GOLDEN RULE
SUNDAY TO Be
OBSER we'd
Nation wide Appeal Is
Broadcast In Behalf Of
Armenian Suf { erers;
WinslOW Aid Asked.

Prominent men interested in the
relief Of poverty and suffering in
the Near East, and who have
banded themselves into an organ
ization called the international
Golden Rule Near East Relief,
are making greater efforts this
year than ever before to have
every city, town and village in this
country observe next Sunday, De-
cember 5th, as Golden Rule Sun
day"
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Henry
Morgenthau, noted banker, and
other prominent men are connect
ed with the society, and a letter
from President Calvin Coolidge,
endorsing the movement and the
observance of Golden Rule Sun
day is enclosed in letters sent out
to various cities.
These letters state the cOndi-
tions under which the brave men
Armenia and other Near Eastern
countries for the relief of hunger,
cold, disease and other suffering,
and ask for nationwide approval
and help. One of the letters was
received this week by Mayor A. E.
Gillard, and called forth the pro-
clamation printed below. The pro-
clamation explains the purpose OF
the Golden Rule Sunday:
Office OF the Mayor
November 80, 1926.
To the Citizens of Winslow:
December 5th is International
Golden Rule Sunday. 1t is spon-
sored by President Coolidge and
by leaders of all faiths and call
ings. A representative National
Committee urges our participation
in it's observance and l am glad To
endorse their request.
Golden Rule Sunday is most APP
propriately placed midway be-
tween Thanksgiving and Christ
mas It's purpose is two-fold: TO
awaken us to a greater apprecia+
ton of ou1N own blessings, and
emphasize cur responsibility to
the less fortunate in all parts of
the world.
The central idea of the days OBJ
servance is the substitution OF a
simple and meager "Orphanage'
meal in place of our usual bounti-
full Sunday dinner. In doing this
the plight of the destitute in the
worlds poorest lands is made more
real to us and to our children.
To the orphaned children who
are the beneficiaries of Golden
Rule Sunday the recent earth
quakes in Armenia have brought
additional suffering. 1t is evident
that unless we help these children
they will perish. l therefore hope
that International Golden Rule
Sunday will be observed in every
home in our city.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS DECEMBER
MEETING MONDAY

Plans for an intensified adver.
tising campaign for Winslow, to be
handled by the Commercial Club
on a direct mail basis with illus
trated folders will be laid before
the commercial body at their regu-
lar December meeting to be held
Monday night in the City Hall.
Since it is believed that the tour
ist season of 1927 will open earlier
than in former years. the club S
officers wish to prepare in advance
to offer transients more than the
usuak cOurtesies and accomOda-
tions
The secretary of the club has
been kept busy since the club re-
organized, answering corresponds
ence relative to Winslow and the
surrounding country. These let
ters received range all the way
from requests of scholars who are
studying the region from distance
to merchants in other towns who
wish to locate here.
One of the most important COM
muncatiOnS to be handled was one
from an internationally known firm
Of map experts, who issue hundreds
of thousands of tourist and road
maps every year The letter con-
tanned clipping from their new
map series, which gave some err
roneous information concerning
Winslow The missive asked for
corrections or additions to the par
agraph, which is to be incorporat-
ed in the maps for 1927.
The clipping as it stood stated
that Winslow was located 80 miles
north Of Prescott, in the center Of
rich agricultural region" No
mention was made of Winslow's
actual location on a great trans
continental highway and on the
main line of the Santa Fe, nor of
the great number of natural won
ders nearby.
The secretary's reply corrected
the location of Winslow, and at the
same time called attention to Wins
lows pivot position in regard to
the Petrified Forest, Painted Desert,
Grand Canyon, Cliff Dwellings,
Tonto Natural Bridge and other
famed sights
Another letter, almost equally
important, was from a printing es-
adjustment which plans to distri-
butte 10000 booklets on cities of the
southwest. This firm asked for a
500 word report on Winslow's at
fractions and resources, and the
report was furnished. With this
matter contained in 10000 booklets
to be wisely distributed among the
travelling public, this locality
should derive d great deal of pub
licity.
Chief among the matters to be
brought to the attention of the club
membership is an invitation from
Miss Margaret X. Stewart, secre-
tary of the fiourishing Flagstaff
Chamber of Commerce, for an in
ter-city meet between Winslow and
Flagstaff Miss Stewart kindly Of
fered to bring this matter before
the Flagstaff club, and stated that
she believed it entirely possible
that that club might motor to
Winslow in full force for such
meeting.
The promotion of stronger ties
between the two clubs will work
out to mutual advantage, probably
more for Winslow, since the other
body has been in force for some
time, is active in promoting Flag
staff's welfare, and has been in
strumental in that city's growth OF
the past few years.

