To RevOlutiOnist
BY RERTON RRAIEY


You hate all trivial conventions"
You want to be Soul That's Free?
I don't object to your intentions,
Your freedoms quite all right with
me.
For Revolution you may holler.
And shrek against all kinds Of laws,
But sporting such a dirty collar
Dos not, that I see, aid your cause.
Whatever be your pet obsession,
Free love, free food, free life, free
beers;
You'd make a pleasanter impression
II you would wash behind the ears.
Cast off each economic fetter;
Don't be to Capital a slavel
But-that stuff would get over better
If now and then you had a shave.
For cleanliness remains a virtue
Which your opinions cannot jar,
And soap and water will not hurt you,
No matter how advanced you are.
And free or slave, this little ditty
Would plant this thought within
your bean;
A dirty collar isn't pretty
And finger nails are better clean.

MAMMALS
WERE FIRST
TINY BODIES
Despite Size, They Gained As
cendancy Over Giant
Reptile Rulers.
BY DAVID DIETZ,
Science Editor Of The Times.

(CopyrlghC Dy DdNlu DleID
IVA HILE the gigantic reptiles. the
IWI dinosaurs. ruled the earth, the
first mammals made their APP
pearance.
There was a small reptile in those
days which is now extinct. Scien-
lists call it the dog-toothed reptile or
Cynodont He was the ancestor Of
the mammals.
The first mammals were Insight
cant. They were no lorger than rats
or mice.
1t is interesting to compare the
Jaw Of a fossil mammal Of the Age
of Reptiles with the tooth of one OF
the big dinosaurs. The reptile tooth
is about twenty times larger than
the mammals whole jaw.
But the reptiles have disappeared,
except for the crocodile, the turtle, the
snake and tiny forms like the little
lizards.
Mammals Take Place
Mammals have taken their place of
ascendancy upon the earth.
The mammal differs from the reptile
in many respects. First of all. the
mammal is warm -blooded. The reptile
is Geld blooded, or to state the case
more accurately. the temperature OF
his blood varies with the tempera-
ture Of his surroundings.
The temperature of the mammals
blood is constant and as rule higher
than his surroundings. A tempera-
ture Of 100 degrees Fahrenheit is
about the average.
The mammal also has other impor-
tant differences from the reptile. It
has a covering of hair. This repre-
sents a long process Of evolution, the
hair having evolved from the reptiles
scales.
The mammal does not lay eggs, but
the young are born fully formed. The
female feeds it young from it's breasts
or mammary glands.
The transition from reptile to mann
nal was a gradual one and just as
we find lung-hshes today which give
US a hint as to the evolution from
fish to amphibian, we find three NAM
mails today which are midway be-
tween reptiles and the true mammals.
OuAAu III AuSL gaia
They are the duckmole, the spiny
ant-eater and a second type of ant
eater. All three are found in Aus
tralia
All three lay eggs. as do the rep
tiles. from which the young are
Matched
The ducImole is a small fur-cov-
cred animal about a foot and a half
long. 1t has jaws flattened like the
bill OF a duck and webbed fore-feet.
The ant-eaters have long narrow
tube-like shouts and long sticky ton
CUES with which they catch and pick
up ants.
A gradv higher than these queer
animals are the so-called marsupials
such as the kangaroo. In these
cases the young are born exception
ally weak and helpless and carried
about after birth by the mother in
sort % pouch in her skin.

JAIL TERM FOR ANYBODY
IN OIL SCANDAL UNLIKELY

was afraid it would be made very un-
pleasant for him on the witness stand
before the investigators. So he did his
best not. to be called. Rats of
messages were sent TO him, telling
him what the prospects were.
The investigators reckon that man
who was willing to try to help Fall
out, as Mclean tried must know a
lot about the whole case. They'r re try
ing to learn from his kilograms just
what he did know. They want to
know. too.
Senator Hetiin got an idea two of
McLean's kilograms were from Presi-
dent Coolidge. Investigation proved
he was right. The President ex-
planned, however, one of them was
about the appointment of a commits
sioner of the District OF Columbia;
the other thanked Mclean for COM
pllmenting a speech he had made. A
big splurge has been made because
they were from the President, but
they don't appear to have much to do
with oil
Some disappointment
Some of the oil investigators don't
get along very well together.
Senators Lenroot and Snoot are ac-
cused Of trying to hush that in
quiry UP.
Then somebody started the story
Senator Walsh had been correspond
ing with Doheny. Walsh promptly
read the correspondence. 1t seems he
called Doheny's attention to a letter
from man who wanted to interest
some capitalist in Montana oil
Doheny said he would be interested
If Walsh would go in. too Walsh
said he couldn't; he was a Senator
and 1t wouldn't be right-wouldn't
look well, anyway.
1t all happened before Dohenys and
Falls names were linked.

Read Mt. 7:1-12. Text 7:11. II We
then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your Father who Is
in heaven give good things to them
that ask him?
1T is of utmost Importance there
fore to present praying to men in
such a way as to make it seem an i'm
mediately feasible way to produce
valuable results in the days work. In
this way a growing awareness of God
in the work and friendships of daily
life will be developed. God can be
counted on to respond. Man does not
do all the seeking"
MEDITATION: In Gods great be
ing there are treasures which he longs
to give to his children when they are
prepared to receive them and use
them to advantage. One evidence
that we can use his gifts is that we
see the need and we ask for them. AS
wise father God gives to each child
an important place in the kingdom
and plans that the personality of each
one shall have an opportunity for de-
velopment.
PERSONAL QUESTION: Does
God answer my prayer?
PRAYER: Eternal God, whose
mercies are over all thy children and
whose love seeketh US in all our days,
turn, we pray thee, our faces toward
the light of thy countenance. May
we live in thy spirit this day, o Lord,
Amen.

Car Company's Friend

Aar company FTieHn
To the Editor Of The Times
There are many and various angles
from which to CONSIDER the proposal
of the Indianapolis Street Railway to
increase the street car fare in order
that it may be reimbursed for losses
sustained by bus competition.
To fair thinkers this competition
seems most unjust since the street
car company is required to extend
lines to outlying districts. Also to
maintain frequent and regular inter
walls on all lines, even though some
are operated at a considerable loss.
On the other hand the busses are
unregulated, maintaining desultory
and erratic schedules, especially dur
ing Indictment weather when the traf-
fic is the heaviest. They operate chief
ly during the peak travel periods, TAX
ing the short hauls to conserve time
and reaping the profits gained there
by. Their routes are constantly
changing in order to facilitate shorter
ways and easier profits. The buses
do not go into new additions where
transportation facilities are required
to provide for the normal growth CT
the city.
The Indianapolis Street Railway
Company deserves the support of the
people of this city. 1t has served
them faithfully efficiently and most
reasonably. In making a comparison
with cities of similar size the service
here is found far superior and the
fare considerably less.
Numerous bus experiments in vari-
Gus cities have conclusively proved
that electric rapid transit Is tbs most
satisfactory and economical method
so far devised for mass transporta-
ton
1t must also be recalled that dur
ing the World War while other pub
lie utilities received substantial in
creases, the Indianapolis Street Rail-
way did not profit accordingly; there
fore it stands in dire need of further
assistance and should be accorded the
loyal support of every citizen of this
city. OBSERVER.

OSTON, March 11.--He walked

a waiter. So he quit.
Denied the $40 earned in a cheap
