THE MIXING AND THE CROSS
ING OF THE RACES
Concluded from page d
By Charles c. Roe

up to a few hundred years ago it is
probable that since the days of the
Palaeolithic Age at least mankind has
on the whole been differentiating
The species has differentiated in that
period into very great number of
varieties, many Of which have re-
blended with others, which have
spread and undergone further differ
entiation or become extinct. Wherever
there has been strongly marked
local difference of conditions and
check-up on intermixture, there one is
almost obliged to assume a variety Of
mankind must have appeared. Of
such local varieties there must have
been great multitude. In one re-
mote corner of the world, Tasmania,
a little cutoff population of people
remained in the early Palaeolithic
stage until the discovery of that is
land BY the Dutch in 1912. They are
now, unhappily, extinct. The last
Tasmanian died in 1877. They may
have been cut off from the rest OF
mankind for $1,000 or 10000 or $4,000
years.
But among the numerous obstacles
and interruptions to intermixture there
have been certain main barriers, such
as the Atlantic Ocean, the highlands.
once higher. and the now vanished
seas Of Central Asia and the like,
which have cut off great groups Of
varieties from other great groups of
varieties over long periods Of time.
These separated groups Of varieties
developed very early certain broad
resemblances and differences. Most Of
the varieties Of men in eastern Asia
and America, but not all, have now
this in common, that they have yell
lowish buff skins, straight black hair,
and often high cheek-bones. Most OF
the native peoples Of Africa south Of
the Saharah, but not all, have black
or blackish skins. fiat noses, thick
lips, and frizzy hair. In north and
western Europe great number Of
people have fair hair, blue eyes, and
rudy compilations; and about the
Mediterranean there is a prevalence
Of white-skinned peoples with dark
eyes and black hair The black hair
Of many Of these dark whites IS
straight, but never 50 strong and
waveless as the hair of the yellow
peoples. It is straighter in the east
than in the west. In southern India
we find brownish and darker peo-
pies with straight black hair, and these
as We pass eastward give place to
more distinctly yellow peoples. In
scattered islands and in Papua and
New Guinea we find another series Of
black and brownish peoples Of a more
lowly type with frizzy hair.
But it must be borne in mind that
these are very loose-htting generaliza-
tons. Some Of the areas and isolated
pockets Of mankind in the Asiatic
area may have been under conditions
more like those in the European area;
some Of the African areas are Of a
more Asiatic and less distinctively
African type. We find wavy-haired,
fairish, hairy-slinned race, the Ainu,
in Japan. They are more ike the
Europeans in their facial type than
the surrounding yellow japanese.
They may Be a drifted patch Of the
whites or they may be quite distinct
people. We find primitive black peo-
pie in the Andaman Islands far away

Africa. There IS a streak Of very

.NADOO DEGREES
 ADMINISTRATION
Declares Nation Reaping Fruits Of Moral And
 Political Degradation

NEW YORK, May 19.-"The ideal ism of Wilson has been scorned and neglected. We have seen the idealiza- tion of materialism. We are reaping the fruits of that moral and political degradation"
 Thus William G. McAdoo decried the republican administration in a speech before 300 democratic women here Monday.
 Putting his opinion of the republic an party into doggerel verse, he added ]:
 ''The lightning bug is brilliant but he hasn't any mind;
 "He travels through existence with his headlight on behind"
 McAdoo declared that the republican foreign policy of isolation has prevent ed the recovery of American markets in Europe and resulted in great losses to American farmers.
 Our independence never will be in jured through cooperating with the world" he said, in a plea for a return to Wilsonian principles.
 Indirectly, McAdoo warned the demo- cratic party against nominating re- actionary, pushing himself forward as the logical candidate.
 '@To adopt reactionary philosophy would be foolish Democracy needs recultivation. Our first pioneers went to the Pacific and then cultivated back wards toward the east.'
 McAdoo was introduced amid much applause as the ''man about whom all the forces of progress in America are gathered"

HAWAII VOLCANO ! IS ON RAMP AGE; THREE MISSING
Nurse And Two Soldiers Are Unaccounted For
 After Explosion

HONOLULU, May 19.--(By Asso. ,ciated Press. )-Three persons are un. accounted for following a violent ex. plosion in the crater of Kilauea vol. cano, on the island of Hawaii, said ad. vices reaching here last night from Hilo, on that island. They are Miss Molly U. Thomas, district nurse of the board of health, and two soldiers whose names were not given.
 The explosion was the most violent of the current period of activity in the volcano. The three were seen at the edge of the great pit of the crater i'm. mediately before the explosion and had not been found afterward up to the time the HilO dispatch was filed.
 Truman $. Taylor, a bookkeeper of Pahala, was struck by rock thrown out from the volcano immediately after the explosion and both legs crushed. He was unable to seek safety, but his cries were heard by another sightseer who assisted him to the military camp.
 Violent explosions with eruptions of rocks, sand and ashes continued un- abated. There were Ii Saturday night and three notable ones Sunday morn- ing, besides numerous lesser disturb ances at irregular intervals. Each large detonation is followed by shower of rocks of immense size, some of the missiles being hurled three-quarters of 6 mile. The rock which injured Taylor fell 1890 feet from the crater. 4 rain of ash and mud followed those rock showers. The rainfall is tremendous and is accompanied by brilliant displays of lightning and violent thunder.

