MANY VIS HODEL WASHNGTON HONE Star House Found Unusual in Design, Appointments and Construction. Ziundreds of home-interested Wash- ingtonians visited The Star model home, at 2004 M street northeast, in Shel- | bourne, following its opening yester- day morning as the third of a series of | demonstration houses sponsored by this | newspaper and the Operative Builders’ Association. One of a row of five similar houses, the Shelbourne model home was found unusual in design, appointments and | construction. Built in the $8,350 class, ' this little home is the most inexpen- sive of the 1929-30 series and because of its comparatively low cost attracted | favorable attention of its visitors yes- terday. Built by Baer & Scholz, the home contains six rooms, bath and full base- ment. Entering the main entrance door from a full-width front porch, one passes into 8 compact reception hall at he right of the house. From this little hall rise the stairs leading to the second floor, while a broad opening leads into the living room and a door at the rear opens into the kitchen. Behind the liv- ing room lies the dining room, which connects also with the kitchen. Besides the windows, the dining room boasts a «door opening to a porch which extends practically across the house, ‘The kitchen, 7 by 15 feet, was one of | the focal points of interest to yester-| day's visitors. It is completely equipped with the latest innovations for conven- dence and eomfort, being accessable from the dining room, the front hall, the rear porch and the basement, the, steps to which descend the main stair- way. . ‘The upper floor is notable through the use of every avallable foot of space for the rooms. The hall is a utility passageway entirely and is not provided at the expense of the main chambers. ‘The it bed room extends the width of the house and boasts of three win- dows and a closet of ample dimensions. ‘To the right of the front aleepinfi Toom door 18 the bath room entrance leading o8 chmhfi olu eolopwoflul-ule and mod- Appof ents. ite this door :‘fio Hinen closet, while at the rear the brief hall are the doors leading &.b’ two smaller bed rooms.

LOS ANGELES, May 19.—The first conclusive proof that man lived on the American continent 20,000 or 30,000 years ago was claimed today by Dr. James A. B. Scherer, director of the Southwest Museum. Ashes of & camp fire under Pleisto- cene rock, discovered by a field party, led by Dr. Mark R. Harrington, 21 miles from Las Vegas, Nev., were cited by Dr. Scherer in support of his assertion. Dr. Scherer described the discovery of the camp fire ashes as the “most outstanding anthropological find ever made in the United States.” Started Last March. ‘The Southwest Museum, in conjunc- tion with the California Institute of Technology, has been exploring the cave since last March. Dr. Harrington, cu- rator of the museum, and Dr. Chester of the institute, early in their explora. tions discovered darts from an atlatl, a weapon that antedates the bow and arrow, and the skull of a giant ground sloth. 'Thé work since that time has been directed toward discovery of some evidence that man preceded the sloth in the cave. “We have found in ane of Gypsum Cave's rooms a_camp fire of our sloth hunters, & patch of real charcoal un- der @ liyér of unbroken strata (of the Pleistocene era), in the topmost of 'PROOF MEN LIVED IN AMERICA 20,000 YEARS AGO IS FOUND Weapons, Found in Ancient Nevada CflVC.

The sloth ousted them and made his home there until a land- slide down the craggy mountains that then were present where the Colorado River now flows, blocked the door, lock- ing him in. The atlatl itself consisted of a long grooved shaft in which darts were in- serted, The darts were expelled with great force and accuracy by the marks- man, who grasped the shaft at one| end and swept it forward with a jerk.

By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News., Copyright, 1930, BASEL, Switzerland, May 19.—The Bank for International Settlements opens officially tomorrow morning. ‘There will be no ceremony, but business will be begun there. ‘The new institution had to be built fromsthe ground up. Even the rooms of the former hotel had to be rear- ranged. ‘The bank’s main function will be re- ceiving administering and distributing German reparations payments. Next will come liquidation of the reparations of Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria and of the complications resulting from the territorial changes in Central Europe. Probably for years the bank's task will be smoothing the matter of debt liquidation through loans and discounts. Many persons see a wider task and a broader field for it in aiding and de- . veloping new markets, Germany espe- . cially seems to want the bank to help find mew markets in the Balkans, Russia and the Orlent, as for instance in the reorganization of the Chinese railroads. Another probable field for the bank is thought to be that of enabling the regular meeting of the heads of the central banks who are on its board to further their international co-operation, ;lhlch]hltherto has been developing in- formally.
