The Suprem, Court received a chal-
lenge today OF the constitutionality of
the statute giving the District Com.
missioners or their agents power to
revoke automobile drivers permits for
any cause they deem sufficient.
Alfred M. Laforest of 1887 w street
Sc. filed the attack following sus-
pension of his permit for Is days after
policeman had testified he had driven
80 miles per hour in 22-mile zone.
Declared Unconstitutional.
His petition contended that the
statute was unconstitutional
For the reason that it embraces an
unconstitutional delegation of power
to the Commissioners of the District
OF Columbia or their designated agents
For the reason that it deprives
petitioner of his property and rights
without due process of law.
That cruel and unusual punish
ment is inflicted, based upon the con-
viction of misdemeanor.

the Board of Revelations customarily
suspends or revokes such operators

same facts upon which an acouital
was obtained in court.
THE same is true even where no

The records of the Board of Revo-
cations will clearly show this situation
as fact.
Petitioner points to the great ex-
pense involved in appeal from such
abuses and to the financial inability

affected, such as taxi drivers, truck
drivers and the like.
Not Declared Traffic Cure.
Petitioner grants that the traffic
situation in the District of Columbia

not believe that an abusive power, un-

cure for such situation"

Reported New Tone Waves
Are Now Used to
Age Liquor

NEW YORK, jan 21-Music
hath charms to soothe the most
savage whiskey. In fact, it can mel
low and age the fiery liquid four
years in seven hours, science re-
vealed.
And the same scientific melody al
most instantly takes the indigestible
curd out of baby's milk.
OF course, it's not really music
in the swing" sense of the word
but it is sound of very high pitch
so high, in fact, that the waves of
tone are beyond the hearing ability
of the human ear.
These revelations were announced
by DR.. L. A. Chambers, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania medica
school, in an article published in
Nature, scientific publication.
Describing experiments in the
manufacture of musical milk ano

stated to be the equivalent to one

ON TRAIL or
ANCIENT man
Both Amateur and PROBES
sional Scientistas Are
Getting Busy

DENVER, Jan. Il. - Scientists,
amateur and professional, are on
the trail of an ancient man in the
West and soon may piece together
the pattern of an ancient civiliza-
ton.
Archaeologists l1age discovered re-
Gently in Western States several
levels of cultural horizons" in the
earth, each horizon containing evil
dence of an ancient mans life.
Now they are attempting to fit
the pieces of the story these hori-
IONS tell of the tribes that came
and disappeared before the Amer
ican Indian and the white man.
First Evidence
The first evidence of an ancient
civilization came from near Fol-
som, New Mexico There artifacts,
distinctly not those of the American
Indians, were found several years
ago.
Later Major Roy Coffin, profess
sor at Colorado State Penitentiary
an amateur archeologist, discovered
tool shop" near Fort Collins,
Colo, that the Folsom man un-
doubleday had used for years.
In northwestern Oklahoma last
year Bill Baker, County Agent at
Boise City, discovered traces of the
Folsomite in that region.
This week DR.. Erwin H. Barbour
professor of paleontology at the
University of Nebraska, announced
that five and possibly six cultural
horizons had been found in west
ern Nebraska.
Major Coffin said that evidence
of both the Yuma" man and the
Folsom" man have been found
near Fort Collins where experts
from the Smithsonian Institution
dug after the college professor
announced his find.
Was Long Ago
scientists estimate the Folsom
man lived about 10000 or $4,000
years ago. Major Coffin said.
1.-The Yuma man lived after the
Folsom man, because traces of the
Yuma man are found in layers OF
earth above the strata where the
Folsom evidence is located.
s'The Folsom man was an expert
workman, indicated by his ably
fashioned dart or spear points
scrapers. avis, knives and other
tools.

BRIEF SENATE SESSION
