Progress and Problems in Recent Trade Bead Research

Thirty years have passed since the late Richard G. Conn presented this paper at the conference of the Canadian Archaeological Association in Winnipeg, March 8-9, 1968. It is presented here to show us how far we have come and how far we still have to go

EQUITY-DISINTERMENT OF DEAD BODY BURIED IN ANOTHER\u27S LAND

Complainant sought a decree in equity compelling defendant, administratrix of the estate of one Abram London, to remove the body of deceased from a grave on land belonging to complainant. Complainant had purchased the land in 1934, but through error of the cemetery officials it was resold to London in 1944. London\u27s wife was buried in the adjacent plot. Defendant contended that the relief requested would transgress London\u27s wish to be buried adjacent to his wife. Held, decree granted. The body of a person buried in a grave belonging to another is not properly buried, and the court will direct that the body be removed from such grave. Glatzer v. Dinerman, (N.J. 1948) 59 A. (2d) 242

CONTRACTS - MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS - REVOCABILITY OF OFFER SUBMITTED UNDER STATUTORY COMPETITIVE BIDDING

In accordance with statutory provisions, the city commissioners of Atlantic City advertised for bids for certain public improvements. Plaintiff submitted a sealed bid accompanied by a deposit of $5,000, as required by the advertisement, to guarantee execution of the contract if it were the successful bidder. When the bids were opened, plaintiff was the lowest bidder by a considerable margin. Investigation disclosed that an appreciable error had been made in the calculation of its bid, however, and before any official action had been taken, plaintiff advised the city commission of the mistake and withdrew the bid. Nevertheless, the contract was subsequently awarded to plaintiff, and on its refusal to perform, the$5,000 was declared forfeited. In a suit in equity for return of the deposit, held plaintiff may recover $5,000. A competitive bid is in the nature of an option to the municipality and may not be withdrawn, but equity may grant relief by way of rescission of the bid on the basis of mistake.

RES JUDICATA-USE DEFENSIVELY OF FORMER JUDGMENT BY ONE NOT A PARTY OR IN PRIVITY WITH A PARTY TO FORMER ACTION

Plaintiff sued defendant in a federal district court to foreclose a mortgage lien alleged to exist on defendant\u27s land in consequence of a loan by plaintiff to defendant\u27s predecessor in title. Defendant\u27s land was but a part of the tract originally encumbered. In a prior action in the state court, plaintiff had sought foreclosure of the same mortgage against the holder of another parcel of the mortgaged land on the precise grounds now asserted against defendant. In that action it was held that the entire mortgage had already been discharged. Defendant moved for summary judgment, contending that the former decision estopped plaintiff from reasserting the validity of the mortgage claim. Plaintiff objected on the ground that defendant had not been a party ( or a privy to a party) to the form action. Held, motion granted. Riordan v. Ferguson, (D.C. N.Y. 1948) 80 F. Supp. 973

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE-SCARCITY AS JUSTIFICATION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF NEW CAR

In two recent cases, prospective purchasers entered into written contracts with local automobile distributors for the purchase of new cars. Because of the scarcity of new cars, the prospective purchasers\u27 names were put on waiting lists establishing a priority for delivery as new cars were received by the distributors. In both cases the distributors refused without excuse to perform when cars became available for delivery. The prospective purchasers sought specific performance on the basis that the current scarcity of new cars and the difficulty of obtaining them elsewhere for cash alone made the legal damage remedy inadequate. Held, (a) specific performance granted. Heidner v. Hewitt Chevrolet Co., (Kan. 1948) 199 P. (2d) 481, (b) specific performance denied. McCallister v. Patton, (Ark. 1948) 215 S.W. (2d) 701

The Mystery of the Cosmic Diffuse Ultraviolet Background Radiation

The diffuse cosmic background radiation in the GALEX far ultraviolet (FUV, 1300 \AA\ - 1700 \AA) is deduced to originate only partially in the dust-scattered radiation of FUV-emitting stars: the source of a substantial fraction of the FUV background radiation remains a mystery. The radiation is remarkably uniform at both far northern and far southern Galactic latitudes, and it increases toward lower Galactic latitudes at all Galactic longitudes. We examine speculation that it might be due to interaction of the dark matter with the nuclei of the interstellar medium but we are unable to point to a plausible mechanism for an effective interaction. We also explore the possibility that we are seeing radiation from bright FUV-emitting stars scattering from a "second population" of interstellar grains---grains that are small compared with FUV wavelengths. Such grains are known to exist (Draine 2011) and they scatter with very high albedo, with an isotropic scattering pattern. However, comparison with the observed distribution (deduced from their $100\ \mu$m emission) of grains at high Galactic latitudes shows no correlation between the grains' location and the observed FUV emission. Our modeling of the FUV scattering by small grains also shows that there must be remarkably few such "smaller" grains at high Galactic latitudes, both North and South; this likely means simply that there is very little interstellar dust of any kind at the Galactic poles, in agreement with Perry & Johnston (1982). We also review our limited knowledge of the cosmic diffuse background at ultraviolet wavelengths shortward of Lyman $\alpha$---it could be that our "second component" of the diffuse far-ultraviolet background persists shortward of the Lyman limit, and is the cause of the re-ionization of the Universe (Kollmeier et al. 2014).Comment: 73 pages, 31 figures, ApJ accepte
