DREAM OF YEARS
 COMES TRUE FOR CHINESE LAbORER
Celestial "Jim Hill" Now Con- troIs Great Eastern
 Railroad

SEATTLE, Wash, Juno 2.-(By As- sociated Press.)-Marches and clash ings of the opposing armies ins China have not disturbed the serenity of Chin Gee Hee. one time track laborer, laundryman and merchant in Seattle and now president of the Sun Ming railway. greatest in south China, say touch with the Chinese Jim Hill" Despite his 78 years, Chin Gee Hee remains actively at the head of the various enterprises which have earned for him the sobriquet King of South China" since his return to his native country from the Pacific coast in 1905.
 Dreamed of Railroad.
 The Sun Ming railway first in China to be constructed by Chinese capital independent of aid from any government, is the fruit of dream that came to Chin Gee Hee 60 years ago when, as a common laborer, he aided in the construction of branch line of the Southern Pacific in Cali fornia. Two years before he had be- gun life as laborer in the Cali fornia gold fields.
 CEin Gee Hee held to his vision. " the seventies he went north and. worked on the construction of the old Columbia and Puget Sound rail- way, now part or the Chicago, Mill waukee and St. Paul system. It was not long before he became a con- tractor in small way. using Chinese labor. and by the time the road was completed he had acquired some capi- tai.
 In the early eighties Chin Gee Hee established a small laundry here. branching out as a merchant in part nership with Chin Ching Hook. Fol- lowing this venture he founded the Gong Tuck company, mercantile es- Establishment still in business under 1 the direction of his nephew, Chin Keay.

 Ordered From City.
 The fire of 1899 which destroyed the business section of the city took Chin Gee Hees store along with the rest, but before the ruins were cold he had started the construction of the first brick building erected in Seattle after the fire. It still stands.
 During the antiChinese riots of 1886, Chin Gee Hee was ordered from the city by mob. but remained under the protection of a small group of residents.

HUMAN FEATURES
 RAP IDLY CHANGE
 GA YS SCIENTIST
We Do Not Use Our Brains Half Enough, Expert
 Declares

LONDON. June 2.-(By Associated Press.)-We do not use our brains to half their capacity, says Sir Arthur Keith, British scientist, who has just returned from the African jungle where he has made minute study of the brains of gorillas and gib- bons.
 Most of us," declares Sir Arthur, "have more brains than we know what to do with"
 The famous anthropologist said that changes are now taking place in the human world more rapidly than at any former period, but that the time has not yet come for the production of supermen. During stature for a man was 5 feet 6 inches, the same as in the neolithic period. Tho average for men lead ing professional lives Is feet s inches.
 The scientist says he Is convinced that certain characteristics, which are easily recognized in the bodies of large proportion of our modern population, are of recent origin. The most plastic bone in the human body he said, is that under the gums. In which the teeth are rooted. and 1t is here that the most marked changes are to be noted.
 Tn quite 3O per cent Of tho people this bone," continued Sir Arthur, "instead of spreading outward and giving the roof of the mouth a wide and low vault, as In the prehistoric races, grows in a vertical direction, giving the palate narrow and high arch.
 'In these contracted palates there is no longer room for tho normal number of teeth. Such as appear are crowded; the wisdom teeth often fail to cut or are absent altogether.
 "The recession of the teeth give the modern nose and chin an undue prominency; the tendency of all mod ern changes is toward the production of long and narrow faces. The 'adenod' type of face, with which medical men are so familiar in mods ern children. was unknown in pre- historic times."

his mind the project of an independ- ent railroad for China, and through the influence of Seattle friends at tracted the notice of James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern rail- road. MT. Hill advised him from his own experience and invited him to make trip as his guest over the principal lines of the United States. In 1905 Chin Gee Hee returned to China and shortly thereafter the con- struction of the Sun Ming railway was begun.
 Railway men have praised con- struction of the road-built without the aid of single foreigner-as one of the finest pieces of engineering work in the Orient.
 Decorated by the late Chinese Elm peror, Chin Gee Hee retained the con- fidnce of his country's leaders after the change in government. The road Is protected by a special guard of soldiers from the Canton army.

 Before Starting

A great many members of the Bir- mingham Automobile club are prepar- ing to make tours this month and are daily applying to the club for rout- ings which have been carefully for mulated and 1t would be well that all see that their membership cards are strictly up to date as on account of the great amount of construction work being done on various roads at the present time.
 It Is especially desirable to obtain local information from point to point where a membership card bearing the insignia of the A. A. A. is presented. Due to the fact that most of the states require two license tags the club Is furnishing It's members the following letter which has served heretofore very satisfactorily and saved considerable embarrassment to the motorist:
 To Whom It May Concerni

Dan Dlmick on account of the absence of the double plate.
