he next great step in the evolu-
ton of life upon this earth was
IL the development OF the fish
the first backboned animal.
Previous forms Of life as we have
seen, from the one-celled animals to
the sponges and jellyfish and molluscs
were all extremely sluggish forms OF
life.
The fish is the first form to show
that characteristic activity which we
commonly think Of rs the chief at
tribute Of animal life.
The geolegist finds the first records
Of simple types Of fish not in rocks
formed from sediment laid down in
the ocean, but in fresh water.
Therefore. 1t Is evident that the
fresh-water fishes were evolved first
and that ocean fishes descended from
fresh-water fishes which were carried
into the ocean by the streams and
learned to live in salt water.
This important fact gives us a cIew
to how fish evolved.
1t was the result Of one OF those
revolutions or upheavals of the land
'AAAN4A ~ JUS AZ = ANt1N AAAO NAAANl4lA llScS
into existence.
As result of this upheaval Of the
land, placid, sluggish streams were
turned into swiftly flowing ones.
The sluggish forms of marine life
were swept into the sea as a result.
There were great disadvantages to
this. Organisms accustomed to fresh
water would find life disagreeable and
for the most part impossible in salt
water.
1t now became necessary to combat
the swift current in the streams or
be evicted from them
There is a form of eel today, known
as the stream-borne lamprey. which
clings to the stream bottom by its
mouth and let's it's body be whipped
about by the stream in the same way
that a flag is whipped about by the
breeze.
Biologists believe that creatures of
this sort were the first to learn to
maintain their places in the swift
streams.

Yourself!
Ingenuity

Are you resourceful in doing things?
Here is a test that will give you some
idea of your ingenuity.
Warming: Do not look at the an
swers until you have tried the prob
lens.
FIRST PROBLEM: Suppose you
had only an eight and a five-quart pail
and wanted to measure out exactly
three quarts Of water Start by filing
the eight-quart pail first. How would
YOU do it? You must not guess at the
quantity or estimate 1t. The pals are
not graduated, but can be poured from
one to the other. There is not a
"catoh" to the problem and it can be
solved easily Work out the problem
mentally without paper and pencil,
then after you are through write out
the steps that you took and compare
with the answers below.
SECOND PROBLEM: A doctor
wishes 10 measure out exactly four
ounces of liquid medicine, but he finds
that he has only two plain unmarked
bottles of seven and f1ve-ounce capaci-
ties. HOW OOtS nc ilteI9uAo CuN INV
desired quantity. If he starts by filing
the seven-ounce bottle?
Answers-Problem I. Part Of the
water in the filed eight-quart pail is
poured into the flve-quart pail, which
is then emptied. The desired three
quarts remain I'm the elght-quart pail.
Problem 2 He pours part Of the
sever ounce bottles contents into the
fve-ounce bottle filing It exactly; then
empties the flve-ounce bottle. He then
empties the seven-ounce bottle into
the fve-ounce bottle. Then the seven
ounce bottle IS filed again and suffl-
cient liquid poured from II to nh the
rest Of the fve-oupce bottle. TIE five
ounce bottle is then emptied. The de-
sired four ounces of medicine will be
contained in the seven-ounce bottle.

iacal convicts sought to strike him

There is boy convicted OF muir
der who struck a comrade with a
knife in the dark, apparently by &C
cident, and the boy already had won
a croiX de guerre.
Youthfulness is a striking char
acteristic of many prisoners.
Many committed their crimes over
seas, due largely to the easily OBJ
tanned wine and cognac.
In some cases the severity Of the
sentences seems due to the courts
desire to make an impression abroad
with the sternness Of American dis
-cipline
And some of the prisoners are
simply hard boiled malefactors.
There seems to be no probability
of blanket amnesty for all. But
there's a fAverish hope that the
visit of the two War Department
officers will mean some of the sol
diers within will join the slackers
outside.

This eel. in swimming, merely re-
produces the motions which are given
to it by the stream when it passive!y
clings to the stream bottom by its
mouth
In this way. it is believed. the first

Of swimming requires a certain play
Of muscles. This action IS such as
to be facilitated by a stiffeaing along
the axis of the body of the fish.
AS a result of this, fish were first
evolved with a plant cellular mem
brane along their axis. In time this
developed into a supple rod of cafti-
lage. Next this was supplanted by a
bony axis. When this took place. the
true fish-the first back-boned animal

1EAVENWORTH,K as., March
IA box of cigars came in
III the mail to the United
States penitentiary here.
1t was addressed to Adrian Tay-
lor, chief prisoner clerk, and Vir-
tually private secretary to Warden
Biddle. Taylor enlisted in the army
when the war started and fought on
half dozen sectors of the front,
and in the five years since he has
been a prisoner there hasn't been
one scratch on his record. He has
thirty years yet to serve.
The sender Of the cigars was
Lothar Witzke, the only enemy spy
in the United States who was SEN
fenced to death during hostility in
Mexico and was considered poten-
tial dynaniter and a menace. He
escaped once and was regarded as
extremely dangerous. The death
sentence was committed to life in
the penitentiary, however, and last
November he was released.
The alien spy free and, to his
credit, remembering a prison ac-
quaintance with a gift The loyal
soldier and obedient prisoner left
behind the walls!
Taylor's case probably looks the
worst on c4icial records and looks
the most worthy of clemency to
those personally acquainted with it
of almost INV in tho list
Serious Charge
The charge Is criminal assault
upon an aged woman in France.
Taylor's story is he heard a
commotion in a house one night. 1t
was a house not Of the best reputa-
ton and was frequented by soldiers.
Taylor ran in and found two sol
diers struggling with the pro-
prietress. He fought with them,
they fled and he lifted the old wom-
an from where she had fallen on
the floor.
Then the French gendarmes came
in. Upon their testimony he was
found guilty and sentenced by court
martial. The victim never identified
him.
Perhaps the version indicated by
circumstances and accepted by the
court is correct. Perhaps Taylor's
good conduct before and since the
incident is a pose and a fraud. But
in a civil court, with innocence pre-
sumed until guilt is proved, there Is
at least a chance the findings might
have been different.
176 Locked Up
Taylor is among 176 Of wartime
military prisoners who have been
examined at close range by Major
James H Stansfeld and Major
Frank X Ross. sent from Wash
ington for that purpose.
Over at the disciplinary barracks
at Fort Leavenworth there are 1S4
other military prisoners who face
sentences of five years or longer.
And there are other all but for
gotten wartime soldiers at Atlanta
and Mcneil Island. Wash, and Fort
Jay, N. Y, who are now being CON
sidered.
While these remain in prison-pa-
trioic men who got into trouble
while in uniform-the highways of
the earth are open to the slacke-s

who are beneficiaries Of sweeping
clemency. Not one remains in Fed
eral prison.

Reforming.

To the Editor of The Times
Have been reading In various papers
where a certain reform organization
is going to try to stop the use of
coffee, cigarettes and, in fact, tobacco
in all it's forms.
Don't you think that to prohibit
people from using either would be
stepping on the rights Of every Ameri-
can citizen? / believe If these So
called reform organizations would
start reforming in their own circles,
instead of trying to force their ideas
on the people, they would accomplish
more. In my opinion it is done more
for notortety than for good.
