Evolution
las Defined i'm Webster's New In
teInatiOnal Dictionary

/
1. An unfolding or unrolling, as Of
a scroll; hence, a process of opening
out or developing what is contained
or implied in something; a NANTES
tation of related events or ideas in
a natural or orderly succession, as
in a process Of growth; a develop
ment.
Paragraphs 2 TO 6, inclusive, re-
late to the meaning Of evolution in
fields other than biological.)
z. Bio. (a) Originally, the develop.
ment of an organism the gradual
growth or unfolding of the parts and
organs . (b) In modern usage, the
development, not of an individual
organism, but Of a race, species or
other group; phylogeny: in general,
the steps by which any living or
ganism or group of organisms has
acquired the morphological and phys
biological characteristics that distin-
guish it; hence, the theory that the
various types Of animals and plants
have developed by descent with mod
ification from other, pre-existing
types, as opposed to the old theory
Of the separate creation Of each spe.
cies.
This theory, which involves also
the descent Of man from the lower
animals, Is based on facts abun-
dainty disclosed by every branch of
| biological study, especially by pal
eontology, embryology, comparative
anatomy, experiments in hybridiza-
ton, ct cetera.
In general, the process of evolu-
ton has been from the simpler
toward the more highly organized
and specialized types, though many
examples Of retrograde evolution.
| degeneration or reversion to a
simpler type occur.
The indications are that all
animals and plants are the de-
scendants Of a very few simple
organisms Tor perhaps of but one)
not very unlike some of the simplest
existing protozoans.
| The various living and extinct
types do not form a single series,
but a genealogical tree, whose
branches exhibit very different de-
grees Of divergence from the parent
stock. Many branches have died out
completely, and are known only by
fossils.
Close resemblance between two
forms, as between man and the
anthropoid apes, does not necessar-
lily, therefore, indicate descent of
one from the other. though it does
furnish good evidence of origin from
Tcommon ancestors at comparative
ly recent date.
The fundamental idea of the theory
of evolution is an old one. Lamarck
was the first prominent modern ZOO
golist to adopt and formulate it.
Its general acceptance, however,
was largely brought about by its
clear exposition and demonstration
by Darwin.
Modern theories of evolution differ
only IN regard to the various factors
influencing it, their relative impor-
tance, and the ways in which they
act.

For twenty years inspectors
have been writing notes to the
smoke nuisance. The latter has
rolled on in sooty Indifference,
completely ignoring epistolary Of

Every notice sent in that period
has warned an offender to abate
at once or be torn to shreds by the
fangs Of the outraged smoke ordin-
ance. Yet in no case has the
threat been carried into execution
and an offender prosecuted. Moth

1t is demonstrated that merely
sending notes-one or a dozen
promising violators a spanking
that never materializes, won't
scare the nuisance into good be-
havior. 1t must be spanked.

What were the original Coffee
houses?
They were places of refreshment,
first opened in the sixteenth century
In Constantinople. In London, they
were club houses free to all who
could buy a cup Of coffee. Each
was known for it's special circle Of
visitors, literary, scientific, religious
or political. In the absence of news
papers, they were a great means Of
spreading news and for encouraging
the discussion of public questions.
Many OF the middle and higher
classes Of society attended the coffee
houses daily, and they came to exert
so powerful an influence in politics
that in 1875, Charles III attempted
to suppress them, but in vain.
Does the college man have any
advantage over an unframed man
so far as his earnings are con-
cernied after leaving college?
According to some recent figures
given by Dean Lord of the Boston
University College of Business Ad-
ministration, the cash value of a COL
lege education is $4,000 and the
cash value Of high school educa-
ton $4,000. The average maximum
income of the unframed man is ST.
200 per year; high school graduate,
$4,000, and that of a college gradu-
ate $4,000. The total earnings Of
the three types up to sixty are set
at $4,000, $4,000 and $15O,000 The
unframed man begins to drop to-
ward dependence at the age Of so,
while the college man reaches his
maximum earning power at 60.

MAY CLOSE TWO STATE
DEPARTMENTS JULY |

That both the state highway de-
i partment and the vocational education
i department are in danger of closing
\ down operations July 1, owing to lack
OF funds, was the serious situation re-
yealed by State Auditor Wayne
Hubbs.
This situation is based on the fact
that the seventh legislature neglected
to make any provision either in the
II general appropriation bill or in spe.
clal appropriation bills for the financ-
ing of the roads, or Tor the contin-
pance of the work of vocational edu-
cation.
! Only the issuance of a favorable
opinion by the attorney general will
/ save the situation, according to Hubbs.
This will have to be forthcoming be-
/ fore next Wednesday,, which is Jplv /.
the opening Of the new fiscal year.
Otherwise, it is officially stated, the
state highway department and the vo-
cational training department will be
forced to close up their doors at once.
John w. Murphy, the attorney gem
efal, has been asked to rule on the
point OF whether in the face of a lack
OF specific appropriation the de-
partments can be financed from the
general fund Of the state, aud whether
the tax levy for the year should be
made to include these items Of ex-
pense.
In the event Of an adverse ruling
affecting either of these important
departments, it is quite possible that
the governor would be compelled to
yield to the general demand for a spe-
eIal session cf the legislature, thereby
enabling the lawmakers of the seventh
To complete some Of their duties.
Some years ago a law was passed
making ten-cent road levy EVERY
year as a continuing appropriation.
Then the legislature adopted what
was known as a financial code, aimed
TO prevent treasury leaks. The fea-
sure Of this legislation was to knock
out all so-ealled continuing appropria,
lions, and making it necessary for
every dollars WORTH of expenditure
by the state to be covered by a spe-
clf1c appropriation.
A similar situation exists with ref !
efence to the vocational education de-
partment. The state some time ago
passed law accepting the terms Of
the law passed by congress, CARRYING
90 per cent federal aid. The seventh !
legislature did not repeal this law,
neither did it make an appropriation
70 provide the states share Of the ex-
Fenee.
Though an opinion has already been
handed down favorable to the con
tinuence Of The vocational work, this
ia too general in tone to suit the audi +
tor. In explanation he stated that the /
has agreed to expend dol +
lar for dollar for actual educational
purposes but there was doubs as tos
The overhead expenses of the T
office would fall within that eiassifi-
cation.

NOW TUCSON FINDS AN
APE MONKEYIN' ROUND

An odd desert find was that Of r.
A. Smith, who brought in a large
monkey that boarded his car ten miles
out Of Tucson, on the Ajo road.
The animal when first seen was in
a tree, but came without hesitation,
hunting up canteen and showing evi-
dences Of thirst. When the eanteen
was opened, the monkey drank in true
human fashion. In the city, the mon
key refused to leave the automobile
and had to be lassoed and dragged
away by a representative of the hui
name society.
1t is believed it was lost by tour
ing party, as monkeys are not in
digenous to the locality.
