DARWTN'S SON
SAYS WE NEAR
NEW EVOLUTION
But Mon Can't Reach
Higher Plane
Unless

New York. Sept 24.-Onited
Press. )-Man-D from ape
is on the verge of d new evolution
to a still higher plane of civiliza-
ton, Major Lee Darwin, son of
Charles Darwin, author of the the
ory of the evolution of man from
monkey, today outlined the pro-
cesses of the new transition.
He told the United Press his
new Darwinian theory" could not
be accomplished unless:
Here's Why.
Capitalization is prohibited among
the criminal, the physically defec-
tive and the weak minded.
Sex knowledge is spread to all
peoples.
A plan of careful breeding is
adopted among present day people.
The wisdom of paying attention
to breed in cattle is universally ad-
mitted," Darwin declared. But
some argue that it does not follow
that the methods of the animal
breeder should be adopted by man.
That is foolish.
1t Is wrong to bring a child into
the world without a prospect of its
being able to live up to a certain
standard of civilization
Wouldn't Abolish Love.
segregation of the feeble-in-
mind is perhaps the most impor-
tant question but a would like to
see steps taken to lessen the CO.
habitation of the habitual criminal
and the unfit generally. The belief
that man sprang from an ape-like
progenitor gives rise to this new
hope that the upward march viii
be continued.
"Eugenists have been accused of
wishing to abolish love as a guide
but this is false. We only want to
purify love of all harmful infiu
ences. We want TO increase the
rate of multiplication of good
stocks and decrease the rate among
the less fit. thereby saving civil
ization from degradation"

HAVE GONE
LIMIT, SAYS
CHURCHILL
Sim Fein Offer Is Final
Nothing Left to
Give.

Dundee, Scotland, Sept. 24.-(By
The Associated Press. Winston
Spencer Churchill, minister for
the colonies, speaking here today,
said that the British government
had gone to the utmost limit pos
sible in its offer to the Sim Fein,
and that if it was rejected the gov
ernment would not have anything
else to give.
@End of Tether."
I'VE have reached the end of
our tether," he declared.
Churchill said that the govern
ment was profoundly disappointed
by de Valera's rejection of the Of
fer of dominion home rule"
The colonies head said the gov
ernmentS offer was generous, sim
cere and unanimous, and could be
carried into effect Immediately.
How could we agree to the set
ting up of a separate foreign re-
public in Ireland?" Mr.. Churchill
asked. Not peace, he said, but ac-
tual war-not mere bushranging-
would follow such a course.
We want a conference, but a
successful one" he declared.
Ulster Made Sacrifice.
Ulster, Mr.. Churchill said, had
made a real sacrifice and no longer
was a stumbling block to the rest
of Ireland He could not see much
real foundation for the optimism
which prevailed, he asserted, and
he still was uncertain whether the
Irish leaders stood. The proposed
conference, he declared. was the
only thing which stood between the
government and failure.
An attempt was made to break up
the meeting before Mr.. Churchill
spoke. Mounted police were on
duty all night. All the streets
leading to the hall were guarded
but a procession of unemployed
tried to rush the hall. The police
precautions, however, were too
much for them and order was re-
stored quickly.
In opening, Mr.. Churchill made a
plea for cooperation, saying the
structure of the civilized world
was strained. and that this was a
time for leaving alone all quarrels
and cooperating in rebuilding.

Hoover VIII Appeal
To Peoples Patri-
otisr71.

Washington, Sept. "a. Omitted
Press)-The hope of the admins
tratlon is that a nationwide volun-
tary organization to provide work
for the millions of men now job
less will result from President
Hardlngs unemployment confer
ence, which will open here Mon
day.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
Will show to the delegates the i'm
perative need for prompt action to
relieye the situation Just as he
did during the war when a food
shortage threatened the world,
Hoover will appeal to the patriot
ism of the country for the estab-
ishment of an unemployment Or
ganization
Governors, mayors, leading en-
ployers and representatives of la
Dor in all parts of the country will
be asked to form the voluntary or
ganization. Activities probably will
be directed by the United States
Employment service which it is
hoped to put on working basis.
President Harding, who will
open the conference, will urge the
need for voluntary cooperation to
make a big decrease in unemplOy-
ment before winter comes and the
hope of the administration is that
the conference will so focus the at
tention of the country on the need
for prompt action that the new or
ganization can be established.
Things To Work For.
Conference officials are expected
to suggest to the delegates the fol-
lowing possibilities as offering
hope of stimulating employment:
1-Construction of school houses
and other public buildings.
2-Resumption of home building
on a large scale.
3-Expansion of waterworks,
electric lighting plants, street rail-
ways and other public utilities,
especially where municipality
owned.
4-Road building.
development of irrigation
projects.
6-Revival of the textile and 9TH
er basic industries.
It has been learned that 1900
600 school children are suffering
from lack of adequate school
houses. The shortage of homes IS
estimated in excess of 100000.
Secretary Hoover announced to-
day the naming by President Hard
ing of three additional delegates
to the unemployment conference.
They are Clarence ]. Hicks, New
York, assistant president of the
Standard Oil company; James A.
Campbell, Youngstown, Ohio, pres
ident of the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube company, and Charles M.
Babcock of St. Paul, highway COM
missioner of Minnesota
These names bring to total num-
Der of delegates up to 81 Several
more acceptances will probably be
announced later today
In all about sixty were invited to
serve.

