CONTRACT |SLET
FORPOOL P|L|NGS
100000 P. W. A. Park
Program Brought Step
Nearer Completion.

Secretary Ickes yesterday awarded
a $4,000 contract to the BIZ Con-
struction Co. of New York for the
driving of piles for the foundation for
the new swimming pool in Anacostia
Park, bringing step nearer final
completion the $1,000,000 Public
Works Administration local park i'm
provement program.
The $4,000 job is supplemental
contract to the BIZ firm, because the
park authorities decided that, in view
of the flood Of last March, the foun-
dations should be strengthened by
driving piles.
The Charles H. Tompkins Co. Of
this city, which has the contract for
building a swimming pool in East
Potomac Park at the field house, has
submitted supplemental figures for
the pile-driving job for the founda-
tions there. Engineers Of the Ma
honal Park Service are examining
these before recommending to Secre-
tary Ickes q definite award.
With the exception of the SWIM
ming pools and some work in the
Mall, the 81 100000 P. w. A. park
program is about completed, G. Mar
shall Finnan, superintendent Of the
National Capital Parks, said yester-
day. He promised definitely that the
two new swimming pools would be In
public operation for next Summer.
Final inspection of work that has
been proceeding in Meridian Hill
Park for the past several weeks will
be made by Finnan tomorrow. The
proposed fountain along Sixteenth
street has been installed, and the
engineers are working out final de-
tails. The Fine Arts Commission has
approved the design for this, which

Norman Wesley Robinson, 27, COL
ored, former convict and highway rob-
ber, was held for the grand jury yes
terday afternoon by a coroner's jury
which heard testimony that he had
confessed in detail to the brutal mur-
der of Mrs. Florence Goodwin, AZ
year-old Treasury Department typist
Detective Sergt. Jerry Flaherty of
the homicide squad testified that
Robinson was returned to the scene
of the crime and demonstrated how
he let himself into Mrs. Goodwin's
rooming house at 1902 Sixteenth street
and shattered her skull with a furnace
shaker as she lay asleep on her studio
couch.
The murder occurred shortly after

A New Discovery
By John P. Douglass

A new discovery has just been
made for the. relief of Hay Fever,
Asthma, Catarrh, Sinus Trouble and
Head Colds. Why spend restless
nights counting sheep and worrying
about what you might get to relieve
you of all your suffering, why keep
on suffering and worrying over your
condition, when we have a medicine
now that gives you relief. You may
say to yourself, I just can't seem to
get anything that will relieve me of
this terrible head cold. 1t just keeps
me troubled all the time, or this
Asthma, just nearly shuts my wind
completely off, or this Catarrh, Just
keeps my nose so sore! Or maybe
your trouble may be Sinus trouble
which is very bad or head colds. Well,
now if you will just stop to think
your worries, for relief, of these all
ments, would be over, if you would
consult one Of our agents or go to
your nearest druggist or call 10.

The really scientific way of brush
ing the hair to stimulate the scalp
is as follows: Part the hair from
The middle of the forehead straight
lack. Then lay the brush on it's side,
with the br,stles facing the part and
draw it upward and sideward through
the hair. AS you do this, rotate the
brush so that the bristles turn down
through the strands of hair, lifting
them upward with the brush as the
brush is pulled outward. Continue
to rotate the bristles until the brush
has made a half turn. The bristles
should be facing away from the head
as each stroGe is completed. After
doing this en- both sides of the part,
make new part about one-half inch
farther down the side of the head
and repeat the process until the
whole head has been brushed.

noticed my trouble and recommended
to me his own Discovery; also gave
me free trial for six weeks. The
result was that have not only found
relief, but can truthfully say, that /

l am glad to pass this information
to any who may have experienced my
trouble. I heartily recommend you
to give Mr.. Douglass Discovery a
trial.

site where the original Peking man
was found 40 miles southwest of
Peiping, said the skulls shatter
all doubts that man is descended
from dwarfed apes.
Science. he declared, now has
skulls offering indisputable evi-
dence OF "a continuous line of
evolution through the Sinanthro-
pus and Neanderthal stages to
present man."
Professor Weidenreich is work
ing with the Cenozoic research
laboratory of the National Geolog-
ical Survey, which is supported by
a Rockefeller endowment.
The two skulls were found two
feet apart in a cave, covered with
the rock and dirt accumulation of
ages. at Chou-Kou-Tien where a
young Chinese geologist found a
shell of brown bone in 1929 and
gave science its closest answer TO
the long-sought missing link" of
human heredity.
The female skull found by Prof.
Weidenreich was reported to be
strikingly similar to that of the
Java Ape Man." who goes by the
name of Pithecanthropus ErectuS
among scientists.
The male skull, reported today
by Prof. Weidenreich, was said to
resemble the Neanderthal man.
From these facts the professor
was convinced that the Pithecan-
thropus and Sinathropus types
the Java ape man and the Peking
man-are in the same category,
thus providing a continuous line
of evolution.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-11-25

Prof. Weidenreich cautiously
placed the age of the two new
skulls at somewhere between 500,-
900 and 100000 years.
The skulls were said to be in
good condition, complete with IA
cial bones and Uranium, thus prom
iSing to make the discovery even
more important from a scientific
standpoint that the Piltdown man
found in England), the Neander-
thai man or the Java ape-man
skull.
If, as it is believed, the Adam
and Eve" skulls actually belonged
to prehistoric beings living at the
time or before thS time of the
Peking man they are expected to
give further corroboration to a
theory that the Sinanthropus man
was "a comparatively intelligent
being who, since the beginning of
the ice age, habitually stood erect"
The 100000 year estimate as
the age of the skulls was arrived
at largely by the fact that the
foSsiled remains of a Saber-toothed
tiger and a prehistoric deer known
to have existed that long ago were
unearthed nearby.
Although Professor Weidenreich
is deferring a detailed explanation
of his discoveries until he has had
ample opportunity to study the
skulls. other scientists believe he
has found the core of evidence
that the Java man
more ape than human-was mere
ly an offshoot of the Sinanthropus
family.
