Origin of Man
Cause of Wars?

Is the end Of war at hand or will
the tribes of humanity continue to
fight each other until the race Is de-
stroyed?
Science begs the question. It all
depends, says DR.. Karl Pearson, fell
low Of the Royal Society of Great
Britain, in a paper prepared for the
Smithsonian Institute here, on
whether mans first ancestor was a
near relative Of flthe gibbon or of the
chimpanzee. If the latter, DR.. Pear
son holds, there is little prospect that
wars will end until many generations
more have passed. and then only IL
the chimpanzee strain can be bred
out of man. for the troglodyte tribe
have fighting in the blood and never
can be satisfied long without killing
each other.
II, on the other hand. the first man
was something like a gibbon, the
probability Is that wars are due
purely to economic reasons and cam
be done away with by improving livS
ing conditions and placing trade rivalry,
on another basis.
Then there Is the possibility that

like creature and others from tho

an effort to "double-cross" him with the dry
element of the democratic party and the pro-
hibition farmers and dry agricultural states!
This question is understood to be worry
ing the boomers. who alleged to be seek
ing to sandbag the leaders of the democratic
party into accepting Mr.. Ford as the nominee
OF the regular democratic party, AS the sub
ject is broached, they shudder at the frown
ing yisage of William Jennings Bryan, who
can sniff a beer-odor on a suggested
candidate further than any man alive.
They also have in mind the recent sad ex-
perience of Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New
York when his wet candidacy was proposed
to middle-west leader Tom Taggart and dry
south leader Senator McKcilar.
Suppose Henry Ford should decide to run
as an independent candidate on light wine
and beer plank; on his popularity with labor,
seeking votes among the teeming millions
of the industrial regions and cities?
That would give\the politicians in both
the old parties something to worry about, it
is suggested. The best judgment among
politicians is that neither of the old parties
will dare take up the near-wet cause, and that
if it is espoused by any one running for the
presidency he Will have to be an independent
with plenty of nerve, resources and courage
to stake his all upon one throw for the prize.
Democratic politicians are described as
holding the view that William ]. Bryan is
going to be mighty hard to suit with any
candidate" and they are looking forward to
having lot OF trouble with him in the con-
>vention. They say it would seem only neees-
sary for Mr.. Bryan to rise in his seat and cry
"NNall street" to scatter lot of delegates
like bunch of chickens at the lowering of
hawk.
With that two-thirds rule always at hand
to be invoked, they realize he possesses
powerful lever for overturning any one to
whom he may find objection. But they feel
they are not likely to get rid of either Mr..
Bryan or the rule. They are not very cheer

Flour Now Made
Of'Hunnble Herring

Flours OF many varieties have been
marketed from time to time, but it
remained for the Scandinavians to
eral Letcher at Copenhagen reports
The catches of herring have reached
such proportions that enormous sur
pluses have been left over after the
demands Of the market for salt her
ring have been filled.
Some means Of disposing of this
surplus was needed and experts
! worked out a method OF powdering
the fish and producing a Strength
food highly priced by the natives.
1t Is very rich in fats and proteins,
reaching a percentage Of about 70 OF
these two essentials combined. Fac
tories have been erected for the manu-
| facture of herring flour.
Caught on Iceland.
The fish are caught largely off the
coast Of Iceland, and in the summer
months the size of the catch seems
only limited by the abilities Of the
fishermen to throw over their nets
and drag them in.
Incidentally. herring flour has ere
ated a market in another country for
an entirely different purpose. Japan.
famed for its beautiful gardens and
wonderful flowers, has found that
herring flour makes the finest Of fer
tilizers and great quantities are i'm
ported for this purpose.
A still further use has been found
for the surplus herring. A process
has been perfected for squeezing out
the oils of the fish, which, upon being
! hardened" become odorless and
tasteless, and are used as a basis for
margarine production. Unlike other
butter substitutes. the oil of the fish
is so rich in body building properties
that the objection of undernutrition
by the use of the substitute can
hardly be supported.
The two products, herring -four and
the margarine are producing a grow
| ins demand in Europe where concen-
traiton of food values seems of great
er Importance than in America. Re-
search is still going on to work out
further uses for the fish as from
past experience. they may be caught

Needs of the Nation, Not Politics,
President Coolidge's Chief Concern

"The best friend of any Chief Executive,
in his official family or out of it, is he who
tells him the truth about conditions"
Politicians were much interested in the
course of Secretary Work of the Department
OF the Interior in pronouncing for his re-
nomination. The Secretary of the Interior
is the first member of the cabinet to come
out openly for his denomination. DR.. Work
was a close friend and devoted admirer of
President Harding. In a letter to political
associate in Denver he wrote of President
Coolidge:
"He has inherited the Harding organization
and policies, and logically should be support
ed for the nomination precisely as his pre-
decessor would have been had he lived. Per-
haps no man in the United States is swell
qualified by temperament and experience for
the duties of the presidency on short notice
as President. Coolidge"
Secretary Work went on to point out that
che has been closer to the President than
any previous Vice President, and is as init
mately advised of our foreign and domestic
relations; and the procedure and hopes of
President Harding as members of the cabi-
net, with whom he sat for two years"

