INDIANS HAD OWN IDEAS
 ON EVOLUTION THEORY
Inscriptions on Rocks Disclose How Red Man Viewed Now
 Important Question.

Denver, Colo. Oct. SO R The research of Dr. Jean Allard Jean- con, curator of archaeology for the Colorado museum. has disclosed that the North American Indians devised a theory of evolution which antedated that Of Charles Darwin by some S.9oO years.
 Written on rocks in symbolic language, which archaeologists have found In ruins. the Indians legend Of the creation and evolu- ton of man was that he was born of Mother Earth in her innermost recesses and after four stages of development found his way to the surface, where he attained physical perfection.
 In the lowest form, in the caves of the earth, the legend depicted man as having neither eyes nor a nose and. strongly resembling Dar- wins protoplasmic man, having dangling tenacles which after wards evolved into arms and legs Lacking ordinary means Of conn munication, the creature used tel epathy.
 Later stages of evolution came when the two hero gods answered the prayers of this lowest form of man and gave him a grain of corn to plant. The grain grew through the ceiling of the cave, pushed through three higher caves and reached the earth's surface. AS the Indian followed the stalk Of corn. he acquired speech. sight and smell and gained the knowledge of good and evil.
 In one Of the caves a long tail became part of the mans body. He lost 1t when he attained the sur face. The myth of the tall is inter esting, as the Indians knew nothing of the monkey family.

NO GOVERNMENT ACTION IN BITUMISOUS DISPUTE

In letting 1t be known that the government intends 10 do nothing about helping to "enforce" the Jack sonville agreement relative 10 wages and working conditions in the bltuminous mine fields. President Coolidge is sitting tight with regard to both the anthracite and the bituminous situation.
 The Presidents stand ia the bitumInous controversy is pred!cat- ed upon the belief that If the United Mine Workers have grievances against certain bituminous operators who, as they claim, have not lived up to the agreement signed at Jack sonville, they should take their case to the courts. Indeed, the presiden- tial spokesmen have reflected sur prise that the mine unione have not done so.
 The issue Is fairly simple: The mine workers In the bituminous fields-claim that the government was party to the agreement and should see that 1t was carried out, President Coolidge denies the gov ernment was party to the agree ment. but merely brought the oper- ators and bituminous miners to- gether.
 The President Is right. The gov ernment cannot be party to such an agreement. If it is a question of broken contracts the courts are open for the testimony,

MOSUL DISPUTE AS KEY TO LEAGUE PRESTIGE

The dispute over that portion of Mesopotamia called Mosul is sIgnih- cant. It is a matter In which a land Instead Of being blessed" with mineral wealth-this time oil--fnda this resource the chief reason why it is not left alone.
 The problem of Mosrl was left over from the World War and is yet 10 be solved, The territory Is claim cd by Great Britain on behalf of her mandate, the kingdom of Iraq, and by Turkey.
 After the second Lausanne con- ference failed to come to q decision regarding 1t the question was sub nitted to the Council of the League Of Nations, which got entangled with technical questions involved and laid them before the Permanent Court Of International Justice at The Hague. This court began con- sidcration of the questions on De- tober % and it's decision Is expected in December, when the League Council will reconsider the Mosul problem on the basis of the courts findings.
 The real triumph possible for the League and the World Court in the Mosul difficulty will be much more than deciding the fate of a near-castern people Of to compose a dispute between two powers. A successful settlement will mean that the League and the World Court arc real factors in ihc settlement of problems of this kind which con tinualy crop mp as an aftermath Of the World War

If we remember rightly, a judge some time ago said from the bench that anybody has a right to jay walk across the street regardless of attempts made to regulate or pre- rcnt such individual recklessness. But this may have been the judges own opinion; some other judge un- der exactly similar circumstances might have a directly opposite opin- ion-especialIy if he happens to be an autoist and has had occasion to be bothered with jay-walkcrs.
