1895 as "the oldest man" geologically
and anthropologically, is an impostor.
Various missing links" have been dis
covered from time to time, and every
time such a discovery is made few
hundred thousands years are added to
mans antiquity.
For a long time undisputed title to
the distinction was held by the Cromag-
non man, whose remains were unearthed
in France. Old Croma is supposed to
have lived and had his bee-ing about
100000 years ago. He, too, got stung.
For some inquisitive scientists came
along and discovered that he was a
mere child; they found, in Prussia, the
Neanderthal man, who, they said, IN
habited a limestone house some 20O,-
600 years ago. Then came poor Pithy' S
turn; 100000 years old, he had good
chance of cinching the title for keeps.
But alas and alack! After twenty-eight
years of fame he must hand over his
patriarchal beard to the nondescript
creature that lies grinning at an ignor-
ant settler, its owner, in the backwoods
of Patagonia:
Nor is there any assurance that this
discovery will end the search for "the
first man." anthropologically speaking.
The process of adding to mans an
tiquity has been going on so long that
it may never stop. The scientists seem
to be getting lot of enjoyment out of
it. But why can't they invent some
means of hurrying up evolution, SO that
prcsent-day taxpayers would get some
benefit from all their learning?

4 HANDICAP TO BUSINESS

A condition to which, in principle,
THE LIGHT invited attention more than
a wear ago is described in the recently
published annual report of the Federal
Reserve Board. 1t is a condition that
is no less adverse now than it was then
TO those sections OF the country in which
it exists.
ut is noteworthy" the board says i'll
its report, that the rates charged by
banks in the small cities and towns OF
agricultural districts OF the West and
South are practically on the same level
as they were a year ago. This IS
doubtless due to the fact that in those
sections it is the custom for banks to
charge a given rate OF interest, usually
ranging from s to 10 per cent the year
around without regard to discount rates
in effect at the Federal Reserve Banks.
In other words, banks in small towns
and cities OF the West and South have
not been lowering their interest rates
to correspond with the reductions al
lowed them in the redscount rates.
Borrowers have not been given the full
benefit of general conditions making for
cheaper money" They may have
found credit easier" but the high cost
OF borrowing has not been reduced.
If the Federal Reserve system is to
perform for the country at large the
maximum service OF which such body
could be capable, it may have to be
given the authority to require its men,
bers to pass on to their customers every
advantage in the form of rates which it
confers upon them. Is there any good
reason why a member bank, rather than
the public, should profit directly by
reason of the reserve SYSTEMS existence?
The popular idea is that the system
was created primarily for the benefit OF
the people; that its principal function
was to insure financial stability, not OF
the banks alone but OF business interests
generally; that an indispensable means
toward that larger end is to make the
country's money supply as thoroughly
liquid as possible, and that this can be
done only by making money actually
easier for the people to get.
But if the Federal Reserve Board
makes it easier for member banks to
get money, by lowering the rediscount
rate charged them, and those member
banks do not pass this opportunity on
to their respective customers, the liquefy-
ing process so greatly desired is checked
before it has got more than half started.

COMRADES.

Where are the friends that knew in nv Marinr
roaming?
We were dear; we were leal; O. far we went
straying;
Now never heart to my heart comes homing,-
Where is he now, the dark boy slender
VINO taught me bareback, strrup and reins?
loved him; he loved me- my beautiful tender
Iamer of horses grass-grown plpns
Where is he now whose eyes swan brighter
Softer than love, in his turbulent charms:
VINO taught me to strike, and to fall, dear fighter
=. AND sathered me up in his boyhood arms;
Taught me the rifle, and with me went riding
supplied my limbs to the horsemans war;
Where is he now. for whom my hearts biding,
Biding, bding-but he rides far?
o love that passes the love of woman
Who that hath felt it shall ever forget.
When the breath of life with a throb turns human
And lads heart is to lads heart set?
Ever, forever, lover and rover
They shall cling. nor each from other shall part
Till the reign Of the stars in the heavens be over
And life is dust in each faithful heart -
They are dead, the American grasses under;
There is no one now who presses my side
By the African chotts I am riding asi,nder,
And with great joy ride the last great ride.
/ am fey am fan of sudden dying:
Thousands of miles there is no one near.
And my benrt--all the night it is crying crying
In the bosom of dead lads darlins-dear.
Hearts of my music-them dark earth covers;
Comrades to die, and to die for, were they -
In the width Of the world there were no such
rovers-
Back to luck, breast to breast, it WAS ours TO
stay:
And the highest on earth was the vow that we
cherished,
To spur forth from the crowd and come baci;
never more,
And to ride in the track of great souls persisted
Till the nests Of the lark shall roof us DER.
Yet fingers horseman on Altai highlands,
Who hath joy of me- riding the Tartar glissade
And one, far faring DER orient islanns
Whose blood yet glints with my blades acco

North, west, east, I fling you my last haooing
Last love TO the breasts where my own has bled
Through the reach of the desert my soul leaps pur

Those Nervous Ills
By III. Addington Bruce.

