PREHISTORIC RELICS OF AMERICA SOUGHT Scientific Interest Is Aroused in Indian Mound Builders. Ru Science Service EAST ST. LOUIS. 111., Feb. 3. Relics of prehistoric America buried at the base of the Powell mound, one of the great Cahokia group of Indian mounds, are to be sought, starting within a week. Dr. A. R. Kelly, director of Illinois acheological explorations, has informed Science Service. Scientific interest in the mound was aroused when steam shovel operations w’ere about to level it for farming purposes. The upper layers, now removed, contained many objects belonging to the mound-building Indians of the Cahokia settlement. The basal portion of the mound will shed new light on the rather mysterious Cahokia mound builders, it is hoped. Cahokia was an exceptionally large settlement of Indians, yet not particularly progressive, judging by its art and crafts. The present theory is that the settlement acquired its culture from farther south. That the culture .nay have extended as far north as Wisconsin is indicated by objects ,ound at the Aztalan ruins in Wisconsin. Woman Fails at Suicide HAMMOND, Ind..

CHASE SAVES BILL BY A GOOD THING A Radio Announcing Thing Reaches a High Spot on a Much Less Than a Fair Bill. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN TF Billy Chase, of Chase and Latour, had not done that good bit of A fun, a travesty of radio announcers, I would have folded up and stated that things were terrible on the Lyric stage this week. The keen sense of the topical thing causes Chase to warble that a certain Clara has anew theme song, “Daisies Will Not Tell.’’ That crack and one a lot worse made me get up frqm the danger of going to sleep. Chase and Latour are doing a mighty old act. The same act, I have told you about in the old Keith days and in more modem days. As far as the four are concerned in the regular offering, the work was

sloppy, careless and even not funny. The act is too old, Billy Chase saves the works by his gorgeous radio nonsense when the act is done’. The Four Frohne Sisters will have to learn showmanship. And a lot of it. They clink too much to their radio idea. No individual work. Just one pile of harmony effort on top of another pile. Quite harmless melody. Showmanship—that is what this act needs. Everything the same. Milo—the idea is as old as the hills. The high notes leave the second he walks on the stage. His impersonations of animals and the like have a sense of showmanship. Jules and Josie Walton attempt a revue. Dancing makes up the bulk of the act. They seem to know that they have done the act many times. Not much sparkle here. Cowan and Graham are two men dancers. They run to the tap dance. The athletic part of the bill is done by the Four Haas Brothers. The movie is George O'Brien in “Fair Warning.’’ Now at the Lyric. n n n Other theaters today offer: “Sit Tight” at the Apollo, “Kismet” at the Circle, “New Moon” at the Palace, “Naughty Flirt” at the Ohio, “Free Love” at the Indiana, movies at the Colonial, and burlesque at the Mutual. A machine which takes your money, counts it, discards bad coins, and gives a ticket with correct change, has been installed at Victoria Station on London’s underground railway.

Comfortable Gas Mask Devised for U. S. Army

New Type Leaves Nose and Mouth Free: Affords Better Vision. Bu -Science Service WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—New gas masks developed by the chemical warfare sendee are so much more comfortable than those worn by soldiers in the A. E. F. that Senator Millard Tydings of Maryland, himself a veteran, has asked the senate to amend the war department appropriation bill to provide for the manufacture of 50.000 of these next year, instead of 20.000 as now planned. The senate has passed this amendment to the bill, but it may be stricken out in conference. The soldier wearing a World war gas mask found his mobility and usefulness decreased just about 60 per cent, Senator Tydings stated. His nose was clipped together so that he would have to breathe through his mouth instead of- his nostrils, he had an instrument in his mouth over his tongue, and, in order to see, had to look through goggles. The new mask leaves the nose

INDUSTRY LIFTS RUSSIAN JEWS FROM DEPTHS Tragic Problem of Million People Is Solved With Need of Labor. BY EUGENE LYON'S United Press Staff C-orresoondent MOSCOW, Feb. 3—The economic problem of the Jews of Russia, some years ago one of the most tragic depths on the Soviet landscape, automatically has been solved with the headlong rise of industry here. Two years ago, nearly a million Jews in the former “pale,” concentrated in ugly muddy towns and villages, were on the very fringe of starvation. Colonization projects were supported by Soviet authorities, charity was "sent from the United States—these were the only hopes in the misery. Economic Problem Solved Now adult members of that million are earning regular wages on construction jobs and in new Soviet factories. The keen national demand for labor power acted to solve the Jewish problem, at least in its essential economic aspect. While the Jews politically were among the principal beneficiaries of the revolution, obtaining, at last, equality with the Russians, economically they were the greatest sufferers. Majority of them were small traders, whose livelihood was taken from them by the same revolution which gave them political and social equality. Having been barred from farming by the czarist laws, and for the most part kept out of industry, trade had been their chief and almost sole calling. Ills Cured by Time The Bolshevik revolution turned them into a huge pauper class. Worse than that, as former business men, they were a “bourgeois element.” In recent years an exception was made of Jews in this respect, in recognition of the fact that they were “bourgeois” through force of czarist persecution rather than free will. Time, which in the Soviet Union moves faster than elsewhere in the world, has cured most of its ills. In fact, a considerable number of Jewish settlers in the agricultural colonies established, with the aid of American money, now are abandoning the colonies for jobs in factories.

and the mouth free, and it is easier to see when wearing it than when encumbered with the 1918 type mask. The war department, however, feels that there still is much work to be done on gas masks. They are seeking a mask which will be smaller, lighter and simpler. Murder Charged By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 3. A first degree murder indictment charge has been returned against Charles Acton charged with the fatal shooting Saturday morning of Grover Vernon during an alleged drinking party.

DAISY DEVOE DENIED RETRIAL; ASKS PROBATION Judge Says He Considers Evidence of Guilt as 'Overwhelming.’ By United Prets LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3—Daisy De Voe's plea for mercy was under consideration today by Judge William C. Doran, tfho had denied her anew trial on charges that she stole money from Clara Bow, her employer. Arguments on her for probation will be heard next Tuesday, but it is indicated It will require probation officers at least two weeks longer than that to complete their report. William Bierne, defense counsel, late Monday based his plea for a new trial on charges that the verdict finding Miss De Voe guilty of grand theft was obtained “by lot and chance,” contended the jury had found her guilty on one charge and not guilty on thirty-four as a compromise after being deadlocked for many hours. Bernie also contended that letters to Clara Bow from Harry Richman, Rex Bell and Dr. Earl Pierson should not have been introduced at the trial because theft of
