[" HE debated question wheth.
err America had it's own
n prehistoric people, as
ancient as any on the earth, in
stead Of borrowing its first in
habitants from the Eastern hem
isphere, will have a dramatic
answer in the affirmative, if the
human skull found near Los
Angeles proves to be as old as
some very good authorities in
anthropology, who have seen it
and inquired into the circum-
stances Of its discovery, are dis
posed to think that it is.
1t Is not long since DIR. Ales
Hrdlicka affirmed, in substance,
that America saw it's first men
QmInigrants) not more than 5000
years ago. He believed that if
more ancient men had existed
on this continent, some remains
Of them would have been found
in caves or stream beds long ere
this. But that is not very con-
vinctng, when we consider the
fratl and fragmentary character
or human bones that have been
Wondering twenty, or fifty, or a
hundred thousand years; and also
the small extent of the ground on
which prehistoric men may have
existed that has been explored
with the necessary minuteness to
make sure that no such remains
are there.
Besides, we have equally good
authority ON the other side. At
q number of places in North
America human remains have
been found bearing many indica-
tons of vast age, and it smackg
a little Of scientific dogmatism to
reject all such cases in spite of
the opinions of careful investiga-
tors. After all, these things are
not to be decided as a problem
in mathematics is solved.
Professor w. X. Gregory is
quoted as saying that right near
the Atlantic seaboard, at Tren-
ton, N. j., remains have been
found indicating the existence of
human beings in the latest Glac-
ial period, say 10000 or 10000
years ago. And other authorities
at the American Museum have
expressed the belief that two
teeth, found in Nebraska recent
ly, belonged to creature inter-
mediate in structure between the
chimpanzee and man. Practical
ly nothing older, of the kind, has
been found in the Old World.
And the assertion of the finders
and examiners Of the Los An
geles skull that It may be as
much as half a million years old,
comes from men wnom even
those who hold a priori, an OPP
posite opinion, regard as careful
and competent Judges. Thus the
whole breadth Of the continent is
embraced by evidence of early
man in America.
When the money now spent by
the most civilized nations on
armies, navies and wars has been
turned into the infinitely more
useful channel of scientific adj
vance, man will at last begin

appreciates out Of what conditions

hundreds of thousands of years it

Prehistory is as important as
history for the comprehension and
guidance Of mans nature. Hun

prejudices, superstitions, emula-
tons, ambitions, that affect our
conduct and our career, have
their roots in past long anterior

A great authority on anthro-
pology has said that, as far as
mere quantity of brain is con-
cerned, he cannot see that man
has made any progress since the
present geological period began.
Why then did those early men,
who already had big, full heads,

made in the last few centuries?

willingly make corrections Of unntentonal errors that are

SAP AND SALT
by BERT MOSES.

God gave us faults, and thereby
made us human.
To be an old maid is not a mis-.
fortune, but an achievement.
Divorce is inspired by two con.
ditions: One is too much money
and the other Is too little.
The last kiss is soon forgotten;
the first kiss, never.
When two people quarrel. some
third party gets the benefit.
A cut flower will last Just as
long in tomato can as In
peach-blow vase.
