HER WORK GREAT AID TO ARMS DELEGATES|SKULL FOSSIL BELIEVED PROOF HUMANS ORIGINATED IN AFRICA IONDON, November 25.—Scien- tists say the Darwinian theory that Africa may have been the original home of the human race received partial corroboration from the discovery just made in northern Rhodesia of a fossilized skull which gives new orientation to the early history of primitive man. The skull, which is complete save for the lower jaw, resembles that of the ape man (pithecan- thropus erectus) discovered in Java in 1892, which has re- garded as the most primitive human skull known until now. ‘The Java skull, however, lacked face. In this respect the RI desian fossil reveals a type curi- ously similar to what is known &s the Gibraltar skull. Moreover, a collar bone, a leg bone and part of a hip bone be- lieved to belong to the skull have also been unearthed, and these may enable anatomists to recon- struct the main parts of the whole Rhodesian skeleton. The scene of the discovery was the “Bone Cave” of the Broken Hlll mine, already famous for the uty of its st. D. J. KAUFMAN 1005-7 Pa.

The floor consisted of & mass of fosstlized remains of elephants, lions, leopards, rhinoceri, hippo- potami, antelopes, birds, bats and smal mammals. Hundreds of tons of these animal remains had been removed, but no trace of man was discovered until a depth of sixty feet below water level was reach- ed, when the bones described were found, surrounded by soft, friable lead conglomerate.

PERU, Ind., December 16.—The ques- tion of independent citizenship for married women will be the next matter on the legislative program of the National League of Women Voters, it was announced from headquarters of the organization here. Mrs. Richard Edwards, national first vice president and chairman of the organization, said the league will work for a passage of a bill of this kind by the present Congress. This measure was indorsed by resolution by both democratic and republican national converitions last year. Under the present law marriage to an American has conferred upon a foreign-born woman the right of citi- zenship, while marriage to a foreigner has taken away the right from an American-born woman.

The league will not ask for legis- lation requiring new appropriations, Mrs. Edwards said, inasmuch as there is a nation-wide insistence on reduc- tion of federal taxes and expenditures. —_—_— BANKERS OPPOSE BONUS.
