The two countries use different words for many things, as “tram’’ and “trolley car.” As to houses, in England they shut the door to keep out the cold, while here they heat the houses and then open the windows.

Among the troubles the English worn en encounter in traveling were those of checking baggage and writing orders in dining cars, for in England

that is not required.

Dr. Oxnam told of some things he had learned from the debaters, among them being that to show emotion or sentiment is had form, and that the proper method of acknowledging an introduction is to simply say, “How do you do?” For when he said to one of them, “I am very pleased to meet you,” she replied, “You’re

The William Barnhart farm at Romney today was the scene of marked activity following the discovery of sc me pre-hjstoric monster on the

farm ,

The skeleton was discovered by Wil liam Barnhart last week and is hoa' being dug out of the grave that has held it for many years. Tusks measuring thirty-eight irche:> in length have been removed and the skulll of tbt animal weighing five hundred pounds has also been taken

from the ground.

Sunday many persons visited the farm to view the skeleton and ponder over what period in the world’s history this monster existed. Mr. Barnhart has found that the te nioval of the skeleton is no easy iob but has decided to bring it out at no matter what the cost. The discovery has already attracted wide attention in western Indiana and during the next few days hundreds of persons are expected to view it. Barnhart made the discovery on Friday while hunting on his farm. He was walking along a creek when he noticed what looked to be some sort of a skull protruding above the stir face of the stream. On closer examination he discovered a large tooth and when he tried to lift the skull from the creek bed found it was more

than he could handle.

Upon a still closer observation he discovered that he had found the temains of some animal that had roamed the world during prehistoric times. After digging In the swale for some time, Mr. Barnhart uncovered the tusks of the animal a number of large bones of the legs and several ribs. All the bones are in a marvelous state of p.esetvation. Most of the skeleton I was found at a depth of four feet un-

Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—“I have never met the ‘born criminal.” “You can’t tell a criminal by merely looking at him. There is no such thing as a ‘criminal type.’ ” So declares Ia?wis E. Lawes, for twenty-five years warden of Sing Sing prison, who, in a book just published entitled “Life and Death in Sing Sing,” explodes almost every popular conception about crime and criminals. He says that prisoners act like “average human beings.” That I they are as law-abiding within their j own jail community as are the people j enjoying their freedom on the outside. “In twenty-five years’ experience I have never met the ‘born criminal’ whom a supreme court judge described as marked by eight physical characteristics," said I^wes in his book “These characteristics were described as: “Receding chin. “Protruding jaw. “Wide unthinking stare. ‘‘Droop in the left eyelid. “Low bumpy brow. “Huge clumsy torso. “Thick hair. “Kars set at right angles to the head.” “The judge said that where as many as four of these characteristics were present in an individual there would be no doubt as to the man’s criminal nature. Famous Men Among Them “A half-dozen well-known men, who have at least five of the eight physical characteristics named include the president of a leading American university, a great English preacher, a French general, a Russian statesman, a leading Spanish

traits which betrays, as a ‘penchant for gambling, taste for strong drink, use of slang, vanity in dress, love of animal pets, desire for easy money, and aversion to hard physical labor.’ “This takes in a lot of territory; in fact, there are few people who would belong in the non-criminal class if judged by these characteristics. One might add equally significant facts such as that the criminal likes ice cream, wears neckties and prefers shower-baths to tubs.” Warden I.awes wrote that since he become warden of Sing Sing he has handled more than 10,000 “bad men" j and that he has found himself faced | with an equal amount of paradoxes and anomalies.

“The warden is required by law to live at the prison and the statute provides that his servants shat! be

prisoners,” said Lawes.

“I have had as a result a cook who | was a prisoner. I have been shaved by a prisoner who had cut another man’s throat. My youngest daughter, now seven years old, has been driven about outside the prison walls in her pony cart by a man doing twenty-five years for kidnapping, and my guests often turn their valuables over for safe-keeping to men under sentence for robbery, larceny and burglary. My family walk about the prison yards and among the men with greater assurance of safety than they would feel on the streets of any

TEN AMERICANS ENJOY FIVE MILLION INCOMES WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—(INS) —There are ten American multimillionaires enjoying an income of $5,000,000 or more each annually, sharing among themselves $89,000,000 last year, according to statistics compiled by the Internal Revenue Bur eau from the income tax returns for 1927. Incomes of $1,000,000 annually are getting commonplace. There were 283 individuals enjoying a million or more in 1927, paying income taxes on $197,000,000. Figures show a slight decrease in those with incomes of more than $5,000,000 from 1926, when 14 such were reported, but in the simple million class 283 sets a new record.
