ascended from the ape family, and the
anthropologist of Chicago University
seems to state the general scientific
theory of relationship in this way: 1T
is evident that mans line of descent is
not through any of these anthropoids.
Ii does appear, however, that man and
other primates have common pre-
cursor, but that the anthropoids must
have branched off from the common
stock in very remote times. The testi-
mony of mans body, of his embryo

OF Christ. Many scientists are Chris

on this question as palmer orders OF

Christianity are not opposed.

Swimming Sense.

Swimming is one of the easiest and
most na tural things in the world. If
people could only be persuaded of
this. they would learn to swim much
more easily, and become much better
swimmers, and there would be fewer
drownings.
The greatest obstacle is fear of the
water. When that is lost, the power
to swim comes of itself. The person
who trusts the water, and Yields him.

PLY before he knows it. Only-don t
start trusting too soon in water over
your head. The water is friendly only
when the bather is sensible.
The water is buoyant. That is the
second fact for the would.be swim
mer. The novice is afraid of sinking,
der IL he tries. Let him experiment,
and see how he bobs up again. AS
long as there is breath in his lungs,
he is lighter than water.
But the water will not support any
one who tries to climb out of it. The
swimmer must always remember to
yield himself to the water All pos
sible weight must be beneath the sur
face. Since the head is the heaviest
part of the body. as much of 1t rs pos

In the eleventh book of his "Medi.

ten'pin set, as applicable today as
when he wrote. for human nature Is
much the same now as then.
There lis no man. high or low. rich

Count ten, when you are angry"
Benjamin Franklin said. The Roma n
Emperor asks us to read ten. He
begins;
"If any one has offended against
you. consider first:
What is my relation TO men, and
| that we are made for one another.
Examine the matter from first prin-
| ciples: Ii all things are not mere
atoms, IL Is nature which orders all
things.
IF this is so. the inferior things
exist for the sake of the superior. and
! these for the sake of one another.
Second. consider what kind of men

particularly, under what compulsions
In respect of opinions they are; and
| as TO their acts. consider with what
| pride they do what they do.
| Third. that IL men do rightly what
| they do, We ought not to be dispiea sed
but II they do not right, Ii is plain
that they do so involuntarilY and in
! ignorance. For as every soul is un.

| also is ii unwillingly deprived OF be-
| having TO each man according to his
! deserts. Accordingly men are panied

| ful and greedy. and, in word wrong
doers TO their neighbors.
Fourth. consider that you also do
/ many things wrong. and that you are

Bathing Beach. Good Bye I,

Time for tearing down buildings at

few days-perhaps a few hours-the

mate is that in less than thirty days
not vestige of the land plant of the

But the wreckers will not be able to
knock down memories OF this place
which thousands of the people hold.
The bathing beach will be thought of
gratefully, and even if beaches on the
Virginia side of the river near Key
Bridge and on the Eastern Branch be
authorized by Congress next session
the "old bathing beach" will have a
