Baffling Man With Blindfold, Yet Able to READING THROUGH

BANDAGES

LAST month in a London office a man with

"X-ray Eyes" demonstrated his remarkable powers before a committee of famous doctors, scientists, and experienced investigators.

With his eyes heavily and scientifically bandaged he read-a newspaper, described in detail objects placed before him, re- produced drawings, and identified figures in photographs.

This modern miracle man is 28-year-old Mr. Theodar Kolb, who is engaged in business on the London textile exchange.

Dark-haired, plump and cheerful, Mr. Kolb sat in a chair and performed a series of astonishing feats in eyeless sight.

Under the glare of a powerful If concentiantion again became electric light Mr. Rob's eyes were intense. Then he announced con- bandaged by members of the com-fidently: "This is a picture of a

6,000-Year Old House In Palestine

Prof. John Garstang, British archacologist, has announced dis covery in Palestine of vestiges of human habitation of 6,000 years

ago.

The discoveries result from exca- vations carried on for six years and presumed to link the Neolithic period with the Early Bronze Age. The latest finds include a model house, round and shaped like a bee- hive with two windows and an ap per storey. It was discovered on. the oldest series of Chalcolithic floors.
