they were on account of their superior
intelligence able to injure or capture.
But these ape-like men were not vast
ly superior to the animals they used
for food, and some times the animals
made food of the men.
The higher animals of that time
also lived in caves and occasionally
they got into the caves claimed by our
ancestors. When the men returned
from the chase and entered their cave
homes they risked running into some
beast more powerful than they. In
the dark man was no match for the
giant animals whose eyes were better
fitted for seeing at night.
Man feared to enter his abode. His
wife and children he might find killed
and mangled upon his return. He
crept cautiously into the dark cave,
making as little noise as possible and
keeping always on the alert for an
enemy.
In this manner the instinct of fear
of the dark originated, and it has per-
sisted. 1t may be millions of years,
science does not know how long. be-
fore man will lose this hindering in
stinct.

STATE FAIR ISSUES ROAD MAP
Highway Commissioner Says Roads
will Be in Good Shape.

Frank w. Buffum, state highway
commissioner has promised that all
roads marked with the red and white
bands of the State Fair Highway will
be dragged, and all bridges and cul-
verts cleaned in time for the Missouri
State Fair at Sedalia, Sept. 1880.
In addition to having the roads in
the very best of condition, Commits
sioner Buffum says that he will have
men to warn the motorists of the
dangerous stretches of the roads.
Last year and the year before last,
the state fair marked all of the short
est routes from the very borders of
the state to Sedalia. The roads are
all well marked now and the mo-
torists should have no difficulty in
going to Sedalia in the shortest time.
This year the fair has issued an
automobile folder that contains a road
map of Missouri showing these mark
ed roads and how they connect with
the national highways and the main
Travelled roads of the bordering states
of Kansas and Iowa. All who desire
one of these maps can get the same
by writing to the secretary of the fair
at Sedalia.
With almost a hundred thousand
automobile owners in the state, the
motorist will find every convenience
has been arranged for him. The CEN
terfield of the mile race track has
been opened by subway and this
forty acre space is now available as
an automobile park. The cars can be
left here in perfect safety while the
owners enjoy the fair.

PARIS, Sept 6.-The Germans last
night made several unsuccessful at
tempts to recapture ground lost to the
French on both sides of the Somme in
the Allied drive on Sunday and Mon
day, it was officially announced this
evening.
Frances new 40 millimeter guns
played an important role in the new
victory over the Germans, according to
dispatches from the front tonight.
The existence of these guns was
kept a secret for many weeks. 1t is
believed it will provide more wonders
in the closing days of the war than
did the German 42-centimeters that
battered in the Belgian forts.
Since the beginning of the Allied Of
fensive on July the French and Eng

lish have captured twenty-nine viii
lagos which the Germans had organiz.
ed to the highest defensive degree.
They have taken about Al 900 pris-
oners, $50 cannon and several hum
dred machine guns.
The strongest German counter-at-
tack was delivered north of the Somme
between Combles and Forest. The
French had observed preparations for
this blow throughout yesterday and
were fully prepared to meet it. The
first men to attack fell under French
fire and the survivors were driven
back to their trenches.

THE FIRST at. HAS ARRIVED
This FrOsh, Greenest Of the Green,
Wanted Rooms at Academic Hall.

It's here. 1t came in Saturday
morning. It's about two and a half
yards long and about two and half
inches (more or less) wide. 1t came
in without a guardian-hence the
authorities at the State Hospital have
been notified. 1t answers to the name
of jeremiah Joshupa Ebenezer Jones.
II roamed all over Academic Hall
Saturday looking for a room. Yes, it's
going to school here this fall Going
to enter the College of Agriculture
and go backs and teach the folk
how to grow better beans. And it
thought Academic Hall was a hotel.
Having picked out good room on the
fourth floor MAX Meyers laboratory
it strolled into the Presidents Office
and lowed as how it was satisfied
and would take the room on the top
floor Since learning that although
Academic Hall is frequently used to
sleep in. it was not built for that pur-
pose, "it" hasn't been seen.
The sooner they come the greener
they are.
