NO CHANGE IN HUMAN BONES
Construction Of Shoulder Blades Today
the Same as Those of Sixty
Centuries Ago.

There has been no dlscernible
change In the shoulder blade of man
in the last 6,000 years. according to
DR.. William w. Graves of st. Louis,
who spoke before the meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment OF Science.
Shoulder blades of Egyptian num-
mics, 6,0O0 years old. and those of
Illinois river Indians, believed to be
about the same age. are the same as
those OF the present-day men, accord
ing to Doctor Graves.
In July and August of last year Doc
tor Graves measured 1900 shoulder
blades Of men and animals, endeavor-
ing to classify the differences in them.
The vertebral borders, with which he
was particularly concerned. are the
same In humans as In gorillas, chin
panZees and also In lower monkeys.
Concerning the skeletons of Illinois
river Indians, which he said appear
to be between 1000 and 5000 years
old. he was asked II he considered that
proof that this continent was lnhablt-
ed then by humans whose physical
type was as high as that Of the Egyp-
tians Of that day. He said that he
could not draw such a conclusion, al
though the shoulder blades are of the
same type.

WEALTH FLOWING INTO CUBA
crops OF Cotton and Sugar viii Net
People of Island Some
$4,000, 900, 900.

Cuba's coming sugar crop is expect
ed to yield about 100000 tons-a rec
ora output. At prices which the plant
ers are counting upon receiving for
their sugar this will mean a payment
10 them Of from about $3.50. 900 600 TO
$SoO,OO0.000. Bear In mind that this
Is for one crop raised on an lslanu OF
only 1896 square miles and with
population of about 100000.
In the cotton growing sections of
the South there are approximately
ABOUT 2o,OOO.OO0 people. The center of
interest in Cuba is sugar, In about
the same degree that cotton concen-
trates the interest of the South. When
the cotton crop first reached the
value of s2,oo0.0o0.00o a year, the
world held up Its hands In amazement,
and yet this $1,000. 10000 is dIstrib-
uted directly or indirectly among U.s.
100000 people. In Cuba more than
third Of that amount will be distrib-
uted directly or indirectly among
100000 people. Every dollar Of this
vast sum is paid into Cuba from other
countries. 1t Is as though the entire
world production of gold for two years
and more were dumped into Cuba, as
measured by the worlds production of
gold and the Cuban sugar crop value.
