~ l am quite well acquainted
with a married man, and see him
daily in business. He has been
a frequent visitor in our home.
His wife is coming home from
abroad and they are planning to
furnish a home of their own.
Would it be proper for me to send
them a gift for the home such as
a set of dishes, a rug, or a pic
ture? / have not met his wife
but expect to very soon and II
the gift is 40. K" should / wait
until after I've met her or send
it before? And also to whom
should 1t be addressed?
For you to give such a gift
would, / think, be in very poor
taste. The giving OF the GIT
might so easily be misinterpreted
that I advise yod to wait until
you know the hostess OF the nome
before giving such a gift for the

GARRETT P. SERVISS DISCUSSES
ANIMAL EVOLUTION
TheoIogians Should Seize Upon Doctrine AS An
Indispensable Auxiliary to Present Age.

fled In living invertebrates, such
as modern scorpions and the
horseshoe crab. 1t would then be
possible for experimental biologists
and medical men to to learn some
thing definite about their his
tory and initial functions that
should be OF great Importance in
the treatment of the diseases in
man due to abnormalities of the
ductless glands"
Think of going back to the
"spiderlike" ancestor Of the eld-
haunted ostracoderm to study the
original nature and functions of
the ductless glands, those eng
NAUTICAL organs which seem, in
some inexplicable manner, to
control the life and destiny of
man, the child of all the ages!'
Indispensable Auxiliary
How far more wonderful is this
evolutionary account of the long,
upward climb of organic life on
our globe, until in the human
form, it sets foot upon O. starry
peak, than is the old legerde-
Manic story of a sudden crea-
ton, without ancestry, without
filiatiOn, from handful of brown
dust! It is science against the
Arabian Nights.
Instead of combating the doc
trine Of evolution it would seem
that theologians should seize upon
it as an Indispensable auxiliary
in the present age. 1t does not,
in any manner, contradict religion
or forbid the worship of God;
it only reveals the falseness of
certain man-made conceptions Of
God and His methods.
The inspirations of true relig-
ion have varied from age to age
in accordance with the intellec-
tual and moral advance of man.
We sacrifice neither oxen. nor
lambs, nor human children on
the affairs Of God today, but were
not these superstitious abomina-
tons tolerated and even pre-
scribed by the same ''inerrant,
inspired, authority" that is now
depended upon by the fundamen-
talists in their fight against mod
ern science? Whoever will read
thoughtfully, looking between the
lines, the opening chapters Of
Genesis, will see that even the
writer's of that book knew that
they were only drawing pictures
tial religion.

HlEIE evolution storm, after
dying down a little, is push
ing other and more formidable
looking thunderheads above the
horizon. If it is a disgrace"
to a man to be related in descent
to apes and monkeys, who,
though homely, are quite intelli-
gent, what can be said OF his
ancestral connection with fish,
which, to be sure, are often hand
some, but whose intelligence is
painfully low.
For evolutionists there is, OF
course, nothing new in the idea
of tracing the line Of the back
bOned animals, the crown of
whose Kingdom is worn by man,
to some alliance between the
earliest forms of fish and the
preceding invertebrates" such
as the mollusks. But a fresh i'm
petus seems to have been given
to the investigation of this ex-
cessively ancient missing link"
frosts of remote Spitzbergen Of
a deposit of the rarely found
fossils Of the creature called
"ostracoderm," which ceased to
live on the earth away back in
the carboniferous era, and which
is believed to have been q transi.
ton form Of animal between the
invertebrate and the fish.
Spitxbergen Fossils
Professor William Patten, of
Dartmouth College, has under
taken a study Of these Spitz-
bergen fossils, in which he hopes
to find conclusive evidence Of
mans ancestral relation to even
the progenitors of the ostraco-
derms and to trace the origin of
the mysterious "ductless glands"
back to spider-like animals from
which octracoderms and fishes
descended. . ....
Professor Patten has said: ITO
the biologist the real missing
link in animal evolution is not
between man and apes but be-
tween vertebrates and inverte-
brates. The genesis of practi-
caIly every system of great or
gans in man can be traced in
various ways, without serious
question, to corresponding Or
gans in the fishes. More
over, three of the Oldest and
most important organs of man
from medical standpoint are
the pineal gland, the pituitary or
gan and the thyroid. They ap-
parently have essentially the
same structure and functions in
all back-boned animals from man
down to the fishes.
If we can prove that the an
cestors of the ostracoderms were
spider.like animals, as l believe
we can, the homologues of these
mysterious organs can be identi-

