I haven't said anything about it until last week, because 1 didn't want to be 'kidded.' And, besides, I was engulfed in a marriage wave wh'ch swept over the 'Passing Show' company. Within a week three young women of the company quietly became brides and Miss Miles was the fourth." Here ensued a pause for breath and congratulations, which was broken by the winsome blond bride, prima donna of the company, asserting: "It was our mutual first offense and it's going to stick isn't it, Willie?"

Specimen Believed That of Man Who Lived in Period of Transi tion From Primitive Stage. PALO ALTO, Cal., May 20. A hu man skull, which is believed by Dr. Bailey Willis of the geological de partment of Stanford university here to be about 25,000 years old, was found Friday by Bruce Seymour, one of Dr. Willis' students, imbedded in the bank of San Francisquito creek near the old home of the late United States Senator Leland Stanford, founder of the university. Dr. Willis arrived at his conclusion regarding the age of the skull from a study of the rock formation in which it was found. The skull will be sent to the Smithsonian Institution for further study. According to Dr. Willis, the skull is that of a Neanderthal man, which means a species living in one of the periods covered by the transition of the human race from the primitive to the present stage. It suggests tne powerful neck and shoulders and the thick bony cheek ridges of the primitive man. Dr. Willis is of the opinion th the skull belonged to one of a tribt of wanderers who came from , Asia while it was connected by land with Alaska and possibly th region fur ther south.
