Scenic Spot Declared Most; Beautiful By Assistant Secretary of Labor. Roh rer C. White. PEIPING. China, July 31. (ff) Discovery of a second sinaiuhrou hih skull was announced fy Dr. Davidson Ulack or the Rockefeller foundation at a meeting of the Chi nese Geological survey today. .The new specimen, which was pieced together from uncrushed fragments, was stuted to have yielded vuluaule information con cerning certain parts not represent ed in the first skull found last December. Dr. Black said he believed the second skull was that of a young adult male whereas the previous find was probably that of a girl. Reports last December of the discovery of a new. "Peking man" skull by a Chinese geologist work ing in the quarries near Pelping aroused much interest in scientific circles. At the time it was found it was described as the most com plete discovery of its kind in hls tory. Brain Case Intact The entire brain case was intact, which Is not the case in the Pill down and near-dawn discoveries. Dr. Ulack, formerly of Toronto, describing the diseovery of this first skull, recounted the excava tions since 1921 when the first I tooth was found of sinanthropus Pekinensls by Dr. J. G. Anderson, British scientist. Dr. Black also called attention to the vault of the skull form and the massive brow ridges. This skull was estimted to be more than J, 000,000 years old and to have shown a comparatively large brain capacity. GARRISON, N. Y., July 31. (P) News of the second Peking man skull was welcomed today by Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Nat rul History, as a.n outstanding dis covery In the history of primitive man. Those Chinese skulls rank with two others.ns the oldest relics of I he human race. 6ne of-the others ts the famous pithecanthropus nectus, the Java man, the first of llie.trlo discovered. Pithecanthro pus raised a storm of dispute, but now is regarded by many scientists us valid, and as probably around half a million years old. The other discovery was made a few years ago In England and is reckoned at upwards of a million years an tiquity. Type Established "This means," said Dr. Osborn, commenting on the new discovery 1 in China, "that the Chinese finds firmly establish the type of a dis tinct species of man, but anato mists are not yet convinced that the Chinese skulls belong to a dis tinct genus." (Genus is a wide classification horses and zebras, for example, be ing different species of the same genus). "Many anatomists think that bI nanthropus belongs to the same division as neanderthal man, name ly palenathropus. "These newly found,, uncrushed fragments will doubtless bear new evidence on this disputed point, which we shall hear of when the fractured parts can be fitted to gether and the reconstruction be studied. "The two finds make this an out standing discovery in the history of primitive man." "Industries are sound, and tend toward a ei-nilual Improvement in the unemployment situation thru-' out the United Stales 1 have ob served In our survey." Hoher C. White, ussistant secretary of labor stated last evening before lenving on the Shasta for San Francisco to continue the survey now being made by federal officials. Air. White is muking one of his regulnr tours throuchout the Unit ed Slates, uccompanied by Thomas 11. Shoemaker, assistant commis sioner of naturalization of Wash ington, D. c, and S. p. WUon, chief supervisor of Immigration, also of Washington.. Surveys of field services are mado by the, three men every two years. Includ ing immigration districts, natural ization districts, employment and conciliation services. Mr. White, however, wns more enthusiastic about his visit in southern Oregon and Crater Lnko than about labor problems and un employment. Urged to See Iiako When they had completed their work in Portland, K. P. Bonham, district director of United States immigration In that city told the officials that they must see Crater Luke before leaving Oregon. The party from Washington, ac companied by Mr. Uonhum arrived by motor In Medford Tuesday eve ning, nnd spent Wednesday at the lake. "It is the most beautiful sight I have over seen," Mr. White stated, "and there are few national parks that I have not visited." Besides the blue of the lake, Mr. White was Impressed by beauty of the high way, lined with trees. Mr. White remarked that he realized Crater Lake was becoming one of the most popular of the na tional parks, as the number going to the lake increases in great numbers annually, while atten dance at most of the other parks is falling off slightly. Restless CHILDREN CHILDREN will tret, often for no apparent reason. But there's al ways Caslonal Harmless as the recipe on the wrapper: mild and bland as it tastes. But its gentle action soothes a youngster more surely than a more powerlul medicine. That's the beauty of this special children's remedyl It may be given the tiniest infant as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset this pure vegetable prepara tion is usually all that's needed.. Ned Sparks.

Her emotional work Is very appealing and tear- hringlng In the latter part of the play, but fn the foregoing part of It she Is the same old vivacious, captivating little spitfire, which makes her later seriousness in which she displays such good dra matic feeling and acting, all the more appreciated. Not only that, but In her support are a number of prominent veteran stage and screen actors playing leading roles, other than Phillips Holmes, the handsome and rising young actor who plays opposite her In romance of the play.
