FIND SKULL OF MAN WHO MAY HAZE
 LIVED BEFORE SPEECH DEVELOPED

"I am inclined to believe" said Dr. Ousdal. that the shape of the mans face was much like that of the gorilla.
 "The skull about the base on the sides and back shows ridges to which neck muscles were at- tached and that does not show in ordinary skulls or even in those very old. proving there was little neck as it is now known. The head set very close to the torso and was extremely strong, as in animals.
 Another point is the narrow ness of the upper jawbone where it runs down to a point to hold the front teeth. the resemblance to the shoot of hog being no- ticeable. Apparently there were only about five teeth across the front"

 Reddy trotted off 10 the Old Pasture with a very satisfied air. He felt that he had fully prepared to give Jerry Muskrat the surprise he had planned for him. He hadn't a doubt that everything would work out just as he wanted it to. He could almost taste Jerry Muskrat, so sure was he that he would catch him.
 Meanwhile Jerry Muskrat was cx- in the Smiling Pool. He had a nice bed of dry grass. the walls of his house were frozen so they could not be torn open and he could sleep in comfort and peace. He hadn't a worry. That morning for breakfast he had had a liiy-rcot. There were plenty more where that one came from that could be had for the dig sing. So Jerry was at peace with all the world. Of course. he didn't dream of the plans that Reddy Fox was making.
