Jones of Washington than President Hoover is the son of Jackie Coogan. Yet Jones gets all the credit and the country probably will keep his Elmira, N. Y.

Senator Jones was delighted.

Breasted, director of the oriental institute, University of Chicago. Though the recorded time of man’s | advent has been regarded Daag ago, . Breasted said that recent Egyptian records show it was “at least several hundred thousand years ago; or very much earlier if we follow the geolo- gists who estimate the length of the Pleistocene era at nearly or quite a million years ago.” These prehistoric men whose rec- ords were found in Egypt were the same sort of men as have been iden- tified elsewhere especially in Europe, as first appearing at later dates. They had about the same culture, used the same kinds of stone tools, and are designated by the same names, Chel- lean and Acheulean. . Abrupt First Appearance In Egypt, as in other places where these earliest records have been un- covered, there is an abrupt first ap- pearance. The. several geological strata of earth known to precede im- mediately that in which men's tools are found, reveal no traces of man at all, The human evidence appears all at.once, and thereafter gives evidence of continuous existence. Dr. Breasted described a new way of dating these early relics. This is to concentrate on search for remains embedded in layers of earth, the gco- logical ages of which are known. It is assumed that the human evidence must have been deposited when the now buried stratum was forming on the carth’s surface. : Find ‘Dated’ Strata In Egypt the Chicago .geologist- anthropologists found the “dated” strata in a place named the Fayum, about 60 miles south of Cairo, once |’ the bed of « great lake. In the old- est of the strata there they found nothing indicating presence of hu- man beings but in the fifth from the bottom they discovered the tools of prehistoric man. Dr. Breasted said that in an early | jevee. the Sahara . was “a ll-watered, and vegetation- plateau.” CHICAGO MASSACRE Be sree Mystery Plane Seen Flying Over Atlantic London, April 20—()—A_ British trawler fishing about 250 miles west of the Outerhebrides, or 300 miles west of the western Scotch coast, re- ported an airplane passed over it eatly today, flying eastward. ‘The siauind of .he plane was a mystery f ere. SENATOR NYE BACKS | NAMING OF COULTER Selection of North Dakota Man on” Federal Farm Board “Wyn Approval’ Pitgo, N. D., April 20.—(7)—Sen- ator Gerald P: Nye of North: Dakota isin favor of appointment of Dr. John Lee ‘Coulter, president of the North. Dakota Agricultural college and chairman of the Northwest Ag- ricultural Foundation, as a member of the prospective federal farm board. In a statement telegraphed from Washington, Nye ‘said, “The effort being made in support. of Dr. Coulter for a place on the farm board appeals to me as ‘being a selection more apt to win approval and success than any other northwest candidate who might be selected. “The support which has been ac- corded .him by. the Farmers union indicates a growing degree of confi- dence in Dr. Coulter which I can thoroughly appreciate and I shall be delighted to participate in the effort to win approval for him when the president makes the appointment to the farm board.” LEVEES CRUMBLING ALONG MISSISSIPPI Recruit Laborers in Arkansas to Fight Threatened Break Near Knowlton Snowflake, Ark., April .20.—(?)— One hundred additional laborers, re- cruited in Helena, Ark., this morning were on ,their way, to Knowltons landing to join a small army of workers fighting to prevent the breaking of the Mississippi river vernment them to the scene of the threatened SAMUEL T.

The girders were being hoisted on @ derrick when the boom broke and building, breaking through steel framework and new masonry and shattering the fronts of buildings across the street. ‘The new building is in the commis- sion house district of the lower west side, crowded with trucks carting produce of all kinds through narrow cobbled streets, and the neighborhood was thrown into panic by the acci- dent. Police reserves were called out to handle the crowds as rescue crews .| and repair gangs set to work. The broken derrick swung precari- ously as though about to follow the girders it had released and workmen were sent aloft to secure it. Sections of masonry also threatened to topple from twisted supports and these were removed and lowered in sections to prevent further disaster.

The chief executive authorized no statement concerning the and all Mr. Taber would say eye he expected “a good farm relief law before July 4.” The farm relief lead- er had no comment to offer on the president's statement yesterday urg- ing the farm organizations to get to- gether and present a united front. during congressional consideration of agriculture aid legislation.

Mr. Taber was expected ‘o confer late in the day with Secretary Hyde of the agriculture department.
