Man and Civilization.

The marvellous progress of the last
fifty years has lulled us into a sense
OF self confidence and security as re-
CARDS our racial progress, says DR.. Eu-
gene Lyman Fisk I'm the Scientific
Monthly. DR.. Fisk believes that civ
ilization' has not improved mankind.
He writes:
Il do not think we have any evil
dence that man as an organism, wheth-
er in regard to his physical or mental
capacities. now presents higher aver
age type than characterized the ma
tons of antiquity. Indeed, so far as his
physical structure is concerned, there
is much evidence TO the contrary, and

great minds of antiquity would have
made equally good use of present day
knowledge If they were with us today

HELP SOMEBODY ELSE

know several little boys who
need coats, shirts and pants SO
badly that their mother really
doesn't know what to do unless
someone helps her a little bit.
The boys are between ten and
twelve years of age. Now any
boy who has coat, shirt. shoes
or any other article of clothing
that might help these people is
asked to bring them to the Pal
ladium office and ask for the
Junior Editor because she
knows the names of these folks
and will see that they get them
right away. Now boys please
don't forget. for I am sure you
have a lot of clothes that you
don't need right now. Two of
the boys have been ill and the
mother has to 60 out every day
and find some work to do SO
that they may have a place to
live and something to eat. Any
gift will surely be acceptable.

Laun0mar And The Cow

LaunOmAr was monk. He lived
In . big gray monastery with a
! hundred brother monks.
1t was Launomar's duty to act as
shepherd. and all day long he sat
In the meadows watching the
flOcks. Launomor loved all dumb
animals. but he loved best the gen
tie Mignon, his. favorite COW. Mig
non was considered to be the finest
cow In that part Of the country.
Her milk was rich and sweet,
while her hide was as soft and
shiny as silk.
One evening Launomar put Mig
non In her stall. Then he went to
his bed in the monastery, and since
be was tired out from the days
work he slept soundly.
While he slept, in the midst of
the night, six figures robed in black
stole to the monastery barn. I'm
der their black robes they carried
knives.
Up to Mignon's stall they stole
and cut the rope which tied her in
to the stall. M'Gn0n made no re-
.sistance. She. went with the rob-
beers meekly.
NOW we have the finest COW in
the country" said the robbers.

to our hiding place we will have

Launomar slept soundly and
dreamed that something was hap
pening to his favOrite cow. but he
still dozed. However he arose ear
ly and went to search for Mignon.
Meanwhile the robbers had taken
Mignon to q dense forest Through
the forest was short cut to their

darkness was SO dense they lost
their way and die not know where
they were.

JOHNNIE PLAYS SOLDIER

Once there were some awful bad
boys who had a habit of running
away from their homes to play in
a big military camp. The soldiers
taught them to drill and do the
manual of arms with rifle and
lots of other things. Sometimes
they would toss them high into the
air in blankets and one day little
Johnnie missed The blanket when
he came down and struck on his
nose. But Johnnie was real brave
and didn't cry SO the soldiers
thought he was pretty brave.
When the regiment was called
away to 60 down on the border
where they fondly thought there
were lots of Greezers to shoot, lit
tie Johnnie slowed away" in a
sleeping car berth and went too.
The soldiers-for they all can
sew and alter clothes-fixed. up
uniform for Johnnie. with an army
hat, leggins and whitfield him out
a wooden Springfield rifle.
Down on the border he saw all
sorts of wonderful; things including
ostriches, aiAgators, little Mexican
boys that shined the officers leg.
gins and taught him to swear in
Mexican. The soldiers thought
Johnnie should no. learn bad tricks
SO after they padded him he didn't
swear any more in Mexican or
American either.
When the regiment with several
others went on practice march of
one-hundred or more miles Johnnie
climbed into a combat wagon and
went too. On the march he saw
miles and miles Of cacti and des-
erts, rattlesnakes and deer some
times, although the deer were very
wild and one could only catch an
occasional glimpse of them out on
the rim of the waste.
Johnnie never shot a Springfield
rifle but once and that was sure
enough! II any boys or girls have
shot shot gun they know how it
kicks. Well Joh,,nie saw the reg
ular soldiers banging away on the
range and not seeming to mind the
kick much, SO he tried it. Johnnie
dropped down on one knee regula-
ton style to see If he could get a |
bulls eye. Then he pressed the
trigger. Johnnie. didn't know any
more for several minutes but when
he recovered consciousness he |
couldn't see much out of one eye |
and he felt wobbly all over.
He wished that nice little girl
he'd kissed under an apple tree at |
home once was q Red Cross nurse |
and he wondered If she wouldn't |
think he was pretty brave for not !
crying.
The troops months later came |
home and Johnnie with them. He
was a great hero among the other
little boys at home. He organized |
! company of home guards" and |
drilled all the youngsters in his
until they were the
champion Boy Scout troop of the
town.
When Johnnie gets old enough he
IS going to be q captain. he says,
md he'll make a mighty good one.

SOME NEW BABIES

TWO valuable babies were born
the other day at geological gardens
In Philadelphia. These babies have
just begun to tumble out of their
box home and seek Mama when
she takes an airing in the outside
pen. Mama, by the way Is the big
yellow liOness in the Zoo, who two
years ago was q mother although
her baby then only lived five days.
This time she has presented the
Zoo with a pair of growly. fluffy
little twins. and she is paying
much more attention to her duties
as Mama. Perhaps some one told
her 1t is hard to get any more ami
mails out of Africa. so she has de-
cided to do her best to prevent
race suicide in the Zoo.
Baby lions are rare creatures in
captivity, and any Zoo or circus
that Is fortunate enough to ever
possess a pair or a single one, be-
comes especially proud. The little
ones are oftentines born without
any palates, they only live a few
days. The pair ut the Zoo are per-
feet in this respect.
The keeper has not attempted to
care for them but is leaving it all
to the mother. The Zoo also has
new baby Zebra.
It's rather a difficult matter to
say that any babies are welcome at
the Zoo just now. because they add
so much to the est of upkeep. Hay
is difficult to buy at any price. and
old horses and mules. on which the
Zoo depends to feed its carnivorous
creatures, are hardly to be had.
Fish has gone up, and only nice,
fresh fish can be fed, because there
can be no chances taken with the
digestive organs OF tn high-priced
and hard-tO-get creatures that are
interned in the local Zoo.
There has been regular ava
lanche of baby deer at the Zoo this
month. One of the keepers COM
planned that he couldn't turn
around without finding new one
in the pens. Mr.. Carson says that
what is to be done with them is q |
problem. Usually Zoo that has
too many of one kind of stock ex-
changes with another Zoo, or lists |
the stock for sale with some of the |
animal dealers. There isn't any
use in doing tina, now, for few of
the Zoos are adding any hay-eating
animals to their lists. keeping only
enough stock to show different
specimens. Out at the Zoo there
are now a dozen slim-legged baby
deer belonging to half a dozen diff
ferent mothers in the Jap deer, the
Whitehall and the fallOw deer pens.
