Movement Of Displaced
Persons 5000 Years Ago

3 A movement of displaced per
sons" 5000 years ago from what is
now southern Arizona to what has
become New Mexico, has been re-
ported by the Chicago Natural His
tory museum. Evidence of this mi
grafton of primitive Cochise Indians
who packed their possessions and
moved north has been discovered
by expedition headed by DR.. Paul S.
Martin. The movement apparently
was not a political displacement
but. rather, and economic one.
The expedition, operating in west
ern New Mexico, has also discov-
cred approximately 1000 feet above
sea level the highest site of prehis-
toric Mogollon Indian culture
known to date and has begun exca-
vations upon it, reports DR., Martin,
who is chief curator Of anthropol-
ogy at the museum.
On the DIP evidence DR.. Martin
writes: THE erosion that has done
and is continuing to do so much
damage throughout the Southwest
had quietly worked for archaeolo-
gists during the last SO years. It
revealed a camp site that thou
sands of years ago had been the
stamping grounds of the ancient
Cohise Indians, who, forced to
leave Arizona for lack of water,
had journeyed hundreds of miles
before finding a small permanent
stream in the mountains Of west
central New Mexico.

During the meeting a suggestion
was made by Roscoe Garrison, that
a dixie could be built to prevent
future floods. The dixie he pro
posed would extend from the rail
road embankment just west of the
railroad bridge across Libby Creek
south paralleling Libby Creek to

idea was endorsed as feasible by

Valuable Fur Animal

The pine marten, also called
American sable by virtue of its
close relationship to the rare and
valuable sable of the Old World, is
much sought by a few hardy trap
pers in the higher mountains of
California. The marten has body
about the size of a slender house
cat, and like other members of the
weasel family, to which it is affili-
ated, it has short legs. The tail is
bushy and the head broad, tapering
sharply to a pointed nose. 1t is rich
golden-brown in color except for a
vivid orange patch on the throat
and chest. Furriers work the skins
into scarves and neckpieces or pc
casionally use them as trimming
for high quality coats and wraps.
Marten fur usually sells for two or
three times the price of mink.

The national park service has as
sumed jurisdiction over the Theo-
dore Roosevelt National Memorial
park, Billings county, N. D. The
park, bordering the Little Missouri
river, contains approximately 35,-
'27O acres and was established by
congress on April Is, l947. The land
comprising the park was acquired
by the government as part of a
recreational demonstration area
and for the past year has been in
corporated in the Roosevelt Ma
tional Wildlife refuge The park lies
to the north of U. S. highway No. 10
and contains some of the most spec
tacular North Dakota badlands for
nations. The area is a memorial to
Theodore Roosevelt because of his
activities there between 1888 and
1896. Included within the authorized
boundaries of the park is the site of
the Elkhorn ranch, which was de-
veloped by Roosevelt and used as
headquarters for extended hunting
trips.

In an interview with Carlton
Joughin, executive of the Zonolite

the Zonolite expanding plant had
18 inches of water standing in it

It is impossible to list the many
homes which were damaged in the

flooding from waters backed up and

completing the flood control work
on Flower Creek several weeks ago,
resulted in much of that work be-

Limestone the Scavenger

Limestone is used in steelnaking
as well as in the manufacture of
pig iron. The limestone is pushed
by machine through the doors of the
open hearth furnace, and the long
arm then rotates, emptying the
limestone onto the hearth. The
limestone melts and forms a Stag
which floats on top of the molten
metal in the furnace. Stag is
scavenger, it helps to purify the
metal by removing the impurities
which the blast furnace left In the
pig iron. Most of the carbon in the
metal is removed as a gas after
combining with the air in the fur
mace. Through other chemical re-
actions the Stag absorbs silicon and
other impurities which may be pres
ent.

HIt-and.Run Drivers
Can Be Traced by FBl

The FBI can trace cars used by
hit-and-run drivers by examining
tiny speck of automobile paint. BY
using a recording spectrophotome-
ter, an electronic device that can
distinguish 100000 different colors,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
compares the clue with file Of
standard paint samples from auto
mobile manufacturers
"In the FBI laboratory we receive
evidence of many hit-and-run cases
where the driver leaves the scene
E. OF, an. accident" said D. J. Parsons
of that laboratory in G. E. science
forum talk. THE clue most helpful
to the investigators is information
as TO the kind Of car involved.
"Frequently the clothing of the
victim struck down on the highway
will be examined, and minute
specks or smears Of paint from the
automobile are found and removed, "
Mr.. Parsons declared in the broad
cast over WGY and WGFM. 1.-THE
ability of the questioned material to
absorb or reflect the various colors
and hues of the visible spectrum is
determined. The instrument most
useful in this procedure is the re-
cording spectrophotometer,
1.-THE results of the analysis thus
performed are searched in the Ma
tional Automotive Paint File which
contains the standard samples o.
paints and finishes used by the va
rious automobile manufacturers"

Comdr. Charles D. Mott, the new
champion of the Washington Chess
Diyan. is about as different as pos
sible from the conventional stereo-
type of the sedentary, greybearded
chess player.
He was born at Philadelphia in
1914, and learned chess in the fam.
ily circle when a youngster. He went
to the University of Pennsylvania,
and captained its chess team IN 1880:
Comdr. Mott has been in the United
States Navy since 1887, and has
been with the air arm from the
beginning. In 1941 he went to China
with Gen. Chenault's Flying Tigers,
a group picked for their elasticity
and toughness. He was ultimately
shot down near Bangkok, FORUM
ately not until 1912, after the United
States had entered the war.
During his first year as a prisoner
of the Japanese he was on insult
flcient ratiors and his weight drop
ped at an alarming rate, but there
after the reduction in japanese mer-
chant shipping effected by Ameri-
can submarines left a surplus OF
food in his area, and he had, at
least, plenty Of rice to eat.
He celebrated his return from
captivity by winning the champion
ship of Corpus Christi, Tex, in 1916
thereby stimulating the natives
to hold the United States Open
championship there the following
summer. BY last year he had shifted
base and stood fourth in the