NEW UeSISIleO pTONIue
~ for greater efficiency in the
~ operation of the United States
Shipping Board vessels and to
make it possible eventually to have
them transferred to private owner
ship and operation. is to be put into ef-
feet provided President Calvin
Coolidge approves.
The plan has been laid before
President Coolidge by Chairman Ed
ward P. Farley. 1t contemplates the
establishment of from twelve to
eighteen subsidiary corporations.
located in American ports. whose bus
mess shall be the operation of the
government owned ships. The govern
ment will own all the stock of these
corporations and will name the
directors.
Each of these corporations will
have control and ownership of the
vessels assigned to 1t, and will own
and control all the terminal facilities
which 1t uses. Each will be complete.
in that the business and good will
attached to the lines 1t operates Will
Dc part pdlSGl VI tlIc dSStlS VI
the corporation.
Old Contracts to Disappear.
The old manager-operator contracts
under which the shipping board ves-
sells have been and are being operated
will go by the board.
The question not unnaturally arises:
Is the government going in for direct
government operation Of the Shipping
Board vessels in its new venture?
In the first place, there has never
been anything but government opera
tion of the Shipping Board vessels. 1t
has gone by the name OF the manager
agent system. But the word of the gov
ernment has been law under these con-
tracts. The government has paid all
the losses and has allowed the mana .
ger-agent or operator certain per-
centage-5 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts on outward-bound freight, ex-
cept bulk cargoes. on which the rate is
2E per cent. and 2Is per cent on in
bound freight.
Now the proposal is that the ships
shall be operated by subsidiary cor
porations. The government Will con-
tinue to pay such losses as there may
be.-though it is believed that these
losses under the new plan will be
constantly reduced. But the govern
ment on the other hand will hot be
paying any percentage of it's receipts
on its shipping business to manager
agents. Under the existing plan the
manager-agents have the terminal
facilities, they have the business and
the good Will that goes:with 1t, al
though the governments money has
been used to acquire these assets.
VIII Meet Desired Ends.
Under the Law, the Shipping Board
is directed to do all In It's power to
bring about the private ownership
and operation of the vessels now
owned and operated by the govern
ment. The new policy advanced, 1t
is contended. will go far toward
bringing such results.
In the first place, when the govern
ment next begins to look for a
purchaser for the vessels-or a
purchaser tackles the government
with proposition to buy-the
government will have something to
sell. It will have a going concern.

Special Correspondence.

Woodruff, Wis.-Vilas county,
in the heart of the Northern
Wisconsin resort district, claims
to have the hardest man in
the United States. 1t is Jehile
Blink, who lives on Lake St.
German three miles west of
the "four-mile road" and one mile
south of the two-mile road"
Last summer Farmer Blink
a lot of geranium seeds with
which to beautify his garden, but
his effort to raise them proved, as
on previous occasions, unsuccess-
full. But the other day when Mr..
Blink was cutting ice on Lake st.
German, with the thermometer
at fifty degrees below zero, the
realization suddenly came to him
that there was a slight draught
IN the region of his feet. Glanc-
ing down in his customary non
chalant manner, he saw, not only
that the sole of his shoe had come
off, but also that the socks which
he had put on last fall had reach
ed stage in their development
where they looked more like leg
gins than socks. Beyond wonder
ing whether the socks would last
him until spring, Blink, with the
customary hardihood for which
he has long been famous, gave no
further thought to the matter
but went on cutting ice until
nightfall. That night, however. as
he was driving home, he noticed
that one of the geranium seeds

What Mail Order Houses Do

Discussing the growth of the
mail order business, the Wall
Street Journal says:
1t will interest local merchants
to know that large mail order
houses have forces of girls whose
duty is to examine country news
papers and report on the local adj
vertising they carry.
In towns where local merchants
are poor advertisers the mail or
der man concentrates his fire. He
avoids the town where the local
merchants are sufficiently astute
to keep the trade at home.
Mail order competition never
need be serious if the local mer-
chant is alive to his opportunity.
Not long ago in the Middle West
one enterprising merchant facing
this mail order difficulty bought
certain articles from a mail or
der concern and displayed them in
his store alongside similar articles
he himself handled, and he soon
proved to his public that they
saved money by shopping at home.
