quest for the so-called missing link

the unearthing of fossil forms, and
the great museums in this and other

"This prehistory of man is, of

Twenty-Five years ago a Dutch
army surgeon, Eugene Dubois, I'M

skull, two molar teeth and thigh
bone. The form reconstructed on
these fragments in so many ways
appropriated that of man as to make
it seem probable this ape-man was
at least collateral connection in the
long line of our ancestry. This crea-
ture is supposed to have flourished
some 100000 years ago, and may have
used a club or stone at need, or even
have begun rudely to chip stones to
his use.
The snail-like slowness of his prog

least 100000 years interviewed between
his era and that of the so-called Hell

fields and elsewhere throughout Cen

this Heidelberg man shows him to
have been a chinless being whose
primitive jaw must have made his
speech imperfect-one who can be
called human "only if the word is
used with a certain largeness," as

CABBAGE WAR BREAKS
FORTH in COLORADO

Denver, Aug. A cabbage war is
on In Colorado which involves more
than $500 carloads of that vegetable,
w. NJ Hood of Brighton, manager
of the Colorado Cabbage Exchange,
which has headquarters there said
today that war had been declared on
Ills organization by the Vegetable
Producers Cooperative association of
Colorado, which has It's headquarters
here.
The cabbage war. according to Hood,
has resulted from the difference In the
price paid for cabbage by the two or
sanizations. The Brighton orsaniza
tion is paying the growers s175 per
100 pounds. The Denver concern Is
paying $500 d hundredweight Mr..
Hood said the members of his organ
ization would rather pay Sis to
themselves for their cabbage than s. o0
because they realize they can sell
more and keep the crop moving. II
the members go two dollars. Mr.. Hood
said, they would expect the sales to
fall off and the profit to be no greater
and large part of the crop would be
left on hand.
Hood charges that the Denver con-
Germ is making an effort to put the
Brighton concern out of business and
get control of the market. This Mel
son denies AMI says he is after only
| a fair price.
