NEW RACE OF PIGMIES FOUND

DR. Schmidts minute investigation
of all the pigmy races known has led

of mankind, The child-race-not a
half bestial race. The distinction is
shown very clearly when one regards
as whole the characteristics of the
pigmy races. They are entirely men,
but undeveloped men, Their mind is
a human, thinking mind; they pos
sess human feeling, and distinct eth
ical will
Their intellectual attainments are
very low, but they are capable of re-
spending to demands made upon them.

the upright or projecting forehead and
the frequently large and expressive
eyes mark distinction which cannot
be overlooked.

To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece of man.
A mountain suide-whose name the
London Daily Mail does not mention
in narrating the story Of his heroism-
with two others, was leading a party
over one Of the most dangerous passes
Of the higner Alps.
The men, as is usual, we're tied to
gether by long rope. As they scaled
a wall Of fee they slipped on the
edge Of a frightful chasm. The guide
was at the end Of the rope.
Without his weight there was
chance for the otherp to regain their
footing: with It. his experienced eye
told him. there was none. With IN
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
Tell mother how it happened, Ed
mond."
He cut the rope and fell, never to be
seen again.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE 40
000-odd rural free delivery carriers

salary increases, as a result of a de-
cision reached by Postmaster General
Hitchcock. The order will provide
for the disbursement during the cur
rent fiscal year of $4,000,000 which
will mean an increase of 500 over
the present salary of 5000 for all car
riers on standard routes, with proper
tionate increases on the shorter
routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure Of this extra $4,000
600, but left it to the discretion of the
Postmaster General as to how much
of it should be expended. Mr.. Hitch
cock declared that he was led to
make this authorization through his
desire to compensate the carriers for
any additional burden which might
lbe placed upon them should Congress
approve Of the parcels post system
he had recommended for rural routes
During the current year the rural
service will cost the Government
about $40,000,000, the estimated loss
