Business Skies Are Clear
Business skies are clearing. There are not many
dark spots visible to the naked eye. Surveys of busi-
ness conditions in the cities and towns of Texas made
by Associated Press correspondents and business or-
ganizations are very gratifying to say the least.
Texas Is an empire commonwealth. Its Industries
are growing by leaps and bounds. Its business con-
cerns are growing or rather expanding. Its commer-
cial organizations cover the state. Speaking of bank
deposits they are greater than a year ago. Speaking
of the reports of the federal reserve bank they Indi-
cate a healthy condition of business In all fields of
human endeavor.
A crash In wan street wmcn involves speculators
and those ambitious to get rich returns on small in-
vestments did not disturb the bustness structure of
America or the gigantic concerns which are employers
of la bear or the fanners who are diversifiers and sup-
ply their own tables from their own smoke houses
and corn cribs and cellars where the housewife sees
to It that the canning and preserving of fruits and
berries has not been overlooked.
There tfiould be a very successful holiday trade
season everywhere in Texas. This applies to the irri-
gated districts of Texas as well as to the non-irrigated
in the rain belt of the commonwealth.
Texas financiers say that the outlook is most en-
couraging. Texas heads of industrial concerns return
the same verdict. Texas bankers are optimistic.
Texas business men who have stocks of goods to
sell are looking forward to a most prosperous holiday
season. Pres. Hoover is responsible for the calling
together of national leaders for the purpose of work-
ing out a comprehensive nationwide plan for tbe pro-
motion of business progress.
AD heads of federal reserve banks are to partici-
pate. All the members of the farm relief board are
on the firing line. Fanners who produce wheat and
cotton are reminded that they need not throw their
products on a sagging market.
There is a huge fund at the disposition of the farm
relief board which will aid the growers of staples in
the housing and the holding of wheat and cotton.
There will be a cut of $150000000 in income taxes at
a very early date and this slash will take place in
order that income tax payers will be able to take
advantage of the reduction in their returns for 1929.
Secy. Andrew W. Mellon will ask that $175000000
increase be made without delay in order to Increase
the public building program to a total of $423000000.
Corporation heads of the country are planning for
huge expenditures in constructive expansion the com-
ing year. This to provide skilled and common labor
with fair wages and to take advantage of the favor-
able conditions foe obtaining cheap money afforded
following in the wake of the speculative stock craze
of five years duration.
This is a $400000000000 nation with an annual in- i
come of $80000000000 to $100000000000 a year. It
is a nation fundamentally sound and the huge en- j
ter prises which have made It so are aa sound as that
basic rock of Gibraltar.
Austin is the capital city of one of the richest and
the fastest growing of American commonwealths. It
is the trading city of Central Texas. Its holiday
program of illumination and Tuletlde display should
be the most inviting offered by the people of any
Texas city this year.
Its business men are planning wisely and the com-
munity spirit is stronger than ever before it Is most
appealing than ever before for the rapid growth of
Austin and the marvelous improvements that have
been made in recent years has convinced the mo6t
pessimistic of its sons and daughters that the capital
city of Texas will go beyond the hundred thousand
mark in the near future that its Industries will con-
tinue to expand that new industries will be launched
that its financial and other Institutions will continue
their rapid growth end that the Violet Crown capital
will take its proper place in all things among the
proud cities of the Lone Star empire.

