would think to look at this boat that
there never was any revolution. One
understands how the cars Russia
built these boats; let, peasants ride
with cattle and freight; it is all the

that work for your party Yacheka,
comrade"
The poor sailor stammered some
thing about the administration mot

Turkestan lady. when they travel,

government itself deceiving the work
ers. Tell me, comrade, if I spend
seven nights and days going to Astra-
kan, where the weather gets hotter
every day and the boat has no venti-
lation,-will it be a vacation or shall
l need month in sanitarium to
rest afterwards? -. And does it
cost much on boat to cut few more

So Goes the Work.
THE unhappy secretary was non
l. plussed. A sailor all his life, what
did he know of ventilation. Always
the peasants had Travelled thus on the
river, making no complaint But this
was a party member and an educa-
tional worker. She knee about venti-
lation and better ways Of living. Yes,
there might be something in it. 1t
was quite true that one must get rid
of the dark ways!
Such is the network of Communist
Party activity that spreads across the
whole of the Soviet Union, active
in work and in vacations, talking
freely with new-found party comrades,
demanding, holding up standards, in
tensely responsible for the building up
of all life in the Republic.

that, in my opinion, 1t is of the great
est importance, not only for the gen.
eral theory of evolution, but also for
psychology, anthropology, and aesthet-
les.
My own feeble early efforts (1S66),
not only to establish the descent of
man from the nearest related apes,
but also to determine more precisely
the long series of our earlier and lower
vertebrate ancestors had not at all
satisfied me. In particular, had had
to leave unanswered in my General
Morphology" the very interesting
question: from which inyertebrate ami
mails the vertebrate stem originally
came. A clear and unexpected light
was thrown on it some time after
wards by the astounding discoveries
OF Kowalevsky, which revealed an es-
sential agreement in embryonic devel-
opment between the lowest vertebrate
(amphioxus) and a lowly tunicate
(ascidia). In the succeeding years
the numerous discoveries in connec-
ton with the formation of the germi-
nal layers in different animals so
much enlarged our embryological out
look that was able to prove the
complete homology of the two-layered
gastrula Ga cup-shaped embryonic
form in all the tissue.forming ami
mails (metazoa) in my Monograph on
the Sponges." From this | inferred,
in virtue of the biogenetic law, the
common descent of all the metazoa
from one and the same gastrula.
shaped stem-form, the gastroea. This
hypothetical stem-form, 10 which mans
earliest multicellular ancestors also
belong, was afterwards proved by.
Monticellis observations to be still in
existence. The evolution Of these
very simple tissue-forming animals
from still simpler unicelluar forms
(protozoa) is shown by the cores

IF only products cost now what they
used to cost, what would we do with
all our money. We would live like
merchants. But then" he added rue
fully, ''if products cost less, that means
somebody else gets less, and in the
end we would all get less. They both
laughed at this elementary political
economy, and the secretary went on to
tell me of the propaganda work among
the passengers, when meetings were
held on the fourth class deck.
1T is very hard work." he said.

In view of the very great Importance
Of this pithecoid theory, we will cast
a brief glance at it's founders and
then summarize the proofs in support
of it. The famous French biologist,
Jeon Lamarck, was the first scientist
definitely to affirm the descent of man
from the ape and seek to give scien-
tific proof of it. In his splendid work.
fifty years in advance Of his time, the
"Philosophie Zoologique" (1SO9), he
clearly traced the notifications and
advances that must have taken place
in the transformation of the man-like
apes (the primate forms similar to
the orang and the chimpanzee) the
adaptation to walking upright, the con-
sequent modification of the hands and
feet, and later, the formation of
speech, and the attainment Of a higher
degree Of intelligence. Lamarck's re-
markable theory, and this important
consequence of it, soon fell into OBJ
,ivion. When Darwin brought evolu-
lion to the front again fifty years
afterward, he paid no attention to the
special conclusion. He was content to
make the following brief prophetic OBJ

NOTES FROM IRELAND

(The following notes were CLEANED
from the Voice of Labor, organ Of
the Irish Transport and General
Workers Union and the Hammer and
Plough, mimeographed organ issued
by the Workers Party of Ireland, with
our Commercially
THE Hammer and Plough tells us
4 that American coal is being un
loaded in Irish Free State ports and
that the unloading is done by mem
bers Of the Irish Transport and Gen
eral Workers Union and also by mem
bers Of the Workers Union of ireland,
known as "Larkin's Union" The
term "blackleg" is applied to the coal
lockers. 1t is regrettsble that union
men should mine, load and unload
coal, when by so doing they help the
employers break strike, but II 1t is
henious for union men TO unload coal
intended for consumption in Ireland
how much more criminal IL is for
American and European miners. dock
ers and transport workers TO dig,
haul and load coal for England? And
how many times more henious It is
for English lockers and railwaymen
to haul coal to the English market
while their comrades In the coal fields
are fighting for their existence. The
Hammer and Plough remarks that the
I. T. and G. w. U. is notorious for
blacklegging, remark that indicates
more zeal than regard for accuracy.
Such wild and WOODY charges never
serve useful purpose and should be
put In the cannery.
