Noah's Oldest Passenger
Was Chinese Cinkgo Tree

WASHINGTON. - Noah's oldest
passenger aboard the Ark apparent
ly was the Chinese ginkgo tree.
1t is a survival of the Jurassic
geological era of about 15O,000,0 900
years ago, according to DR.. Roland
w. Brown, of the United States geo
logical survey. Most other living
things took their present form not
more than 60,000,0O0 years ago, he
said.
In a park near the White House,
Doctor Brown has discovered one
ginkgo practically indistinguishable
from fossil specimens of the earli-
est period. Such a ginkgo is almost
as remarkable as would be a TWEEN
tieth century dinosaur, he said.

JOBLESS TO GET
 3O-DAY CHECKS
Weekly Distribution to Part=Time Unemployed
 in State Discontinued

Unemployed residents of this city who are eligible for benefits of the unemployed compensation act, and who received first benefit checks last week, waited in vain for repeat payments this week.
 Numerous complaints were made, but under the circumstances, no blame can properly be placed on any of the officials. Understanding individuals took into consideration the fact that there are yet largo number of claimants who have not even received their first checks.
 With almost 100000 persons seek ing the benefits, either for part time or full-tirne unemployment, the distribution office of the commits sion in @ scene of hustle and bus tie, as workers labor at top speed, attempting to reduce what appears to be an ever-increasing number of applications.
 This number was somewhat din- tnished last week when MT. Tone announced that part-time unem- ploycd would receive checks only once a month, instead of every week. After every person eligible for the payments has received his first check, all payments will be made on smoother routine. according to MT. Tone. <.
 The local office of the commission is continuing its program in the ac- ceptance of applications and orig inal claims for filing with the Hart ford office.

partment staff would assist MT. Ger man. Protection of residents from possible disease due to unsanitary pipes is the main reason for the survey.
 The survey is in line with pro- ject instituted by the state health department, and which has been followed out by many of the larger cities of the state.
 After the water tanks and piping systems of the larger buildings, in- cluding hotels, apartment houses, factories and office buildings have been thoroughly inspected, the sur vey will be extended to the smaller buildings, according to Dr. Godfrey.
 Among the features to be taken into consideration by the health de- partment will be: the source of the drinking water supply: the type of building, number of floors, number of tanks, descriptions of tanks, air conditioning equipment, and the condition of the interior piping.
 Following the inspection the of ficials in charge will file a complete report of the details with the health department. Recommendations will be made for repairs wherever they are deemed necessary by the inspec- tors. Suitable measures will be pro- vided for enforcement in the event changes are not made as recom- mended by the health officers.
