MAN WITHOUT AN
 APPENDIX FOUND
May Determine if Organ Is
 Useful t0 Mankind

Chicago, Feb. s (E9 --- A man without an appendix has been found, Dr. W. A. Newman. Dor land. widely known Chicago phy- sician, the Gorgas Memorial insti- ute announced today.
 The institute believes the dis. covcry is important in it's bearing upon the question whether the ap- pendix performs any useful func- tion within the body. Dr. Dorland thinks the appendix would not be present so consistently if 1t did no, have q job.
 Complete absence of inc ap- pendiX is rare in man." he ex- plains. "but it is common in such animals as the dog or cat. Tn" persistence of the appendix In man, although varying from a halt-inc:, to nine inches in length, and through varying in form and strul- turc, is a strong argument for it's functional importance.
 Biology informs us that parts Of the body which no longer are required, cease to h" produced. Thick hair covered the bodies Of our ancestors, the pre-Adamitic men. 1f 1t persists after birth it is called atavism; and II is possible that a similar reversion to type may explain that presence Of the appendix providing it has no func. ton.
 "rhe presence Of ataVistic trat.s is believed by some scientists 10 in- dicate a certain degree of degen- eraCy. But there are certain body parts like the little finger and lit tie toe. which are passing away, and these vestiges are not signs of degoneracy. They are result of the influences Of environment. The presence Of the appendix cannot, therefore, be regarded as q sign of degeneracy. Ii may be a passing part, exactly like the little finger"
 Dr. Dorland is a professor in tho post graduate medical college and the Chicago Medical school, and i> the author of many books on medi- cal subjects,

That he was at heart a Christiau we may well believe. That his re- lgious life was real; that his spirit nal experience was genuine, can here be demonstrated.
 Returning then 10 that oracle spoken hy the prophet, let us judge this man Lincoln literally. in tho light of our age-old definition Of re- lgion:
 What doth the Lord require
 of thee, but 10 do justly, and
 to love mercy, and to walk
 humbly with thy God?"
 The first qualification Of rcligi- ous man, we note, is that he shall do justly
 Upon this score, there can be TO doubt! From his boyhood days, Honest Abe Lincoln acted as arbitcr or umpire in all the contests of strength or will in his vicinity! He always saw both sides Of question, his own and the other fellow g. He played fair with generous margin. Though he never attended school for more than six weeks, he read law most conscientiously, and was admit ted to the bar in Illinois. And success fully practiced his profession for twenty years previous to his election in 1860. He seemed 10 enjoy the very atmosphere Of the court house

BRUTAL SLAYINGS
 BATTLING POLICE
Girls Body Found Encased in
 Mass of Ice

Faulboro, x. J.. Feb. s Rs-Con- fronted with one of the most baf- fling mysteries they have faced In years, county authorities expended all their energies today towards learning the identity of the young woman whose scantily clad body was found cncased in n cake of ice float ing in the Delaware river near hero yesterday.
 The result of a post mortem eX- animation, Coroner Adams said, showed that the young woman, whose age vas believed 10 havo been between @j and 80 years, was mur- dered. The girls skull was frac- turcd, he added, and other evidence was found tending 10 show that the girl was dead before the body was thrown into the water. He said 1t was quite possible that she had been thrown overheard from some vessel. number of which are constantly passing up and down the river.
 Youth Finds Body
 John koehler, a youth Of Billings port, near here, discovered the ice covered body while walking along the river with two companions. When taken from the water. it was necessary 10 use axes 10 free the body. A religious emblem, com monly worn by Roman Catholics, hung about the neck, but other than this no jewelry or other marks of Identification were found.
 Coroner Adams said it was diff cult 10 tell at this time of the year how long the body had been in the water, particularly since it had been so well preserved in the ice. He be- lieved. however, that the girl had been dead from two to four weeks.
 Police last night broadcast re- scriptions of tho girl 10 nearby cities and towns, but so far no one an- swerng the description was reported as missing,
