Prupinquity, according to Mary Smith

THE REFEREE

Have scientists finally found the Miss.
ing Link. long sought as the connection
between man and monkey in evolution?
A tooth that belonged to primi-
tive creature-neither man nor ape, but
halfway between the two-is dug up
near Agate. Nebraska, by geologist
The tooth, a scientific sensation, is
said to be accepted by DR.. Henry Fair
field Osborn, OF the American Museum
of Natural History, as proof that man
ascended from the ape.
1t is more logical TO believe that the
ape descended from man. A few Of
the lowest types of primitive man might
very easily have strayed away from
home become lost in the fern 1ungles,
and degenerated into monkeys.

party now is quiet and reflective.
The bright schoolboy has matured
into a mediocrity. The Ounce has
evolved into success.
How do YOU explain all thisf
Some philosopher has said that
nothing is eternal except change.
In physiology, you were taught
that the human skin changes entir-
ely every seven years-that a new
skin is formed in that period, as
old cells die and are replaced by
new ones.
There is an even more startling
change in the real being. the inner
self-character, temperament, spiri-
tual nature and philosophy or in
tellect.
You go back to former friends,
pastimes and environments-and
are disillusioned. The old-time
glamour is gone. You ponder,
Things that used to appeal to me
bore me now."
If you follow up this line OF rea-
soning, you come to the rather un-
canny decision that you are an en-
tirely different being from what
you were years ago.
Fortunate for us, that we have
this constant change. 1t is what
enables good to overcome evil. 1t
leads failure into success. 1t per-
mits us to develop our strength TO
overcome obstacles.
The possibilities of the human
being are unlimited. The inner
self is as plastic as putty, forever
changing.
But there is no such thing as
standing still. Every instant, we
are either progressing or deteriorat-
ing-physically, mentally and spiri-
tually.
Human nature DOES change.

YOUR IMAGINATION

The prehistoric monster, reported
prowling in the Patagonan swamps,
is described as not more than ~
feet long, with lengthy neck and
tail on an elephant-sized body.
If captured, many would pay S.
TO see it. The financial possbili-
ties are enough to bring P. 7. Bar
mum and Tody Hamilton, his
master press agent, back from the
dead.
The blue whale, largest creature
on earth, is 90 feet long and
weighs Is tons at maturity. 1t is
several times as large as the Pata-
gonian monster, yet few would pay
10 cents to see it in the ocean
where it exists by thousands.
From this. learn that life is
borssome, that people are inter-
ssted in the unusual, the exception
al.
Offer people something they
haven't got, or do the old thing in
a unique way, and you can name
