The motors are similar to the one used by Colonel Charles A. Lind- bergh in the Spirit of St. Louis hop to Paris. The Wright J-6 motors sent “West Wind” through the air at a high speed of 150 miles an hour, and develop a cruising speed of 115 miles Tomorrow secretaries of the North Dakota commercial organizations will open a two-day session at the Asso- ciation of Commerce rooms here.

Be- side the gracefully shaped windows, the glass of which is adjustable, are comfortable wicker chairs with easy cushions. The aisle between the scats is as wide as that in a passenger train coach. One side of the ship is a com- fortable. lounge, which can be used for sleeping purposes. At the rear of the passenger com- partment, which is afferded full view of the pilot’s cabin, is a lavatory. Be- hind this is a large storage compart- ment, where suitcases can be packed in addition to the storage space in the wings. “People ask continuously about the «bout There- | Dr. Ida Treat Digs in Painted Cave Sections of France for Prehistoric Man FOUND OLDEST ART KNOWN Scours Around Hearths Built by. Man 30,000 Years Ago in Pyrenees’ Caverns New York, April 3.—(?)—For sheer, sustained thr‘ll, modern woman might do well to try digging into the earth instead of flying awav from it, judging from Dr. Ida Treat, paleon- tologist. Dr. Treat digs in the painted cave section of the Pyrannecs, France, for noise of the motors,” said Pilot Mam- er. “You hardly notice that. Our pessengers converse all the time they are flying, and never seem to realize the motors are operating. : “We are also asked many times about walking around in the plane. “West Wind’ affords the same free- om in its aisle that any train af- s.” PAROLE BREAKER ADMITS IDENTITY David Howat, parole breaker from the Mlinois state prison at Joliet, will waive extradition proceedings and return to the Illinois institu- tion peacefully, he announced this morning. Howat was struck by a hit-and-run driver. near here Sunday night and was taken to a local hospital. At the pospital he gave his name as both Davis Wilson and David Howat by mistake, he explains. Learning that the man was a former resident of linois, Chris J. Martineson, local chief of police, communicated with Tinois_ prison officials. The offi- cigls believed the patient to be David Howat. Acting upon instructions from Il- Minois, Martineson arrested the man this morning when he was released from, the hospital.

She has had the joy of un- covering one valuable burial that con- ined a pre-historic skeleton that was the very first of its kind to be found. She has unearthed some cur- ious animal frescocs that show the oldest art known. She has found many engraved pebbles, carved spear heads and many other implements and bones scattered around buried hearths of men who lived 30,000 years 0. “There is adventure, change and chance all bound up together in my work,” Dr. Treat explained her en- thusiasm and satisfaction in it. “I think paleontology the complete pro- fession. First, there is something fundamentally satisfying in digging. Scientific digging makes one use both her head and her hands. Lastly, I work half in the field and half in the French Museum of Natural History, in the laboratory of Paleontology. An Old World in the New “In addition, it is twice fascinating to explore an unknown, ancient world right in France, a country| where so many know every stone so well.” Of course there is a great deal of technique to be learned before any- one can start right out hunting pre- historic man. Dr. Treat studied bi ology and geology in Paris, and worked under Prof. Marcellin Boule in the French Museum of Natural History and is to receive her doctor of science degree this spring. When she took her Ph. D. in Romance Languages in Paris, before teaching here in America during the war, she Was the youngest woman ever to get such a degree there. She is visiting in her home country now for the first’ time since 1919. When one is fully equipped to know what to look for and how, finding a cave to dig in‘sounds a little like modern house hunting. “First, you pick a cave with a good south exposure,” Dr. Treat advised, “because of course these were dwell- ings and even prehistoric man appre- ciated the sun.

Traces of char- flint and bone mean a‘hearth, You will not find traces of the entrance of these caves AMERICAN ‘CAVEWOMAN’ WILL HUNT FOR FORGOTTEN PEOPLES Sometimes one cave has several lay- ers of civilization. The periods arc identified by the archeological layers of animal bones, flint tools and so on. You uncover layer after layer with a poker, carefully, examining everything, throwing sway nothing because a queer shaped stone may turn out to be a chisel 20,000 years old. .One works alone, or with per- haps a single ditch digger for heavy work. If anything delicate is found, plaster is poured over it and the whole mass removed to the labor- atory, where the plaster is chipped off carefully, with a needle. Aside from skill needed in this pre- historic man-hunting, it secms no profession for an old lady or an old gentleman. Those Nimble Ancients! One must be positively acrobatic, for prehistoric man was so agile he could leap casily upon balconies that must be scaled periously now with ropes. ‘Sometimes one crawls for Cays through low, dank caves or de- scends into gaseous carrion wells where prehistoric dead animals were thrown. There is an occasional icy underground torrent to be swum, clothes and all, and armies of bats to encounter whose wings sound like rushing water, so inany of them beat- ing together. There are even snakes in entrances. Last, but not least, there is the chance of cave panic, an unreasoning thing, hard to combat, the fear the best mountain climbers have. “Everyone has cave panic at least once,” Dr. Treat smiled. “But it is the least of one’s worries. The things that impress you are the great si- lences, the peace, the perspective one gets. For, after all, when you real- ize that civilization after civilization has disappeared into the earth to make way for another layer, it is im- possible to get greatly worried over the present generation.” 11:30 a. m.
