CLOTHES AND COLOR
New Theory ns to why People Are
white or BInck-The work
of Nature.

1t has long been known that climate
alone is not sufficient to account for
colored people. Dark skins are by no
means confined to the tropics; they are
to be found in races even beyond the
temperate zone This diversity, accord
ing to a writer in one of the American
magazines, can only be accounted for
by considering the different modes of
life that Lave acted for centuries upon
the various classes and castcs of the
country. The coolie who works in the
fields with Il strip of cotton cloth about
his loins is very dark, the merchant and
trader, who never go abroad without
being thoroughly clothed, are many de-
grcos faircr,
1t is said that colony Of Jews on the
west coast of India has been estab-
lished for nearly Is centuries, but be-
cause they have not followed the habits
of the people as regards clothing, they
remain to this day a white people. On
the other hand, the Aryan population of
India and Persia, originally fair peo-
pie, by adopting the customs of those
countries, have become in great meas
ure a colored race. Accordingly, il is
argued that the steady march of nature
is toward the evolution of q fair people
all over the world. The layer of dark
pigment beneath the cutcle prevents
the skin from blistering, and when
proper clothing renders this safeguard
unnecessary, nature dispenses with it
altogether.
1t is also hinted that color has some
thing to do with the mental and intel
lectual conditions of people, but into
these questions the writer wisely for
| bears TO enter.-LOndon Globe

MANILA, Augugt, 9.-The Ameri-
can casualties in the battle today
were forty.
Gen. Macarthur continued to drive
the insurgents before him today until
he reached San Doline, three miles
from Angeles where he Is bivouaced
tonight. The advanced will be con-
tinued tomorrow at daylight. Prog
ress is slow as the roads and fields
are flooded.
During the advance today Gen.
Macarthur captured the town OF
Colulust. The enemy lost heavily
but it required steady hard fighting
at times to make the Filipinos give
ground.
1t has been suspected for some time
that insurgents were entering Manila
under the guise of peaceful Filipinos-
The provost marshal began an inves-
tigation recently and discovered that
the rebels had entered the city and
were actively plotting to instigate
riots. Last night the headquarters
OF the enemy were located in cigar
factory at BinondO. A company o
the Sixth infantry proceeded to
Binondo and surrounded the build
ing. The factory was raided and
forty-three insurgents were captured
A number of others escaped.

were allowed to go ashore and those
who couldn't and could ride were car

The Next Big Thing.

There are several large things
ahead of lola in the way Of public
gatherings, but the biggest thing in
sight now is the meeting of the
Southeast Kansas Teachers Associa-
tion which will be held here Thanks
giving day and the two days follow
ing.
Al Pittsburg last year there were
about 700 teachers in attendance.
This year, on account of the curiosity
that is felt all over this part of the
state to visit lola, it is thought that
the attendance will approach Il thou
sand
The teachers do not expect to he
entertained free. They pay their
way. But as our hotels cannot begin
to accommodate this number it will
be seen easily enough that the homes
of our people must be thrown open
for the entertainment of our visitors.
To prepare for so large q number Of
strangers and make ihem enjoy their
visit after they come, Is no small
task. The greater part of the burden
in this case will fall Upon Miss Cliff
ford Mitchell, who is she chairman
of the executive committee, and it
ought TO be considered that she has
full authority to command the ser
vices of anyone in the town whom
she can use.
The executive committee held a
meeting, as reported in the REels-
TER yesterday, but nothing vas de
cided upon except to send out lettey
to superintendent and principalsr
asking for suggestions in the matter
OF program. The committee will
probably hold another meeting in
