DR.. Hrdlicka brought back to the

peal for more interest in prehistoric
anthropology on the part Of American
scientists, lest the trail beyond rec
ords be lost again.
"The work In the past" he said,

amateurs. They have accomplished
much. But great many of the
younger men were killed during the
war. Others were so Impoverished
that they cannot continue the work.
The German universities, in particular,

kinship of the Piltsdown. Java and
Heidelberg men to the race Of today
is open to dispute. They were, be-

the apes and bore some remarkable
human characteristics. But the Mean

which produced Shakespeare and Ma

Between him and the Heidelberg

He came In the period Of the last Ice

race had advanced in culture during
the interval. The Neanderthal man

the actual size of his brain was about

were cannibals. They are broken and
seem charred by fire-evidently dis
