GUARD NEW "BOMB
SIGHT" FROM SPIES
New Device Proves Efficient
in Severe Tests.

Washington.-Foreign military at
taches here were alarmed over re-
ports that the United States army
had acquired and approved, after
severe tests, a radical device for
control Of bombing which may rev.
olutionize the entire system of aeri-
al bombardment.
On recent maneuvers a Fort Ben
ming, Ga, army iaviators flying at
10000 feet dropped bombs on a
mean radius Of 40 feet scoring hits
never before equalled.
The device, a new bomb sigh" !"
Is guarded SO closely that few
army pilots and no airplane manu-
facturer is permitted to see it. The
commanding officer keeps the sight
under heavy guard in a safe, re-
leasing it only to a bombing Off
Ger going on maneuvers.
The pilot does not see the sight
as the bombing officer keeps it in
a case until he is in the bomb bay
and then fits it into place.
So effective is the device that
army aviators claim it cannot
miss"
Operation of the sight is SO SIM
pie, engineers say. that it is expect
ed to revolutionize bombardment
tactics. Instead of using cumber-
some bornbers, engineers say the
new device opens the way for con-
struction of light bombers operat-
ed by one man.
Military attaches were known to
be gravely concerned over develop
ment of the device as it may force
all nations to alter their bombing
plane construction if they can OBJ
tain the secret now held solely by
the United States.

Prehistoric Bones Found
in Ancient Texas Site

Dallas.-Search for the ruins of
an ancient civilization has begun
in Rockwall, a little town 25 miles
north of Dallas, which was named
because of an old wall buried six
feet under ground near the city.
II the theory of R. F. Canup,
Rockwan business man, is correct,
an ancient buried city will be un-
covered.
Undismayed by reports from a
few geologists that the old wall is
the work of nature, Canup declared
he would continue his excavations
until he finds the bottom of the wall
or the city.
Excavation has been underway
for the past three months and has
resulted in uncovering a structure
to a depth of about eight feet for
a distance of 120 feet.
In the open cut along the wall,
Canup has found large collection
of fossils, some of which were said
to be bones of prehistoric animals.
Many students of rock forma-
ton have told me that no natural
formation could be as symmetrical
or as consistent in its direction
around the town as this WALL" Can
up said. Among the geologists
who believe that the wall is man.
made is Count de Prorok, who wis.,
tied Rockwall 10 years ago and de-
clared that it is certainly the work
Of man."
1.-The fact that the wall turns
and makes square corner leads
me to believe that it is man-made
masonry" he said, because nature
does not, as a rule, build corners
in this fashion,"

Naming of Polar Bear
Strained Diplomatic Tie

Sydney.-By hastily changing the
name of polar bear in the local
geological gardens from ''Koscius-
ko" to Polar" zoo officials are
convinced they have averted an in
ternational incident.
The zoo, which is operated by
the Taronga park trust, had de-
cided to call the polar bear Kos
ciusko." The name appeared in-
nocent enough and the bear ap-
peared quite happy.
Unfortunately, copy of Walk
about published by the Australian
National Travel association, con-
tanning photograph of the bear
with his baptismal name fell into
the hands Of the historic Polish FAM
lily, Boleslaw Strzelecki, chairman
Of the Strzelecki family committee,
who Immediately sent the following
ultimatum to the editor of Walk
about:
ut is really unbelievable that a
civilized Australian magazine could
use great foreign heroes names for
their geological exhibits. I would
highly appreciate your apology be-
fore would be compelled to file my
protest officially"
To prevent a possible information
al incident the Walkabout ap-
pealed Immediately to the Taronga
park trust, the latter to the Austria

was granted to change the bears
