Dr. G. H. R. Von Koenigswald, Dutch scientist of Bandoeng, Java, and a research associate of the institution, reported he had found part of a skull, the lower jaw, and a number of teeth of this part ape, part human crea- ture near the Solo river. This ancient man, he added, “is the most primitive fossil] man now known” and lived long be- fore the original pithecanthropus erectus. The first of this species was found in Java in 1890 and was believed until now to have been the earliest man on earth. Dr. Jolin C. Merriam, president of the institution said the new specimen proves that pithecan- thropus man had progressed above heart of all predatory The smallest animals is that of the lion. F, E.

That's why producers get 50 many grey hairs worrying over stage-sett- ings.” With Ben Cave, a graduate of the North Dakota agricultural college school of architecture, in charge, play- goers who see “Candida” can be sure of @ novel, interesting set, Monk said. Cave Designs Set All action takes place in a pastor’s study and the room is being papered in keeping with the early Victorian period in which the action of the play is laid. Cave was the designer of all sets for the Bison Brevities, annual NDAC musical show. Other committees are just as active, Monk said, with all members of the organization pushing ticket sales un- der the direction of Evalyn Grace Hermann and Marion Morton. In Mandan, Virginia Wright and Lila Clark, both Players members, are in charge of sales, For the convenience of those attend- ing, arrangements have been made with Woodmansee's Stationery store for those wishing reserved seats to reserve them at the store at no extra charge. Regular tickets may be ex- | wish. changed for reserved seats during the three days preceding the play, Wed- nesday, Thursday and Friday. Tickets also are being sold at Woodmansee’s by Mrs, Della Fox. Design Special Costumes Special costumes are being made for Marcelle LaRose MacRae as Candida, and Edith Ramstad as Prossie, in the y. Both have been rehearsing in lone skirts during the last few weeks in order to accustom themselves to the “swish” of the period gowns they will wear. In charge of assembling properties for the production is a committee headed by Wilma Goodwin. Assist- ing her are Louise Sween and Mrs. George Anderson. A new form of advertising was at- tempted by the publicity committee for this play. Opposite the Bismarck Tribune building a 24-foot billboard bears a “Candida” announcement. The ad was painted by Harrison. Monk and Ben Cave. FR URGES ICC 10 HELP RAILROADS Parries Question of Government Subsidy; Says He Has No Definite Plan Washington, Dec. 10.—()—Presi- dent Roosevelt said Friday the Inter- state Commerce Commission should seek to preserve the solvency of the nation’s railroads with a view to re- taining them under private manage- ment and private ownership. Discussing the financial situation of the carriers at » preas conference, the president said he wanted to avoid government ownership but, at the same time, he reminded railroad re- ceiverships could not continue with- out some steps being taken to adjust their financial set-up. Asked if a government subsidy was planned, he said that question was working toward straight state Social- ism and once that was started the same probably would be done with oil and other industries. Mr. Roosevelt said the administra- tion had no definite plan to help the railroads.

Billion Dollars Invested Four years after repeal, the “hard-liquor” tide has covered al- most the entire country. The six states in white are with state laws prohibiting liquor today, and none states has an absolutely “bone-dry” law. Six states are still dry as regards ‘dollars have been invested in the state liquor laws. Georgia licenses sale of beer and domestic wine only. Kansas and Oklahoma permit only 3.2 beer, Tennessee 5 per cent. Mississippi permits local option on 4 per cent beer. North Carolina, dry state-wide, per- mits counties to sell liquor if they Gradually Ge Dry Ot the 28 states (and the District of Columbia) which have license sys- tems, and the 14 states which have state monopolies, none has switched systems since repeal. Many “wet” states are gradually going dry locally. Ohio is “wet,” but already 16 per cent of her people live under some form of county or township prohibition. Kentucky, home of bourbon, has prohibition in almost a third of its counties. That recalls the situation just before national prohibition in 1920. Representative John J. Cochran of Missouri, surveying these dry patches on the map and comparing them with congressional districts, admits that “it would not take a great deal of agitation to foment a formidable pro- liquor and beer business, More than two billion dollars in tax revenue have gone into national, state, Loe local treasuries from liquor and rr.

But bootlegging is by no means gone. No one knows how much liquor is bootlegged. Estimates vary all the way from 15 to 40 per cent. Some bootlegging is “big” enough so that 98 people were indicted in one Phila- delphia ring. The revenuers are still seizing a half-million gallons of illicit booze each year. ‘Thus, four years after repeal, noth- ing has been settled about the liquor problem excepting the fact that noth- ing is ever settled about the liquor problem, Minnesota ‘Baby Bonus’ Law Isn’t St. Paul, Dec. 10.—(7)—Hopes for a state-sponsored “baby bonus” to families with seven girls or boys born consecutively ended Thursday with an opinion by At- torney General William 8.

Chester, as 3,000 industrialists wound up their annual convention with a “labor day” session culminating in an expression of oppo- sition to federal wage and hour legis- lation and demands for sweeping re- vision of the Wagner act. The chairman, revising the actions of the convention, asserted the times call for what he termed a “coalition government.” Urges Co-operation He urged co-operation between in- dustry, labor and government and de- scribed the association’s program as “fair, constructive and liberal.” “If it is not, we are prepared to make it so,” he asserted and then added: “Has government or labor a better program?” ‘The associlation’s program, adopted at Wednesday's session, warned against laws and tendencies in gov- ernment which it felt threatened to reverse “a century trend of improved living standards,” advocated statutory changes to “promote industrial peace and co-operation” and favored “the levelling, so far as possible, of sea- sonal valleys of production and em- ployment.” Adopt Resolutions The association's attiude toward labor problems was set for in detail in resolutions adopted at the close of Thursday's session, set aside to discuss -| solely this aspect of industrial rela- tions. Opposition to some New Deal measures was expressed and at the same time the manufacturers outlined their own proposals, The association's labor platform: Called for revisions of the Wagner act designed to prevent sit-down strikes, minimize acts of violence and protect workers from coercion from any source.