1t is a sound principle which that
eminent English neurologist, DE-. T.
F. Buzzard, lays down when he de-
clares, as he did in an address to a
body of physicians:
Among the weeds that have chokeu
the plant of mental hygiene, the
strongest and most obnoxious is one
that was sown in ignorance and that
has been nourished on fear.
Il refer to the fallacious belel,
deeply implanted in the public mind,
that so-called functional nervous dis-
orders, or nerves, are not mental DIS
orders. Surely the time has come to
discard a verbal. bubble. that is I'M
worthy of scientific profession" :,
OF course, the reason this verbal
bubble" has not been discarded long
since is popular misidentification oil
mental disorders in general with IN
sanity in particular, ....
Doctors have hesitated to tell psy-
choneurotic patients that their aches
and pains, their insomnias and dys-
pepsias are at bottom symptoms oil
mental trouble, because they are well
aware that the patients might jump TO
the conclusion that the doctors thought
them insane or on the highway to in
sanity. This would only make. bad
matter worse-would, in fact. make
the patients more psychoneurotic than
ever.
Yet it might readily be made clear
to them that by mental trouble
was meant in their case merely
faulty mental habit the correction OF
which was within their own power
and was prerequisite TO obtaining
relief from the symptoms of which
they complained. Once they were
satisfied that their sanity was not in
question, the way would be open for
the corrective mental treatment they
most of all need.
Take, for example. the case OF
person afflicted with psychoneurotic
inability TO sleep.
Here the underlying cause usually
is a conscious or sub-consciOus fixed
idear that sleep is impossible. So
long as this fixed idea persists treat
ment OF the insomnia by any means
is pretty sure to be unsatisfactory.
Certainly it will not do simply to
tell the patient that he is nervous,
and to prescribe sedatives for him.
There is needed a frank. il tactful,
explanation of the mental factor in
volved-an explanation which may of
itself suffice to overcome the chronic
sleeplessness.
So with other mentally caused con-
ditions- enormously labelled nervous
disorders" Once patients and the
public generally are educated to recog-
nize their real origin, and TO recog-
nize it without falling into a needless
panic, not only will treatment be
more successful but there will be less
and less necessity for treatment.
Physicians are of all people in
the best position to undertake such
education. In the interest both of
curative and of preventive medicine
they should undertake it.

PROGRESS IN EDUCATION

A dispatch from New York reports that
"a good many banks and other business
institutions in recent years have brought
into service economic experts from the
universities for advice and conference
and TO prepare the periodical reports
OF business and financial conditions pub
lished by these institutions" This is
a development indicative of real prog

NEW OLD ANCESTORS FOR MAN

Problem: If there are 100000 wears
between Pithecanthropus Ercctus and
the creature whose fosslized skull was
found in Patagonia recently by DR.. !. G..
Wolf OF the La Plata Museum, how long
will it take some bipeds OF the present
bge to evolve a modicum of intelligence:
DR.. VOLTS report may be expected to
provoke no end OF chattering in the trees
at Austin. Apparently some OF the
legislators have an aversion for the
arboreal environment; they want TO cut
down all the pollen-bearing cedar trees
for miles around the state capital for
the benefit of few people who arc
subject to hay fever. Evolutionary
speaking, the lawmakers are getting on.
They may still think that Paderewski
is Russian baritone, but they want
to destroy all evidence of their origin
including not only trees, but also scien-
tific works on the antiquity of man.
This is the best proof obtainable that
they are beginning to feel within them
the first faint STRINGS of human traits.
Vanity is one of mans oldest qualities.

