To the Editor OF The Star.
In The Evening Star OF April l3 is an
interesting report of an interview with
Or. James W Gidley of the United
States National Museum on the subject
Of Pleistocene man in Florida.
DR. Gidley has had the good fortune
TO find bones and flint implements Of
man in q formation usually believed to
belong to the Pleistocene epoch.
This deposit Is known in geological
and anthropological discussions as NO.

with some muck. and contains many
bones OF large extinct animals DR.
Gidley is 70 be congratulated on his
discoveries. for they demonstrate the
futility OF the lahored augmentation
INDUCED in by various geologists an
thropologists and paleont0logtsts in 1917
in their efforts to discredit the presence
Of man in stratum No. o. at Vero. Fla.
I note with some interest that Dr.
Gidley gives this stratum 10 the late
Pleistocene. This indicates some en-
couraging change OF. view. About one
year ago be returned from those regions
and announced that these deposits be-
longed not improhably 10 the early

were given for that sequence and there

The writer believes that DR.. Gidley

his discoveries. / may be pardoued for
mentioning the fact that In three VOL

tocene of North America and In papers

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN.

@. When was wheat first grown?-
c. A. II.
A. No one knows the age Of wheat.
History refuses to give US the date
OF It's origin. We are told that the
Chinese used wheat for food 2,700
years before the Christian era, and that
1t has been known on the uplands
OF Syria and in the valleys Of the
Euphrates and Tigris Rivers for ages
Traces Of buried wheat have been
found in ancient tombS OF Egypt. in
the prehistoric lake dwellings OF
Switzerland and in certain regions OF
Asia. But It Is impossible 10 determine
the exact age Of wheat. Ancient his
tory speaks familiarly Of cereals, among
which is wheat, and freely mentions
the plow. In fact, the oldest countries
are those which seem closely connected
with this worldwide food.

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

Even the most sordld warfare cannot
wholly obliterate from the human heart
the high instinct of chivalry.
Up through the cracks and crevices
between the burial stones that lie IN
grim reminder OF atrocities that shame
the race, bright little flowers OF lovely
gestures to enemies spring.
AS / mingle among the young veter-
sns of the World War and turn an ear
to their "reminiscences, I think I sense
higher frequency and a more hearty
quality OF chivalry among the air fight
ers than among the land fighters.
1 hesitate to say this. and / hasten
to say that If 1t be true 1t is in no sense
an indication of difference in quality
between the men who fight IN the ar
and the men who fight on the land.
Man tor man, the land man can
match the air man in wits and Worthl-
ness, in character and consecratlon--ih
the basic personal impulse TO cnlValry'
II proportionately chivalry between
enemies bulked larger in the air tnan
upon land in the late war, 1t was due
to the difference in the methods Of
fighting. not to a difference III the
fighters themselves.
Fighting on land has become vast,
impersonal, mechanical mass operation.
The high dedication and holy deter
n1ination Of individual soldiers is but
the fuel that feeds machine.
There is no chance for the saving
spirit of chivalry to fly beside the shells
OF long-rangc guns across tragic miles
TO unseen enemies.
II IL only in occasional close encoun-
ters that the benediction Of chivalry can
fall upon the blood-stained ventures OF
land fighting. And even here. the mass
character of modern war gives the quail
ity OF the individual but little chance.
It Is different in the air.
Here again the individual fighter ap-
pears: something of the quality OF the
face face combats of ancient knights
marks the combats of the air.
And it Is the same story in peace.
When we move from small scale COM
munion or combat between individuals
to the large scale communion or combat
Of crowds, the lovely delicacies and the
creative touch Of the individual are lost.
When in education We convert a
small school into a gigantic university.
the contagion Of spirit is likely TO go the
way that chivalry has gone in the mass
operations of modern warfare.
Religion. politics, Journalism, all tell
the same story.
Somehow, inside the justifiable and
large scale operations Of modern life.
We must manage to organize our lives
In smaller and more manageable units.
