Prehistoric rocks of the Pacific
slope threaten to become a battle
ground OF American science. with
prominent authorities here in the
ranks. Smoldering embers were
famed yesterday by Associated Press
dispatches from Los Angeles that
construction workers had dug up
fragments of a skull which no less
an authority than Dr. J. c. Merriam
of the Carnegie Institution here be-
lieyed might antedate either the
NeanderthaI or Piltdown man found
in Europe. This would indicate that
the relic was more than half mil
established dicta of anthropology,
local scientists declare.
The controversy, which had been
dormant for several years, was re-
kindled last summer when ]. p. Har-
rington, ethnologist of the bureau of
American ethnology, claimed to have
dug up skulls in Santa Barbara,
Calf, which predated the Neander-
thai man. Harrington became the
target of fire from all sides, but never
actually has recanted his position.
He now is back in Washington and
Keeps strictly silent on his discovery
until the official report of the bureau
is made public. Prominent anthropo-
loglsts, however, have declared that
the skull, although very ancient, be-
lonGed to a close relative of the
American Indian and is probably not
more than 10000 years old.
Withhold Judgment.
Local scientists yesterday were
loath to pass judgment on the latest
find, especially since DR.. Merriam was
quoted as partially authenticating it,
although they say that it contradicts
all previous evidence concerning early
life on this continent. All indications
are, according to Washington author
tiles, that man was well developed.
differing very slightl'-, if at all, from
North America. There is a definite
school, however, which insists that
prehistoric relatives of man were pos
sible and even probable here.
In the first place, anthropologists
here ask how did a subhuman being

that the race originated in Europe
and the trail extends west, not east.
Ancient graves have been located in
Germany, France and England. hut
none in Scandinavia and none across
the steppes of Russia Siberia, n IN
ern India or China. To get to North
America this race must have crossed
the Atlantic ocean, and they lacked
even the frailest sort of canoes with
which TO make the trip. That they
jumped in some way from some of
the islands off northern Scotland to
Iceland and thence to Greenland is
impossible to believe, it was stated at
the Smithsonian Institution.
Crossing From Asia.
The other alternative is that they
crossed into Alaska by the Aleutiap
Islands from Kamchatka; the route
eventually taken by the ancestors of
the Indians, but evidence shows they
did not go in that direction. That
they sprang from the dust or were
evolved from some form of life in
America itself is almost as nonsen-
sical scientists shy In the first

Children And The State

1t is sound economic principle
that the citizens of nation should be
educated. The ignorant contribute
most to the jails, penitentiaries. poor
houses and insane asylums The Grim
inal and mentally deficient classes are
in direct ratio to the education of the
masses. The people Of Arkansas are
more and more recognizing this fact
and by their voice and vote expressing
their willingness to make such sacri-
fees as may be necessary 10 insure
a maximum efficiency in our public
schools. Many states are beginning
to enact laws requiring all children to
remain in school until they have finish
ed the eighth grade or have reached
the age Of 16. Children younger than
10 who have not completed the eighth
grade must be kept>in school by their
parents under penalty Of the law.

Quite A Bit To Laugh AT

The Agricultural Committee of the
Mississippi County Chamber of Com
merce, driving hard in its campaign
for the growing of feed stunfs, asks
the county's farmers in page adver-
tisement published IN a Blythesvllle
paper whether children are more i'm.
portant to them than mules. Then ad-
mitting they will consider this fool
ish question, the committee asks them
to laugh orr these facts:
The average Arkansas farmer has
five persons in his family.
The average Arkansas farmer has
two mules on his farm.
The annual cash production of the
average Arkansas farm is $40.
The average rent or taxes and up
keep is S192 per year.
After paying rent or taxes there
is S57S left to feed the mules and
care for the family. OF this amount
lNO multS get FOVVs luTtt tnlluft1
and two adults get 1918.
Come to think of 1t, that is quite a
little bit to laugh Off.
Another difficult thing to laugh of
Is the statement by the Agricultural
Committee that Mississippi county
spent S2,444,OOO for feedstuffs ip 1923.
This money could have been saved and
II II had been saved the farmers Of
Mississippi county would have been
able to give their families much more
in the way fcomforts and pleasures.
The committee urges the farmers to
sow rye and winter feed crops, to
save the corn that will not mature
and use It with cotton seed meal and
winter pasture for winter feed.
OF course the committee wants Mis-
sissippi county farmers TO plant am
pie feed stuffs next year. OF course
all farmers in the state should do this,
but, IL we judge by past performances,
comparatively few will do so.--Gazette.
