found. and It's final achievement is
likely to result In all sorts of scien
tific recriminations. The whole mat
ter takes It's origin from a statement
recently made by Professor LOOMS
before a scletific meeting at the Ho-
tel Astur that the camel as we know
it today Is OF American and not
Asiatlc origin. He explained, MS a
result of his Investigations IN the
southwest, that the animal in ques-
ton began its existence in this coun-
try some three million years ago, rs
shown by fossil remains. In support
Of his argument he exhibited spcci-
mems of the alleged camel varying
from the slzc OF a jack rabbit and
having four toes and no sign Of u
hump up to larger specimens of a
later period with horns resembling
small antelnpcs more than anything
else. Unfortunately for American
claim To the first camel as advanced
by Professor Loomi>. various scien-
lists have risen up and asserted that
the specimens which he held 10 be
prehistoric camcls were nothing
more than prehistoric rabbits and an-
telopes. Back or them Is the sup
port of the laymen who argue TINT
an animal that resembles Il rabbit
more than anything else was Just as
much Il rabbit three million years age
as now. and that the antelope sized
specimens were antelopes especially
in view of the fact that camels never
had any horns So the question,
which promises to divide scientists
into two camps still remains When
is a camel not a camel? The an
swer given by those who disagree with
Professor Loomis is--when it Is a rab-
bit or an antelope.
