Among the distinguished Amer- icans born in 1836 were the following: Joseph Warren Kiefer, born on January 30 of that year, became a major-general | in Congr and was speaker of the House; served as a major-general in the Spanish- American War; died at the age of 96.

Joseph Wheeler, born in Georgia on Confederate army and became a major-general at the age of 26; has been described as “one of the greatest cavalry leaders of all time;” was a member of Congress from Alabama from 1880 until 1898, when he was appointed a major-general for service in the Spanish- American War; retired as_ brigadier-gen- eral in the regular army, in 1900; died in ; 1906.

This year Texas will celebrate its cen- tennial with a great exposition at Dallas. OPTIMISM FOR 1936 Nationwide signs indicate that re- covery is well on the way and “we now have a broader and firmer foundation than in preceding years on which to build in 936,” Secretary of Commerce Roper. Among the favorable signs listed by the Secretary were the following: A ten per cent increase in factory em- ployment, A twenty-five per cent factory payrolls. Maintenance of the 1934 level of fac- tory wages. A twenty-five per cent increase in pro- duction of durable goods. A twenty per cent increase in sales of general merchandise in rural areas. An increse of forty per cent in dollar expenditures for new passenger aufo- mobiles. $ A five per cent increase in urban sales of general merchandise. A continued growth in the .dollar value value of American foreign trade. = American exports highest since 1931. A decline in railroad deficits. A rising tendency in security market. Further improvement in agriculture. says increase in KENTUCKY’S CAVE MAN The recent discovery of a pre-historic man, perfectly preserved, in the depths of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, may prove to t be one of the most important anthropol- ogical finds ever brought to light, aecord- ing to the Leuisville Courier-Journal, which states that not only the body, but the cloth- ing and tools of the man were preserved in} the cool, dry air of the great cave. This ancient man, who lived perhaps ] several thousand years ago, was evidently a miner, who was crushed to death by a falling boulder under which his body was found, and is believed to have been en- gaged in chipping gypsum crystals off the wall of the cave when disaster overtook him. His clothing was woven from fibers which appear to be the inner bark of a tree. Scientists have been sent by the gov- ernment to investigate the find and make further explorations, in the hope that the “mummy” may disclose hitherto unknown facts concerning primitive man on the North American continent. | ithe end of Lower Matecimbe.
