HOME IS SEEN BIG FACTOR IN SEX EDUCATION Responsibility, However, Rests on Schools, Professor Tells Conference. }' v Science Service, WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Th? r sponslbllity of teaching the biology of sex rests with the schools, 1 ofessor Maurice A. Bigelow of C olumbia university, told the reg onal conference of the American £ xhal Hygiene Association here tori y. Up to the age of 17 or 18, the h me can give all the sex education r cessary for guidance and protects >n. But only the rare home in v Uch the parent is a teacher or p lysician or other scientist, for ins ince, can teach the biology, psyc ology and sociology which are necessary to give the scientific background on sex. Foundation in Home Incidentally, Professor Bigelow s id, some of the best social hygiene being taught in the schools o' this country is to be found in h >me economics courses involving tl e scientific subjects he mentioned. The foundation of sex education, however, should be laid in the home, he said, or in other places v nere children get informal contact v th older people. Attitudes toward sex should be ti ught in the home, as the school is o ten too late to have any part in e. tablishing these. Licensed System Dying The licensed house system Is either dead or dying out In most European countries, Dr. Bascom Johnson said in a session devoted to d'scussion of the white slave traffic. Dr. Johnson was director of the League of Nations committee which investigated international traffic in ’.omen and children in countries of \\ T orth and South America and 1 'urope. He just has returned from D similar investigation of these conations in the near and far eastern dountries. European governments have tund, he said, that the purpose for frhich the system was set up, to prevent spread of venereal disease and to preserve public order, has not been accomplished. DECIDES PEKING MAN CLOSE TO MODERNS Nearer Main Line of Descent Than Other Branches, Says Expert. Science Service WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.—Sinanthropus, the prehistoric man of Peking, may have existed on earth at a later date than either Pithecanthropus, the Java ape man, or Eonanthropus, the dawn man of Britain, yet he was more nearly an ancestor of our own than were either of these, his elders. So declares Professor G. Elliot Smith, noted British anatomist, in the annual report' of the Smithsonian institution, published today. “His characters,” says Professor Smith, “are more generalized, some of them distinctly reminiscent of man’s simian ancestry and others strangely foreshadowing the qualities hitherto regarded as distinctive of homo sapiens. “In other words, Sinanthropus enables us to picture the qualities of the original members of the human family by revealing a type which, though human, was curiously ape-like, and obviously close to the main line of descent of modern man.” LAMP IS RARE FIND Gem of Prehistoric Eskimo Art Discovered in Alaska. B.y Botencc Service PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29. A stone lamp, witn a human figure in an attitude of prayer, carved in full relief in the bowl, is the prize of prehistoric Eskimo art brought back from Alaska by a woman archeologist. The archeologist, Miss Frederica de Laguna, just has returned from an Alaskan expedition to Kaehemak bay, Cook inlet, where she excavated a prehistoric village site for the University of Pennsylvania museum. • The stone lamp is the outstanding find of the summer’s digging, in Miss de Laguna's estimation. Five other lamps with carved human figures inside them have been found In Alaska. This is the first to be unearthed from its old resting place by a scientific expedition. Origin of these lamps has been a matter of mystery, for stone carving is not an Eskimo 1 technique.

Contrast Hoover, Ritchie Parades as Different as ‘Night and Day.’

