NEW YORK, Jan. 26. An expedi
tion of Americans will leave New
York next month to call on the miss
ing link Garden of Eden, Hay Chap
man Andrews, noted explorer, de
clared. ! . I
Andrews, leader of the third Asiatic
expedition pf the American Museum
of Natural History, said he expected
to find the Garden of Eden the
cradle of the human race in the
deDths of Mongolia or perhaps in
India or in Siberia. He will spend
five years searching, operating from
a base at Pekin, China.
There is little chance that the
monkey will be found alive, but the
explorers have hopes of discovering
his fossilized remains. The expedi-
tion consists of Andrews, his wife,
who is official photographer, and
eight other scientists.
"Not only was Central Asia pre
sumably the cradle of the human
race, but it also was ..the center of
distribution for many of the animals
found today in Europe, America and
other parts of the world," Andrews
said.
"China and Central Asia, being
the most ancient center of human
dispersal, we expect to discover the
origin and evolution of the human
race. We will try to discover the
oldest man."
The hunt will cost $50,000 a year,
it is estimated. The expedition
starts for Pekin February 23.

port shows that out of S363.311.12 in

50 is on hand to meet the obligation.
While the balance of the departments
of the county are in good financial

surplus fund, the general and dis
trict road funds are the, -reverse.
Inasmuch as the law forbids money
to be taken out of another fund and

Clackamas county was almost en
