student at Northwestern. in 1887.
The find was made in road ex-
cavation. The skull lay on top of
a layer of permain clay, deposit
whose age biologists generally fix
as about lOO,0O0,O00 years. Erosion,
however, probably accounted for the
position, rather than antiquity.
The striking resemblanceS to hu-
man fossils considered in the Million
year-old class placed this Ellis
County man as probobly one of the
earliest Americans and raised the
question whether he may have
antedated any other human so far

The attack on Tobruk was made
by Stuka dive-bombers on Sunday
and Sunday night, the daily COM

hits destroyed port facilities, dam
aged large merchantmen and ST.
fenced British anti-aircraft bat

To Act on Other Levies.
Although the committee added
total of 1884, 900 900 to the House
bill by yesterdays changes. making
the total yield $3.50 100000, the
real test of how much the measure
will raise when it goes to the floor
awaits action on a score or more
Of proposed special excise taxes on
specific commodities or services ap-
proved by the House.
The committees swift progress of
yesterday is likely to slow down
! when it reaches the excise levies,
with indications that strenuous de-
mands will be made to eliminate
some of them or put in others
In addition to lowering personal
exemptions. the Senate group moved
to simplify the taxpayers job Of
filling out a return by merging the
special 10 per cent defense tax into
| a new schedule of surtaX rates.
Combining these two taxes into one
| rate will not increase the total tax
yield, but it will mean that some
individuals will pay slightly more
and others slightly less than when
the two taxes were figured sepa-
rately. This is due to the fact the
committee dropped fractions in
working out the combined rate.
House Required 3 Figurings.
As the bill came from the House,
all individual taxpayers would have
to go through three operations to
arrive at their total tax. FIRST
they would have figured their sur
tax. starting at 5 per cent on the
first 81 900 of net income and going
up on succeeding blocks OF income
Next, they would figure the nor
NAL tax, at per cent of their net
income, after deducting the earned
income credit.
Then they would add together the
two taxes thus obtained and apply
a 10 per cent increase to the total
for the defense tax.
What the Senate committee die
was to raise the schedule of surtaS
rates sufficiently to absorb the IL
per cent defense tax, but without
fractions. The result is new
schedule. which starts at per cent
on the first $4,000 and ends at n
per cent on income of $4,000, 900 OF
over The House range was from
per cent to IS per cent.
