The jitney bus at present is in
an experimental stage.
With the rapidly increasing de-
velopment OF the vehicle indus
try, the fact must be accepted that
this means of transportation, both
urban and interurban, is here to
stay in some form and must be
reckoned with.

lieve that all possible safeguards
should be adopted to protect the
public against damage to persons

The jitney business Is causing
transportation experts the same
difficulty and problems that the
electric and cable cars did when
they succeeded the horse car.
There are two classes to be con-
sidered In the jitney proposition,
those who live within the short
haul, or the three-mile limit, be-
yond which the jitneys seem un-
able to make any money, and
those who live within the city,
but farther in the suburbs.
In the short haul cases, the OPP
orators pick off the cream OF the
traffic, while those on the long
haul suffer. Both must be pro-
tected, yet those on the long haul
cannot be expected to charge the
same rate as the others.
The man earning the smaller
wage nearly always lives on the
outskirts of the city. The jitneys
have proved boon to communi-
ties not reached by street cars
and should not be regulated to
death until their worth is proved
or disproved.

CLIMATES EFFECT ON GROWTH.
Scientist Concludes Maturity of Child
Not Reached Earlier in Tropics.

Children do not reach maturity in
tropical climate any quicker than in
temperate climates. This remark
able conclusion, which runs contrary
to widely held belief, has been
reached by Prof. Franz Boas, profess
sor of anthropology at Columbia Uni
versity, says the New York Evening
Post. Prof. Boas, fresh from parti-
cipation in a scientific survey of Por-
to Rico, made his report to the New
York Academy of Sciences, which un-
dertook the Investigation.
"The first of our anthropological
inquiries had for its object the study
of conditions of growth of the body
in a tropical environment, says
Prof. Boas. 1T is generally assum-
ed that heat has the effect of acceler-
ating the physiological development
so that in warm climates children
reach maturity earlier than in tenn
perate zones. Our inquiries do not
substantiate this view. The material
has not yet been collated, but from
the general character of the data |
venture to say that they will be OF
the very greatest importance for
practical measures relating to the
hygiene of childhood and for the
management of schools.
1.-The data thus obtained give also
valuable information on the type OF
Porto Ricans, and necessitated
studies among the adults. Material
for these has been obtained particu-
larly among the soldiers of the Porto
Rican regiment, and the success of
this work is entirely due to the lib
eral assistance of Major Basil H.
Dutchem. - 1t is not possible yet to
speak of the results of this work
with certainty, but it would seem
that a remarkably strong environ
mental influence upon the racial type
of man may be observed. If this
should prove to be the case, we
should have succeeded in establish
ing a fact of great scientific import
ance."
Prof. Boas's report also covers an
inquiry into the folklore of the Por-
to Ricans, and researches into the
antiquities of the island. Of this
work he says:
THE collection of folklore in Por-
to Rico was entrusted to DR.. j. Alden
Mason, who solved his task with
great skill and success. He has &C
cumulated many hundreds of folk
tales, riddles, rhymes, ballads, and
songs which will give us clear in
sight into the traditional literature
of the island. I think the material,
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-05-18

when worked out and published, will
have not only great value for the
study Of romance philology and COM
parative literature, but will also fur
nish reading matter for the rural
schools, attractive and interesting to
the children, because based on their
own historic environment. 1t should
have an influence similar to that of
the European fairy tales collected a
century ago, which have been a
source of pleasure and instruction
for millions.
"The archaeological work has been
carried on by DR.. H. K. Haeberlin,
Robert T. Aitken, and DR.. J. Alden
Mason. DR.. Haeberlin investigated
with great care one stone enclosure
(juego di bolas) in the Jobo district
and a cave near by. The latter con-
tanned some ceremonial objects and a
small number of buria. In the cave
were found large numbers of bones of
an extinct rodent that may have been
used for food. Messrs. Mason and
Aitken excavated a large cave in
Caguana, Utuado, which proved to
be the burial ground of ancient
community. Here also large num-
Der of bones of extinct rodents were
found. At the foot of the hill in
which the cave is situated were
found terraces and enclosures, evi-
dence of the existence of an ancient
village, to which undoubtedly the
cave belonged.
"After the cave had been cleared
out completely, Messrs. Aitken and
Mason took up a preliminary investl-
cation of village site at Capa, To-
Gated by the writer, that seemed OF
particular interest. For the pres
ent half-year the committee has con-
tributed considerable funds for re-

be by far the most important of all
archaeological localities so far inves-
tigated in Porto Rico. DR.. Mason
has been carrying on work there
throughout this half-year, with the
exception of a period of about four
weeks. He closed his field work on
the 18th of December, although not
more than about one-third of the
whole site has been excavated. An
accurate survey of the site is being
made.
The locality seems to be so i'm
portant that it ought to be preserved
and 1 trust that the government OF
Porto Rico may find it possible to
protect it temporarily by detailing a
policeman to watch it, and perma-
nently by acquiring the site as a
national monument

ing was made possible by an offer of
Emerson Mcmillan, at that time pres
ident of the academy, to contribute
$1,000 a year for period of five
years, and an appropriation of $500
a year by the council from the
academy's funds for similar period.
The endeavor received the coopera-
ton of the American Museum of
Natural History, the New York b.
tanical Garden, and the scientific de-
partments of Columbia University,
New York University, and other in
stitutions. The Insular government
of Porto Rico included an item of
$4,000 for the survey in it's budget
for 1914-15 and again in the budget
for 1915-16, and it has been request
ed to continue this subsidy for three
years longer.
The committee of the council
charged with the direction of the sur
vey consisted Of Profs. Britton,
Champion, Kemp, Boas, and Poor.
The preliminary reconnaissances
were made by Profs. Britton and
Champion during the winter and ear
ly spring of 1914, and the work has
since progressed continuously, in the
field and in the laboratory. Collec-

barefoot dance in one of the scenes.
Miss Green was piruetting about the
stage in the Fox Hoboken studio when
she stepped on a safety-razor blade
that had been used in one of the pre-

deep cash in Miss Green's left foot.
So serious the wound that the actress
was unable to continue her work in
the production for several days.
Miss Green has been with only two

able her to achieve the success she
now enjoys as one OF the William
