covery of other fossils that the former
existance of this race was generally
accepted.
Through Neanderthal remains have
been discovered at the very edge of
northern Africa. notably in Gibraltar
and Malta, there has been no general
tendency to look upon Africa as the
source of that people. The skulls and
bones recently discovered in northern
Rhodesia, however, are believed to be
of the general Neanderthal type and
their discovery opens up the possibility
that it was from Africa that Europe 8
Neanderthal horde came. The Broken
Hill Skull as the African fossil is
called, is in some ways more primitive
than the European Neanderthal skulls
though 1t is believed to be more re-
cent. These facts give added weight
to the belief that the skull recently
found was nearer than the European
fossils to the original point of dis
semination of the Neanderthal men.

CHECKING RUBBISH soArrERERs.

what the majority would have quickly

when there are repeated instances Of
such lack Of thought, even when the bad
example Of those who have gone before
IS still visible, that those who are hav-

THE AUroMoBILE swINDLE.

Revelations which come from the me-
tropolis to the effect that automobile
owners have been engaged in huge
swindle of insurance companies BY hir-
Ing chauffeurs or others to drive their
machines away hide them until the in
surance could be collected and then sell
them after taking them to other states
creates no surprise. Perhaps the great
est surprise in connection with it is that
the scheme has been brought to light In
view Of the fact that certain of the New
York police seem to be involved to a
certain degree in the extensive swihdle
Some months ago when automobiles
were disappearing right and left, and
when 1t was disclosed where they were
being run into the river to get them out
of sight there was reason for believing
that those who were anxious to get rich
quick, to share in the same picking that
those who were actually stealing ma
chimes were doing were involved in a gi-
gantic plan to defraud
1t has taken some little time to get at
the bottom of it burt If what is claimed
in the report from New York Is true
there is greater reason than ever for
surrounding the sale Of used cars with
more stringent regulations.
1t is not to be inferred that all who
deal in or have used cars to dispose Of
are involved in any way in crooked bus
| mess. Far from it, but in view of tbs
wholesale manner In which cars are be
ing stolen and turned into the second
hand trade. whether the owners are In
volved in the plan or not, 1t becomes ev
dent that the public and those enga get
| in legitimate business are entitled Il
! greater protection and that can be in
sured both by the exercise of create
vigilance in checking the thefts and pun
ishIng those guilty and by lettering TIL
regulations concerning the sale of use,
cars.
For all those who have had a know
ing part in this conspiracy to defrau
there should be no leniency,' but in tn
interest of putting a stop to the practic
an example should be made of those VIII
have been the guiding spirits. Let Their
be stop put to 1t rather than just
temporary checking Of the activity.

FAMOUS TRIALS
GREAT LIFE INSURANCE CASE

One of the most remarkable life in
surance trials In this country was that
which developed through the deception
and murder of W. S. Goss, in 1872. On
the evening of Feb. 2, of that year,
Mr.. Goss was experimenting in house
a short distance from Baltimore in
an effort to produce an article to sup
ply the place of India rubber. AS he
never worked at night he had no light
ing focilities in his shop, and request
ed his friend Undertook to go to a
house near by and secure an oil lamp.
He did so, and upon his return he
found the house consumed and, as he
claimed, Goss' body with it.
Goss worked secretly and with
acids and the general opinion was that
it was an accident; and the coroner S
jury returned such a verdict. Goss
was heavily insured and demand was
made upon the companies shortly af-
ter his death by Mrs. Goss to col
lect payment This was refused on ac-
count of discrepancies in the policies
as to occupation and age. The wife
thereupon brought suit in Baltimore
on August 10, 1872, but the litigation
was transferred to the Circuit Court
Of the United States.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
DID AFRICA PEOPLE PREHISTORIC
EUROPE

Inc recent discovery IN cave IN
Northern Rhodesia of a human skull
apparently many thousands of years
old seems to put Africa on the map
for the first time as the probable field
of development for men who played
an important part in the life of pre-
historic Europe. Where the most i'm
portant old human skulls have been
discovered heretofore and what their
locations seem to indicate is told in
the following bulletin from the Wash
ington, D. c., headquarters of the Ma
tionaI Geographic Society.
Europe has long been recognized as
merely the stage on which late acts of
the great drama of the development
! of man and his civilization have been
played, says the bulletin None of
the races that has lived in Europe
| during the long period of mans life on
| the earth is believed to have originat-
| ed there. Hitherto all evidence pointed
to Asia as the source of the succeed
ing waves of human immigrants as it
was the source, at least proximately,
of the thousands of horses. deer and
! cattle that swarmed into the country
during interglacial periods.
Races had come across the land
bridges from Africa, but for the most
part they had merely used northern
Africa as path, coming from Arabia
or farther Asia The one exception
known known was the strange appear
ance along the southern fringe of Eu-
rope at one time of race akin to
the negro pygmies of persent- day cen
trail Africa. But these small negroids
were an unimportant factor and soon
vanished.
so far as Europe is concerned, the
Heidelberg men were the earliest
known inhabitants. A single iaw-bont
discovered in Germany represents the
Pdata from which conclusions have beer
drawn in regard to this race which i,
supposed to have lived some 200 .00t
5 years ago. They are classed as the frs

Denaturixins Anger


Whether it would have proved
greater boon to mankind than he has
conferred, Is a matter of opinion. but
there is no doubt that it would have
been "a boon if Mr.. volstead had de-
natured anger.
Always remembering the fact that
person incapable of feeling anger
would be considerable of a mollusc,
there is no denying the fact that on
the whole we can all profit more by
denaturing our anger than by stimulat-
ing it.
There are two things to do with an
ger when you feel 1t sufging within
you.
Any characterologist will tell you
that there Is an intimate connection
between physical attitude and bearing
and the state of the mind. and that
the influences of this connection work
both ways. Ordinarily the physical at
titude. We all know that the angry
man clenches his fists and becomes
tense through his whole physical be-
ing. What many of us fail to realize
| Is that We can actually cultivate feel
Ing of anger by deliberately tensine
ourselves this way, and what Is more
/ important. neutralize anger to large
extent by physical relaxation.
| Try 1t some times when you are an
| cry. It's an interesting experiment
! With sudden snap of your will jus
let all your muscles and feelings re.
lax. The result will seem miraculous
to you, if you accomplish it. Once yo,
| get those muscles and feelings relax
| ed and limp you simply can't be an
| cry until you tense them again.
But If you haven't than much vii
power, if you're willing to admit t
yourself such a weakness of character
then there's another method. but on
far less perfect. Just blow off steam
Talk your head off about your griev
ance and before long you'll find you
irritation has evaporated There ar
occasions even when this Is the bet
ter, but it certainly does not tend t
raise peoples opinions of you, an
when practiced in the presence of 9th
ers who are as emotional as yoursel
it is likely to intensity the quarrel an
so defeat the end.
The one thing that must not be don
with anger is,to let it become ingrow
ing. Anger is explosive. To pen it u
is to make it corrosive, and it will d
more harm to you to nurse a crouch
than anything else. If there's no othe
way of getting it out of your systeI
hunt up the cat and kick it, Your sub
. sequent feeling of shame will do yo
more good than nursing a crouch.
