Meanwhile, reports from C. 11 Smith, another mine operator of long experience in Sonora, strength- ened hopes of the scientists that they 111 find definite evidences of the sup- posedly mythical race, Smith said he had come upon seven huge skeletons buried in a cave sev- eral miles froth the place described by Coker. Smith removed one large, bone from a skeleton and took' it to an American physician, he said. The physician identified the fossil as, a hu- man thigh bone and said that if the remainder:ilf the skeleton was in pro- portion it must have been more than eight feet in height. '`,"Canada Shows :lig Gain in Gold Output During Period of World De- cline Her Production Quadruples Toronto. --Expectation that Canada within the next year will move up from third to second place among the gold -producing countries of the world was expressed by Hon.

Over a period marked by a steady decline in gold production over the rest of the world, Canada ha., increas- ed her output from $8;000,000 to $33,- 000,000, and Ontario was responsible for mos,, of the .ncrease he said.

Appendicitis Increase Carbon Mono11cle The, increasing menace of appends eltis to modern city 'dwellers is em- phasized in a recent report of Dr. G. P. Jackson, Medical Officer of Health of the city of Toronto. • In 1915, 'Dr. Jackson'sfigures show, deaths from appendicitis in Toronto averaged be- tween six and seven, in each 100,000 Of the population. .By 1919' this rate had increased to abort 02 per 100,000 and in 1929'it was over 17 per 100,000: Death rates from 'this disease in 1928 and 1907 were even a little ltigher than in 192'9i'. so that the uscl record of last year cannot be considered an isolated accident. Statistics from other cities disclose a similar situation, recent in- creases of this disease being too great, health experts believe, to be explained as due to bettor diagnosis so that all cases of appendicitis' now are recorded properly instead of being' called pto- maine poisoning tomaine.poisoning or cholera morbus as, some probably were in former genera- tions. The medical profession is con- fronted, Dr. Jackson and many other experts believe, with the problem of discovering why appendicitis- really is growing commoner.' Dr. Jackson pro -1 poses no theory but one was: urged re- cently in Germany by :a Dr. Heile. This is that appendicitis may be due, to retention of alkaline fluid in the appendix and that this retention is en- couraged by eating too much food, es pedally too much meat. On this idea the recent increase of appendicitis in 2 city populations might be blamed on increased ovor.eating and high living. 1930.'oy Called '• atter Average Than 1910 Type Though Slangier and More Lawless, He Gets Medals for Health ar-.d` Brains St, Louis.—The average boy of 1930 is an improvement over, the same coen petite lad of twenty years ago, but he breaks more laws, has to use slang to make himself understood, is healthier, brainier and more polite, in the opin- fon of R. K. Atkinson, educational di- rector of the Boys Club Federation of America. Atkinson isoneof several hundred "boy experts' 'attending the Interna- tional Boys' Work Council conference here. He has studied boys for twenty- five years. The averageboy of - to -day reads more "trash" because there is more trash published, but profers articles on mechanical contrivances and in- vention to "Wild West' hair -raisers, he believes. Some of his other beliefs are that: The modern boy's hero is Lindbergh because Lindbergh embodies the same adventurous traits as did Theodore Roosevelt, the hero In 1910. He wants a "white-collar" job, tltiulcs a college education is a right rather than a privilege. and doesn't care much about being a policeman or a farmer. He ehowsinore sincere respect for his parents, partly because they don't force him to. His parents are less dominating. lie dresses better—has two suits to one in 1910. He shines his shoes more often and keeps his bair brushed. Ho isn't so inclined to run away from home, because he has more in- terests, and his parents give him more freedom. He breaks more laws, if he lives in a city, because there is less room for play and there must be an outlet for his desire for adventure. Re swears as much, but only to re- lieve tension, and probably uses more slang; in fact, must use it to be under- stood by his comrades. He has fewer chores to do. He is more mature, intellectually but has fewer'responsibilities.