Chicago, sept. 24.-LeightOn
Mount, missing student of
Northwestern university may be
sequeStered in an apartment
here, according to reports OF
searching parties today. His
disappearance, ii was said, was
the result of prank and il
was reported that he would re-
turn home today. A group of
young people said to know of
Mounts whereabouts was found
in a downtown restaurant early
this morning, it was reported.
Evanston, Ill, Sept. 24.-Silence
of Leighton Mount, freshman al
Northwestern university, who dis
appeared in the freshman-sopho-
more class rush on Wednesday
night has led a girl confidante OF
his, Miss Doris Fox, to declare she
believes he is dead, that he sought
death. and chose the college strug-
gle either as a welcome means or
as a cloak to hide his self-destruc-
ton.
Boy Loved Her.
Miss Fox is "a, several years old
er than the boy. She admitted he
loved her and that he had threat
ened suicide A note he had writ
ten her just before he was last
seen said:
This is just before the scrap. !
am going into it with my room
mate. You made me love you
Then | loved you on my own ac-
count"
Disappearance of Mount, Miss
Fox said, was due to some other
trouble he had encountered, and
not, she believed, because OF his
love.
He told me everything" she
said. Things he wouldn't tell his
parents. He said he wanted to die
He was brooding over something
can not mention now"
"No Death" He Said.
He had talked to her, she said,
of different modes of death, and
had rejected drowning because his
body would come to the surface
again and people would find it and
see that he had been a coward
She quoted him as saying one time
There is no death. When | wake
up l will find it is all a dream"
When told the searching parties
had thoroughly secured the Glen
View forest preserve for some evi-
dence of his whereabouts, and had
failed to disclose any clue what
ever, Miss Fox burst into tears and
persisted in the view that no news
from him is bad news"

HOOP SNAKE
FIGHTS WOMAN;
NOW HE'S DEAD
Historic Reptile Pre-
SerUed in Quart of
MoonSfine

Joliet, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-Wilming-
ton, small town near here, is or
ganizing today to find the mate of
poisonous snake discovered by
Mrs. Henry Brodie as she attempt
ed to sweep it off the sidewalk as
piece of rubbish Mrs. Brodic
protected herself from the coiling
deadly reptile with an umbrella.
AS the snake coiled itself for at
tack, Mrs. Brodie called James
Shire, a neighbor, to her aid and
the pair with sticks and shovels
killed the reptile before it was able
TO strike with its spiked tail. the
wound of which is said to be fatal
The poisonous relative of the
deadly asp now is lang Y Jag in
a quart of moonshine WhIsny which
was produced for the purpose by a
secret source outside the city. The
bottle containing the historic rep
tile was put on exhibition in the
town hall.
Search for Mate.
Measuring IS inches in length,
it is of varying shades of brown
with white hair line stripes running
lengthwise. The upper jaw is in
the form of beak similar to that
of a fowl and the tail ends in a
spike one and one-half inches long.
1t contains the deadly virus used
in attack and also fits into the
mouth of the reptile when it rolls
like a hoop.
HOopsnakes were familiar sights
along the shores of the Kankakee
river 40 years ago, according to old
residents, many of the snakes meas
uring three feet in length. Because
the reptiles travel in pairs a search
is being conducted for the mate.
"SnakeOIOgists" ScOff.
Chicago. Sept. 24-Authorities on
snakes at the Field museum were
unable to identify the snake as de-
scribed in Joliet dispatch, which
was discovered there today.
There is no snake in this coun-
try with a beak nor with a spike
tail an inch and a half long" A. c.
Weed, head of the reptile depart
ment, said. The hog-nosed adder
is the nearest approach to a snake
with a beak. Its nose is upturned,
caused from burrowing in the
sand. 1t is a perfectly harmless
snake.
NO Such Animal"
Some snakes have an accumu-
lation of scales on their tails
which form a sort of spike. but
they are seldom more than a quar-
ter of an inch long. AS for hoop
snakes, there are none. No one
has ever proved to the satisfaction
of naturalists that he has seen
snake rolling down hill.
The hog-nosed. adder, however,
writhes and twists as if it had been
struck, whenever disturbed from
lying on its back, a peculiar habit
It's actions might be mistaken as an
attempt to get its tail in its mouth
