New York, Jan. 21.-The red hand
of Europe has cast its dread shadow
over the minds of all America!
Puzzled scientists observe an en-
tire nation of one hundred million
persons in the grip of the strange
mental depression commonly called
1.-THE blues"
What is the matter with America?
they ask, and the answer comes back
in the roar of Europe's battle fields.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-01-21

The whole nation literally is
brooding over the terrible slaughter
in Europe. Across the Atlantic 3d.
900 men are dying every day, and
here in America 1O0,OO0,OOO people
are talking about it every day. And
it is having an extraordinary effect
on the minds of all Americans.
That this is not mere theory of the
scientific dreamer is shown by the
government statistics of the last year.

great puzzles OF the ages. Certainly
there are remarkable resemblances be-
tween the human and the simian
breed. Man undoubtedly lived in the
trees at one time and crawled most Of
the time on all tours. At some pc
riod, then, he came down TO earth. His
brain had been developed by the
agility and adventure OF his aboreal
existence. His tail, Of which a rudi-
ment still remains. disappeared. The
great difference between the types is
In the fact that man has either UNI
dergone such changes or was so Gre
ated that he stands erect. The baby
crawls about for the early months Of
his life on his hands and knees and Is
finally taught TO stand erect and walk.
Man. coming out Of the trees, learn
ing to walk erect. to manipulate an
o%pposable thumb, to gradually acquire
the power OF speech. becomes a fac

Prof. j. NJ. McGregor OF Columbia
University has made some remarkable

called Cro-Magnon man, who IN prac-
tically the modern man, the homo
sapiens OF the scientists, a being rs
well endowed as the moderns. albeit
he existed $4,000 years ago. His name
Is from the. little village Cro-Magnon,
where the remains of an aged man
were found, hence the popular allu-
sion to the old man of -Magnon.'
As Prof, Osborn has said. the SUI
perior Magnon type, which was
dominant in Europe and had driven
out the Neanderthalers. came upon
the scene AT the period which is rep
resented in the mural. This ancient
man fashioned weapons with which he
slew the great mammoths or drove
them into pits under the goading of
stone pointed javelins, The primitive
man ate the flesh of mammoths and

and finally took unto himself a cul-
