukou-
tien, a few miles beyond the walls
Of Peiping.
These caves, it is revealed, served
successfully as homes for the
baboon, the Peking man, and a
modern type Of man, forerunner
of the modern Chinese.
Relics Million Years Old
The discoveries were made by
DR.. Davidson Black, noted Cana
dian scientist, and DR.. w. c. Pei,
youthful Chinese archeologiSt and
finder of the skulls of the famous
Peking man. They disclosed de-
tails Of life on earth more than
one million years ago.
Working with funds partly sup
piled by the Rockefeller Institute,
the two scientists unearthed sew
eral teeth and limb bones of the
baboon, tentatively identified as
Cynocephalus Wimani Schlosser.
Skulls Discovered
In the same caves. but in layers
of rock belonging to a later age,
were found two almost complete
but somewhat crushed skulls,
other skull fragments, teeth, lower
jaws, vertebrae, and leg and foot
bones. These were identified as
belonging to the immediate de-
scendants of the Peking man.
Large traces of charcoal and
ash showed fire was known to
this early man.
Feminine vanity was not I'M
known then, either, for neck
laces were found, made of per-
forated fox-dog teeth, along with
other "jewelry" made of hema-
tite brought from afar. The
bones of birds also were used for
ornaments.
SCUA1C xUUAS TUuAW
Stone implements of the Pc
king man were found, but there
was no evidence he was trained
in making pottery or building
with stones.
Evidence of the life of the
later modern man was plentiful.
These finds were not new, pre-
vious discoveries having shown
he inhabited these caves. The
new work thus links these ages.
chronologically far apart, through
the single Chinese caves. DR..
Black said:
eve are inclined provision
ally to attribute the associated
human remains to late PleiS-
tOcene, PalaeOlithic culture.
This would seem to correspond
approximately to the same
stage as the upper PalaeOlithic
age of Siberia and Europe.
"It would seem that one must
conclude from this latest dis
covery that the ChOkOutien fiS-
sures have been successfully
inhabited by babOonS, by the
Peking man, and by modern
type of man."

Indefinite Recess Taken BY
Futile Hearing, But State
Will Push Probe

PRINCESS ANNE, Md, Oct. 25.
Twenty witnesses testified before
The coroner'S jury in the Arm
wood lynching case here yester-
day, but all responded similarly:

knew"
Sheriff and deputy sheriffs Of
Somerset county who were at
the scene at the time Of the
lynching, along with the 16 pris-

Jail when the mob dragged
George Armwood out were ques-
toned before Coroner Edgar A.
Jones during the hour and a
half inquiry, but all apparently
to no avail, as far as identifying
any of the participants in the
1ynching.
Recess Indefinite
No verdict was handed down
and the hearing was recessed in
definitely, with Attorney General
William Preston Lane, jr, ex-
pected to come here to conduct
further examination of witnesses.
John B. Robins, States Attorney,
directed the questioning yester-
day.
About all that was learned dur
ing yesterdays hearing were the
names of some few Eastern Shore
men described as witnesses to
the mob attack on the colored
man alleged to have attacked a
31-year-old white woman.
The colored man was dragged
from his cell by a mob which
broke into the Jail, pulled Arm
wood through the streets, hanged
him, and burned his body.
Yesterdays hearing was con-
Quoted in the main chamber Of
the court house, which was packed
with spectators.
Sheriff First Witness
Luther Daugherty, sheriff Of
Somerset county, was the first
witness. In answer to questions
directed by Robins, he explained
he was at the Jail at the time the
door was broken in and Armwood
was dragged out, and added:
"There was a large crowd
there, but I didn't see anybody
knew"
Robert Maddox, deputy sheriff;
Norman Dryden, the jailer, and
Charles Dryden, a deputy sheriff,
said they saw the crowd, but could
not tell the names of any Of the
9ynchers.
Of the 16 prisoners who testi-
fled, IL were colored.

70 STOP RIVER
POLLUTION

Rigorous steps to stop pollution
of the Potomac River from sewers
that empty into it, will probably
be started as soon as the District
Of Columbia completes an ade-
quate disposal system, proponents
Of the $2,500,00O sewer bond issue
plan in Arlington county, are say
ing today.
BackerS of the project claim
that if the antipollution law is
enforced, a large number of the
existing projects in northern Vir-
ginia will have to either be
scrapped or operators will have
to build disposal plants.
A special election will be held
November 81 at which voters OF
the county can express their
opinion on the proposal that the
county borrow $2,50O,O00 from the
Public Works Administration, the
Federal Government taking in re-
turn bonds to the value Of 10
per cent of the grant. The money
would be used to install a county.
wide disposal system.
At present, in Arlington county,
there are a number of small sewer
systems. Some are adequate,
others need improvement, while
none are any too profitable,
owners say.
The county board and County
Manager Roy Braden, hackers of
the plan, say the loan would pro-
vide a system adequate for all
needs.

BYRD REJECTS
LIQUOR ADS

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. Is.
Senator Harry Flood Byrd's Har-
risonburg (Va.) News-Record has
been carrying an editorial to the
effect that, after the repeal Of
the Eighteenth Amendment, the
paper will accept no liquor ad-
vertisements.
The editorial reads, in part, as
follows:
"In fact, we believe in pro-
hibiting by law any advertise.
ment which is intended to in.
duce or influence anyone to
drink intOxicantS. Liquor is .
necessary evil, and. as such, we
should not influence, by the at
fractions of advertisement, the
consumption Of a drink which
may be injurious to those who
consume it."
HarriSonburg was wet in the
recent election. The county was
one Of the few voting dry.

CIVIC CENTER
FUNDPLEA
Presentation Will Be Made
As Soon as Possible;
Criticism Is Heard

District heads will go before
public works administration Off
cials soon to make a second bid
for funds to finance the construc-
tion of the proposed municipal
center for the District.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, who con-
ferred with the District Commits
sioners recently concerning this
matter, made this assertion today.
He said the presentation would
be made as soon as the public
works heads will grant the hear
ing.
Receive No Word
District Commissioners and
Senator King went before the P.
w. A. officials some weeks ago
urging that the loan be made, but
to date no definite word has been
received as to what action was
taken Ev the Federal body.
It is believed the reason the
funds have not been granted is
partially because SO much money
already has been allocated to con-
struction in the District of Colum-
bia and PWA officials feel that
the granting of the huge loan for
the Municipal Center project may
bring criticism from outside
sources that too much Public
Works money is being concen-
trated here.
Called Too Ornate
Some District residents also
have criticized this proposal on
the ground that it is too broad
and that the proposed buildings
are too large and ornate.
However, it is pointed out by
other sources that the District
originally asked for smaller and
less pretentious buildings but that
these plans were changed by
Congress to call for more i'm
pressive buildings, and that, there
fore, it is up to the Federal Gov
ernment to go through with the
plans.

Go Overnight
When You Take The
Right Thing!

A cold doesn't have to run It's
course and expose you to serious
complications. A cold can be
routed overnight if you go about
it the right way. First of all,
a cold being an internal infection,
calls for internal treatment. Sec
ondly, a cold calls for a COLD
remedy and not for a "cure-all."
Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine
is what a cold requires. It is ex-
pressly a cold remedy. It is inter.
nal and direct-and it does the
four things necessary. 1t opens
the bowels, combats the cold
germs and fever in the system,
relieves the headache and grippy
feeling and tones and fortifies
the entire system. Anything less
than that is taking chances with
a cold. Get Groves Laxative
Bromo Quinine at any druggist,
30c to SOC. Ask for it by the full

offer substitutes.
