The old WPA scale ranged from a minimum $26 monthly subsistence wage in rural communities, where living costs were low, to $94, the “top” for skilled and technical employees in city areas. The average was $52 monthly. The new program will make montily payments all over the country more nearly the same, although some

Bones a Joke
Medical Student Solves ‘Mystery’ for Police Of Ohio Town.
OUNGSTOWN, O., July 4 (U. P.) —The mystery of the human bones found on the city dump had turned out today to be a college joke. Police Chief Carl Olson said a Youngstown youth who studies medicine at Drake University in Des Moines had told him that fellow students there apparently had put the bones in his automobile
as a prank when he left for summer vacation. The student said he put them in his cellar, intending to destroy them. While he was working out of town, he said, his parents apparently had placed the bones with other rubbish being sent to the city dump. The bones were found there Friday, and police had believed they had a murder mystery on their hands.
DROP INQUIRY OF WRITER'S SUICIDE
HOLLYWOOD, July 4 (U. P).— Police dropped investigation today of the suicide of Stephen K. Simkhovitch, a new York scenario writer who once made the startling proposal that he be “frozen alive” as a medical experiment. Simkhovitch ended his life Friday. He was 39. Pglice were unable to learn the motive because he did not live to finish the note to his wife, Beverly Ruth. “I have just drunk half a bottle of poison,” the note read, then ended cryptically with “the reason The writer, in 1935, proposed to be frozen and then revived by Dr. Ralph Willard, a chemist who claimed to have performed the experiment on monkeys. Simkhovitch was the son of Prof. Vladimir Simkhovitch, a Columbia University economist, and Mrs. Mary Kingsbury Simkhovitch, who once was named by Mrs, Eleanor Roosevelt as one of America's 10 most important women.
VETERAN'S EXCITING CAREER ENDS AT 90
DENVER, July 4 (U. P.).—Samuel F. Yarberry, a Civil War veteran who claimed that he saw more excitement before he was 20 years old than th eaverage man does today in
of 90.
At 14 he fought with Union forces of the Civil War in Illinois, and boasted that he voted for Abraham Lincoln for President in 1866 at the age of 17. He came to Denver two years later to engage in ox-team freighting. Eventually he came into possession of much prairie property which is now the center of Denver's metropolitan business district. Once he traded a square block of the now valuable real estate for a muzzleloading rifle. “I needed the gun more, then,” he said.
