showed the cop to be a real humani-
tartan: A little, frail, white-haired
old woman, her bent shoulders COW

an Eastside street toward the corner
grocery store. In front Of the store
she stopped and glanced hastily
around. Her trembling old hands
came out from under the shawl, seized
two or three potatoes on the top Of q
basket and were drawn back under
the shawl again. For q second she
stood there. her thin lips moving as II

FIRST HUMANS BLACK HAIRED
Interesting Theory Formulated b.
American Expert On Conditions In
the Tropical Regions.

Lieut.. Col. Charles d. Woodruff,
whose long experience as chief medi-
cal officer of the American army In the
Philippines makes him an expert on
tropical conditions, has written book
called Medical Ethnology," in which
he advances some interesting theories
on dark-skinned and white-skinned
races. The Lancet, in reviewing the
book, says:
"The author holds that the first hui
man beings were black-haired animals
but not black skinned, as their seat OF
development must have been in a cold
country where conditions Of life were
hard. necessitating a great develop
ment of brain, since only the most in
telligent could survive. They were
originally cave-dwellers. After time,
when the earth was largely peopled
with this race, there arose a large
blond type in northern Europe Metz
sche's ''blond beast" the TeutOnic SUI
perman-who established himself in q
dominating position in many countries
by right Of conquest.
ITO this race belonged the ancient
Greeks, the original Romans, the rul.
ing race in Egypt, and so forth. Un-
fortunately this type tends to die out
when it migrates from it's native eli
mate, and so in time the Romans died
out and their empire FELL to pieces and
the glorious period of the Greek intel
lect was short-lived. In the same way
white races fail at the present day to
establish themselves permanently in
tropical climates"
The Lancet quotes also some Of
Colonel Woodruff's opinions on the ef-
feet of light, which he considers al
most wholly harmful to white men.
1.-THE dark skin Of tropical races
serves as a protection by cutting of
the rays Of light; it also assists the
body in radiating heat, but at the
same time favors absorption from
hot environment, so that dark races
stand such heat as that Of a stokeh0le
worse than light-skinned people.
CONTRARY to common opinion. the
author holds that bright light is bad
for children at school, rendering them
restless and irritable. The neurasthe-
MIA which affects white residents in the
tropics and their children is due, he
considers, largely to excessive light
aided doubtless by high temperature"

No Good News

Although the failure to receive
letters from men in the service is
not pleasant to relatives and
friends at home the adage "no
news is good news" never was
more true than at present. The
report of every casualty at home
or abroad is Immediately wired
or cabled to officials at Wash
ington, being relayed from there
without loss of time to the
emergency address of the soldier
or sailor affected. It is also at
once released for publication in
the newspapers. No news of
casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has re-
ceived orders not to write home;
he has been urged, on the con-
trary, to keep in touch with rela-
tives and friends. The forces in
France have at their disposal post
cards giving general information
in regard to health and the re-
ceipt Of letters and parcels, which
may be dispatched without pay
ment Of postage.
Care is also taken to see that
mail intended for soldiers and
sailors reaches them promptly.
Where regimental and company
designation of a soldier is not
known it may be secured by APP
plication to The Adjutant Gen
erals Office, Washington, D. G.
In one week 1,674 letters with in
sufficient addresses were re-
ceived at this office. On 1892
the addresses were completed and
they were forwarded, 1913 were
returned to senders, So went to
the dead-letter office because
senders addresses were not given,
and the balance were held with
the view that the addresses
might be completed later.