Scientists Sees Asia as Holding
Secret of American Prehistory

Dr. Ales Hrdlicka shown at left beside the oldest grove found
along the Yukon river says ancle at village sites near the river ap-
pear as mere rifts (above). Be has made observations of Eskimo
(right) and Indian (below) types.
By OSCAR LEIDIXG
Science Editor
(Associated Press Feature Service)
WASHINGTON Nov. 30-H^n—
The key to American prehistory
Iks not in Alaska but in Asia. In
the belief of Dr. Ales rdlicka
Smit^onian anthropology.
His contention supports a pre-
vious view that Monogoloid migra-
tion across Bering
easy It was inevitable contrasting
^1th a prevailing oplni.n that the
Eskimo had a purely American
origin.
Scant hope of uncovering even
dim records of the far past In cen-
tral Alaska Is seen by the noted
scientist who traversed the Yukon
river from course to mouth during
the summer in search of archaic
lore.
“Unless some most fortunate ac-
cident occurs” he said “we shall
i never be able to find real ancient
remains in the Yukon valley or
delta because the country has been
remade by sea and river. Remains
have been swept away by water
as it knawed at the banks or lie
covered up in deep Jungles or tun-
dras.
“Indirectly however through
archaeological and other evidence
substantial steps have been made
this year towards the solution of
the problem of the origin of the
Eskimo and his relation to the
Indian."
The anthropologist returned with
more than 60 boxes of material
one of the most striking parts of
the collection being nearly 800 tools
and objects In fossil Ivory belong-
ing to a wonderfully rich and ar-
tistic old culture discovered but a
few years a |>.
Light also may be thrown on the
past by a double burial in a stone-
lined grave the oldest uncovered
so far along the Yukon and simi-
lar in type to some in northeast-
ern Asia.
“Our material" Dr. Hrdlicka said
“is rich but only careful study
will show how important. The main
achievement was to save for aci-
ence much that would soon have
been lost for all time.
"Smithsonian expeditions while
saving precious m. terial and data
from the American side of Bering
sea make more urgent an exten-
sion of the work in northeastern
Asia. It is there it is felt even
more strongly that the material
and information lie that will 'linch
indications obtained on the Amer-
ican side.”
More than 3000 miles were trav-
eled on the great river famous
from the days of the gold rush.
The scientist assisted by Dr. J.
f 'aly of the University of Plague
criss-crossed from bank to bang in
search of ancient *ites. more than
1500 miles being covered in an
open 18-foot canoe.
A large majority of the surviv-
ing full-blood Indians and Eskim-
os melting before civilization even
as the relics of their ancestors are
being destroyed by nature were
measured observed and photo-
graphed.
"Essential records on this van-
ishing population.” Dr. Hrdlicka
said "thus are safe."

