Tr1 HE first life upon earth was
| probably the simplest sort i'm
IL aginable. Scientists agree upon
this though they do not know how
life did originate.
Probably the first forms of life were
merely microscopic globules of living
matter
In time, simple one-celled- organ
isms evolved. Today we find such
simple one-celled organisms or ami
malcules, as they are sometimes
called, which probably resemble these
first organisms.
Scientists call these animalcules
"protists." They aren't definitely ami
mails or plants.
Some time later, probably millions
OF years later. the first great step in
evolution came about.
Parting of the Ways
Some of these organisms began to
assume the characteristics of animals.
Others, those of plants. This was the
great parting of the ways, the divid-
ing of life into the plant kingdom and
the animal kingdom.
From this point on the evolution
of life can be compared to a letter
''V," the evolution of plants going
along one branch and the evolution
of animals along the other.
We find today upon the earth mi
croscopic one-ceIled plants and ami
mails
We imagine that these first plants
and animals resemble them.
It is easy for US to see the differ
ence between the animals and plants
around us.
But it is not so easy to get down
to the fundamental difference which
would differentiate microscopic crea-
lures into plants and animals.
Modern science, however. has sue
ceeded in doing that.
Plants are organisms which feed at
low chemical level That Is, they
feed on air, water and chemical salts.
They absorb these salts directly out
of water or soil. They possess a green
pigment known as chlorophyl. As q
result OF this pigment. they are able
In sunlight 20 absorb carbon dioxlde
out Of the air and turn 1t directly
into carbon compounds.
Animals lack these powers. They
feed at high chemical level. That is.
they feed on atarches. sugars. fats and
proteins, getting them by devouring
plants or other animals.
Possess Little Activity
There Is n second great difference
between plants and animals. Plants
possess little activity. Their cells are
boxed in walls of a substance known
as cellulose.
Animals are active, Their cells do
not have walls OF cellulose. and in
most cases not much OF wall Of any
sort.
The first plants upon the earth
probably were microscopic one-celled
green plants floating In the open sea.
Similar plants existing today are
known as fiagellae.
The first animal was also in the sea.
He resembled the present-day amelia.
The ameba, found today in ditch
water and muddy ponds. IS a tiny ir-
regular shaped speck of grayish mat
ter like jelly. But 1t moves about and
takes food by distending itself or
flowing around the food speck and
thus absorbing IL.

were investigating.

"Some Splash"
Angered at Senator's demands for
his resignation. Attorney General
Daugherty says certain Senators had
better resign, too, or he'll cause
some splash"
Inasmuch as the things Daugherty
could tell probably would crowd the
present oil investigation right off
the newspapers front pages, there
may be startling revelations coming.
Anyway. the Senate has called

HINKLE TALKS ON
MAINTENANCE OF
GRAVEL HIGHWAYS
Tells Road School Problem Of
Eliminating CorrugationS
Solved.
81 Times Special

bV lfmeS SpeCtnt
LAFAYETTE. Ind, Jan. 9.-After
experimenting months on gravel
road in southern Indiana we are con-
fident Of having solved the problem
If taking ruts or corrugations out Of
this type of surface, A. II. Hinkle,
maintenance superintendent of the
State highway commission, told en-
gineers attending the Tenth Annual
Purdue Road School here today.
The Hinkle method Of overcoming
corrugations is simple. In the main
and stone so it will pass through a
one-inch screen and applying the dust
along with screenings.
He said the experiment had been
tried for several months under most
trying conditions, and to date all ex
pectations for it's success had been
realized. So confident of the solution
is Hinkle that the new plan will be
adopted on all gravel and stone roads
in the Indiana State system.
The speaker emphasized the impor-
tace Of dragging to prevent forma-
ton Of corrugations. Our expert
ence determined that corrugation is
greatly reduced by using a very heavy
drag or grader to plane off the sur
face" he said.
Hinkle sprang another surprise in
road maintenance when he told how
his division drags a road just after it
is given a surface treatment of btu
minous ma .erial and clean stone chips.
This innovstio was started this past
summer. TOOK out the irregularities
often to be found. and proved SO sue
cessful that other States are now drag.
