POLICE BOARD TO
DEMAND INCREASE
IN PRESENT FORCE
One Member of Board De-
clares City Is 25 Years Be-
hind the Times.
THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM

Steps to move the Richmond police
forward twenty-five years, in the
words of a member of the police board,
will be taken at the next meeting of
the commissioners, which will be held
the first Friday in September.
For some years there has been con-
siderable agitation to secure a larger
police force. AS the budget for 1914
must be arranged in September, the
commissioners are determined to act

ing the police department in every
respect possible.
Not Fault of Chief.
Speaking of the need of larger
force, members of the police board
declare that such a step would merely
mean a further preventive for crime
Edgar Tiff, new member of the po,
lice board. declared today that the
city, in its police department, is a
quarter of century behind the times.
This fact, he says, is not the fault of
the superintendent of police, but be,
cause city officials have refused to
back him in his plans for improving
the force.
Need Traffic Men.
Mr.. Iliff says that traffic patrolmen
are needed on Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets on
Saturday nights and many other nights
of the week 1t is his belief that in
addition to the Eighth street traffic
officer. that an officer should be placed
on Tenth street every night, as Tenth
and Main is a very busy corner, in
addition to the large number of pc
destrians and show crowds. The traf-
fic problem can only be solved, he
says, by additional men.
Allowed Eleven More.
According to the state law, this city
is allowed eight more patrolmen, a
captain, another sergeant and a de-
tective. At present there are seven
teen patrolmen, two sergeants, patrol
driver and the chief of police.
I'VE should have the full quota,
said Mr.. Iliff I'VE should bring our
police department up to the standard.
The department is poorly equipped.
in addition to its being short of men.
Our street car service isn't as good
as it should be, and for that reason
the patrolmen are required to do a
great deal of walking. We should
have an automobile for general pur-
poses.
Automobile Necessary.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 6.-Mable
Farmer, aged Is, shot and killed Hen
ry Danz today when he threatened her
life because she would not elope with
him. The girl told the police after the
shooting that Danz forced her to leave
her home and remain with him for
twelve hours in the woods. On pre-
tense of getting some clothes. the girl
obtained Danz's consent to go to her
home. When she failed to return, Danz
went to her house, carrying loaded

Working Out the 1914 City
Budget Is Putting Wrink-
les in the BroWs of the
Board Members.

The board of works as yet has not
decided on the amounts of the various
appropriations to be placed in the 1914
budget. This work requires more con-
sideration than any other, especially
when the city has not enough revenue
to meet numerous demands.
There are several improvements
which the board expects to make in
i914 and which will be very expensive.
Besides those deemed necessary by the
board there is the usual number petit
toned for by citizens.
The matter of widening North Third
street between the c. and o. passenger
station and North ID street is expected
to come to a head next year and this
will cost the city several thousand dol
lars, it is expected. Plans for con-
demning thirty feet of property to be
added to the street at that point and
the bricking of the street have already
been made.
Street Is Too Narrow.
At present this street is fifteen feet
wide from the railroad tracks to the
east property line. There is not
room enough for the passage of two
vehicles unless one of them is forced
to the tracks
c. and 0. officials have met with the
board about this matter and have
agreed that the width of the street
should be increased at least thirty
feet. This will necessitate the con-
demnation Of parts of four properties,
the owners of which object strenuous
ly and justly, as the property would be
ruined for commercial purposes by the
change. The railroad company is ex-
pected to pay large share of this cost

GOES ON BATTLE SHIP.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Former
Gov. Lind of Minnesota will be hur-
ried to Mexico from Galveston by the
battle ship New Hampshire, it was
announced today.
Mr.. Lind had intended to go to Vera
Cruz directly from New Orleans on
board a commercial vessel, but this
means of transportation was consid-
cred too slow, and the navy depart
ment today was requested to lend one
of it's ships to the state department
to transport the presidents special
envoy.
Will Leave Tomorrow.
Mr.. Lind will leave Galveston to-
morrow and is expected to be in Vera
Cruz in thirty-six hours, and in Mex
leo City within forty-eight hours after
he leaves the Texas port.
One of the first duties devolving
upon the special envoy when he ar
rives at Mexica City will be to check
up certain features of the report of
Ambassador Wilson and to find out
whether certain charges made against
the former ambassador have any foun-
dation.
1t is expected that Acting Ambassa-
dor O'Shaugnnessy will give Mr.. Lind
many suggestions and will aid in as
certaining just how American infiu-
ence in the Mexican capital has been
used for the past two years. Mr.
Lind carries a transcript of Ambass-
ador Wilson's report and a sheaf of
confidential documents relating to
Mexico.

What Huxley Says.
But, while the direct proof just
mentioned may never be obtained,
there is proof of another order,
even more conclusive. This is OF
two kinds: First, the structural
resemblances between men and
anthropoid apes are so numerous
and striking that there seems to
be no other reasonable explana-
ton of them than a community Of
origin. / have not space to go
into details, but Huxley has
summed up the case in q single

the gorilla are Of smaller value
than those between the gorilla
and some other apes"

The Evolution OF Man
Science Believes That He and the Anthropoid
Apes Had Common Ancestor.
By GARRETT P. SERVES

