Will Man Burrow Underground

If YOU come back to earth 1000 from the

There is a new idea for you 1t comes from Professor
A. NJ Low brilliant young inventor who had charge
Of British wireless control work during the war.
ILLS prediction does not bizarre and impossible
after YOU follow the he 1t out For instance
Our remote ancestors far back in the mists Of time
must have had the strength and endurance of goras
Otherwise they would have lost out in the eternal strug
gle for existence Steadily the human race grows
weaker.
II we were suddenly thrust into the rough of life
that our ancestors lived thousands of years ago. would
die of cold and exposure for physical powers of
sstance are infinitely weaker than were theirs.
Says Low: Eve human beings are growing weaker
every day. Our teeth growing worse, eyes are
failing our limbs are more delicate. We need parasols
to keep off the sum- umbrellas to keep off the rain.
as it Illogical then to suppose that In time TO come
we shall be unable to bear the slight hardships to
which we are subjected? think not.
AOur eyes will be too weak to stand the light of day.
And shall burrow underground and only come to the
surface with special precautions"
It is almost pathetic to watch the extremes of toll to
which in sedenary occupations resort to keep their
bodies functonng healthily. Physical exercise is
sorted to antdoe to counterfeit the weakness that
inevitably is resulting from living unnatural lives.
Riding in autos and street and elevators, If per-

And eventually by the laws of evolution, legs seldom
used will practically shrivel up and vanish
Millions of still toll farms and in mills and fac

into by the unnatural life of little physical activity?

GERMAN AND RUSSIAN
 GENOA DELEGATES UNHAPPY

Genoa, April 12.-(By The A. P.)- Chancellor Wirth is returning to Ger many within a few days, disappointed and gloomy about the conference" ac- cording to the report current in confer ence circles tonight This decision is said to be due to apprehension over the political situation in Germany The in- pression here is that Germany will be unable to pay rne reparations due in July.
 The German delegation appears to be about as unhappy as the Russian dele gates over the London experts report on the plan for the reconstruction of Russia, and contend that is highly dis crlminatory against Germany.
 The report recommends that all fac eigners in 1917 shall be restored to them. German factory properties in Russia were not held bye the Germans, but were in the hands of the Russian government. at that time; consequently the Germans would not be allowed to recover them under the report, if adopted as it stands. Nor would Russia be allowed to calm reparations from other countries, but would be permitted to collect from Ger many, thus increasing Germany's bur den.
 The bolshevik delegation. upon a furtf- CT reading of the London experts report, arc apparently more dissatisfied than ever with it. One prominent Russian de- clared: Tt 0arries oaptulations and tyTanical domination over finances"

the navy enough men to maintain the treaty ratio" he declared.
 There was a constant squabble over the enlisted strength of the British and Japanese navies, the statement being re- peatedly made and denied that their fig ures were greater than~those allotted the American navy under the bill Repre- sentative Rogers, republican, Massachu- setts, intmated that the committee had obtained it's estimates from the British embassy here.
 Asked by MT. Rogers if he had been "ln direct personal contact with the Brit ish and Japanese embassies" Chairman Kelley said he would refuse to answer any such question.
 The measure will be taken up tomor- row for consideration, item by item, and if there is smooth sailing and not too much fve-minute debate vote on amendments to the personnel section may be reached late in the day. The first vote will be on the proposal to make the total Se,000, unless somebody steps in with move to split the, difference between that total and the committee figure of 65,OOe.
 MT McArthur said tonight 194 mem- hers had given a pledge to support his amendment. Telegrams have been sent, 1t was said, to members from eastern states absent from Washington to return at once in anticipation of an early vote. Representative Ware, republican, Penn sylvania, who signed the minority re. port. is trying to arrange a meeting early tomorrow of the Pennsylvania del egation in the hope of obtaining a solid state vote for the increase.

FEvERIsHLY ACTIVE DAY
 ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE


 New York, April 12.-Transactions in stocks aggregating. 1.65O,OOO shares on an unusually diversified turnover and bond safes of s32.53S,000 par value tell the story of another feverishly active day on the stock exchange.
 In the stock market the extensive trad ing was accompanied by extreme gains of one to five points in many of the specu- lative industrials and unclassified issues rails making an indifferent showing.
 In the bond list the outstanding fea- ture was the Liberty group, virtually all the series establishing maximums at par or better Individual sales of these bonds included two blocks of Sl,0O0.OOO
 The 1-2s, which are exempt from taxation, rose to 100.06, but the demaiid was greatest in the second third and fourth lis. which always have been favored by reason of their interest yield
 Factors contributing to the days bull lsh sentiment included lower money rates. expansion of industrial activity and more confident feeling in business circles, as suggested by the extra divi- dents declared by Woolworth and Gillette Razor directors
 The coal strike threatened to become a more adverse influence, however. and selling of foreign oils in the latter part uf the market session was precipitated by reports of acute differences between the Mexican government and American inter tsls regarding export taxes.
