NEW THEORY
ON CAVE MAN
IS ADVANCED
ZUNI N- M. Nov. SO. fT—From
the experiences of Navajo and Zuni
Indians marooned a week by snow-
drifts on the mesas of New Mexico
anthropologists have drawn a ten-
tative solution of the disappearance
of the cliff dwellers of Mesa Verde
600 years ago.
Skeletons Lacking.
The mystery of the lack of skele-
tons about the rums of the Colo-
rado cliff dwellings discovered in
1874 by two brothers Alfred and
Richard WthereU cattlemen was re-
called by the plight of the prnon
nut hunters who suffered hunger
exposure and death in a recent bliz-
sard.
A parallel is that the cliff dwellers
might have perished in search of
food. The modem red men. aided
by thawing weather and several res-
cue parties were pouring back to
their homes today with the harvest
of their annual nut hunting ex-
pedition.
The official death toll of the 1.-
800 Indians caught in the storm was
seven. Indians said 13 more persons
were unaccounted for. For a time
It appeared all the Indians would
be victims of the storm. That fear
turned attention to the Mesa Verde
cliff dwellings.
New Theory Fits.
If disease or a hostile tribe had
struck down the dwellers unburied
remains would have been found
scientists reasoned. The theory of
wholesale emigration was discard-
ed in view of the fact granaries held
much grain pottery was in place and
ashes of fires remained on hearth-
stones. Implements and other stores
remained.
Since the hundreds of Navajo and
Zunl Indians were trapped by snow
the theory has been advanced that
perhaps the cliff dwellers on a food
foray of some kind might have been
caught in a similar situation and.
unaided bv anything approaching
the modern rescue meatus perished
far from their dwellings. This theory
fits their strange disappearance
more naturally than any other ad-
vanced. _

WEATHER SUMMARY
Barometric pressure was again
rather high throughout the great
northwest this morning and re-
latively to moderately low over the
states immediately east of the
Mississippi river and over the Great
Lakes’ region. This pressure dis-
tribution has caused fair to clear
and rather cold weather practically
throughout the western half of the
United States except Texas; and
cloudy unsettled weather with gen-
eral rains in Texas and practically
all the eastern half of the country.
It was rather cool to cold how-
ever. from central and northern
Texas northeastward to the Great
Lakes at the morning observation.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.— /P —
Unflurried but watchful the secret
service headquarters today kept tab
on tite advancing carav ts of
hunger marchers/’ bound for
Washington from east north and
west.
When they get here says Wr. H.
Moran chief of the service they
will be handled ‘ in a manner sat-
isfactory to all concerned.'’
The secret agents have been
gathering data on the leaders of
the movement seeking—and find-
ing. they say—evidence that the
communist* have an important
hand in it.
Just what the reception of the
marchers here will be has not been
made clear. Demands for food and
lodging are not expected to meet
with official recognition at least
while the attitude of authorities
toward parading has been shown

I ‘ARMY’ ROl TED
BY TEAR BOMBS
HAMMOND. Ind Not. 30—(/P>—
A midwestem delegation of the
national hunger army” en route
to Washington to protest conditk-s
to Pres. Hoover was routed by the
police yesterday with tear bombs
after a riot. No arrests were made
but a quantity of communistic lit-
erature and a number of banners
were seized.
The disturbance occurred when
250 men and women recruited
from Illinois Wisconsin Minnesota
and North Dakota tried to hold
a demonstration on the court house
lawn in defiance of the police.
Members of the delegation who
were en route to the national
capital in 30 automobiles and tracks
halted their cars so some of their
leaders could address a crowd that
gathered. Soon someone tossed a
brick into a detail of 35 policemen
a:.d the disturbance became gen-
eral.
In confusion the members of the
‘army” climbed bock into their
automobiles and sped out of the
city. Thev were overtaken by the
police however and were compelled
to separate into four sections. Each
column was started eastward over
a different road.
TAX RETURNS
SLUMP AIRED
WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. — & —
The nose dive performed in 1930
by the nation's taxable individual
incomes amounted to more than
seven billion dollars.
Preliminary figures if the in-
ternal revenue bureau show the
results this way:
Individual income totaled $17.-
220.753620 or 29 12 per cent below
1929.
The number of those with In-
comes above half a millon was cut
from 1.471 to 460.
Those getting more than 11000-
000 dropped from 504 to 149.
Corporation income shrank
slightly less than five billion dol-
lars. Income from dividends of
domestic corporations chopped to
four billions from four and a half
billions.
Deductions for business losses
roughly doubled over the preced-
ing year to about a billion and a
quarter while deductions for dona-
tions dropped about $100000000.
Net profits from real estate and
securities were about *hree quart-
ers of a billion against two and a
quarter the previous year.
Final figures for 1929. issued
yesterday placed the total net in-
come for that year at $24800735.-
564 which was only 425 millions less
than 1928 s record.

