"You're right!". Camberwell swung

to unloa:k .the drawer' of a specially
constructed fireproof cabinet that
stood beside the desk. "What do you

The object which Camberwell held
out on the extended palm of his hand
was a small fiat jar of glass, with

but he would have agreed whole-
heartedly with your new science of

An acute observer might have har-
bored the suspicion that Dr. Cavan-
augh' was drifting along the current
of this irrevefent discourse with the
surface of his mind, while his real at-
tention was eesewhere. Tender cover
of these meanderings: he appeared to
be gaining time for some hidden line
of thought, reaching some inner de-
cision, But Camberwell was not a
psychologist, . He twitted uneasily in
is chair -with sa meth to be done,
he was in no. mood to, listen to a lec-
ture on philosophy!
Slight , as it was, his inpatient
movement did not escape the dreamy,
inattentive eyes" of Dr. Cavaaaugh.
He shook off his absorption, and laid
down his cigar, as'if that small and
definite, act were the symbol of his
decision.
a "I'm as bad as Hamlet's grave dig -
„I ger, He'd never have been allowed to

where I can take a squint at it under

"You think you can identify it?"
Camberwell, asked eagerly.
"At least I'll narrow the range of
possibilities." .And Dr, Cavanaugh
slipped the gruesome little box into his
pocket as nonchalantly as if it had
been•a package of peppermints.
Camberwell's impatience, perhaps,
would again have been severely tested
if he had seen the psychologist, several

Nevertheless "Dr. Cavanaugh had

Washington. — Scientists digging
carefully into` the prehistoric debris
that forms the floor of Gypsum Cave;
in Nevada, are continuing to pile an
evidence that man may have lived in
America before the great glacial'tidee
ceased to ebb and flow over much of
this continent, 16,000 to 804)00 years
ago,
This evidence, chiefly the iptireate
association of human objects with *ho
z'emaans of the big ground -sloth, Noth-
eotLerimn, that le believed to have be-
came extinct in the Pleistocene fit
scene peripd.
or Great Ice
Age, has not been aceeFt
ed a ronr:usive proof that man exist
ed here at that time. Added to arch
aeologioal discoveries made elsewhere
on the continent, 'however, it is re-
garded as most: suggestive of such a
conclusion. Dr. John! C. Merriam,
paleontologist and 'president of Car-
negie Institution of Washintgon, has
described the accomplishments in Gyp-
sum Cave as ranking "among the meet
interesting discoveries in archaeology
in America."
• Carnegie Institution is co-operating
in the work, which was initiated bypM.
R, Harrington, curator of the South-
west Museum of Los Angeles, Mr.
Harrington made his initial discover-
ies in 1924, while searching for traces
of the Early Basket ejakers, a rase
that preceded the Pueblos in the
Southwest long before the Christian
era. The cave, a deep, dry cavern of
irrogulax shape, 800 feet long by 120
feet wide, is about twenty miles east
of Las 'Vegas in the foothills of
Frenchman Mountain, overlooking a
wide stretch of desert and the distant
gorge of Black Canyon, the site of
Boulder Dant. In the five chambers
of the cave Mr. Halrington was sur-
prised to find that the deposits con-
sisted in great part of masses of ma-
nure, well trodden, down, much like
old horse corrals, and that numerous
relics of the Basket Makers lay, on the
euiface,
The situation puzzled flim, for he
knew that horses could not have got
through the cave's entrance and, fur-
thermore, that the modern horse was
not introduced into America until the
spaniarcls came, long after the time
of the Basket Makers. Ile Was sent'
back to the cave with an expedition ii,
the spring of 1030, and soon a member
of his party found an animal skull,
which Dr. Stock, an authority un
ground -sloths, identified as that of
Nothrotherium, Soon Dr, Scherer, Dr,
Stock and Mr, Furlong were hurrying
to the cave, and instead of spending
only a few days there, as they had
planned, they extended their stay to
work out a plan for thorough excava-
tion.
It was lint the discovery of the re.
mains of ground -sloths, not the Ind•
ing of objects of human workmanship,
primitive thongh they 'were, that ar-
•outed the intense interest of these
scientists, but the fact that both, were
Sound associated in auch manner as. t0
indicate that man may have been con-
temporaneous on this continent with
the ponderous, slow-moving beasts.
Had to discovery of this nature been
made in central or western Europe
under conditions pointing to'contem-
poraneous existence of man with ani-
male existing in Plelsocene time, no
great excitement would have been
aroused, for the fossil records of those
regions already have established the
presence of man there before the 129
cap ceased to thrust itself back and
forth' into regions tow temperate. In
America, however, such early traces
of man have been meager, and the
opinion has been held by many that
this continent was not peopled until a
relatively late time by races that pre.
sumably emigrated from Asia by way
of the Bering Straits,
The Quarrel in the Garden
The petulant petunia grew purple in
her rage;
"I might as well be sepia—I might
' as well be beige—
As a ruffle -edged petunia—near that
sbrieking scarlet sage!"
"It's plain that silly gardener forgot
that -1 was red,
When he planted those petunias
along beside my bed.
I might as well be forage grassl" the
angry salvia said.
"My neighbors greatly try me," fum-
ed stat•'aly hollyhock,
"Those impertinent petunias and
that salvia by the walk.
They quite spoil my pinks and yel-
lows—I might as well be deakl"

John Galsworthy in "Castles in

say "]fearing," of why the English
language Is the chosen speech medium
of the world at large. Ile writes:
"I often wonder, if only I didn't
