From jungle to Main Street

From jungle to Main Street
n NUR circumstances have been changing
faster than human nature has been
~ progressing. Material wealth has piled
up faster than mental and moral
worth The outward evolution of society has
been more rapid than the inner adjustment of
man to his new world. The cave man has
found himself on Main street in modern
world, but he 'still bears many of the charac-
terlstlcs of the jungle.
Millions of Europeans have crossed the
Atlantic but did not know that they were
crossing three centuries at the same time. Our
native stock has been pulled out of pioneer
conditions and transplanted into modern
world of mechanical genius and applied sci
ence. A large per cent of our people have not
been able to keep pace with the rapidly chang
ling world. AS result of what the scientists
call our biological inadaptability TO meet new
conditions" we have a certain and dangerous
number of IMPOSED persons in the world today
They have not adjusted themselves to their
new conditions and some are nervous and some
bolt toward crime. Some become confused
socially and politically and develop into rabd.
radicals. Many have wealth that they do not
know how to enjoy or Others have the
character and culture to stem the tide of an
onrush of new conditions, but in the shifting
changes of the times find themselves financ-
ally handicapped. The tendency of wages up
ward and of professional incomes downward
has caused social mixture that inevitably
means that thousands of people are social mis-
fits.
Perhaps the most prolific cause of crime
the pleasure mania, the money madness, and
the moral perversion of the age is the fact
that we have not progressed as rapidly in
- wardly, mentally, and morally we have out
wardly increased in wealth and in the multi
plicity of material comforts and convenences

thropology of the u. S. National

zeal Museum to-day asked him to
kindly examine the skull and the
bones recovered from the burial
mound at Cranberry lake. The
single skull which is intact he pro-
nounces typical Algonkian crania
and undoubtedly Chippewa The
bones he found to be those of both
young and adult female and male
Indians, as previously determined
by DR.. Parsons and myself.

will be of interest to you, | remain
Yours truly,

State Historical Museum.
In all of the information gather
ed from the State Historical Soc
iety we have been unable to learn
Just what tribe really inhabited
this section, unless it was the
Chippewas. Early history fails in
telling us definitely just when the
Indian first came to Wisconsin in
this section, and therefore are
somewhat confused with the data
we have gathered in. 1t has been
centuries ago but when?
Can anyone tell us.

Another large sale of Kent county
farm land has been announced, which
is one of the largest, both as to acre
age and consideration, known in Kent
county in recent years. The tract of
land in question is the S. Warren Hall
farm, south of Dover, just beyond
COoper's Corner, toward MOOre's Mill,
on the State Boulevard, leading from
Dover to Milford, containing 325 acres
The purchaser was Elmer P. Horsey,
cashier of the First National Bank of
Dover. These farms, which are a
mile and a quarter south of Dover,
run from the dupont Boulevard back
to st. James River, which is now be-
ing Strengthened and dredged for nav
igation. One of the two natural lotus
lilly beds is included in the transfer.

MANY AUTO LAW BREAKERS
State Police Looking After Motorists
at Dangerous Crossings

"If motorists who have to drive at
night, would be sure to see that the
windshield of their car is clean,
feel sure it would help them in avoid
ing accidents or near-accidents," said
&c. c. Reynolds, superintendent of the
state police last week in discussing
some of the little things that may
help to cause or avoid accidents.
81 have tried it myself" he contin-
ued, "and l find that often if the wind
shield is soiled, it causes a peculiar re-
Election that makes it hard to see we'll
at night.
Another thing that every motorist
at night should do is not look at the
direction, but look more to the right
lights of the car coming in an OppO-
site of his own cars lights. In that
way he will keep more safely on his
own side of the highway and will not
be apt to be so badly blinded tempor-
arily by the lights of the other car"
The chief problem of the state police
just now is to cut down the number of
accidents occurring because of the
construction of lateral or side roads
that join the main highway. One of
the most menacing of these is that at
the juncture of BasOn road with the
state highway.
Motorists going to Deemer's Beach
at night swerve across the main high
way at high speed and with reckless
abandon that has caused many acci-
dents. There have been five accidents
at that point in the past ten days and
the state police are trying their best
to break up the practice of lawbreak-
ers who smash the state statutes
every time they dash out on the main
highway without stopping. The law
calls for them to stop
Apparently the metal sign placed in
the junction of the crOssrOad to the
state highway has done them little
good, because the accidents and near
accidents continue just the same
Other measures are being contemplat-
ed by the state police and highway Of
ficials to try and break up the prac-
tice.

