Science

The recent death of DIR. Albert
Abrams has revived discussion of his
methods in certain scientific circles
and has caused much speculation as
to whether the Abrams method will
survive or die.
DR.. Abrams gave the medical pro-
fession its biggest thrill of the last
twenty years. For a time he nearly
stampeded the doctors into his camp,
with his strange new methods, of treat
ment and diagnosis of Diseases. In
a short time, however, because Of his
failure or inability to comply with
the terms of scientific Investigations,
most of the profession abandoned
him. He had, however, and his meth
cd still has, a considerable number
of doctors, who became his followers
and who practice according to his sys-
tenn.
The Abrams method claims to dag
nose the case of any person from a
blood specimen of that person, or even
from that persons handwriting. 1t
even claims to determine the diseases
that may develop in that person
in the future and which are now pres
ent in an incipient stage impossible
of detection by methods known to or
binary medical practice.

FORMS
CLIMAX OF
EVOLUTION
Mental AcuteneSs Developed
From Swinging Through
Trees by Hands.
By DAVID DIETZ
Science Editor of The Times

Copyright by David D1etz)
ErI HILE modern biology teaches
WI that man is related directly to
other forms of life upon the
earth and that he is the descendant of
a mammal that was also the common
ancestor of the man-like apes, it is
a mistake to think of biology as de-
grading the state of man.
Rather, it enobles him, pointing ou'
that he is the climax Of millions
of years of evolution. Biologists point
out that man represents a new depart
ure in the evolutionary process and
that he represents an asset in the
evolutionary scale.
The fact that most of the man-like
apes travel from tree branch to tree
branch swinging by their arms after
the fashion of acrobats, is believed
to have been a significant fact which
led to the evolution of man.
Requires Precision
Such a mode of locomotion requires
the utmost precision and judgment,
for a false leap would mean a fall
with possible death.
Mental acuteness must have de
veloped as a result of this. Jack
London in his Before Adam" points
out that men frequently dream of
falling but wake up before they seem
to strike ground. He thought that
this dream was an inheritance from
our earliest ancestors who had some
times slipped in making a leap and
fallen, but who had caught another
branch before striking the ground.
But while tree-life had much to do
with the evolution Of man, it is the
fact that certain of the primates
descended from the trees to live on
the ground. which accounts for the
development of man.
AS a result Of the descent to the
ground. man developed the erect
standing posture.
No longer needing his hands as a
means Of locomotion. he developed
them as the organs of the mind.
Becomes a Hunter
Life on the ground cut him OF
from the easily obtained tree fruit and
he became a hunter and took to uv-
ing in caves.
That freed him from climatic re-
strictions and led to the development
of communal life.
Man. as we have said, represents
an ascent in the evolutionary scale.
The important advances in man in

Third arty Talk

Hitherto nObody's suggested the
possibility Of third party victory
next November. That's what is be-
ing suggested in Washington now.
Not a mere throwing of the presiden-
tial choice into the House of Repre-
sentatives, but third party victory at
the polls. It's the consensus Of opin-
ION at the Capital that, between the
two old line parties, there's little to
choose.
Too Late
March Is is past and the income tax
isn't cut. March II President Cool
idge asked Congress to reduce it 25
per cent. Too late to head off the
next payment, answered Congress.
And Senator Harrison, representative
Garner and others criticised the Presi-
dent for not asking sooner. AS If
anybody had to wait to be told by the
President that everybody wants the
tax cut!

take leaf in calling a spade a spade

Taxation

To the Editor Of The Times
AS another presidential campaign is
near at hand. it behooves all who are
interested to not let the enemy get
too far in the lead. We each have
our views on taxes and all economic
problems. But we have in every State
the local tax problem. The earth is
the master wheel of everything, and
if everything runs smoothly, we must
get the master wheel properly bal
anced and fabricated. To this end we
must see that those in charge are
not overtaxed and ground down. Much
should be said on this subject.
I am rs years old and never have
sought any Office.

Rainbow Chasers"

That those rainbow chasers who
imagine they have a fortune of $780,
600, 900 on the site of a Delaware city
should become suspicious that they
were being 'buncoed" out of some
perfectly good money augurs well for
their safety.
Recovering misplaced fortunes is
che of the most fascinating games
ever pulled off in communities that
otherwise show a modicum of sanity.

If patrons of the Indianapolis

it is because they are bewildered. If

There is no installment plan for the

fare or walk.
Again I reiterate my statement
