Bones of an Indian woman were
found recently by members of a
geology field tripiv ig i
near Dexter, Dr. W. T3. Hirudale,
custodian of Michigan archeology
at the University museums, revealed
yesterday.
The incomplete bones were found:
on a farm belonging to Frederick
Ewald and were dug up by Albert
Crisman, who had been removing
gravel in order to fix a road. Un-
aware of their educational value,
Crisman made a clumsy operation
of the removal and they have been
badly damaged.
Dr. Hinsdale brought the skeleton
into Ann Arbor, where it is now
kept at the University museums.
According to Dr. Hinsdale, the
careless handling of the remains
removed all possibilities of identify-
ing the skeleton with any period.
Nothing was found with the body
to help identify it, such as pottery,
bead work, iron, or steel.
With the exception of a diseased
jaw, the body was in good condition.
It had an unusual skull, in that it
contained four wormian bones.
Wormian bones, Dr. Hinsdale ex-
plained, were those surrounded by
sutures. Four is the maximum num-
ber for human skulls, and this was
an unusual occurence.
The stature of the woman could
not have been high, Dr. Hinsdale
claimed. In comparison with skel-
etal remains of other bodies, the
Indian was at least six inches
smaller than average.,She was
described as middle aged, as fore-
told by the worn condition of her
teeth.
'Idaho Supreme Court

Must Clear 1,000 Acres Yearlyt
According to Termsf
of Grant.
By David J. Wilkie
DETROIT, May 2l.-(/P)-Back in
the early '70s a young Englishman,
Henry Wickham, came out of the
Brazilian interior at Para carrying[
a glass case which he said contain-
ed seeds for the garden of her ma-
jesty, Queen Victoria.,
As the queen's messenger, he was
permitted to hasten aboard his
ship without inspection. Wickham
told the truth when he said he had
seeds for her majesty's gardens. He
did not say, however, that they
were Tubber seeds and that some
of her majesty's gardens were in
British tropical possessions.
It was a smuggling Teat without'
p,, rallel in history. From it grew'
the great British monopoly in rub-
ber. It cost Brazil her sole control
o'j ie world's rubber output. It
won for Wickham a knighthood.
It is in an effort to win back for
Brazil the lost dominance of the
world's rubber market that Henry
Ford has begun, in almost the iden-
I tical region where Wickham gath-
ered the seeds that sprouted into'
the British monopoly, intensive cul-
tivation of a huge rubber planta-
Ition.

cultivation. Under the terms of the
grant at least 1,000 acres must be
cleared and cultivated each year.
Mort of the land was dense Jun-
gle, sometimes called the "Inferno
Verde," or Geen Hell, of the Ama-
zon valley.
Prior to the clearing work expe-
ditions were sent into the jungle
to gather seeds of the heavy-bear-
ing rubber trees. These were brought
back and placed in nurseries.
Since the work began in 1928,
140,000 seed-lings have- been actually
set out, and upwards of 200,000
;ecdlings have been developed in
readiness for planting as additional
acreage becomes ready.

Navy Will Prepare 20
to Fly New Dirigibles
WASHINGTON, May 21.-(,P)-'
Building up trained personnel for
two new dirigibles, the -navy has
ordered 20 officers to the July 1
class in lighter-than-air schooling
at the naval air station, Lakehurst,
N. J..
Five of the officers were added
to the school list after congress ap-
propriated funds to carry on con-
struction of the second new rigid,
ZRS-5. The ZRS-4, or Akron, will
be completed in midsummer.
The navy has also issued a call
for applications by warrant officers,
because of the ZRS-5 appropria-
tion, to take a modified lighter-
than-air course to fit them for duty
on board airships.
This additional 'detail will be
made up of one boatswain, one
gunner, and a machinist.

LANSING, May 21.-(/P)-C. V.
Fenner, whose activities on behalf
of a retail sales tax attracted wide
attention when he wrote Gov. Wil-
ber M. Brucker offering to contrib-
ute $10,000 to his campaign fund
if he would support the measure,
was elevated to the presidency of
the Home Defense league at a meet-
ing here Wednesday. The league
sponsored the sale tax, which was
designed to hit chain stores. Fenner
previously was secretary.
The delegates to the league meet-
ing, composed principally of retail
merchants, adopted a resolution ex-
pressing confidence in Fenner. It
declared that the letter written by'
Fenner to the governor, save the
paragraph referring to the contri-
bution, expressed the "sentiment
and thought of the league.
"We enthusiastically support
Fenner, and unreservedly condemn
the efforts made through this in-
cident to discredit Fenner and
through adverse publicity to defeat
the retail sales tax," the resolution
said. 1
After the meeting Fenner an-'
nounced the league will carry its
fight to the people. He said $10,000
has been voted for a campaign of,
advertising and education to bring
about the adoption of a sales tax'
through initiation. He added that
the league will work for old age
pensions, unemployment insurance
and a state "fair trade" commis-
