apparel for having so completely
analyzed and sensed the needs of
youngsters not only from the esthet-

expresses itself in such contrivances
as Ijnings that zip in and out, of
coats and even dresses that are
made reversible, detachable hoods,
matching hats, two skirts with one
jacket, mittens and leggings made
to match for tots—the list is‘ end-

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M —The bi-
son made a trail centuries ago which I
was followed by the Indians, then '
by Spanish explorers, later by pio- i
neers going west and finally by
builders who stretched the first rail-
roads across the continent.
Proof of that fact has been
brought out in the research prompt-
ed by the Cuarto centennial celebra-
tion of the expedition in 1540 led by
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, the
first Spanish explorer to lead a par-
ty into what now is southwest con-
tinental United States.
The great buffalo herds, number- to /olst upon the
ing thousands, roamed the plains
and moved with the seasons across
the mountain ranges to the mesas
and the valleys. The Indians, learn-
ing that the bison followed the easi-
est routes, began to trod these buf- i
falo trails in search of food and shel-
ter.
Later came the explorers. Coro-
nado blazed his trail, which extend- i
ed from the west coast of Mexico
north to Arizona, across New Mex-
ico, Texas and Oklahoma into Kan- '
sas. Along the way he generally fol-
lowed the Indian trails and paths
made by the buffalo herds.
Nearly three centuries later came :
the westward movement in the
United States and these same
routes, because they followed the
same paths of least resistance—lit-
erally—became the Santa Fe, Stim- j
son. Loving, Goodnight and Chis-
holm trails—the "transcontinental
stagecoach routes.
Finally the steel bands of the rail-
roads were laid down across the des-
ert country of the Southwest and
when the builders came to the moun-
tain ranges, they, too. found that
the buffalo had found the easiest i
route. Highways and tracks now
follow, in many instances", the routes
laid out by the bisons. and traversed

boxing's greatest title is no recent j

not improving.
Boxing is staggering and reeling
from the repeated beatings it has
taken during the past three years—
particularly in the heavyweight
ranks. Promoters have attempted
_— pUbnc matches
which are nothing mire than exhibi-
tions—and poor ones,' at that.
Prize fight fans consistently have
been subjected to a diet of seepnd
raters and has-beens. The mere i
fact that several of these individu-
als gave the champion a chance to
demonstrate his prowess doesn’t help
matters. Fans pay to see a con- ,
j test, not a shadow boxing demon- I
stration.
Only two candidates for heavy-
weight honors are worthy of the
name. One is Pat Comiskey, a glum
young Irishman who is being brought ,
into the top brackets too quickly.
The other contender is Billy Conn, *
a light-heavyweight whose ambition
may overcome his lack of weight.
Questionable Victory
Conn has been the subject of many j
a heated debate. His recent 13-round I
victory over Bob Pastor in Madison i

his stature. It was far from a clean- |

9 ‘Bright Boys’
Give Accounting
Return After 10 Years to Tell
Of Work Since Talk
With Edison.
Television in Colors
By Jan. 1, Is Forecast
NEW YORK.—Bright eyes and
blushes have entered the range of
NEW YORK.—Nine young men
kept a solemn covenant with Thom-
as A. Edison—a promise they ut-
tered as “America’s brightest boys”
when they knelt 10 years ago at the
feet of the great inventor and told
him they would make of themselves
useful servants of American sci-
ence.
A decade ago they were among 49
high school lads picked painstaking-
ly by every state and the District
of Columbia to submit themselves
to Edison's scrutinizing quest for
the nation's brightest potential sci-
entist.
Nine of them—averaging 27 in age
—showed up as guests of Thomas
A. Edison industries in observance
of the 1930 competitions and their
visit with the late inventor. The
others were too busy with their jobs
or were too far away.to come, in-
cluding the winner of Edison’s 1930
>scholarship—Arthur O. Williams Jr.,
a professor of physics at the Uni-
versity of Maine.
Accounting Is Given.
What the nine had done during the
decade and what the years have
brought them was summed up in
this collective account of them-
selves:
Pursued scientific courses and ob-
tained degrees from the nation’s
best colleges and universities.
Without exception obtained re-
sponsible employment in their cho-
sen field immediately upon gradua-
tion.
Entered the decade bewildered at
world events—particularly the world
economic depression
Left the decade bewildered at
world events—the war and its rami-
fications.
Within an average of 3'i years out
of school, earned an aveiage income,
of $2,535.
Three married and one of them
became a father.
Came to realize their importance
as scientists to the nation's defense.
Hope to Aid Defense.
One hopes to contribute to nation-
al defense through research work
on automatically controlled, pilot-
less airplanes, while the others hope
to help contribute to national scien-
tific achievements through general
research.
At a luncheon at the New York
World’s fair, Eugene C. Reed, as-
sistant vice president of Thomas A.
Edison, Inc., of West Orange, N J.,
greeted the scientists as "gentle-
men who have made good.” He pre-
sented each with a medal for up-
holding Edison's ideals of service to
science.
vEarlier, Charles Edison, son* of
the inventor, greeted the young men
at the West Orange plant.
"We left the West Orange com-
petitions 10 years ago dazed by
world events," said Gordon K.
Burns of Westfield, N. J., a physi-
cist with the Western Electric com-
pany. "We were in a fog then. I
hope now that we have dispelled the
fog of our youth and are making
contributions to science.”

PITTSBURGH. - A hitching
post marks a reserved spot out-
side of the Clinton United Pres-
byterian church, where automo-
biles never park.
The space is reserved for Wash-
ington Jackson, 82-year-old farm-
er, who goes to church every
Sunday by horse and buggy.
Jackson, who makes the four-
mile trip to the church in an hour,
has been using that method to
get to meeting for 56 years. His
horse, Billy, is 30 years old.
