The case was a suit brought by Henry

Younger Generation Larger.

To all who have reached middle life
1t must be very apparent that one of
the great changes that have come over
the women of this nation is their in
creasing height. 1t is most common to
see young girls who are still at school
much taller than their mothers, but
Carl Pearson, who has been dealing
extensively with the question, tells
us that in height and span and length
of arms, the younger generation is
distinctly larger than the older, the
son than the father the daughter than
tho mother.
The average increase in height in
sons is about an inch, but that of the
daughters is an inch and a half. In
deed, it has become an interesting
question among scientists whether or
not men will some day become the
smaller sex. Throughout Europe the
average difference between men and
women is about four inches, but if
women continue to grow In this coun-
try, this difference will gradually
cease. 1t has existed hitherto owing
to the fact that women stopped grow
ing at an earlier age than men, u.s.
ually at about seventeen years of
age, but it appears that lately the
growth period has extended over a
longer time, and at any rate it may
be asserted that the time is not far
distant when the average height of
men and women will be the same

ISOLATION building today by DR.. Luther
T. Townsend. of Boston. who declared
that leading scientists throughout the
world are abandoning the monkey
theory" of mans production. Dismiss
ing the mystery of how man came to
the earth DIR. Townsend turned to the
question OF woman.
NO university professor has ever
come within thousand miles of a
solution of the origin of woman" said
the speaker. land it is therefore un-
becoming of them to slur at the bible
account. The latter is the most reas-
enable and beautiful. for it does not
belittle woman to take her from SO
near the heart OF man as is indicated
by the taking out OF mans rib. 1t
places man and woman on an equality.
The monkey theory. once thought
to be a fact, is today strongly repudi-
ated by all leading scientists. The
more a monkey is developed the more
OF monkey he becomes. We may
we'll exclaim: oh. science. what
crimes have been committed in thy

Concerning the origin of woman DR..
Townsend. in his discussion of Adam
and Eve, History or Myth" mentioned
some strange theories. He ridiculed

WEALTHY AUSTRIAN WOMAN.

Geneva, Nov. S.-A woman, who has
been living in a savage state in the
forest near the village of Scientriar,

an unclothed woman was hiding in the
forest of my community and gave the
necessary orders for her arrest, but in
spite of our activity we failed to cap

trouble and appeared harmless, / took
no further steps.
"The other day received formal
complaint from an inhabitant concern

"By the advice Of the project, ar
