istics.
AS we have seen, even several
types of true men existed in the Old
Stone Age.
Two great opposing forces have
been at work throughout the story of
mankind. One has been the tendency
toward differentiation.
The other has been assimilation,
the intermingling Of different types
tending to bring about similarity.
Different varieties of men migrat-
ing about the world and inter
with the types they met,
have tended to make for assimilation.
But certain great barriers. such
as oceans and high mountain ranges
have tended to preserve differentia-
tons in certain great cases.
Result of Climates
These differentiahons are thought
to be the results of varying climates,
foods. living conditions and the like.
Therefore we find certain general
prevailing through
out great areas.
Thus in the north and western
Europe great numbers OF peoples are
characterized by white skins, fair hair
and blue eyes.
About the Mediterranean we find
peoples with white skins but dark hair
and black eyes
In eastern Asia great numbers OF
peoples have yellowish skins, straight
black hair and more or less high
cheek bones.
Most of the natives of southern
Africa have black skins, fat noses
and thick lips
The scientist who studies races. the
ethnologist. divides mankind up into
races which he has assigned names
Thus the race which spread over
Europe, the Mediterranean area and
western Asia is known as Caucasian.
1t is divided into three m7in groups.
The first include the northern blondes

Dilemma ?
BY BERTON BRALEY

1t was a weary Motorist
Who stoppeth one Of three;
II have a grisly tale to tell
l prithee, list to me-
-Four days ago l drove to town
And on the street did stop.
'Ye cannot park that wagon here,
Drive on! so spake the Cop.
And then I sought another space
Where there seemed room to
spare;
Drive on, drive ONT Ye Copper
quoth,
'Ye cannot park it there
q needed shelter and a shave;
Ye night was growing dark,
But though to park my boat I'd
crave. g."
No one would let me park.
81 tried We narrow streets and wide,
For many hours I'd ridden,
But ever would find sign
HERE PARKING IS FORBID
DEN
Il even tried We graveyard once,
When sudden did appear
A ghost from out vault who said,
'Ye cannot park in here
-Four weary days I've driven round
Within this benzine ark,
My strength is getting very low,
For everywhere in town I go
They will not let me park"
traffic cop approached the group,
His aspect bleak and dread.
"Ye're blockin traffic on the street,
Ye can't park here" he said
Then off We dock the Motorist
Propelled his dusty Flivver.
They fished him out, all blue and
cold,
With all his bones ashiver;
And then the Cop arrested him
For parking in the river!

Friday and Saturday-"Kick In"-
Presenting a remarkable stellar cast,
George Fitzmaurice's superb Para
mount production, "Kick In," is based
on Willard Mack's successful play.
While it is admitted that in some
pictures too many outstanding play
ers might give a crowded" effect,
nothing like this is possible in "Kick
In," because of the fact that while
the production contains eleven persons
of stellar and near-stellar rank, the
scenes are so divided that the players
appear in groups. The featured play
ers are Betty Compson, Bert Lytell
and May McAvoy, while others in the
cast include Gareth Hughes, Kathleen
Clifford, May Kelso, John Miltern,
Walter Long, Robert Agnew, Jed
Prouty and Carlton King. There are
two main roles of Chic Hewes, a re-
formed crook, and Molly Brandon, the
District Attorneys daughter. Betty
COmpson and Bert Lytell were con-
sidered ideal for the two parts be-
cause it was in crook parts that they
