The Buyer Barometer.

New York, which has been badly hit by
the business depression during the past
few years, is greatly heartened by rec
ord arrival during July of buyers from
all parts of the country. In that month
Alb out-of-town merchants checked in
at their hotels, the largest number in
any July since 1929, and an increase of
nearly five per cent over last year. This
increase in arrivals is continuing, and
recently SAT buyers registered, as COM
pared with 1872 on the corresponding day
of the preceding week. 1t is reported
that current gains in retail trade have
surpassed expectations, and those who
are watchful of these signs of business
revival predict that the next few weeks
will see sharp increase in the volume
of advance orders, if not an actual rush
for merchandise.
The buyer barometer as it has been
called, is regarded in New York, the
country's largest distributing center of
miscellaneous merchandise, particularly
wearing apparel, as one that has
seldom failed as prophecy Of
prosperity. Merchants must replen-
ish their stocks in anticipation of
trade and they must base their orders
upon indications of volume, which they

The Social Security Board.

In signing the social security act the
President suggested that the enactment
of that legislation alone was OF sufficient
Importance to have made the past ses-
sion of Congress memorable. 1t is easily
the most important legislation OF the
session, penetrating further into little
known territory and directly affecting
more people than any enacted during this
or past Congresses for many years back
Naturally, the President has devoted
careful thought to selection OF the So
cial Security Board, which will admins
ter many of its most important pro-
visions, and which, through its ability 10
master the vast and complicated task
it assumes will play considerable part
In writing initial success or failure OF
the experiment.
The Presidents announcement OF the
boards personnel is, then, of surprising
Interest. John G. Winant, three times
Republican Governor of New Hamp-
shire, chosen as chairman OF the board,
Is socially minded" New Highlander,
with a conservative background in edu-
cation, tradition and politics. His posi-
ton as assistant director of the inter-
national labor Office in Geneva has
brought him into working contact with
some of the problems and theories OF
old-age and unemployment insurance
and has been in the way of training
course for the more exacting duties
which will shortly bring him to WASH
ington.
Arthur J. Altmeyer, who was brought
to Washington from Wisconsin as an
Assistant Secretary Of Labor in the
Spring of 1884, will doubtless be the
technician on the board. He has made
a deep study of the social security
theories embraced in the act and his
work as secretary Of the Wisconsin In
dustriaI Commission has given him a
wide knowledge of the field. Vincent
M. Miles, the third member of the board,
is little known here. His biographical
sketch indicates past activities chiefly
confined to the law and to politics, and
his selection as the third member OF the
board may represent the Presidents
acknowledgment of the demands OF
politics-even in board of this sort.
The board is neither as strong nor
as weak as it might have been and un-
doubtedly represents a compromise with
the extreme elements with which the
President had to deal. The boards prin-
cipal task will be in laying the ground
work of broad policy in administering
an act that will become more compli-
Gated as the number of beneficiaries
increases.

One of the most eminent American
biologists of the day was Clarence King
Of the United States Geological Survey
1t so happened he was much better
geologist than anthropologist. When
he examined the skull he lent the
weight of his authority to its genuine
ness as true antique.
If the story of it's finding had been
true it certainly would have been very
remarkable, indeed-by far the Oldest
human specimen ever found. 1t would
have dated back beyond the ice ages,
according to the geological evidence.
1t was, in fact, a very curious skull
but not exactly primitive. 1t finally
was deposited in the Peabody Museum
of Harvard University.
The claims for the CalaveraS skull
were demolished, largely through the
painStaking work of the late DR.. William
H. Holmes of the United States National
Museum. He was aided by other an
thropologistS who were opposed to the
thesis that any very ancient men had
lived in the New World.
They went over the ground with great
care and proved rather conclusively
that if the skull ever had been in the
thrown there, probably as a joke. Local
residents furnished affidavitS as to the
circumstances, which varied widely in
detail.
The anthropologistS supposed that II
had been picked up from an old Indian
burial ground nearby and was the skull
of modern Indian.
But, DR.. Merriam now believes, if the
relic was planted in the shaft by a
crowd of jolly good fellows having
some good clean fun at the expense
of the choleric old doctor, they made
the mistake of picking up the one skull
which really was ancient and that they
obtained it from a nearby cave.
1T has been the privilege of the
writer" says DR.. Merriam, Ito follow
many of the stories through long and
difficult route which has led to eX-
plantations not easily obtained by
earlier investigators. The skull, which
was thought by some to have been taken
from an Indian burial ground and
placed in the mine as a joke, now
appears to have come from cave de-
post, perhaps of considerable age. Nu-
merouS artifactS, supposed to have been
obtained in the auriferous gravelS, now
are known to have been washed to the
places where they were found by large
scale operations of hydraulic mining.
1.-The fact that the CalaveraS skull
occurrence, put forward with such care
by leading scientists, seemed to be dis
credited may have had influence in
making 1t appear that other occurrences,
especially of flint implements assumed
to come from ice age deposits, were
also untrustworthy. 1t may not be too
much to say that Bret Harte'S poem had
real influence in retarding advance of
knowledge relative to the antiquity of
man. But the story of this skull was
more complicated than we assumed, and
it now seems that the general record of
mans presence over America is also a
more difficult problem for investigation
than appeared originally"

piece against the educators who have

Perhaps in the end the problem may
be committed to the youngsters them
selves to solve. Such course would be
democratic, if nothing else. And by re-
sort to 1t the verdict of the next genera
ton might be anticipated. A natural
art instinct is growing up in America,
and when it attainS its maturity it is
almost certain to make short shrift of

Defense Highway.