LOVE COMEDY lS .
 DRAMATICALLY
Miss Manker And Fill.
 more Star In Jeffer- . son Play

What is predicted by the first night crowd to be one of the most popular of the seasons plays was opened Mon | day night at the Jefferson theatre by the All-Star Jefferson Players. The three-act comedy, "In Love With Love" gives the theatregoer of every tempera- ment real enjoyment, for from the deep est dramatic moments to the hghtest bits of humor the play changes swiftly and lightly.
 The eternal triangle" is superseded by the quadrangle" in the play. Not u..til the last moment is the climax reached. The girl, sought by two men, sweeps them through the play from de- jection to happiness and back again, but neither wins and third con QuerS.
 Russell Fillmore and Miss Tamzon Manker vie with each other in the ex- cellence of the portrayal of their roles. Miss Manker, the much besought young lady, plays a perfect role. She toys coyly with the hearts of two men, as she has all the others during her romantic young life, but finally is conquered by q third young fellow who is not even in the race.
 Fillmore, playing the part of the love blinl young society man, is at his best. His moments of dejeetion, his moments of blind happiness, the portrayal of ir- resistible youth, are well suited for Fillmore.
 DeForest Dawley, theathird party of the trinagle, is a self-confiderit and self satisfied young civil engineer, success ful in business, he sees not defeat in love, but finally is brought to realize that for once he is beaten. He suits such role well, and his acting is splendid.
 J. Glynn McFarlane, unconscious of the love which is brewing in the heart of the maiden, while two others vainly seek to win her, works faithfully at his drawings, for he, too, is d civil engineer and is striving to land his first big job-Abut he fails. The bridge goes to another engineer. but in his defeat he is, nevertheless, the winner, for the girl is won by him. His is the part of John Alden and he seeks to advance the cause of another, but in the end the heart of Ann, like that of Priscilla, goes to the spokesman of a friend. As the final curtain falls both Bobby Metcalf (Fillmore) and Frank Oakes (Dawleyl have learned that the love of the girl is not for them. Gardner (McFarlane) is still ignorant of the girls love for him, but as he learns of his defeat for the construction of the bridge she her self is forced to confess it.
 The part of William Jordan, Ann's father, is played by A. s. Byron, and he is a gOod.humored father. His part Is an indispensable one in the play and adds much humor.
 Marion Sears, divorced friend of Ann, is well played by Miss Elaine Davies, while Julia, the maid, is a perfect part ms played by Miss Helen Ray.

Fifth Annual Bathing Review
 Held Friday Night

West Lake will pry the lid off the swimming season Friday night with its fifth annual bathing review, according to announcement Monday by Johnny Ryan, manager. With the mercury back up in high company after having hung around in the low ffties for two weeks, the review is expected to attract mere men and mermaids by the scores, but, bear in mind, the review is only for women bathers.
 Prizes will be awarded for the pret- tiest girl, the prettiest bathing suit and the most popular girl.
 To go with all this, Jack Links So- ciety Serenaders will make their debut at the lake, taking over the playing end at the open air dance pavilion. we are most fortunate in getting the So- ciety Serenaders," said Mir. Ryan, land in announcing them am confident that dancers who are critical of music will be delighted"
 The lake, incidentally, is declared to be better than ever. Experts who an nually inspect the water and the lily growth in the eddies declare that the percentage of the purity of the spring water is well above the average, which even since its existence, has been all that swimmrs could desire. This is due to exceptional sanitary precaution taken by the management, it is declared, and is in line with the latest methods used by eastern resortsa

PRESBYTERIANS REAFFIRM FAITH
 IN PRINCIPLES
Fuhdamentalist Modern ist Issue Ends Without
 Serious Disruption @

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 19.- The ftrndamentalist-mo storm broke mildly over the Sixty-fourth gem eral assembly of the -Presbyterian church today and left the assembly to- night standing firmly on simple re- affirmation of the churchs fundamental faith, @'
 Ending without serious disruption, the issue nevertheless caused extended debate from an unexpected and unusual angle. There was no difference of opin- ion expressed as to what the funda- nentals of the faith are, the dispute arising only over how those funda- inentals should be expressed.
 The floor generalship of the Rev. !. g. Lyons of Atlanta, perhaps did more than anything else to crystalize the sentiment of the assembly and kept 1t from going far afield on the ques- ton. When the committee on bills and overtures proposed that the assem- ply declare itself on ten fundamental principles taken from the confession of faith the Rev. Mir. Lyons immediately opposed the action on the ground that 1t would plunge the church intO--the swirl of a controversy that has brought disaster on other churches" and he at offee presented a substitute for the proposal of the committee. After many commissioners representing various sec tions were heard the following substi- ute expressing the assembly's stand on fundamentals was adopted: ,~o Substitute Adopted r,
 That because of the clarity and fullness of the presentation of Chris tian truth in our confession of faith and catechisms and in the absence of any disposition to question the funda- mental truths as set forth in these symbols of our faith. the general as aennbly simply re-affirms its faith in the great. fundamentals of our church as set forth in our confession of faith and catechisms and declines to make additional declarations of doctrines"
 The Rev. William Duncan of Troy. Ala, asserted the people are waiting for some declaration.
 '"The Presbyterians of the north are waiting to see if we have the courage to make this declaration, he said. The issuefis upon us; we cannot evade it, Let us make this assertion that the people may know this body stands on Fundamentals" -.