BY ARCH STEINEL HOOSIERDOM showed its face and held oiit its hand in two parades Friday that were as different as the proverbial “day is night,” and in keeping with the respective hours the parades were held. One hundred thousand persons participated in the welcomings to the man who is President—Herbert Hoover—and the man who might have been a nominee, Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland. The parade for President Hoover presented a crowd of respectful observers. The torchlight procession at night that greeted Governor Ritchie was a mass of colored lights, a blare of spontaneous enthusiasm, a personal triumph of those called “forgotten men.” The man without an overcoat carried red torches in the Ritchie rally with its multiplicity of political wisecracking banners, or stood on the curbs and waved white sticks from, which shafts of white light streamed. Cheers were plentiful for banners declaring for “beer,” decrying the “chickenless pots” and earless garages, and other partisan emblems. tt B tt BUT when the President rode north on Meridian street, three hours earlier, it was a somber crowd that gave more applause to the Black Horse troop from Culver than to the chief executive. Hand-clappings, whistles and shouts for the Republican candidate were as spotted in the humanity massed on Meridian and around the segments of the Circle as the black isles on a zebra's back. President Hoover bowed and waved his hands, to each burst of applause. He alternately put his hat on his head or took it off as small demonstration clots gave vent to their partisanship. The few boos were negligible. They came from high office buildings, and frequently were halted by some employer hauling the Democratic partisan from the window. Adding machine tape from investment and life insurance companies in downtown buildings, streamed out on the chill wind and waved to the echoes of cheers from the employes who held the tape in their hands. G. O. P. organization employes rode in a truck blocks ahead of the Hoover reception giving away flags and blue elephants mounted on sticks. The flags were at premium. Small boys stampeded the truck to obtain one of the banners. man THE President rode in a touring car. He was flanked by secret service men and city detectives, who either rode or walked at the car's side. Mrs. Hoover, vivacious, waved to the crowds that lined the curbs. Senator James E. Watson, who occupied the President’s car, looked to the left and right at each fresh outburst of cheers. The nocturnal parade, for the most part, was as well organized as a political machine functioning on election day. Reviewing the torch bearers from an auto on th* Circle, Governor

of the outcome, and hope Rhode Island has been won back to the national ticket. The town still is grinning gaily at the memory of its hero’s wit and reparfee. The question when two people meet is, “Did you hear Al?” and almost everybody did, either at the hall, at overflow meetings, or over the radio. His admirers arranged house parties, and had their friends in to weep and iaugh over their idol’s return to Boston and the regular fold. Only unexpected developments not now discernible, Democrats contend, can save the state for President Hoover.

The Rev. Robert Shuler

Bob Shuler Is Given Good Chance to Beat Tubbs and McAdoo. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.—1n a strange mixup of Ijallots and the prohibition issue, a crusader may be the next United States senator from California. A dark horse six months ago, the Rev. R. P. (Fighting Bob) Shuler now has an even chance to win the post, despite the opposition of the Democratic candidate, William Gibbs McAdoo, war time secretary of the treasury, and the popular young Republican, Tallant Tubbs. McAdoo, the dry, is running on the wet Democratic ticket, while Tubbs is a repealist. Runs on Three Tickets In California’s heated primary ! election last month, Mr. Shuler sought nomination for the office as representative of three parties, Republican, Democratic and Prohibii tion. Unopposed on the Prohibition ! ! ticket he was nominated by 10,000 j j votes. On the Republican ticket, ; he piled up 195.881 votes, and on the ! Democratic, 92,796. His combined vote was 25.000: ahead of McAdoo and 70,000 ahead ! of Tubbs. Takes Credit for Exposes The crusading Mr. Shuler takes : credit for sending a Los Angeles vice i baron to prison, removing a health officer and two police chiefs, expos- ! ing usurers in the notorious Julian | Petroleum scandal of recent years,! and saving Los Angeles taxpayers I millions of dollars by exposing! crooked political deals. He served a jail sentense for coni tempt of court. He also paid a $75 j fine for contempt. But his crusading never stopped. He is 51 and the father of seven i children. i _______ : Ritchie frequently smiled at sallies against Republican policies or waved his hand tc Democratic ! beauties on trucks. Twenty thousand persons participated in the parade. Forty thousand lined the sidewalks. Throughout the review at the Circle an airplane vith two parallel streams of white rocket lights zoomed, dipped and circled overhead. “It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen,” declared the Maryland Governor. Attaches accompanying him in the reviewing car pointed out a delegation carrying the banner, “Hooverville and Curtisville.” 9 tt tt ONE marcher with three beer bottles dangling from a stick, drew a smile from the Governor. Four women riding on horseback were labeled the “Four Horsemen of Republicanism—Deceit, Despair. Delay, Destruction.” Another banner compared the prices of grain in 1928 with 1932. Negroes danced the*jig. The “Sidewalks of New York.” and "Happy Days Are Here Again,” were the popular tunes of eight bands that dotted the parade. Rockets and bombs boomed throughout to the accompaniment of the shouts of the red-torch carriers. It took one hour for the Ritchie marchers to pass the reviewing stand and from the first walkers behind the Indianapolis Bugle and Drum corps to the last contingent there was no nfct-up in the shouts from the curbs or paraders.