WESTERN DIVISION { CHAMBER COMMERCE
 MEET IN DECEMBER
THREE-DAY CONFERENCE TO BE
 HELD IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19. (P)-A widespread demand for further dis cussion of important Western prob lems has called for the addition of a third day to the program of the West ern Divisional meeting of the Cham Der of commerce of the United States at Colorado Springs. The conference is now scheduled for December 6, 2, and 8.
 The third day, December 8, will be devoted primarily to topics of out standing interest to executives of commercial organizations.
 The development of commercial aviation as dependent upon individual community assistance will be discus sed by R. E. Fisher, director of the California Development Association and chairman of the Aeronautical committee of that organization. Cali fornia-Fisher will show-has already taken the leadership in this new field of transportation progress.
 As the establishment of municipal airports Is considered one of the vital factors of commercial aviation de- velopment, and their standardization of equipment, size and proximity to population centers are gauge of their value, Fisher will ask the cooperation of all states of the Pacific slope in the formulation of a coordinated pro- gram in the advancement of this work.
 The development of the scenic and recreational features of the great West, lauded by many as peerless in
 ~ their diversity and supreme in their magnificance, will be discussed by T. A. Stevenson, manager of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce; H. A. Rhodes, president of Rainier National Park company, and speakers from other parts of the West.
 The theme of this discussion will also be that of cooperative and CO., ordinative development. A compre- hensive schedule of the scenic and re- creational resources together with their potentialities and listing of the comfort facilities care for the tourist will be urged.

RAILROAD REDUCES FARES
 FOR THANKSGIVING TRIPS

Round trip fares for Thanksgiving excursions on the Alaska railroad, will be one and one-third the charge of the one-way fare, according to an announcement by the railroad. The dates of sale of the tickets will be from Nov 21 to 25, inclusive, with the final return limit November 30.
 This ruling applies from and to all stations on the system. Where pas sengers board the trains at non-agen- cy stations, they will be carried to the first agency station where tickets can be obtained from the originating sta- tion to final destination. Stopovers will not be permitted in either direc- ton.
 The New York Trust company points out that increased money wages and, a decline in the price level have contributed toward giv- ing labor today the highest wage in history.

this moment what agricultural bills
are pending or will be introduced be
fore Congress. / assume, however,
that the old McNary- Haugen bill in
one or various forms will soon be
pending before Congress. The Curtis
Aswell bill will be introduced without
destructive variation from its original
character. I have already briefly de-
scribed the merits OF the Curtis-Aswell
bill and its efficacy as IA permanent
cure Of the farming industry's dis
tressful ills. The Mc\ary-fiaugen bill
and all its spawn under various names
Were not conceived in the intere st
per Sc of the American farmer. or. for
the matter of that, in the highest in
terests Of American institutions. ! do
not accuse the supposed and alleged
authors of these various bills which
have been introduced or will be intro
duced of knowing the evils their
measures are fraught with. When l
say that their bills III the main are
un-American, undemocratic and dis
eliminating against the farmer as a
citizen and a business man ! have
said enough TO show my honest opin-
ion of them.
Q. For more than % years in
American politics there has been aei-
.tation by the farmer. He has been
the center of a great deal of radical
ism. There has hardly been an cleo
ton of a President in which the issue
of grangerism, etc. did not actively
figure.
A. That is true, and It is natural
that what you say about 1t should
exist. The farming industry is the
base upon which our entire business
and industrial life rests In its activi-
ties and output in money value It ex-
ceeds those Of any dozen of our other
industries combined. Then why
should not the farmers keep u sharp
eye on political trends and move
ments? But L deny that the farmer

DENIES THAT FARMER IS PROSPEROUS

Economists have said that
last year was the best year
on the American farm since
the war; that the Farmer
had paid off a lot OF his
mortgages; that he was
buying more from the mail
order houses and putting in
more farming implements
than at any time since the
armistice and that another
such year would put him on
his feet. They also said that
it looked as if the farmers
would have almost as good
a year this year.
B. F. Yoakum, president
of the St. Louis and San
: Francisco Railroad, who has
devoted many years to a
study of the farmers ills,
says that the farmer is not
only not prosperous but that
his condition is getting
worse.

