to the writer in Paris. But, oh

with husky swing on the back.
Her success this year probably was
the result of better condition. There
was no truth in the stories that she
didn't train last year, but she was
forced to remain in Girls Nez 50 long
that she became extremely homesick
and her morale, was distinctly affect
ed. Any one who has spent a day
in Girls Nez can appreciate what it
means to exist there for months.

sister and a number OF newspaper
men with whom she became ac-
quainted last year. Gee, boys, 1

but 1 have a regular gang with me

Bill Burgess apparently did a
splendid job in training and coach
ing her. Before he took charge Of
her he said
There isn't so much to this train
ing. Swimmers have to go through
the same routine as fighters or any
other athletes. They have to get
their swimming machinery in good
working order, Of course, and de-
velop their wind, their legs and arm
power and getthemselves accustomed
to cold water. There is difference
in the weight question, Of course;
they have to have a lot of fat on
them without making themselves
sluggish.
From what I have seen of Miss
Ederele, however, she knows plenty
about swimming and has all the nee
essary power. Her handicap may
be a lack of experience, but l think
we can overcome that. If we get

PASTEUR INSTITUTE IN KINDA,
SOUTH AFRICA, TO BE SCENE OF
PRACTICAL EVOLUTION EXPERIMENT

l"IKTE are confident that hybrids can
w be produced, and, in the event we
are successful, the question of the
evolution of man will be established
to the satisfaction of the most dog
matte anti-evolutionists. Orangutans,
chimpanzees and gorillas will be en-
ployed, and possibly gibbons. My orr
ginal idea was that only hybrids from
the gorilla would prove fertile, and
from these alone would it be possible
to produce the complete chain of spe-
cimens from the perfect anthropoid to
the perfect man."
DR.. F. G. Cruikshank of London,
however, author of 1.-THE Mongol in
Our Midst" who has made a minute
anatomical study of the three larger
anthropoids, is convinced that, if the
orang be hybridized with the yellow
race, the gorilla with the black race,
and the chimpanzee with the white
race, all three hybrids will reproduce
themselves. In his opinion each spe-
cies of anthropoid is more closely re-
lated to its corresponding human type
than it is to either of the other an
thropoids. In other words, DR.. Cruik-
shank believes that the chimpanzee
has a closer relationship to the white
race than to the gorilla or the orang.
The gibbon he considers has its CORE
spending human type in the more
brachycephalic peoples of Europe. We
shall proceed along these lines, as /
am now in complete accord with DR..
Cruiksank's views.
Successful in Artificial Fertilization.
"DR. IVANOFF has been most sue.
~ cessful in artificial formulation,
and has crossed many species of ami
mails. Kinda is the natural habitat OF
the gorilla and chimpanzee. 1t is also
and the climate is such that white
scientists can live there without dan
ger of contracting tropical diseases.
The Kinda reservation comprises sew
eral thousand acres and is supported
by an annual appropriation of 10000
francs by the French government.
American Scientists Interested.
"E,REE use OF the laboratories and
4 grounds has been extended to us,
but II will require fund OF 100000

irons of science have become interest

GARY, Ind, July 2.-There are fifty
clippers employed in the Merchant
steel mills here. The clippers must
chip out the cracked portions of the
steel bars. These bars are placed
on a bench by crane.
A compressed air hammer is used
in this work. The hammer weighs
twenty-five pounds. We must handle
this 10 hours day. The new men
not experienced in the handling of
this hammer find that their hands be-
come painfully swollen after a days
work.
For doing this hard work the com
pany which brags about how it takes
care of its workers, refuses to give
each worker a locker for his clothes
Two or three workers must put their
clothes together or else go without
box. The wash rooms are dirty.
The company allows no time for the
workers to wash up. They must
either do it on their own time or go
home dirty.

Neely's speech was the most say

the republicans sat silent while he
denounced in unmeasured terms all
the participants in the senatorial con-

While Nicely was speaking in the
senate, Rep. Schaefer, republican, of
Wisconsin, was demanding in the
house that Ware be expelled from
congress.
''Mere expulsion of Ware from the
senate" said Schaefer, should he be
elected, would not be enough. He
ought to be expelled from the house
if the charges against him are borne
out. Why does not the administra-