Again, Huxley says that certain
parts of the brain, which are re-
garded as peculiarly human, "ara
among the most distinctly simian
capeike") peculiarities which
the human organism exhibits"
But there is a second kind Of
evidence which, to the scientific
mind, is still more conclusive.
This is based upon the study OF
embryology (the science of the
development of an organism from
it's rudiments). One of the most
wonderful facts brought out by
such study is that the embryo of
an animal, as 1t develops from
the earliest germ of living sub
stance, runs through rapid
course of evolution before birth
during which 1t exhibits pecu-
liarities that characterized its re-
mote ancestors in their adult
forms. Thus the brief history OF
the development of an individual
is sort of summary of the long
history Of the development of the
race to which 1t belongs.
Common Ancestor"
When this principle is APPLIED
to the study of the human en-
bryo, it is found that a rnost
astonishing story is revealed
connecting man with the anthro~
poid ape. For illustrations of this
read the third chapter of Metcb-
nikoff's book on "The Nature of
Man..
More recently another Y1ne Of
evidence has been discovered
which shows an actual blood re-
lationship" between men and
apes. This depends upon the fact
that a serum prepared from the
blood of any animal shows pap
ticular reactions only when min
gled with the blood Of animals ~
closely related species. A &c.
rum of human blood when mixed
with the blood of other animals
shows no reaction of this kind
except when the blood is that Of
q gorilla, chimpanzee or orans-
outang, or particular species OF
monkey. Then the telltale reao-
ton is perfectly produced.
l have only space for a mere
reference to the most marvellous
feature of the evolution of man
after his DEVELOPMENT from the
mysterious common ancestor

1t is this practically infinite SUI
perlorlty of man to all other ami
mails which forms the stumbhng
block that prevents many per
sons, even now, from fully accent

applied to man. But that very
power of mind which he possesseg
has enabled him to discover his
relationship to the lower animals.
and, IN the end, 1t will probably
reveal to him the complete story
Of his own development.

Holding the Ideal, Not the Abnormal

trst general plan to be worked
out in America for the study Of
the strongest, best and most able
types-that is, the normal type.
The intent is to first interest
the parent, and there Is no doubt
this can be done. IF a parent he's
an exceptionally bright and tai
ented child he is pleased to have
the fact recognized by others.
If the child is defective voc
may have a hard task IN getting
the cooperation of the parent
in studying biological or gsnetis
conditions.
But the experience so far, N

are cooperating with the teach
ers. And you must havs the

Is to study the apparently excep
tional child and find out why no

and cheerful and helpful, ano
progressive-a joy to his teacher
and JOY to his parents.
SO it viii be seen that the in
tent of this most excellent plan
is to fix the attention Of teach
ers, school directors and parents
on the exceptional, and to fill
their minds with the ideal, g
possible, to the end that these
conditions that environed the ex-
ceptional child may be repeated.
Such information massed over
a period of years would do for
the world what Darwin's "Ori-
gin Of Species did for science,
Darwin simply collected vast
amount of information in refer
euce TO animals and plants, with
a multitude of significant facts.

that if we had. say, just one
book containing brief and accu-
rate data in reference to 100 eS

would be studied with great IN

pupils themselves.
Holding the ideal before the
public instead Of the abnormal Is

Earliest Man-Animal.

This animal was more man!ike
than apelike, but it possessed sur
ficient resemblance to both types
to lead some men of science TO
regard it as a specimen Of man
as he was before he had pro-
crossed very far from the point
where he and his ape relatives
struck out into their diverging
roads of evolution. Haeckel has
given to the earliest man-animal,
after his separation from the
original common trunk, the name
alalus (speechless), because he
thinks that the first man did not
possess a true language.
Now, as to the proof OF these
statements about the evolution
ary origin Of man. The ABSO-
Lutte PROOF which would be
furnished by the discovery of un-
doubted remains of the missing
link together with remains Of
intermediate types leading toward
the apes in one direction and man
IN the other, may never be oh
tanned, and that for the following
reason.
Tho separation of the human
from the ape typo occurred rela-
lively late in the geological his
tory of the earth. 1t Is generally
believed to have happened In tho
later Tertiary ages, perhaps only
a few hundred thousand years
ago, after the surface of the earth
had assumed very much the char
acter which it possesses to-day.

T AM in receipt OF a letter from
the president of an ad club
wherein he requests a state
ment from me. He explains that
he has sent a similar request to
upward of a hundred different
writer's. So here is the request:
please name three prominent
false standards in business that
exist to-day, and how to remedy
them"
Here is purely a negative prop
ositlon.
Forget the Evil.
The gentleman isn't interested
so much in beauty, excellence,
order, harmony, progress, success
as he is in false standards. Not
only win he not be satisfied with
one false standard, but he asks
for three.
I hope he does not consult me
as an expert.
forgotten that we live in an age
that is essentially affirmative.
There is no use dwelling on the
evil. Forget the evil. Let it be
swallowed up in the good.
Detectives looking for evil are
in danger in time of taking on the
character Of criminals,
There was a time, perhaps,
when false standards were COM
mon, but they were not univer-
sal. otherwise business could not
have been carried on at all.
In medicine, however. you will
find that the study of tho abnor-
nal prevails. Pick up any medi-
cal journal-of which there are
about forty published in Amer
ica-and you will find that the
diseased. the abnormal. the mon
strous, the peculiar the unusual,
the toxic afford a theme for both
writer's and artists.
In school teaching we have had
studies of the abnormal. The de-
fectives have been given great
space, and specialists assigned to
look after their needs.
A New Orleans Plan.
But one of the distinctive signs
of the times is a bulletin sent out
from the United States Bureau
of Education giving memoranda
of plan that is being tried in
the public schools of New Orleans
to give information in reference
TO the pupils who are exceptional,
And this word exceptional