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
Helen Rowland
The New Yorker

=
NEW YORK is the City of
IN Eternal Youth!
When Ponce de Leon started in
search Of the Magic fountain
somebody should have directed
him to Fifth avenue and Forty
second street, where it bubbles anu
sparkles as brilliantly as the paste
diamonds in the shop windows or
the made-up eyes Of the women.
In New York, a mans hair may,
turn gray with the passing years,
but he is the same snappy, alert,
debonnair BOY, with the same
spring in his step and the same
light in his eye at fifty as at
twenty.
And a woman's hair may turn
henna -colored, but she is the same
vivid, bright checked, slender
wainJed siren, today, yesterday
and forever.
A New Yorker may lose his
teeth, his job. his wife or his for
tune-but he never loses mis- OPP
timism or his POSE.
He may be "out''-but he is
never down. He may be dis
appointed-but he is never dis
illusioned!
He may change his dance steps
but he never loses his pep or his
figure. He may change the cut
of his coat and the style of his
collar; but he is always smarter
and more resplendently grOomed
today than he was yesterday
and he'll be smarter and snapper
tomorrow than he is today.
He may change his business a
dozen times; but every time you
meet him he is always just about
to do 1.-The Biggest Thing of his
Life
He may not know where he will
get his next meal-but he knows
where to find the newest play. the
latest scandal, the smartest res
taurant and the last popular craze.
He may confess his sins-butshe
will never tell you his troubles
or his failures. '.....
He hides his heartaches under
a jaunty smile, his rheumanism
under a swagger. his poverty un-
der an installment-plan coat, and
pitches his skeletons down the
elevator shaft.
The years leave their traces IN
the men Of other cities-but Time
merely stops to kiss the New
Yorker, in passing. He is as col
legiate," at forty-seven as at
seventeen.
In New York a man can always
come back"-but he can never
turn back" For him there is
always a rosy tomorrow" but
there are no yesterdays.
Whether he lives beautifully or
sordidly, wisely or foolishly, lie
must keep STEP with the process
sion, or drop out of the parade.
In New York there are more
tragedies than anywhere else in
the World-but there is no such
thing as a passee woman, IN old
man or back number!" Try

ANNAPOLIS. Md. November T.
Confidence in the Navy team was
hardly restored today. though il won
from Western Maryland by - to 0.
However. the visitors. count sd as an
easy opponent, made fine stand
against the Midshipmen. and the at
tack of the latter was distinctly weak
during most Of the game.
The game was played on muddy
field. The Navy presented a reorgan-
lied back field and several substitutes
in the line. At times the play was
distinctly weak at both points, for the
Navy failed to gain in pinches and
permitted gains against it which were
hardly expected
For three of their four touchdowns
the Navy had to thank misplays of
their opponents TO a large degree.
The most consistent and effective
ground gaining was done in the final
quarter, when Ransford and Millican,
two pony backs on the reserve list,
got in the game and punctured the
visitors line in a way the first string
had been unable TO do.
Shapley, generally considered the
star of the Navy backfeld. was dis.
tinctly off in several particulars His
style of running was quite easily han
died by the visitors. and he made
slight gains both on his line PLAYS and
his attempts around the ends His
passing was also poor, but he punted
well and also took the ball on ma sses
in excellent style.
