Firemen Wait Two Years,

Wis as assistant chief.
But now they're considering all
sorts of dire action against Davis.
because he spoiled the chance the
department had awaited for two
years.
For "a months members of the de-
partment drilled faithfully, waiting
for the day they could show their
prowess in a real fire.
It finally came, and when the fire
alarm rang the members turned out
in force-all except Davis. Not wait
ing for their assistant chief, the vol
unteer firemen dashed to the scene.
They found Davis coming out of
the house, their destination. He
had arrived ahead of the depart.

Cradle of Human Race

Uganda, in eastern equatorial At
RIGA, has a strong claim to be the
cradle Of the human race. After
spending Ave months in central and
east Africa, Prof. Van Riet Lowe,
director of the bureau of archaeology,
- firmly convinced of this. ProfeS-
sor Lowe visited the scenes Of the
discoveries made more than 20 years
ago by E. ]. Wayland, director Of
Uganda Geological surveys. and aft
erward said: LAS a result Of this
work a great deal of knowledge was
gained and the story Of man in
Uganda found to be complete from
the end of the Pliocene period, that

Uganda has very much older re-
mains than any other part Of AZ

Ghostly Fleet Receives
Another Ship in Gulf

MOBILE, ALA.-Another ghost
ship has found a final resting place
in this Alabama seaport after leav-
ing the secret of its crews fate be-
meath the rolling waters of the Gulf
Of Mexico.
The three-masted British schoon-
er Gloria Colita left Mobile late in
January with cargo of lumber des-
tined for South America. Her home
port was listed as st. Vincent, Brit
ish West Indies.
Three weeks later the trim little
vessel was towed back into Mobile
by the United States coast guard
cutter Cartigan, ripped and torn, its
riggings in tatters and deck-housing
battered into splinters-and crew
less.
Its crew of eight and skipper had
mysteriously vanished. Part of q
yellowed log fiuttered about the de-
serted deck, but it shed no light on
the crews fate.
The crew of the cutter that sal
vaged the hulk about 200 miles out
in the gulf from Mobile believes
that a sudden squall came up and
swept the entire crew overheard be-
fore they could get the sails down.
Evidence Of this theory lies in
the fact the schooner had one main
sail still partly aloft, Tapping wildly
in the wind, when the coast guard
spotted it.

First U. S. Railroads

It is generally conceded that the
credit for having constructed and
put into operation the first railway
in the United States belongs to the
Granite Railway company of Massa-
chusetts. The charter of this road
was granted by the Massachusetts
legislature on March 4, 1926, upon
petition of the Bunker Hill associa-
ton, in order to bring down from
the quarry at Quincy to a wharf on
the Neponset river the granite need
ed to build the Bunker Hill monu-
ment. The second railway of the
country was built about year later,
in Pennsylvania. Cars began rum
ming on it in May, 1927. 1t was used
to transport anthracite coal from the
mines in Carbon county to a wharf
on the Lehigh river at Mauch Chunk,
distance of nine miles.

Another Fish Story

A salt water fish can swim over
and look fresh water fish in the
eye in canal at Coral Gables, Fla,
without either leaving its favorite
medium. The reason is that an un-
derground stream breaks through
the limestone crust and flows at a
000-gallon-a-minute rate into the
canal near where it empties into
salty Biscayne bay. Black bass and
other fresh water fish live in the
vicinity of the spring. In other parts
of the canal and in the bay there
are such salt water denizens as snap
perS and bonito.

many New Workers to dress up in

the day drinking beer and playing