ft was feared he had hurt the Democratic cause with his Jersey speech reviving the religious issue, but Smith smoothed out differences here. It is known that certain close friends gently criticised his Newark effort, and insisted that he speak more enthusiastically for Roosevelt and Garner. All took, the advice and made amends. He canceled a dinner and reception here to spend more time on preparation of his speech, ana he was at his best. Incidentally, he took time out to justify his Newark references to prohibition and religion. He explained that he simply wanted to clarify the prohibition issue, and to indict the present Republican leadership for its “campaign of bigotry.” In this wet and Catholic territory he scored heavily on both counts. He also brought harmony into the state camp, which has been divided since the bitter RooseveltSmith primary of last spring. Leaders of both sides fraternized from the moment Al’s brown derby bobbed up at the station. Thomas Gives ‘Six Points’ By United Press - BOSTON, Oct, 29.—Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, outlined a six-point foreign relations policy, based on the Socialist formula for world peace, in an address prepared for delivery at a luncheon of the Foreign Policy Association tcyday. Thomas brought his campaign to New England today after a day in New Jersey, where he attacked Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “beer for revenue” plan as “intentionally or unintentionally dishonest, and in practice impossible.” The candidate’s scheduled speech here blamed both major parties for failing to discuss their foreign policies. “If the proverbial man from Mars were to appear among us, he would be aghast at the inadequacy, or worse, of our ideals and plans for world organization,” Thomas said. Thomas listed as the six major tenets of his foreign policy: Recognition of Russia; adjustment of interallied debts at a world economic conference; disarmament, embargo on arms, war materials, and arms to aggressor nations; end of the United States “dollar imperialism” in* Latin-America; end of military education. Mills Scores Roosevelt By ini ted Press NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 28. Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills today charged Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt with failure to meet squarely the campaign issue of “transcending importance” —inflation. He made the assertion in identical speeches delivered at a Republican rally here and a few hours earlier at the annual meeting of the Connecticut Manufacturers’ Association at New Haven. Mills replied to the statement of Walter Lippmann, political writer of the New York Herald-Tribune, who had said Roosevelt indicated his opposition to inflation when in his Pittsburgh speech he condemned the Patman bonus measure, Reed Sees Victory By Times Special CHICAGO, Oct. 29.—A forecast of a “tremendous Roosevelt victory” was made here by ex-Senator James A. Reed of Kansas City as he rested in Chicago from campaigning. He came from St. Paul, where he made a speech, and tonight is billed for Milwaukee. The Missourian told anew campaign story he got; out in the corn and wheat belt. “A farmer,” said Reed, “was found who had switched from Roosevelt to j Hoover. He was asked why.

