The Lanes of philadelphia.

A wealthy Philadelphia recently
died. leaving a memory of many bene-
factions conferred upon his fellow
townsmen, many gifts to the poor,
donations to institutions and works
of public merit. He was one of the
most highly esteemed residents OF the
City Of Brotherly Love. So prominent
was he, so much respected, that in the
course OF years n good many boy
babies had been named for him, either
by his full name of David H. Lane, or
David or Lane. 1t now develops from
his will, just probated, that he has left
a fund from which will be paid to
each boy who prior to his decease had
been thus given his name in whole or
in part, the sum of $500. 1t is expect
ed that several hundred claims will be
filed against the estate on this score.
But just think Of the number OF claim
ants IL David II. Lane had given any
,intimation during his lifetime Of such
a purpose. The Davids and the Lanes
Of the rising generation Of Philadel-
phians would have been as the sands
Of the shore, the leaves Of the forest.
Perhaps it was the height Of wisdom
for him to conceal his beneficent in.
tention from public knowledge.

Would Erect Homes
With Retirement Fund
To the Editor Of The Starr

To the Editor Of The starr
In your editorial OF today dis

Ing among other statements appears:
Secretary Hoover makes the apt
suggestion that Il Congress will pass
the bill which provides for the sffi-
cial housing In .Government-owned
buildings OF the department now in
rented quarters the Government will
release for dwelling use several
large. priyately-owned apartment
storehouses. =
Doubtless the adoption of this sug-
gestion would prove helpful in solv-
ing this vexatfous question.
Would 1t not also prove helpful in
the same dit rection II Congress au-
thoriyed and directed the Secretary
Of tho Treasury to apply a. portion
OF sths civil service retirement fund,
now amounting to n early $50, 600, 900,
to the erection Of suitable buildinGs
for the accommodation OF both active
and retired civil service employees;
the rents to be derived therefrom to
be credited to said fund. According
to expert authority, 1t will be many
years before the Government will be
called upon to contribute a dollar to-
ward the civil service retirement
fund. Meantime to what better use
could it be put. that is a portion of
1t, than to aid in solving the rent
problem, especially when the amount

cases scientists have disagreed, some
holding that the skull was that of a
savage man, or even man of the
usual civilization of his time, or the
skull OF a subnormal man. or that it
was the skull of an ape. In the case
of the few bones found in Java and
assumed by some authorities as hav-
ing belonged to a creature to which
those authorities gave the name pithi-
canthropus erectus, discussion was
very active in the 90s, and 1t seems
that even today anthropologists have
not agreed that the Java bones were
those Of the missing link.
The latest discoverer Of one of these
strange and very old skulls is quoted
as saying that the creature Of which
this was the skull, while not human,
was yet more intelligent than the 60
rilla or chimpanzee and must be re-
garded rather as a manlike ape than
as an apelike man." There will prob
ably be lively discussion Of the
Bechuanaland skull until the finding
of another skull which has manlike
and apelike points of resemblance.
There must always be a large element
Of speculation and conjecture in dis
cussion Of these skulls.

Start Building at Once!

Objection is raised in the Senate to
the s150,O00.OoO public buildings bill
that it carries no appropriations, and,
moreover, that it will not permit any
of the money specified to be spent in
the District until 1927. Senator
Smoot. who is an earnest advocate of
n definite and immediate building pro.
gram for the Government at the Cap
ital, proposes amendments that will
cause the measure, if enacted, to be
lieve the federal needs here in Wash.
ington.
The principle Of the omnibus bill as
passed by the House the other day is
principle as that underlying the pro.
posed s50,000,O00 five-year building
bill for Government needs in the Dis.
trict. It budgets the building pro.
gram Of the Government, enlarging ii
to cover Federal needs throughout the
country. Argument is not needed,
however, to demonstrate that the most
urgent need in public building con.
struction is felt here. Every one of
the departments is today suffering
from lack of space for clerical work
and for the filing and preserving of
documents essential in the proper con.
duct Of the Governments business.

little, or no contention over the title

than this country were Great Britain

is true seems to have been recognized
by this country by Its entering into
a treaty to quiet Cuba's sovereign

heapfng disgrace upon the United

Ono dissenting voice comes from

Islands are islands these days. And
with Heligoland and Guam as sad
examples, America can Ill afford to
give up carelessly what we may need
later. :. Future war and its methods
is unpredictable. We cannot know

The Works.
We say that folks frivol with bubbles
and dance.
And life has become insincere;
The earnest endeavor has scarcely O
- chance,
In pathways by duty made clear.
But the lamps are aglow in the city
so great
Dispelling the shadows that lurk
Where the buildings grow taller
and so we may state
That somebody's doing the work.
There are ships on the sea, there are
ships in the sky; =
There are students whose ton is OBJ
scure;
There are marbles and pictures to
gladden. the eye;
There's patriot purpose secure.
Though reckless the rhythm mid fes;
Where pleasure all care seems to
We know that while many seem only
at play
Somebody is doing the work.

Bechuanaland Skull.

Renewal Of the discussion of a pos
sibility Of relationship between man
and ape Is imminent. Periodically
accounts come Of the finding of skulls
regarded as of human and simian
character. The latest Of these finds is
in Bechuanaland, Africa, and the
finder has given the name Austral-
opithecus Africanus to the being or
the thing to which it belonged in life.
Two eminent English scientists are
quoted as expressing faith in the sci
entifc knowledge Of Prof. Raymond
Dart, the finder Of this skull, and one
Of them, who has not seen the skull
or the deposit where it was found,
says he believes that the relic "be-
longs to a period twice as long before
the Piltdown and Java skulls as the
latter were before ourselves"
Several skulls have been found in
far-apart regions which have stimu-
