NO CHANGE IN HUMAN FRAME
AnatomIsts Find No Alterations Have
Taken Place In severay Thou
sand Years.

A discussion has arisen recently
over the brain capacity Of the ancient
person, fragments Of whose skull were
dug up in England not long ago and
became known as the Piltdown skull.
The first reconstruction of the skull
indicated an exceedingly small brain
capacity. But when q famous anato.
mist, DR.. Arthur Keith, examined into
the matter, he reported that a proper
reconstruction would show a skull of
normal size.
The fact is that the anatomists
haven't found any particular change
IN the human frame in the last few
thousand years. 1t was feared a few
years ago that the British national
physique was in process of decay.
But an exhaustive series of compari.
sons proved, as Prof. Karl Parsons
salt, that the average Englishman
OF today Is certainly not behind his
Anglo-Saxon ancestor" A twentieth
century man could wear his ancestor a
armor II he had TO.
The only bodily features that ara
undergoing changes that have been
observed. as Professor Keith says in
his interesting little volume on Man:
. History Of the Human Body" are
those Of the throat and Jaw and per.
haps Of the lower intestines.
He has examined more than 100
q. skulls Of Neolithic people-people who.
lived IN Britain 1000 Year, ago or
more-and has seen only one with a
contracted palate and irregular teeth.
Contraction in the width of the faos
and distractions Of the nose and
throat are fairly common nowadaya

to the less vigorous Jaw action reouir.

raw meat.
Appendicitis and certain other ,nte..
final affections the professor ia An.

from raw to cooked diet. OF othsr
signs OF physical change he finds no
evidence.

Attorney General Determines
Vexed Questions In Primary Law

er at least ten days before each pri-
mary election and for the correction
OF errors in the sample ballot 1t
will be observed that section 7 of
chapter 3 provides that nomination
papers for the September primary
election shall be filed at least thirty
days prior to the date of the primary
election, and the proper officers have
twenty days thereafter in which to
prepare and distribute samples of
the primary ballot. 1t seems to me
to be quite clear that it is the intent
OF the legislature that where there Is
no contest in the party primary that
no ballots need be printed. l am,
therefore, Of the opinion that if there
is no contest in the Socialist party
for state or county offices that it will
be unnecessary to prepare any pri-
mary ballots whatsoever for the So
ciallst party.
IN answer to your second ques-
ton, let me say that in my opinion in
the event of a candidate running in
dependent for the office of district
Judge, 1t wllll.s necessary for him to
hle his nomination papers, to-wit:
his petitions with the county clerk
OF Lyon county and the county clerk
OF Churchill county and pay each
county clerk fee of $50. This will
necessitate the obtaining of dupli-
cate petitions by independent candi-
dates running by petition for the Of

Government Will Pay Its
Proportion of Litigation Expenses

Resolved, That it is the sense of
the commission that all necessary
court costs involved in the adjudica-
ton of the water rights on the
Truckee and Carson rivers in Ne
vada, wherein the government was
instrumental in having the action
brought for the purpose of deter
mining the amount of available wa
ter supply for the Truckee-Carson
project, be paid out of the Reclama-
ton fund and charged as part of the
cost of construction, except such
cost as should properly be borne by
the state of Nevada
In view OF the foregoing recon-
mendation of the commission | look
with favor upon the plan. The prob
ability of adopting same depends
largely upon whether the comptroller
of the treasury will hold same as
within my official authority. Cor
daily yours, A. A. JONES,
First Assistant Secretary.

Free Wool Has No
Fears for This Man

Ed Morgan. the rancher near La
hontan, departed yesterday for Eng
land to purchase carload of fine
blooded sheep for Dan Wheeler and
others. This will make the third
shipment of sheep that Mr.. Morgan
has brought over from England for
MIR. Wheeler. The shipment will
consist of Shropshires, Lincolns and
Cotswools, and it is Mr.. Morgan's
desire to reach home with them in
time to place the sheep on exhibi-
ton at the Truckee- Carson fair in
September, though he has to make
very close connection to accomplish
that result
Mr.. Morgan expects to engage in
the sheep business to a limited ex
tent on his Carson river ranch. In
fact, many of the farmers of this
valley are coming to the conclusion
that sheep can be made paying in
vestment, considering the low price
OF hay, for the farmer must turn his
attention to some means of con-
verting his alfalfa into a commodity
that will bear transportation-butt
beef, pork, mutton or wool.-Church-
