Apes Our Ancestors?
No! We're Cousins
Of Lizard LINEAGE
Special Co1yesponde,1ce

BOSTON, March 3.-Dr. Edward
Hickey Bradford. dean of Harvard
Medical School and ancestry expert,
has discovered that the so-called
tango lizard of to-day comes natu-
rally by his title. for mankind de-
scended from the saurian, the original
big lizard. The monkey. he says, may
be mans cousin. but whether the re-
Iationshlp IS first or removed TO the
4th degree no scientist to date has
been abie to discover
Darwin deceived u.s." he said "W e
did not descend from monkey forefath
crs. Neither are W. descended lineallg =
from the beastly babboon nor the agile
ape whose arboreal progeny may have
boasted about their family trees
The human species were originally
lizards, which horses and dogs and
monkeys sprang from. but scientists
have not yet been able to determine
lust when the lizard family quarrelled
and split up in this way, nor whether
the splits all happened at once or at
different periods. This would make
the monkeys our cousins, but it is not
known in just what order we broke
away from our lizard lineage
Just when the forefathers Of the
human race rose to the perpendicular
posture DR.. Bradford is not able to
state, but it was at least 100000 wears
ago, because the thigh and jawbone
OF a prehistoric person Of that period
was dug up in Java recently, and the
thigh bone. he says, indicated that the
long deceased ancestor was a 'Pithe-
canthropus erectus,' meaning that he
was accustomed to standing up STRAIGHT
Though there may be a striking re-
semblance between man and monkey. y
he adds, "the monkey has four hand ::
and though he may walk on his hind
hands, they are the same as his fore
hands
There never were any four-handed
members in my family" exclaimed the
dean, referring to the entire human
race. 81 examined the skeleton of a
person who lived 10000 years ago in
France. and the bones Of the feet were
just the same as the bones of Your
feet to-day On the other hand, skele-
tons of monkeys right down through
all the ages show that their hind ex-
tremetes. like their fore extremetics.
are just like our hands There is a
small bone formation on the hind wrists
of the monkey, but not of a nature
that could be classed as the heel of a
foot"

Music
Philharmonic Society Gives
Another Concert in
Carnegie Hall

The Philharmonic Socicty's concert
works of Beethoven, and those who
think that such programme is Of too
serious import for the public would
have had their eyes opened had they
been at Carnegie Hail. The audience
was of capacity size, and numbers of
people who arrived late were refused
admittance The assisting artist was
Harold Bauer, who played the EN-
peror" concerto.
There have been more brilliant per
formanccs OF the work, but few more
soundly conceived and carried out. If
it was not memorable reading, it was
at least a competent one.
Mr.. Stransky's accompaniment was
less admirable, for the orchestral part
was distinctly muddied. The other
numbers were the king Stephen over
turc and the Fifth Symphony.
Miss Maud Fay gave song recital
in the evening at the same hall. Miss
Fay was not at her best, and her de-
parturcs from the pitch were many.
She is, however, always singer of in
telllgence and taste, and she showed
this in all her songs-songs by Han
del, Monteverdc, Bach. Chausson. Four
drain, Tschaikowsky, Mozart and Wag-
ner. She was warmly greeted by a
good-szed audience.
Miss Alma Gluck was the outside
artist at the concert at the Metropoli-
tan. Miss Gluck is a pretty woman,
who possesses d pretty voice which is
/ gradually deteriorating under unskiful
usage. Her upper tones last night were
pinched and forced, while throughout
! her singing lacked the ease which used
TO distinguish it, Miss Gluck's is too
fine a voice to be allowed to take the
turn which it has displayed during the
last two seasons. She sang Micaela s
air and a number Of songs. The other
artists appearing were Miss Cecil Ar
den and Rafaelo Diaz.

The theory of creation advanced by
PROFESSOR Wood Jones, who made the

Although being classed with the
species himself, the Columbia pro-
lessor does not think much of man.
He is only domesticated ANIMAL

The Darwinian theory remains un-
shaken" he continued "The new the
ory put forward by London scientist
is based on the Talgai skull. unearthed d
from an Australian deposit. The skull
is said to have been found in surround

than had hitherto been ascribed to
man.
There IS 70 certain evidence, how
ever, that the skull is contemporaneous
TO the material in which it was dis
covered. Anthropologists have dis
cussed 1t for three years and have con-
sidered its significance from every
angle. In general their opinions con-
tradlct the theory of Professor Jones.
We still believe in Darwin.
DR.. Boas then asserted that mans re-
lationship to the apes is collateral
rather than lineal. We are not de-
scended from them, nor they from us,
according to him. Somewhere, far back

The Columbia authority attacked the
theory of Professor Jones at it's source

rate, you can't be prevented from think

minded OF 1t when you looked at the
crowds at the Academy, where the
Theda Bara picture is being presented
this week. How they love Miss Bara,
and how they suffered with her when
she was deceived and ruined. and how
they triumphed with her when she
made the beautiful he-vampire pay the
price, For this picture is different;
it is not "thc woman who pays and
pays" but the man.
"The forbidden path" is like the
paths of glory-they all lead but to
the grave. But it is difficult to remem-
her this when a man as handsome as
Hugh Thompson asks YOU to wander
down the path with HIM in his beauti-
full new RollsRoyce.
Miss BarA has chance to do some
remarkable character work, and the
story itself is vastly interesting. 1t

Why Get Peeyedi

A few days ago Luke published a
rhyme called The Hog" The rhyme
was q slam at the man who stops at
American plan hotels and eats every
thing on the menu, not because he
needs it. but because he figures he has
to pay for it anyway, and who forgets
all about food conservation in his wor-
ship of his stomach. The rhyme
seems to have jolted at least one trav-
cling man, who bawls Luke out and
calls Luke a degenerate and an enemy
of the Prohibition forces. We don't
know what Prohibition has to do with
making a shog of yourself when you
eat, but we are proud to be called
an enemy of the Anti Everything
League. Luke did not write the rhyme
in question. w. ]. Paul wrote it, and
1t was credited to W. j. Paul in this
column. Furthermore w. J. Paul is
a travelling man who claims to know
whereof he writes.
