The find confirms him. **e savs now. in the belief that the origin of man mat be traced aome dav to Central Asia, probablv Mongolia. where Andrews has directed an expedition of the American Museum of National lllatore. In the followinr article. Andrews relates the significance • f the skull belonging to the ‘ Peiping man.’* BY ROY CHAPMAN ANDREWS, •Written for the Tailed Press i PEIPING, Jan. 29.—The Peiping man is without question the most Important known link in the whole broken chain of human ancestry. The discoverers are to be congratulated. Science, for the first time, now has a very primitive human cranium. which is complete; one in which the bones are in their original positions, uncrushed, not even distorted. Began to Think In a short time, Dr. Davidson Black. Canadian scientist, will tell us exactly what was the brain capacity of the Peiping man. He will know just how far on the road to human intelligence the Peiping man had gone. The swelling in the forehead promises interesting results. Already the Peiping man had begun to think. This discovery will settle many di puted points. Association of the ape-like jaw of the P.ltdown man with the skull fragments gave rise to a scientific controversy that raged for years. The Peiping man had a similar jaw. Had Advanced Ear It tends to confirm'several important theories. Some scientists now believe that the human stem is rooted in the early part of the age of mammals. The Peiping man lived in the very beginning of the ice age. Already at ttuft remote period he had advanced far along the road of human development. That means that the ance tral stock tram which he sprang had started long ago, estimated to have begun 19,000,000 jears ago. The Peiping man is a long way from being the mussing link. The remote progenitors of man will be found in much older strata. The exact place is uncertain, but I am convinced that it will be somewhere on the Asiatic plateau. Dr. Black and Dr. Brabau be- \ lieve that Chinese Turkestan is the j most probable spot. I favor Mon- 1 golia. It is only by intensive ex- j ploration that the question can be | settled.

Upset Liver is very often the cause of headache, biliousness, chronic constipation, dizziness ... so don't take drugs for relief.

RELIEVES in a DAY or tee refund your money Now we know that people seeking relief for torpid liver made a grave mistake. When headache, dizziness or nervousness, upset stomach, constipation or biliousness signalled sluggish liver—they used to take drugs that merely irritated and often produced a condition known as catharsis. Modem science specifies the secretion from the liver of the ox—ox-gall—as the authentic treatment for liver trouble. The liver normally supplies the intestines with about a quart of bile each day. This bile stops germ growth. When it is scant, germs thrive. They pollute the body with poisons that wreck health. Ox-gall corrects this condition. It stimulates the liver, thus helping to increase the bile flow to normaL Don’t Risk One Cent Now ox-gall comes in pleasant tablet form. It is called Dioxol. In each Dioxol tablet there are exactly ten drops of this genuine secretion, Start taking Dioxol. All druggists sell it. Within a day you'll be benefited. If Dioxol d6es not live up to your expectations, send the emptv box to the makers and your money will be refunded.—Advertisement,

MITCHELL BARS WETS FROM JOBS IN DRYJEGIME Drinking Handicap to All Seeking Posts, Warning of New Chief. Bu Scrivvs-llotcard Newsvaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 28—Drinkers and opponents of the principle of prohibition will not be trusted with enforcement or prosecution of the dry laws under a rule laid down today by Attorney-General Mitchell, who will become dry czar under the presidential program now before congress. Though Mitchell said he did not want “fanatics” in the service, his dictum will affect all individuals connected with the federal courts from judges and district attorneys to bailiffs. When congress transfers the prohibition unit from the treasury' to the department of justice it will include the dry army from administrators down to chemists, the clerical force and field agents. Such a policy long has been demanded by professional prohibitionists. “I have not made any hard and fast rule on the subject,” said Mitchell, in his letter to an unanmed critic in congress, ”and there are many matters respecting a man’s ability and personal qualifications that have to be considered, but I believe that no man who makes a practice of drinking, or who has definite and pronounced views in opposition to prohibition, belongs, during this administration, in any post having directly to do with the prosecution of cases under the national prohibition act. It seems to me that such men had better seek positions in some other branch of the government or a private occupation. “I have not made any blare of trumpets about this matter, but I am not at all reluctant to have it known among those in this department that the habitual use of liquor and opposition to prohibition are very definite handicaps to appointment or reappointment in this service.” Federal attorneys, assistants, marshals and deputy marshals, Mitchell declared, must not drink “under any circumstances.” In the attorneygeneral's opinion, pre-war liquor stocks are about consumed, and the presumption would be that any of these officials found using liquor had obtained it from "illicit sources.” An office-holder’s views, Mitchell j wrote, bears “on the probable efficiency of the candidate in the prose- ! cution of prohibition cases.” Bankers Return to U. S. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Melvsn A. Traylor, president of the First National bank of Chicago and Jackson E. Reynolds, president of the First National bank of New York, have returned from the International bank of settlement conference at The Hague. They landed early today from the liner Bremen.

Citizen Irene Stage Star, Voter for 11 Years, Decides to Get Papers.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—Irene Bordoni, stage and screen star, who has been voting for Presidents for eleven years, has decided that it is time she became an American citizen. The even routine of the federal naturalization bureau was disturbed

when Miss Bordoni, wrapped in a fur coat and wearing a brown hat, black and egg-shell colored shoes and eggshell colored stockings, appeared, much to the surprise of every one, and applied for first citizenship papers. She explained she became an American citizen in 1918, when she

married E. Ray Goetz, the theatrical producer, and since then had voted conscientiously and done all the things goods citizens are supposed to do. Last year, however, her marriage was annulled in Chicago and Miss Bordoni found herself restored to her “pre-marital status.” It was ascertained that she no longer was an American citizens. After her application was filed. Miss Bordoni was told she would have to wait two years for her first papers. She left the building in a hurry’ to consult with her attorney to see if he couldn’t speed up the process, but at the door Miss Bordoni decided she would pause long enough to pose for photographers.

BILL THOMPSON ADMITS CHICAGO IS ‘FLAT BROKE' •Turns Money Problems of City Over to State Legislature. BY MERTON T. AKERS I'nlted Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—Big Bill Thompson, Chicago’s cowboy-Yale graduate mayor, handed the city’s financial tangle to the state legislature today, admitting, in effect, that it had grown too large for his administration. Thompson, who likes to be known as Big Bill, the builder and an enemy of King George, admitted publicly, and for the first time, in a statement that the city is broke and is tottering on the brink of financial disaster. Asa remedy and the only hope for relief for the thousands of city employes who are existing on loan shark money, the mayor demanded that the legislature be called into special session and laws passed to lift the city from its morass of almost $300,000,000 debt, a debt that rolls up like a snowball at the rate of almost $50,000 a day. The mayor’s statement apparently came after considerable pressure for a definite stand had been exerted by citizens.
