Ilussey of the geoogy de- partment blasted the school-boy- -ish pride of those who have ac- complished this feat when he ex- plained to his class in historical geology that the abily to use muscles merely means that the in- dividual has inherited a trait of one of our remote ancestors, the ape. In other words the ear-wig- gler is more or less of a throw- back. Professor flusgey also cleared up 'this matter of "hair standing on end." Matter-of-fact scientists ex- plain this phenomenon by saying that involuntary muscles at the roots of each hair are caused to function by some violent shock. This is just another "vestigial" or- gan that tends to prove that man i descended from the ape, it was Isaid. Clarence New, Writer, Succumbs In New York -Associatecd Press Photo The huge-U. S. S.

Clew In Bronx Bab Stabbing I NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-,(/P) - A black-handled stiletto, with a blade six inches long, was the only clew to- day as detectives hunted a killer who murdered a baby boy in his crib. Frank Michael Cammarano, four months old, was sleeping in a dark- ened room in the Bronix Monday ight. His father, Amando, 25,,was at night school, learning the plumb- ing trade. Other relatives chatted in an adjoining room. Silently the killer crept onto a porch at the rear of the Cammarano pome, The baby slept quietly as a pair of window curtains nearby part- ed and a hand thrust into the room. It grasped the, stiletto. Slowlythe long knife descended, a if the killer outside in the dark hesi- tated at the deed. It infilicted a su- perficial wound, then another. A third time it descended forcefully, ruthlessly, plunging into the infant's breast and pinning the tiny form to the mattress. Teresa Cammarano, 16-year-old aupt of the baby, thought she heard, a noise and stepped into the room to i investigate. She saw the knife quiv- ering in the child's body and screamed. Other relatives ran in-all Little Work Done By, 'hi Betes, He Claims SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 0.-The convention picture of Phi Betes as horn-rimmed, brief-case-toting burn- ers of the twilight kilowatts is ab- surd, according to Professor W. R. Wilson of Washington University, who claims that members of Phi Beta Kappa do 20 per cent less work than does the averageundergraduate. While the average student spends 100 minutes each week per credit hour, "A" undergraduates study only 80 minutes, according to a .recent psychology survey. ProfessoruWilson says this is possible because the brighter students study "faster;" that is, they turn out more work per unit time than the average stu- dent. except the mother, Josephine, who was held back so that she might not see. Police, calling it the most inhuman crime in a long time, said it looked like an act of revenge or jealousy but they could find nothing to sup- port such a theory. The stiletto, the crib and the window sill were car6- fully dusted with fingerprint powder but it was not believed the police found any prinlts. z Power Arch to 11: The special bus for the inspection of the tation of the Petroit Edison Company will leave y at 1:05 p. m. precisely.

Milstein Climbs To Fame Since Leaving Russiia Young Violinist To Play in Hill Auditorium .During Fourth Tour Of U. S. A, The progressive story. of a great triumph is the chronicle of Nathan Mlstein's eight-year climb to musical recognition. "Nathan the Wise," the young Rus- sian violinist who will play here Jan. 16 in Hill Auditorium for the Choral Union Concert Series, came out of Russia in 1925. Forced to leave his precious Guadagnini violin behind, he arrived in Berlin, without a violin, money, or connections. It was only a short time, however, before a backer appeared for a debut concert, and a patron offered him a Stradivarius. His first Berlin appearance, say critics, definitely established him as one of the first talents of the new generation. From Germany he went to France, where in Paris he repeated his Berlin success. Du ring, the past five years,' Mr. Milstein has toured all of France, Belgium, Spain, Portu- gal, Italy, and South America. Al-. most every summer, however, he has gone into retirement, rehearsing his repertoire with Ysaye.4 In the season 1928-29, Mr. Milstein: played twice with the Amsterdam Concertgebuow Orchestra u n d e r Monteux, with the Residenz Orches- tra of the Hague, twice at Scheven- ingen under Schneevdigt, with the four orchestras of Paris, the Colonne, Lamoureux, Conservatoire, and the new Orchestra Symphonique de Par- is; in Antwerp, and Ghent, twice in Monte Carlo with orchestra, twice with thedAugusteum Orchestra in Rome,, and under Arbos in Madrid and Bilbao. Coming to America for the first time in 1929, he proceeded en an in- troductory tour which included ap- pearances with the Philadelphia, Portland, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestras. Since then he has been to America twice, and will appear on his fourth concert tour of the United States. CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY -1 I I NEW YOR~K. Jan. 10.-(')-The author of the longest series of fic- tion stories involving the same char- acter everwritten in America is dead, but his "Diplomatic Free Lance" goes marching on. Clarence Herbert New, 70, for whom funeral services will be held Wednesday, wrote the first of his "Adventures of a Diplomatic Free Lance" in 1909, and the character has continued to live, month by month, with only two interruptions, in the pages of a magazine. The "adventures" missed an issue in 1916 when the writer's hand was bitten off by a bear he was feeding at Central Park zoo. Again, a few years ago, the "Diplomatic Free Lance" stopped temporarily when Mrs. New died. Altogether, New wrote more than threegmillion words recounting the intrigues and narrow escapes of his " :Free Lance," incorporatinlg into his yarn-spinning many of his own ad- ventures in far away corners of the world. In recent years New has been writ- ing ahead of schedule, so that theI II R Pi~bishAeriald Camlpu-s Ve Of University Is Best He 1as Ever Seen One of the features of the next issue of the Alumnus, official alumni publication, will be a reproduction of the latest air view of the Michigan campus, according to T. Hawley Tap- ping, general secretary of the alumni association, who described the pic- ture as the best he had ever seen. Alumni throughout the country wxill be urged to purchase copies of the picture to hang in their offices and to present to their local prepara- tory schools-so that the beauty of the campus may become even more wide- ly known, Mr. Tapping said. Another movement connected with these pictures is being started by Daniel F. Lincoln, '34L, who took his pre-professional work at Colgate University in H$amilton, N. Y. Lin- coh, in -connection with six other alumni of Colgate who are. at present enrolled here, plans to donate one of the pictures to be hung in the main hall of his former school. ie is also planning to send one to his home town, Jamestown, N. Y., to be placed in the high school there. He is being supported in this by 16 other residents of Jamestown now in school here. "adventures" will continue for several months. Besides this work spanning 23 years of virtually continuous publi- cation in a single magazine, New wrote many books and stories, using not only his own name but the pen names of Culpeper Zandtt and Stephen Hopkins Orcutt. Several of his more than 200 short stories were adapted to the screen. iis active life included construc- tion engipeering, exploring and jour- nalisn, He sailed the seven seas and penetrated African jungles and tht Aucralian bush.