ARMY DENIES POSTERS MEAN JOBS ARE OPEN ‘No Men Wanted’ Nearer Truth, High Officers Finally Reveal. By . Scripps-Iloirard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. The United States army is conducting an advertising campaign extolling Tie joys or army service, but—and hundreds of would-be recruits have discovered it to their sorrow—the posters don’t mean an army job today. That now-familiar sign “no men wanted” would come closer to describing the situation. “Doesn’t Say That” War department officials were indignant today at the suggestion that j the gaudy cards being displayed in street cars throughout the country might be misleading. The cards read as follows: “Excellent men only are selected by the United States army. Is your name on the recruiting list?” The placards, army officials insisted, don’t say that recruits are being enlisted now. The purpose of the advertising, they added, is to “keep the public posted” so that when and if recruiting is resumed on a large scale, the army will have a large and desirable list of eligibles. Many Are Disappointed Nevertheless, according to reports here, a large number of jobless men, looking longingly toward j the s2l a month army base pay, have hurried to recruiting stations | and offered themselves as “excellent men.” And most of them were sur- ! prised to learn that recruiting has been suspended—or “restricted” as I the army officials put it. Recruiting hasn’t been suspended, | the officials hastened to explain, j since the department is constantly issuing requisitions for men to fill | vacancies created by expiring enlistments. But about 75 per cent of the vacancies are filled by re-enlistments, army men have the option of rejoining the service within three months after their discharge, NEGRO LEADER TO TALK William Pickens to Address Meeting at Senate Y.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 29.—A million dolla'rs—or fifteen thousand. Those are the two extremes in the budgeting of motion picture costs for the coming year. “Cavalcade,” the big special now being made by Fox, has a budget of a million dollars—which probably means it will cost more than that. “She Loved and Lost,” an independent production, will cost $15,000. Those figiires seem to be indicative of the trend of film production for the coming year. The major studios are going in for big and expensive pictures. Because of the shortage of pictures, the independents

are taking a chance on crashing the gate with films costing between $15,000 and $30,000. a a a THERE is room for argument, however, on the occasional practice of remaking a film almost in its entirety because of the poor quality of the original version. Granted that it is bad business to release a poor film, remaking it practically doubles its cost and there is very little chance of the studio being able to show any profit on such a production. Furthermore, the use of normal intelligence in the beginning would eliminate any necessity for a remake. ‘ Prosperity,” the new Marie Dressler-Poliy Moran film, is being remade from beginning to end. And it looks as though the same thing is being done on Constance Bennett’s new film, “Rockabye,” although studio executives deny it.

Polly Moran . , . her new film, A FEW weeks ago Joan Craw- “Prosperity,” is being remade, ford decided that she wanted her home redecorated. The decision was made on a Thursday. Joan wanted the job finished by Saturday so that she and Doug Jr. could throw a party. Fifty men went to work on day and night shifts. And the party came off as scheduled. n a a A COUPLE of amusing incidents just brought to light show rather clearly just how much Hollywood is wrapped up in itself, production was planned on A1 Jolson’s new film, “Happy Go Lucky," Irving Caesar was brought out from New York to write the lyrics and musical score. Also, he was very obliging about singing the songs at various parties down Malibu way. Then the picture was previewed. The studio execs threw up their hands —the songs couldn’t be used, every one had heard them. Caesar protested that they hadn’t been sung outside a few film parties. That made no difference. The studio bosses still considered them old. The lyrics in the finished product are by Rodgers and Hart. a a a A SIMILAR incident concerns a very charming ingenue, signed to a long term contract by a major studio. But all she did was sit around and wait. There was no work for her. However, being a likable girl, she was invited to numerous parties Then a scenarist wrote a part for her into a picture. The supervisor asked who he would recommend for the role. When the writer named the young ingenue, the boss threw up his hands. "'Woot, do,” he exclaimed. “Pebple are sick of seeing her." And she hadn't even been on the screen yet.

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres* Stnlf Correspondent | ABOARD HOOVER SPECIAL, , Oct. 29.—President Hoover, en route home, today followed up his Indianapolis speech with brief talks in which he declared that some time back the country was faceci with the danger of receiverships of 314 raili roads.

"We have also helped railroads to purchase equipment,” he said, declaring that since adjournment of the Democratic controlled house of representatives, business had improved, as shown by increased car loadings and other factors. Raps at Democrats Mr. Hoover said he had seen a newspaper advertisement to the effect that hosiery was being sold for 30 to 40 per cent less than it could be produced in Clarksburg. “Would you trust the fate of yourselves, your city and your community to a party pledged to decrease rather than increase the tariff?” he asked. He declared such prices as those he referred to were the result of depreciated currencies abroad.