Scientist Declares Man Always Stood
AS Erect Biped From Time of Origin

Man stood on hts own legs. weak
kneed though he was, from the time
of his origin, for as DIR. Dudley J. Nor
ton Of the department of surgery Of
Yale University told members of the
American Anthropological Association
fossil evidence shows that an erect
posture has existed In the anthropoid
ape stem as far back possibly as the
Oligocene.
"Of all the great apes, the CHM
panzee, the gorilla, the orang and Glib
bon. the slender and agile gibbon il
the only one who has preserved good
proportions between leg and body. al
though this fact is obscured by its
long, strong arms" DR.. Morton said.
1T is an Ell ect, running, tailless biped,
both in the trees and on the ground.
The other apes have long. powerful
arms, shoulders and chests, weak pei
Wis and short legs, which show that
they are predominantly treeclimbing.
Tree life may have enabled animals
to develop the upright posture, DR..
Morton explained, for all animals
which are familiar with tree life, or
come from comparatively recent ar
boreal ancestry, assume erect, squat
ting position easily and habitually.
But all the arboreal animals but the
primates, to which man belongs, are
nevertheless essentially quadrupeds,
for their thighs are not extended as
in man.
1.-THE ancient apes walked better
than the modern ones" DR.. Morton
said. THE antiquity Of the erect pos
ture in this line Of creatures and the
recognition of the physical changes
that hand locomotion in trees will
bring about show that the quadruped
posture must have resulted from the
enfeeblement of the legs from under
use and the bad balance of the upper
part Of the body from overdevel0p-
ments
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-01-03

Just as the long arms of the apes
were due to their tree-climbing habits,
so the greater leg development in man
resulted from his habit of walking on
the ground. There must have been a
time. DIR. Morton believes, when this
development had gone about half way
when the arms and legs Of both groups
were Of the same length. Such a con-
dition, he thinks, would be the point
where the ape and human stem sepa-
rated.
ITO the original human creature
erect standing on the ground was q
real physical effort in spite Of his pre-
vious experience Of tree ife," DR.. Nor
ton said. Without holding on to
something it would have been ex-
tremely difficult to stand for long
time"
Their feet were all toes and there
was no heel to support the body
weight. Their knees were still bent
and their hips partly f1exed and the
spine bent forward at the shoulders.
The perfect body pose Of modern man
was of slow development. in which
great changes took place in the feet,
legs. hips. spine and other parts of the
body.
The entire human body, DR.. Morton
said, has become remodeled on a CEN
trail axis plan, and that weight of diff
ferent parts of the body is so balanced
that only slight muscular effort Is
needed to maintain the equilibrium Of
the whole. Man is the only animal to-
day that grows straight up like. a lily
on q stem.
"Arboreal man, as a tree-Hving hui
man being must be considered a
myth" DR.. Morton said, "for the char
acteristics which definitely mark the
human being as man are ones which
are associated with terrestrial biped-
ism. The tree-living habits must have
been given up long before the skeletal

farming indicates plainly that the
farmer is the victim of combina-
ton that reaches into politics. The
combination against him, however,
Is more economic than political. 1t
just so happens that the Republican
party has complete control OF the
two branches of Government which
bear down directly upon the economic
life OF the nation. Were the Demo
cratic party In control of the Gov
eminent l do not pretend TO know
whether the farmers terribly dis
tressed condition would fare any
better.
Must Control Distribution.
Q. What is your solution OF the
farming situation?
A. 1t is contained in the Curtis
Aswell bill. In brief. my solution Is
for Congress TO grant Federal char
ter under which the farmers would
control the distribution factor Of their
great business as well as the produc-
ton factor, Just as every other Big
industry now controls both of these
essential factors of successful and
prosperous commerce. Under the
present loose, Anticipated and uneco-
nomic system of distribution the
farmer or producer receives return
of less than a third OF the wealth he
produces. while the organized distribu-
tors get more than two-thirds of the
dollar paid by the ultimate consumer
for the farmers products. The fact
that the farmer gets such a small pro-
portion of the consumers dollar &C.
counts directly for his financial dis
tress. He has been operating at loss
for so long a time that he is now fac
ing bankruptcy.

merits and dement's of the bills of the
major farm bills now pending before
