Speech Flaws Retard
PUPILS, College Finds

STATE COLLEGE, PA.-Speech-
handicapped children in American
public schools outnumber the com.
bined total Of the blind, deaf and
crippled students, according to DR..
Herbert Koepp-Baker, associate pro-
fessor of speech at Pennsylvania
State college.
DR.. Baker declared that children
with impediments of speech are
handicapped in recitation and their
scholarship average suffers as a re-
suit.
Their personalities become more
and more warped, and many ordi-
nary jobs are closed to them," he
said. Early discovery and correc-
ton can reduce such losses and
prevent EMBELLISHMENTS in personal
ity as WELL"
Penn State speech specialists
have maintained travelling speech
clinic for the past nine years. At
the request of school districts, more
than 1000 children in % districts
have been examined and corrective
procedures prescribed by members
Of the college faculty.
The mobile clinic also serves as

Record of Indian Trek
500 Years Ago Found

BERKELEY, CALIF.-An anthro-
pologist's successful four year
search for the rare old document
known as the Codex Fernandez Leal,
picturing Mexican Indian migra-
ton some time between the Eighth
and Fifteenth centuries, was hailed
today as a signal contribution to
early Mexican history.
The document, about nine feet
long and so fragile it suggests an
Egyptian parchment. was made
from so-called wild silk, experts
say, and painted with mineral and
vegetable colorings of astonishing
brilliance. 1t is said to be at least
500 years old.
The search was conducted by DR..
John Barr Tompkins, research fel-
low in anthropology at the Univer-
sity Of California. The codex was
found, wrapped in brown paper, in
seldom visited corner of the
Crocker First National banks stor-
age vault in San Francisco. It is
to be turned over to the Bancroft
library here.
The codex pictures a long migra-
ton Of an unidentified Indian tribe
from point in what now is Guate-
mala, northward through the 18TH
mus Tehauntepec. Experts say the
tribe may have been the Cuicatecan
Of the Aztec period, whose descend

In Chicago Hotel

George Motarie, "a, Great Falls,
Montana, and his bride Of one
month, Shirley, %, were arrested
recently in a Chicago Hotel, and
are being held for Minnesota auth
critics in connection with a series
Of robberies.
Motarie is wanted in connection
with the robbery of the White Spot

River for robberies, Motarie, is be-
lieyed to be the man, who, follow

Oldest Living Trees Are
Found in Texas Region

The oldest living trees on the
American continent, and perhaps in
the world, are the cedars which are
found in remote parts of the Trans
Pecos region Of Texas, according to
H. L. George, civil engineer and
forester. These trees grow in semi
arid soil that is almost pure gypsum
and are several thousand years old
er than the giant redwoods in Cali
fornia, Mr.. George said.
''Some time ago / was retracing
some Of the surveying work done
by Jacob Keuchler, an early sur
veyor who located lands west Of the
Pecos river. about 40 miles north Of
Kent, Texas" he said. ''This work
was done in 1879. He marked trees
with a cross. These cedars have
not grown sufficiently in SO years to
cover these marks. Several Of the
trees were on our survey line and
had to be cut, and at that time we
noticed that their rings were so close
together that they could not be seen
without the aid of powerful mag
nifying glass.
by examining several of the
trees closely, we found there were
approximately 70 rings to the quar-
ter inch. At this rate of growth, one
inch would cover a span of 280
years, and since some of these trees
are SO inches in diameter, they
would be approximately 10000
years old.
''The trees seem almost inde-
structible, and when they are cut
down, the wood is so dry and hard
that even live tree has the appear.
ance Of a dead one," Mr.. George
added. Stakes cut from the trees
and driven into the ground in 1879
are still in perfect state Of preser-
walton, he said.
