YOUR USELESS CHIN.
What Mechanical or Physiological
Purpose Does II Server

What is your chin for?" is the odd
query raised by Sir Ray Lancaster. the
scientist, who says he is unable to find
any mechanical or physiological pur-
pose which the chin serves
"The fact that modern races OF man.
kind have chins and most primitive
men whose remains have been found
did not have them naturally leads to
speculation as to why this is So" he
said
DR. Forbes Ross agrees with Sir Ray
that the chin is useless in itself but
gives the following explanation OF the
reason for it:
"All animals that browse have NO
chin at all. Their teeth slant forward
to ALLOW them to reach easily things
that would otherwise be beyond theii
reach. The moment man gave up
browsing on green things and became
less and less an animal his teeth grew
erect, and his jaw had to accommodate
itself. Erect teeth prove man to be far
removed from ruminants, and therefore
man with well marked jaw is fur
ther removed from ruminants than a
man without. That's why we are in.

NOT MERCENARY.

Some Of the members Of the medical
profession owe DIR. Friedman an
apology. They have been talking
about him as if he were a quack or
pirate. "Mercenary" was the softest
term used to describe the alleged atti-
tude Of the German physician, who
claims to have discovered new and
etiicacious tuberculosis serum. and Ger.
tain skeptics or standpatters have gone
out Of their way 10 announce that they
would have nothing to do with him.
Now comes the confusion of these
critics, for DR.. Friedman has not
come over to try to sell his serum for
Sl,o00,oo0 in case it should prove sue
cessful; that he is not seeking and
wouldn't take this or any other prize
that like any other physician, he will
treat both rich and poor-and the lat
ter gratis II need be; and that after
tests have been made of his serum by
officials Of the United States Marine
Hospital service he will return to
Germany. but rot before leaving some
of his bacillus with physicians of good
standing who care meanwhile to learn

brother, lis that the cure may be dis

suffering.

These percentages by no means indi-

determine that, the comparison should
be made by age periods, since the pro-
portion married in any class is dcterm-

WILSON'S CHURCH
WILL Be POPULAR
President to Attend Presbyterian
Edifice in Washington

Washington, March president
Wilson has decided to worship AT the
New York avenue Presbyterian church
during his residence in the white house
and that announcement has created
great demand for pews in this church.
For several days the church treasur
er has been busy receiving applica-
tons for pew space from those who
wish to be identified with the new
admins tration and who would attract
the notice of the new president.
This will be the first time in some
years that the Presbyterans have held
the white house occupant Mckinley

at the Dutch Reformed church and
Taft has attended the Unitarian
church.
Or. Radcliffe is Pastor.
The New York Avenue Presbyter-
ian church is presided over by the
Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. who was
once pastor of the Fort Street Pres
byterian church in Detroit. He has
served as moderator of the general
assembly of the church and is recog
nized as one of the leading divines
of that denomination 1t is said that
IL presidents have worshipped at the
New York avenue church. among them
Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's pew is
preserved in the same condition it
was when the martyred president oc-
cupied it; and il IL now used by Mrs.
Radcliffe, wife of the pastor.
1t is presumed that President Will
sen will be assigned to the Lincoln
pew. A great many vice presidents,
cabinet officers and justices of the SUI
rreme court have been members of
the church, among them the late Jus
tice Harlan, who was a pillar of the
church and an active worker i'm ii.