CHAPTER 45
Rosalie knew when Kenessa and
Rowdy came In the door that some-
thing was wrong. Kenessa looked
frightened and Rowdy looked furi-
ous.
He closed the door quietly and
she stood looking at him twisting
her hands.
“Wha—What’# wrong?”
Kenessa sat down and Rowdy
frowning began to look around the
room. What was he looking for?
He made a cmplete search then
stopped when he came to a large;
chair In the corner and stooped
down and picked up a little box
hidden behind it.
•What is It?”
He shook his head for silence and
motioned them into the bath room.
Rosalie followed Kenessa and Row-
dy closed the door.
•That’s a dictagraph” he said
very low. “I thought they'd plant
one on you. I couldn’t look yester-
day because the dick came with us.”
Rosalie's eyes opened with ter-
ror.
“They—they are still watching
me—I thought—” she began But
Rowdy cut her off impatiently.
“You better do a little more
thinking. What you been keeping
half of this back from us for?”
He made up his mind to deal
firmlv with her. He felt certain If
ha did she would tell all the truth.
Rosalie began to cry.
He shook her arm roughly.
'Oh. for crime sake cut out the
tears and open up. We re not go-
ing to eat you. If there's any-
thing we haven't done to help vou
I don't know what it is. Andj
here you go keeping the most Im-
portant things to yourself.”
Kenessa kept quiet for a moment
then put her arm around Rosalie
who was shaking with sobs.
“Come on Rosie. You know we
won’t spill anything you tell ua.
Ann Schultz told me a lot of stuff
today—”
Aim! Rosalie knew then what
she must have told her.
“She told you I knew Roy An-1
drews and that he—he was go-
ing out with me—”
“Yes.”
RosaUe lost complete control of
herself then. She would have to
tell. There was no way out now.!
Rowdy felt really sorry for her but
he was more than a little mystified.
When she quieted down Kenessa
bathed her head with a wet towe!
and sat on the edge of the bathtub
with her arm around her. Rowdy
sat down on the floor and waited.
“We—we were going to be mar-
ried” Rosalie said at last.
If she had suddenly pulled a gun
and pointed it at them they could
not have been any more surprised.
“You and Roy Andrews—" she
could see the doubt In Rowdy’s face
—“apple sauce!”
“I'm not lying to you." Rosalie
went on desperately. “We started
going out to dinner together when
I first went to work In the store.
“He found out Martino was both-
ering me and it made him awfully
mad. One night he came up to see
me and Martino was going down-
stairs with a suitcase. He tried to
make me tell what he was doing
there and I—I told him a lie.”
Rowdy cut her off eagerly.
“Then you know what happened
to Roy Andrews don't you?”
She began to sob again.
"They—they took him away and
killed him—I’m sure they did.”
"Mr Ood. you’re a fool.” Row-
dy shook her again "why didn’t
you tell us at first?”
8he reached and pulled the note
from her waist:
“They—they said he wasn’t dead
but that they would kill him If I
opened my mouth. I—I was afraid
they would. Oh I didn’t care for
myself.”
Kenessa was crying with her by
that time. Painfully Rosalie start-
ed from the first and told them
everything. About the telephone
call the trip out to the air field
how thev had thrown her into a car
and Roy into the plane and that
she had heard the plane whirr
away.
What a story! Rowdy was first
last and always the newspaper man.
When he remembered that he might
never be able to write it as It was
he winced with disappointment. It
was as perfect a story in all its
details as he had ever dreamed
of. But he could not betray Rosa- i
lie then and might never be able!
to tell what he knew.
Kenessa listened wild-eyed with
fear and amazement as Rosalie
sobbed the truth to them. She left
not the smallest detail out this
time. Rowdy knew that she hadn’t
and felt satisfied when she finished
and sat crying softly and exhaust-
ed from her ordeal.
It was a darn good thing he had
thought to look for the dicta-
graph he thought then. Other-'
wise it would have been all over
but the shouting. Rosalie wouldn't
have had a chance to escape. No
one in the world but them would
believe all she had told. If it [
weren't for Kenessa he wouldn’t
believe her. It all sounded so im-
possible and overdrawn.
“You stay right here where you I
are and don't you dare move from
this room’’ he told Rosalie a little
later. “God knows what I’m going
to do. But the first thing is to try
to dope out some way to find out
who the other guys were that tooki
Andrews away.”
•Maybe we can dope out a way*
^ - -------- -
to sneak you up to the rogues’ gal-
lery for a look at some of the
mugs. We got to find the gang.
I'm going out to look up Spriaty
Flynn and find out who he’s hang-
ing out with.’’
“Be careful.’’ Rosalie sobbed cold
with fear. 'They’ll do something to
you. too."
He laughed contemptuously.
“Don’t talk in your sleep.” he
sautioned in a whisper as they
left pointing to the chair that laid
the dictagraph.
It was like a horrible little black
snake to Rosalie. She shuddered
at the thought of having it in her
room.
When Kenessa and Rowdy drove
up to Mother Murphy’s in a cab
they could not get close to the
house. The street was filled with
people. Rody leaped out and made
his wav through the crowd.

ORIGIN OF THE MODERN SCI-

By Arthur DeV. Carpenter
Kepler discovered *hat the plan- i

observations relating to the law of
falling bodies. Sir Isaac Newton
came later and studied eliptical
planetary motions and also further
developed the law of falling bodies
and so deducing the law of gravita-
tion The Moon is constantly fall-
ing toward the earth; it also has a
forward momentum tending to

The amount of the Moon's fall
earthward in relation to Its for-
ward movement of momentum re-
sults in producing the lunar orbit.
Out of these profound invest ra-
tions by Newton developed the
modern science of mechanics.
