GLOOMY
OVER. SHIPPING
SITUATION
Hundreds of Steamers Idle,
AS Result of Collapse of
Overseas Trade
BY CHARLES A. SMITH
international News Service

LONDON, July 2S.-In common
with that of other countries, the
British shipbuilding industry and
the shipping trade itself in Britain
are in a state Of acute coma at
the present moment, according to
views expressed by well-known Eng
lish shipping magnates.
In the words of Sir John Latta,
one of the largest ship owners in
England, ''the English shipping
trade has never been worse, while
the immediate outlook is black IN
the extreme"
Every British port has its tale of
unemployment and idle ships, while
nearly every harbor or roads on
the British coast is full of voorhees,
ships. AS the visitor to England
proceeds up the Mersey to Liver
pool, or up Southampton Water to
the port of Southampton, his eye
meets lines and lines of freighters,
tramp steamers, liners Of all sizes,
and tankers tied up to wharvesi or
swinging idly out Of the way of in
coming and outgoing shipping.
Ships in all States of disrepair.
some covered entirely with rust,
and the whole presenting truly
depressing spectacle.
In the River Tyne, England
third largest shipping Mecca,
there are 1T steamers lying idle,
with a gross tonnage of over 2O3,-
900 tons, double the tonnage of
the vessels lying idle at this time
in 1924.
Owners of tramp steamers are
the hardest hit by the depression,
according to eminent authorities.
The complete collapse of the River
Plate trade during the past few
years has deprived the tramp"
owners of their chief source of en-
ployment, says Sir John Latta.
Scores of ships have thus been
thrown idle, and there is no other
market to absorb them.

APE DISCUSSION
IS RACING IN
ENGLAND
Britons Contend missing
Link" in Evolution Has
Been Found
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH
international News Service

LONDON, July 28-While the
United States is still discussing its
Tennessee monkey trial, Great
Britain is having a little monkey
controversy Of it's own.
Americans argued for and against
the theory of evolution, while
Britons are contending whether the
missing link in evolution of man
has been found.
Some months ago Professor Dart,
of South Africa, announced the
discovery of a Taung's skull, and
claimed that he had unearthed the
skull of the missing link The
claim was almost undisputed until
Sir Arthur Keith, famous English
anthropologist, took issue with Pro
fessor Dart.
Writing in Nature, Sir Arthur
Keith said that in his opinion, the
Taungs skull found by Professor
Dart was that of a young anthro.
poid ape, and the claim that the
missing link" had been found was
"preposterous."
In far away Johannesburg, Pro.
lessor Dart had Been quick to
spring to his own defense.
lone of the reasons why scien.
| tIEts cannot appreciate the Taung s
| skull" said Professor Dart, lis be-
cause they do not know Africa An
ape would be exhausted after run
ming one hundred yards. He must
have trees. No ape could have
/ lived on our bare plains and rolling
hills.
THE Taung's skull was found
outside the equatorial forest belt,
and scientists have proved that
climatic conditions in Africa have
remained the same for thousands
OF years.
1.-The skull is the most wonderful
fossil yet discovered. 1t is not a
collection of scattered bones that
I ad to be deliberately reconstructed,
but is unusually complete In ad-
tiition, there is an entire cast OF
the brain.
THE face of the Taung man is
more pushed in and human tnan
that of the modern ape, and. the
st of the brain bears out the con.
clusions drawn from the shape Of
the face.
Both face and brain are exactly
what could have been expected OF
rhe ape which left the forests for
the plains and had been forced to
use his wits to escape the wild
animals and other dangers sur
rounding him"
Thus British scientists are torn
on the question of monkeys, as arc
the sects of the United States.

WHIPPING POST
REVIVAL ST|RS
FREDERICK
Town Divided Over Bringing
Back Old Form of Cor
poraI Punishment
BY CARL l.. TURNER
international News Service

FREDERICK, Md, July 2S.-Thts
QUAINT little town, made famous by
the daring of Barbara Freitchie in
her encounter with Stonewall Jack
son, Is divided on the advisability
Of again invoking the ancient
statute providing for punishment at
the whipping post.
Recently Magistrate Guy X.
Motter sentenced Robert .Shroyer,
twenty-eight. alleged wife-beater, to
he dashed ten times at the post.
Sheriff I. w. Albaugh, using a
regulation blacksnake whip, exc.
cuted the sentence.
The young husband took the
whipping without protest. for the
sentence was in strict accordance
with a State law. After shaking
hands with the sheriff who inflicted
the punishment, Shroyer departed
for home and the wife he is ac-
cused of beating.
1t was the first time in. twelve
wears, according to court attaches,
that the whipping post had been
used in punishment for wrong-doing
Frederick where the aged Mrs.
Freitchie poked her head out OF
a second story window in the home,
holding in her unsteady hand a
tattered American flag that had
been shot from its staff by Con-
federate troops, is law-abiding com
munity. This is attested by the
police blotter.
The same respect for law pre-
walls as Jackson's men had for his
orders. which saved the Civil War
heroine from being riddlcd with
bullets after her historic speech:
Shoot, if you must. this old
gray head, but spare your country's
flag
However, some of the younger
generation have raised the question
of whether Frederick should have
punished the wife-beater by in
voking the whipping-post law. 1t
is pointed. out that Shroyer, if
guilty, might better have been SEN
fenced to six months at hard labor
and the proceeds from his toiling
turned over to the unfortunate
wife.
Others contend there could have
been no fairer punishment, stand
ing by the doctrine Of IAN eye for
an eye"
