Prof. Lyonel Lyde, who teaches eco
nomic geography in the University
college, London, has attracted a deal
OF attention recently with his remarks
on the subject of skin color 1t Is In

Prof. Lyde's theory Is that whatever

uniformity OF results must have been
produced. Nearly every anthropologist

original color is supposed to have

OF the coiors OF mankind today, and

calling him something, a Condwana.

this, they think, is certain. Then
came the migrations and then, Prot.
Lyde believes, the variations IN color
began. Some turned black, some
brown and some yellow, all according
to the climate In which they found
themselves.
Climatic influences work directly
and indirectly. In the tropics the
SKIN and the intestlnes perform
work which in temperate zones is
thrown on the lungs. SO when man
found himself in cooler lands the in.
creased activity CT the lungs. together
with the lessened light and heat, IA
vored tightening OF the skin. When
he found himself in hotter climates
the increased activity OF the liver and
the presence of great light favored a
dark skin.
AS primitive man went on his way
over the globe he adapted himself to
the conditions he found. Prof. Lyde
thinks that 1t is light, and not heat,
which is injurious, There are in the
tropics dangerous X-like rays which
must be stopped, and they were stop

Since lack of moisture also tends to
give tawny color, 1t Is found that
in rainy countries the people are fair

long and frequent droughts.

Subject of Prime Importance.

Weather is the one topic of CONVEX
fation that never grows out of date.
We are almost as nearly at the mercy
of the sunshine, the rain and the snow
storm as we were century ago.
Therefore We always scan the sky
when We get up in the morning. 1t is
almost instructive, even with the city
dweller. No farmer falls to take a
long look at the sky when he first
rises, for on the weather will depend
his activities during the day.

A strenuous overland journey has
just been completed by Mrs. Sarah
Conner and her four small children,
who, after trip In dilapidated bug
gy OF 900 miles, have arrived at
Wheeler, S. D., their destination. Mrs.
Conner and her children commenced
their journey at Moose Jaw, Canada,
following the death of her husband,
who left them in a destitute condi-
ton. Their nearest relative resided
at Wheeler, in South Dakota. A span
of ponies were hitched to a single
seated top buggy, which contained the
mother and her four children, one a
girl of eleven, boy OF nine, girl OF
seven and baby of eighteen months.
In the old buggy were piled the world
ly possessions of the family. The
journey required six weeks time
Some days they were unable to travel
more than fifteen miles. The two old
er children, and part of the time
three of them, walked while the moth
er drove. The ponies had only such
grazing as they could find along the
road and We're without grain the en-
tire trip They We're nearly exhaust
ed at the end of the journey.

HOLDS UP WARRANTS
Houston Lawyer is Determined to Have Standard Oil Magnates
 Answer Charges.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Full explan- ation from Attorney General Wicker sham of his reasons for and author ity to prevent the arrest of John D. Archbold, H. c. Folger Jr., and w. c. Teagle, Standard Oil magnates, on Texas federal court warrants, may be compelled by the House Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice after the House reconvenes.
 William H. Gray, the Houston law yer who came here to protest against the holding up of these warrants by the attorney general, today announc- ed his intention of bringing the latter formally before Chairman Beall, of the House Committee, to the end that there shall be a thorough investiga- tion Mr. Beall represents in Con- gross the district in which Mr. Gray lives. The charge against the Stand ard Oil men involves violation of the antitrust laws of Texas, under which the Standard Oil was elected from that state.
 Attorney General Wickersham is having the question investigated and has sent for the district attorney of Texas, who framed the indictments on which the warrants were issued.