In the reconstruction of the Defense
Highway, which has been proposed by
the Maryland State Roads Commission
in consequence Of the tragedy of last
Tuesday, when five persons were killed
in crash at dangerous point on that
too narrow road, there is more to be
done than the widening and the elimi-
nation of the treacherouS dirt SldingS
to cause the disturbance OF equilibrium.
There are curves to be modified and also
blanketing banks to be reduced, in order
to afford more perfect vision for drivers.
In short, the highway in its present
condition violates all the principles OF
safe road making:
No expense should be spared in the cor
rection of these conditions, which have
cost many lives and will continue to
take deadly toll as long as they remain,
whatever the width of the highway or
the condition Of the ~sidings. The
true measure of a public thoroughbred
safety is that of it's greatest use. In
other words, the highway should be
made safe for the largest use, which
is that of the week ends. when, in
present circumstances, travel upon it
is not only hazardous, but preposterously
slow, owing to the great congestion.
This artery serves motoring COM
munity of several million people. 1t
is a link between the Capital of the
United States and the capital of Mary
land and 1t connects with shore resorts
where multitudes of people assemble
during the Summer. 1t should be re-
garded as one of the vital arteries of
the State and made to conform to the
highest standard of accommodation and
security. A major operation is required
to bring it up to that standard and
that operation should be undertaken
as speedily as possible, whatever may
be the means employed to provide the
necessary funds.

New Deal Art.

New Deal art has been radical In
character. Those responsible for the
Governments endowment of painters
and sculptors have been sympathetic
with modernism. BY way of result a
great number of abortive canvases and
equally futile creations in bronze and
plaster are to be seen in public build
ings in Washington and elsewhere. Even
in the White House visitor may in
spect the efforts of immature disciples
Of Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin,
Matisse, Picasso and the other less
famous but not less dangerous ere
formers" of generation ago. An even
tual bonfire is foreshadowed.
But it is likely to be less easy to
correct the scandal than might be sup
posed. For example, the Board of Edu-
cation of Los Angeles just now is in
volved in bitter controversy over its
right to order removed from a trade
school wall hideous mural placed
there by Leo KATE, an artist sponsored
by the Federal authorities and paid
from funds raised by taxation. The

The fact that more buyers are registering
shows, furthermore, that larger num-
Der of merchants are providing against
q heavier Fall trade than heretofore.
This would in turn indicate that the
prospect for better retail business covers
a wider area. The estimates of a gen
eral increase In Fall sales range from ten
to fifteen per cent, possibly more. This
would suggest that in the Judgment of

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The ghost of gruesome joke IS rising
from its grave after 10 years to plague
Psychologists
Supposedly inferred In oblivion after
years of bitter controversy branded as
the grim horSeplay of a drunken saloon
keeper, the Calaveras skull of Bret
Harte'S poem may be resurrected as a
highly respectable fossil.
Such, at least, is the intimation of
DR. John c. Merriam, president of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
who has been interested in the problem
for many years and has traced down
some of the stories concerning it in
connection with the problem of early
man in America.
The joke, one Of the most famous
perpetrated in America. may turn out
to have been on the jokerS.
Back in 1866 the theory of evolution
was new and shocking.
To some the DarWinian suggestion
that man might have been derived from
an apelike ancestry was sacrilegious, but
to others it was highly amusing and
anybody who talked about it seriously
was considered rather eccentric.
At that time, during the gold rush
days, there was a crowd of jolly good
fellows in the little settlement of Bald
Hill, Calaveras County, Calf. There
was also a rather eccentric, choleric
doctor named Jones. He had read
Darwin and thought there might be
something to the idea. He used to
putter around the hills in his spare
time, picking up old Indian skulls.
When he talked about it in the
saloon it seemed very funny to the mine
operator, the storekeeper and the saloon
keeper. The latter. it so happened. was
in rather chronic i'll health. He INDUCED
literally in his own wares. The doctor
himself enjoyed an occasional joke. He
did not hesitate, SO the story goes, to
give his patient medicine for his hang
overs, the purpose of which was only
incidentally curative.
The angry patient wanted to pay
the doctor back in kind. One day,
so the story runs, way occurred to
him while he was sitting over his cups
with the miner and storekeeper. The
neutrality-suspicious. to one version
and there are several-picked up an
old Indian skull, put it in burlap bag,
and sent it around to DR.. Jones house
WIFI Ills COIlpllIucllIS dIlu Vic SGOiy 1iio'
the miner had just found it at the
bottom of a shaft 100 feet deep. Some
said it had been under the counter OF
the store for some time.
Several days later, according to the
story one Bald Hill resident told years
later when the incident had become of
wide interest, DR.. Jones was seen to
open his front door, curSing violently
and throw the skull into the street.
THAT -" he was quoted as saying.
told me this came from the bottom OF
new shaft and here I find cobWeDS
in it."
But later the skull was retrieved,
perhaps by the doctor himself and 1t
was lying around the settlement
year later when Prof. Whitney, State
geologist of California, stopped there.
He asked questions about it and took
charge of it.
The cronies had started more than
they could finish. They had to stick
to their story-and whatever the truth
about the specimen may have been it
certainly was not contained in the
account thev gave