are tending more and more toward the
practical, they have never been quite
so useless as some people have assumed.
A school may teach the practical, and
yet gain the reputation of teaching only
theories. For the world is prone to
think that the methods to which it is
accustomed are the best ones. Besides,
to the popular mind the term "theorcti-
cal connotes unavoidable" and some
times even false"
Universities have had to put forth
extra effort to overcome the prejudice
in which they are held by many people
"a prejudice which is due not only to
the fact that such people do not know
what is actually taught in schools of
higher education. but also to the ancient
tendency of universities to delve into
distractions which the average person
could not understand and to avoid SUBJ
jects pertaining to work-a-day affairs
Those were the days when only the sons
Of aristocratic families-young men who
would never have to work for a living,
or thought they wouldnt-formed the
classes of the philosophers.
Nowadays the university which does
not help its students to become useful
citizens is not entitled to the name.
1t is doubtful if such an institution could
be found anywhere in the United States.
The typical university of today under
takes to prepare students for recognized
vocations. Although they are not called
Vocational Schools" they might prop
erly be so designated in so far as they
give instruction in such fields as engi-
neering geology, mining, architecture,
medicine, law and so on. .-.
However. business administration" is
a comparatively new field for the uni
versities. But it is not new in the
broadcast sense. The groundwork OF
some of the greatest enterprises in the
business world was laid by students of
economies long before such enterprises
become recognizable for what they are,
or even before they were conceived
And the universities have ever been
the sources Of information on economic
subjects. In the earliest days they gath
cred data, and thus principles were dis
covered
There is no warrant for saying that
to become great business man one
must get a university education. But
it is certainly true that one who ignores
the principles in which the universities
give instruction is counting failure. One
may learn those principles by hard ex-
perience. If he learns them in uni
versity, he is just that much ahead OF
the game. He may have to learn some
things by hard experience, but his uni
versity education will save him many
long steps.
If the universities could not supply
experts for the business world they
would need inquiring into. Enough
money is spent upon them to make logi-
cal the assumption that they could per-
form we'll any worthy task they might
undertake. the task could be per-

PUZZLE: FIND THE TROPICS"

Man originated in the tropics" says
a writer in the Worlds Work; probably
in the humid tropics, under a forest
cover" That is according to Hoyle,"
scientifically. But something is lacking.
The quoted sentence picks the magma
ton up and sets it down on certain
part OF the map; now were III tho
tropics" and can almost pick out the
grove OF trees in which man took his
first setting-up exercises before starting
out on the long march into the teeth
of the four winds.
But where were-or was il YOU
please-"the tropics? There's hand
up over there; its owner is longitude
latitude SHARK Business of locating
the tropics'). Yes. but that's old stuff.
Science has done bit OF travelling since
yesterdays biographies were published.
Of course the equator still splits the
torrid zone into equal parts, and the
tropics" have not moved appreciably
during the present generation. Too,
natives of the African idngles are still
living on fruits and herbs and nuts.
But who knows that "thc tropics" Of
today were "the tropics OF a million
years ago?
If this sounds like "foolishment,"
blame the scientists. Blame, in par
ticular, DR.. ]. G. Wolf who, in an
nouncing the discovery OF the fossilized
skull of a human-like crcature-yes, an
other one-caused another scientist to
let fall a few words that may shake
the faith OF some students of geography,
unless his remarks are explained.
The Various zones of temperature into
which the earth's surface is divided seem
to be fairly stationary. But DR.. Franz
Boas, anthropologist at Columbia Uni
versity, has few words to say on the
subject Readers who have a few mo-
ments to spare might do worse than
give ear to this scientist But he adj
vances no new theory when he speaks
OF the great glacial period of the North
ern Hemisphere. 1t was then that many
of the creatures now to be seen only in
reconstructed form were swept out of
existence. The glacial period, it seems,
brought to close the Tertiary age,
in which the earth assumed approx
mately its present physical aspect. Con-
tinents and oceans were formed. and
ste5dy biological growth set in. But
imagine glaciers crawling over what are
now temperate regions and showing OH
toward "the tropics What became OF
the tropics:
A few days ago it was reported that
mcteorologists OF the United States
Weather Bureau were bit nonplussed
! by the increasing warmth and GOODNESS
respectively, of certain areas which had
been under their observation for many
years. Imagine their pcrplexity if tho
average temperature of the entire coun-
try should suddenly undergo a radical
change. If there were any meteorolo
gists during the exodus OF the print
tive men who, according TO some an
thropologists, were driven ont OF thu
Malay Peninsula by glacial movemen
such as that described by DIR. Boas, they
must have fallen into evil repute fol