DELAWARE DRY OFFICE PASSES
UNDER NEW ADMINISTRATION
WI. SWANS OFFICE AS HEAD
DELAWARE DRYS, Is NO MORE
Swain Resigned in June - Edmund
Budnitz Now Administrative Head
for Maryland, Delaware and d. c.

Budnitz Now Administrative Head
for Maryland, Delaware and d. c.
State Prohibition Director William
}. Swain automatically ceased to hold
office as the enforcement head in Del
aware at midnight Monday. At the
instant his office passed into the dis
card, Edmund Budnitz of Baltimore
succeeded to the administration of the
prohibition laws in Delaware as we'll
as Maryland and the District of CO.
lumbia. The Delaware field force
continued on the payroll until October
10, when, technically, they will be out
of office. So far as the great major
ity are concerned, the field men will
be retained by the new administrator.
A few may be dropped, but those who
nave a satisfactory record are pretty
apt to remain in the service.
Assistant Prohibition Commissioner
James Phones attached no Importance
to the fact that Mr.. Swain has had
no acknowledgement of his resigna-
ton. According to Internal Revenue
Commissioner Blair's secretary, the
letter should be in Assistant Commits
siOner Jones' Office. Mr.. Jones, how
ever, dismissed the correspondent in
quiry as to the Delaware resignation
with the intimation that it was a
trivial matter. Later, when a second
call upon Mr.. Jones Office was made
his secretary expressed surprise that
Mr.. Swain should not have heard from
his resignation. "There is no reason
why it should have been held up she
said. The secretary agreed to looE
into the files and communicate with
the correspondent, but several hour!
afterwards she had not been hearC
from.
Assistant Commissioner Jones re
vealed that he had taken the troubl,
to telephone Director Swain a few
days before the reorganization pro
gram was launched not to resign, bu
the Delaware director did not hee,
this suggestion and forwarded his res
ignation about three days before tn
new plan became public.
Subsequently, Director Swain wa
in Washington and called at Nh
Jones' office. According to Jones
Swain did not appear to be especiall
interested in continuing at prohibition
enforcement work.
Appointments to office in Distric
No. 6, which takes in Delaware, vii
be made by Mr.. Budnitz, the admin
istrator, from his headquarters j
Baltimore. While the more importan
of these will be submitted to Wash
ington for approval, the announce
ment of appointments will be left t
the administrator.

AMERICAN BANKERS TO MEET
Annual Session of Association This
Year to be Held at Atlantic City


Local bankers have received a com
munication from William f. Knox,
president of the American Bankers
Association, calling their attention to
the unusual Importance Of this years
annual convention of the organization.
Mr.. Knox says in part:
"When a business celebrates its
growth from resources of $3,000,000,-
600 to over S6O,OOO,OO0OO in fifty
years it certainly is an event of great
public significance in American his
tory. This years convention of your
Association at Atlantic City will con-
stitute just such an event. The Amer
ican Bankers Association was organ
lied in 1875 when there were about
5000 banks in the cOuntry,with aggre-
gate capital and surplus of $850,000,
600 and deposits below $4,000, 100000.
Today there are about 10000 banks,
with capital funds of $7,OOO,OOO,OOO
and deposits above $50,00O,00O,000.
More than $4,000 of these banks are
members of your Association.
"The convention signalling the half
century mark will be made the occa-
sion for reviewing the progress of
banking and the services it has rem
dered the people of the United States.
A practical token of this will be given
the public in the form Of a proposed
educational foundation to maintain
college scholarships in. economics and
to promote economic research. Bank
ing serves itself best by serving
others and the more ecOnOmic-minded
it helps our people to become, the
firmer will it build the foundations of
its own prosperity.
another great opportunity will pre-
sent itself at this convention for or
ganized banking to render significant
public service. The present period is
particularly opportune to support the
administration in its economic pro-
gram. Such questions as economy in
public expenditure and scientific taN
revision can be discussed on their in.
trinsic merits without the confusing
factors of campaign partisanship anC
radical agitation. The public spirited
interest of bankers in these question!
can now be made more clearly under
stood and infuentially urged"
The convention will be held at At
lantic City, New Jersey, September 2
to October l. General session ant
divisional meetings will be held on tn,

couch without seeing the owl
perched behind her. AS she raised