Yield Information.
Perfection of this artificial grow-
ing of human cancer cells is a de-
velopment of the past few months.
Yet already the •impersonal” but
living bits of real cancer have yield-
ed to their caretakers considerable
practical information.
Raising these malignant cells Is
more ticklish than an incubator
baby. Regardless of their destruc-
tive powers when organized in man
they are delicate things. A single in-
visible mold or bacterium floating
through the air into their glass
homes while they are being fed ruins
the whole works.
So at Columbia they are kept in
a specially constructed tunnel light-
ed by glass windows. It is big enough
to hold a table upon which the
cancer cells live in glass rceptacles of
various shapes. The caretakers sit
outside thrusting their arms and
heads inside the tunnel through
special openings.
The workers hands and faces are
terilized. their bodies encased in
; sterilized their bodies encased in
! even speak while their heads are
inside the tiinnel.
Safeguard Cells.
The precautions are not to pro-
tect the caretakers so much as to
safeguard the cells against conta-
mination- Even the air is washed be-
fore entering the tunnel by being
forced through damp felt cloth. They
have to be fed regularly every 48
hours.
Experiments have not gone on
long enough to say whether a colony
of them might ultimately perish of
old age. but that is unlikely as thev
have the power of reproduction. The
film shows them doing this by
"dividing.” each living cell trans-
forming itself into two cells. Some-
1 times this birth process requires
only a few minutes. Each living cell
has power to move from place to
place with a swimming sort of mo-
! tion.
They are killed in various ways to
learn how beet to destroy cancer.
Some are So sensitive to X-rays and
radium that a small dose of radia-
tion kills them although it would
not injure healthy flees.

in still further its prolific oil areas
just before the opening of ^ con-
ference of representatives of oil pro-
ducing states today.
Asks Reduction.
Hill told the Associated Press he
would voluntarily propose that Kan-
sas production be pinched in ap-
proximately 10 per cent to an allow-
able of 100.000 barrels dally with
the provision that a similar reduc-
tion be made by Oklahoma and Tex-
as.
Failure of these states especially
Texas to cooperate would result in
Kansas opening its western wells to
their maximum flow in an effort to
regain markets now’ lost to the
heavy-flowing Texas producers in
the Panhandle region Hill said.
Western Kansas wells have a po-J
tential production of about 300000
barrels daily he said.

“We’ve played ball with these boys
from south of the Red River.” Hill
said ‘ and have cut and pinched in
Kansas production in an effort to
try to bring some sort of order to
the oil industry. Its time for us to
assert ourselves and we expect to
do so unless Texas comes across.”
Those present at the conference
this morning beginning at 10 a. m.
were Hill. Lieut- Col. Cicero I. Mur-

visory committee; Paul Walker

below Saturday’s close and 4 to t points
under the opening figures.

tically to Saturday’s close.

however and were sufficiently well
taken around 6 05 for January and 6 38
for Mav to stiffen the market during
the early trading. By the end of the
first half hour January bad advanced i
to 6.15 and May to 6 50. making the '
market about net unchanged to 10
points higher. Traders seemed to pay
little attention to the action of Liver-
pool or the further decline in Sterling
and very little southern selling was re- |
ported during the early trading.
Liverpool cables attributed an ad-
vance in that market to covering on the
lower Sterling and absence of selling
pressure and said the British home
