WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Amers
lean peasants will till the soil on our
American farms some day.
This is the conclusion reached by
William Edward Dodd, professor Of
American history at the University
of Chicago, who recently talked TO
the American Association of Uni:
versity Women here on the subject
Of the farmers problems,
Professor Dodd says 1t seems to
him inevitable that the development
OF an American peasantry will come
about, first since it has been only
the tillers of the soil who have not
been granted Especial privileges"
under our economic system, and sec
ond, because the history of every
land shows that definite classes
which know their places and stay
in them are finally crystallized out
of the various human chemical mix
lures in a new country.
The successful farmer today, he
says, is not really farmer at all,
but a business man with employees
and tenants doing the work for him.
When one group of American
citizens got the farmers to under
write them by tariff laws and such,
he says, it was violation Of the
special privileges to none" part Of
the United States Constitution.
Eventually the railroads were under
written and labor proceeded to take
care Of itself. Should the farmer
now get what he is after, there win
be on one without privileges, and
therefore no ono with privileges.
"In other words" says Professor
Dodd, ''if you give the farmer what
he asks, he'll be ruined, because Of
the way the other groups will react
and if you don't give it to him, he's
ruined any way"
Therefore, Dodd sees the last
stand being made for the American
standard of living for farmers. He
doesn't think they will ever get IT,
file thinks those who want that
standard win get off the farms and
a peasantry which won't demand It
will take over the tilling of the soil.

Silent on Divorce
Silent on Divorce

Stillman, who describes himself as
Mrs. Stillman's spokesman" con-
tinues to decline to confirm or deny
that they are reconciled or that they
are going to Paris to arrange a
quick and easy divorce minus the
publicity which has shone fiercely
on their marital difficulties in Amer
lea for several years. Mrs. Stillman
thoroughly acquiesces in her hus-
bands program Of discouraging in
innate publicity.
But he scarcely needs to confirm
that there is a reconciliation. Every
act of himself and wife points quite
clearly to a new found happiness
and an earnest effort to forget past
crammed with improved charges
against Mrs. Stillman and dark an
swering claims against him.
The former banker, who hitherto
has kept aloof from newspapermen,
has been cordial in his reception of
the writer, but adamant in his re-
fusal to reveal any OF the innermost
secrets of the new reconciliation. He
protested not to understand the pub
lies interest in the journey and
added:

Dine Together
Sunday right the Stllmans dined
together in the restaurant, avoiding
the general dining room. To the
few observers in the restaurant, they
extremely happy as they
laughed and chatted. After dinner,
they retired to his stateroom and
held an extensive conference.
The Stillman reconciliation is for
those passengers still on good sea
legs the one topic Of conversation.
Thrilled" fiappers find this new
romance even more absorbing than
their own budding romances while
the sewing circles drop many a
stitch discussing the pros and cons.
On Saturday night the Stillmans
avoided the ball room, where the
Charleston was in full swing and re-
tired from the restaurant early.
Sunday morning the Stillmans
arose at 10 a. m. and Mrs. Stillman
spent some time in the Turkish
bath. They did not attend divine
services. Instead, Stillman spent
the morning in studying some
papers.
Stillman's desk is filled with books
and magazines and he gives every
evidence of seeking to forget bust
ness during his second honeymoon.

PRIM tive RACE
OF CAVE MEN TO
BE SOUGHT SOON
Scientists to Invade Africa
to Find Worlds Most
Primitive People.

CAPETOWN, South Africa, Feb.
S.-Government scientists soon are
to penetrate q hitherto UNEMPLOYED
coastal region ef Africa to search for
a dying race of primitive cave
jewellers. These Isolated savages are
estimated to be a million years be-
hind the civilization Of the modern
world. They are a holdover from the
stone age. Their home is in the
region between Walsh Bay and the
kunene River
Evidence of the cave dwellers'
presence was collected and brought
here by a scientific expedition headed
by DIR. c. E. Cadle of Denver, Colo.
Cadle was guided by Donald Balm. a
famous African Hunter. The evil
dence caused a sensation.
The explorers told a story related
to them, they said, by many re-
sponsible tribal leaders in the Kala-
hari desert region through which
they passed. The tribesmen said q
race OF men still lived as before the
dawn of history beyond the hundred
mile stretch of desert which sepa-
rates the cave jewellers from the
more primitive Kalahari bushmen.
The Kalahari themselves are regard
ed as wild animals by the Hottentot
and Bantu natives.
It is possible that the cave jewellers
do not even talk. The most print
tive Of the Kalahari bushmen were
described as scarcely human by Ca
die and Balm.
4 Most Primitive
"They are the most primitive peo-
pie in the world except for the sup
posedly lost tribe on the coast" said
Cadle. 'TheY are stunted. almost
inhuman, devouring mice, lizards,
ant eggs, flying ants and snakes.
They wear only a zebra skin apron.
Their drink they suck through reeds
from stagnant pools Of water."'
The Kalahari speak a language
consisting OF only seven basic
sounds, varied in tone to express
their emotions. Some of the women
dig roots for food while the men
follow the nobler lions, hoping to
steal their dead prey or to rob the
vultures Of what they leave. They
have developed a paleolithic art and
draw crude representations Of ami
mails on the walls of their caves,
whose entrances are hidden from
providers by boughs.
Kill Babies
Members of the Cadle expedition
observed the more primitive Kala-
hari from neighborhgco hills, for
the bushmen even flee from other
savages. Although the observations
were difficult, something was learned
of the strange creatures. They rear
only a few children, Cadle was told
by other natives, killing such un-
wanted children as may survive the
ordinary hardships Of life. When a
Kalashari mother dies before her
child Ia wuaned. the child Is buried
alive with its mother.

Former President of the American

DROBABLY the most brilliant
Il sanitarian and one of the
most elective health teachers in
England is Sir George Newman,
the effective executive of the de-
partment of public health in the
British cabinet.
In a recent utterance he empha-
sized that the maintenance and
improvement of public health de-
pend not only upon the efforts
of tlloses who practice sanitary sci
ence but upon the efforts of the
whole people.
Disease is not something out
side the body which man has to
fight, but it is the disturbance
of the harmony that ought to
exist between the body and its
environment.
The object of all health work is
to fortify man against reactionary
influences, to acclimatize it to
them. to modify the environment
. TO suit the man, or to modify man
TO suit an environment when it
cannot be changed. This is the
whole scope of preventive medi-
cine.
Housing. water supply, drain
ing, wholesome and sufficient
food and industrial hygiene are
to create sanitary environment.
Human nurture, the maternity
service, infant welfare and child
hygiene are designed to build a
healthy race.
