STILL GOVERNED BY INSTINCT
Unconscious Hereditary Actions Prove
Mankind's Descent From Count
less Ages OF Savage Ancestors.

Deep down somewhere In the inner
nature Of all men and women. the in
stincts, habits, and forces still remain,
which made up the life Of our primal
ancestors countless ages ago. We no.
tice this frequently In the unconscious
hereditary actions OF the lower an
lmals. Just as one instance. II Is very
common to see dog turn round sew
eral times before lying down on
hearthrug. as II preparing sleeping
place In some long grass; that act
has been quite unnecessary for many
long centuries. yet the domestlcated
and highly intelligent animal even now
retains this habit OF Its wild progeni-
tors. Ii is also more than probable
that the universal fOndness for throw
ing stones so Inherent In all boys is
another dormant memory handed down
from the far-away times Of the Stone
age. when our primeval forebears used
stones. either artiicially-shaped or 9TH
erwise, as weapons Of attack and de-
fense, or for killing small game for
food, etc. Girls never want to throw
stones, and II they try they are not
able to- do so with an effect. This.
think. proves that the women Of old
never acquired the art, and we get a
slight peep into their manner of life
by this one fact. The men, no doubt,
lid all the fighting and hunting for
food then, and II is the same today,
amongst all races, both civilized and
uncivilized. Some Of our simplest
daily habits date from the beginning

WHITE HOUSE FORCE
II HOPES. TO HOLD Jobs

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-(U. P.)-
Clerks, messengers and engineers in
| the executive offices OF the white
house feel secure in their jobs even
with the swift approach of March 4.
ThetF~total is 35. 22 of whom are
clerks, nine messengers and four en-
gineers, When George Christian,
President-elect Harding's secretary.

he inspected the offices and great was
the conversational stir upon his de-
parture. illfa
He's going to cut down the force

said one.
"All the democrats will be fired

But later the excitement died down
and old timers in the offices pointed
ou, the fact that few changes IN the.
personnel are made just because a new
president or new administration comes
in. For instance, when. President Will
son first assumed contrib Of the White
House there were only three changes.
OF course new secretary came In
and as Tafts stenographer also left.
Charles Sven was appointed. War
