MILLION-YEARALD | Charred Flint With Fossil in Sussex to Be Exhibited by Anthropologist. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, June 15.—Evidence of & human-built fire in England 1,000,000 years ago will be exhibited by Sir Arthur Smith-Woodward, famous anthropolo- ist, at the Prehistoric Congress in OX- ford in August. ‘The evidence is a flint, a manmade implement of chipped stone, found in the gravel in Sussex along with fossil bones of the Plitdown man. The age of both the flint and the bones is fixed by the geological layer of stone and earth in which they rested. ‘This charred flint is further proof that men lived in at least two widely separated regions, England and China, about a million years ago. The Oriental was the Pekin “woman,” found near Pekin and identified by part of her skull and some bones. Possibly Contemporaneous. ‘These two human types were possibly eontemporgneous,” Sir Arthur said. “The interssting thing about the Pekin skull is that it seems to be & link be- | tween the types of Heidelburg, Java | and Piltdown. “It is another example, though a variant, of types we already know, and in my opinion Pekin man is no older | than his English counterpart. They both appear to belong to the lower Pleistocene age. 1 From these reports from China it ap- pears that charcoal from wood fires oc- curs abundantly in old hearths in the Pekin cave, and amongst the charred remains are numerous burnt bones and stones including implements. “In China deer antlers were cut into short lengths by flakes of stone, aided by burning at the lines of section, while the bases of the antlers seem to have been used as hammers. Rude Stone Implements. “The stone implements are rudely made of flakes which have been taken from stones found in the river below, and from the flakes and cores found it appears that they were made on the t pot. “All this activity, however, was known to Piltdown man. Charles Dawson and myself found long ago that he made both stone and bone implements, and split bones, doubtless for extracting the marrow. “More recently burnt flints have been noticed in the Piltdown gravel, and not long 2go I found one such flint which is indistinguishable from the ‘pot boil- ers’ of later periods. This extremely interesting find will be exhibited for the first time at the Prehistoric Con- gress at Oxford in August. “The use of fire was undoubtedly known to Pekin man, and the begin- ning of human arts, indeed, dates back to immense antiquity, before man had assumed his present form."

WAGE PACT IS DELAYED ois Coal Session to Meet Again Tomorrow. CHICAGO, June 15 (#).—Representa tives of Illinois coal operators and union miners, in conference Monday in an effort to agree on a wage scale to re- place the one which expired last March, adjourned this meeting after a lengthy session in which they failed to arrive at an agreement. They will resume delib- erations tomorrow.
