Science

Science constantly shOves back the
date Of the dawn of civilization and
the existence Of man in his present
form.
one eminent scientist has said
that there is reason to believe man
has existed on the earth in his pres
ent form for 100000 years. Evi-
dence along the line Of mans great
antiquity may be discovered by an
expedition now investigating the
great central desert of Asia. This
region was once a country of great
inland seas, rivers, forests and great
beasts now extinct. Many mounds
are to be investigated One Of these,
in Cobb desert, already reveals a
civilization that date back to $500
3. G.
Buried cities are the objects of
the search of scientists in this region
and in the part of Mongolia where
dinosaur eggs, perhaps millions of
years old, have been found. This
part of Mongolia is now known as a
famous fossil country. It may be
found that the region was once the
home of a highly civilized people
who existed at the same time as
many of the prehistoric animals.

On the Beach

What do I care what the wild
waves are saying, while joyfully
washing the beach. I'm just a wave
Of humanity, playing, and looking at
things out of reach.
Lolling in sand, I'm away from
the throng and I'm resting my weary

skipping along and 1 willingly join
in the game.
Soft, cooling breezes are patting
my face and the sun fights them off,
shining down. Elements battle for
rule of the place, as a cloud shades
old Sol with a frown.
Gladly I watch, as the world goes
along. all the wonderful things l
can see. The wonders of life I can

not half as big as I thought.

years ago Kilkenny was a bell boy

RACE CRAZE

Writer Says,
BY MILTON BRONNER,
NEA Serrice Writer

Fl ONDON, June 23.-Members
of the British Parliament are
IL always asking what ails the
country. why it doesn't get more
work done, and why more money is
not saved, but always dodge facing
the truth about one Of their plaques
-year-round racing.
Our country. with 100000 900 PEG
pie. only has races a few weeks in
the year. And at most of the tracks
the pari-mutuel system of betting is
in vogue.
Great Britain. with only $4,000 PEG
pie. practically has racing all the
time. And with it an army Of book
makers. The people are race-mad.
Newspapers get out early editions
in the morning just TO give the fiji al
entries and the betting prices. The
tracks always draw huge crowds
Why wouldn't they when the king
and the nobility are both race horse
owners and assiduous race goers?
The hours of labor lost by the myri-
ads of men who go to the races are
incalculable The money lost and
which goes 70 the maintenance Of
an army Of parasites in the betting
business must be huge.
