A NEGLECTED RESOLUTION We have no wish to preach, and are well aware good reso lutions constitute a tender subject seeing how nearly all of them; are broken within the first few weeks of each new year. Nevertheless, we venture a wisp of advice to those who are about to greet the first day of 1930 with" definitely deciding what they are or are not going to do. This suggestion of ours is not new, but because it is not much used, may be called as good as new. It does not require any special preparation, such as throwing away ash-trays or smashing cocktail glasses. It does not even involve suf focation of a habit, harmful or extravagant, and can be quietly applied without attracting special notice from any one until it gets in good working order. Theixitsxbecpme a-mattev for comm(entbut only of the most praiseful sort. In the Dictionary of Desirable Traits it is defined as tending to your own business in assorted sizes, to fit even those who have little business to attend to. Officers Named At Meeting Held By Elgin Club PEKING SKULL IS NEAREST TO THE BUSSING LINK" (Continued from Page One) FEASTING As some of the details are given of the world-wide 'observ ance of the Christmlis festival, the great aggregate cost indicated may suggest that feasting is now more elaborate than in the olden days. What seems most interesting and impressive is that the modern festival, while its cost in the aggregate is unprece dented, is characterized by a more general distribution of the gxiod things rather than by the elaborate features of ukl. Even the pre-prohibition manner of celebrating New Year's eve in some of the American cities seldom brought the description of a Belshazzar's feast. Americans, with their dinner clubs and banquets of their many organizations, eat in the company of one another more today than ever. Yet, even in the period of high prices, the dollar dinner or lun cheon is largely maintained. I Recalling the feasting of Old England as described by Dickens and Sir Walter Scott, one gets the further notion that modern feasting is more simple than that of old. The Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners of the Pilgrim Fathers, one gathers from their description, occupied no little thought and provision in their preparation. In olden times, some great gifts also were given. Here again comes the thought (hat while there are instances today of the' exchange of very valuable gifts, the colossal sum that goes into Christmas presents is due to the fact that gift-giving has become so general. The cost of the modern festival is so great because of the effort to get as many as possible to the table.

To skull was brought Into the assembly room in tho arm, of lr. ; Davidson Black, formerly of Tor tonto, who Is honorary director of the genoxolo research laboratory at tho geological survey hero. Dr. ' Black, who is also a professor of anatomy at the Rockefeller Foun dation hospital, handled the skull as though it were tho most deli cate piece of chlnaware, he placed it on a table while the spectators, eagerly craned their necks, among those present were Dr. Sven lJedin, the noted Swodtsh scientist nnd explorer. Prof. Charles Wilson Brown, head of tho geology depart ment of Brown university, ami Prof. Grahau. Dr. Black gave lull credit for tho discovery to W, C, Pel, youth ful Chinese member of the geo logical survey who unearthed tho skull on Dee. 2, tho last day of tho season's work. Dr. Black called particular at tention to tho vault of tho skull form, its massive brown ridges to the occiput and tho whole right side of tho skull, supported, when found, In a relatively soft matrix, which has since been removed. "In tho present state of Us pre paration," Dr. Black said, "Jt thus becomes apparent that the brain case has been almost completely preserved while most of the facial region would he lacking." May Settle Disputes Mr. Andrews, who had n private view of tho fikull last week In tho Rockefeller hospital where the skull is once kept In a safe said; "Tho skull will settle onco and for all many points about tho early human typo which heretofore have been in dispute as it is so pearly complete giving scientists much to work on. It is more complete than anything of tho kind yet dis covered." 1 Tho skull was found deep In a great cave. ' Nearby were many other bones, chiefly animals, but no tools and no signs of fire wero discovered Indicating that it was the skull of a man living prior to discovery of toots and fire. Many of tho bones found were those of hyenas and fromi this It was de cided by Home of the scientists that men and animals might all have lived in the same cave. PUTMAN 's .0 The Town Doctor (The Doctor of Towns) Says TtU&IltfS A KIG.V AT VOI R ' KfiBOW There Is a sign at every railroad crossing rending, "Stop! Look! nnd Listen!" yet nearly every day somebody gets knocked into etern ity by a locomotive. Kverywhere, thinking highway commissioners warn unthinking motorists lo "drive with discretion." "don't puss on a hill' "slow down," and all those things: still, a newspaper without a list of automobile fatal- Hies is the exception rather than the rule. - . ; As people sallt walk and drive blindly in front of speeding twenty- , ton locomotives, and as darn foots under steering wheels still kill themselves and endanger the lives of law-observing and caution-ob serving citizens, just so do some conVm unities remain sound asleep to their opportunities, constantly slipping more and- more Into the valley of "what used to be," while other live, wide-awake towns "take telling," shake ofr their shrouds of lethargy and get going to a bigger, brighter, and better day. What do you want In Ia Grande? What does 1m Grande need to make H what you would like it to be.?.
