APES NOT ERECT,
MOVIES REVEAL
SloW-Motion Films Clarity
Relationship of Anthro-
poid and Man.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. CP.-The slow
motion picture has helped clarity the
relationship between the anthropoid
ape and man.
The important point disclosed Is that
the apes are unable to stand wholly
erect, although they are more nearly
able than any other animal. Man
alone possesses this attribute.
The research which sets definite lin
its to the ability of the anthropoids
In this respect was conducted by DR..
Edward Reyonlds. director of the de-
partment of anthropology of Peabody
Museum, Harvard College.
the camera caught the gibbon, small
est OF anthropoidS, while running, when
10 the eye he has appeared to be al
most completely erect. The camera
stopped" the gibbons movements suf-
tlciently to show that he was actually
put little more than half erect as to
thigh position.
The skeletons Of these animals, DR.
Reynolds says, are so shaped that the
tnlgn cannot be extended and in conse-
quence tney stand about half of mans
AAlN O4AAy imam
the anthropoids, which rises naturally
on It's hind legs to half erectnesS, is the
bear
The result Of the studies" DR.. Rev
noldS says, shows the notifications of
the human skeleton, which permit of
the erect posture. Men alone possess
the quality of being able to spring from
their hind feet in any direction. This
quality has been partially developed, but
only partially, in the anthropoids. No
sane man for moment believes that
man descended from the apes, but that
he may be descended from the same
common ancestor"
Another significant difference Of the
anthropoid from man is that none is
able to oppose its thumb against its
finger tips. The nearest approach is
putting the side of the thumb against
the side of the finger.
The orang-outang, DR. Reynolds
deScribs as having really four hands,
using both hands and feet to grasp
branches when swinging through trees
and being almost incapable of rising on
his hind feet.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, November 6.
Augustine SANDING, now believed to
be hiding in the jungles from the Amer
lean Marines, is believed here to have
had no influence in the national cleo
ton OF Sunday, when Gen. Jose Maria
Moncada was chosen President.
SANDING fought under Moncada in
the revolution last year, but he became
a bitter enemy of hte Liberal leader.
whom he accused of treachery in ac-
cepting American Intervention and SUI
pervision of the elections. The Province
of Neuza Segovia, where many of San
dino's followers formerly lived, showed
a larger conservative vote yesterday
than in the last election.
SANDING did not make good his
threats to create disturbances at the
polls in the northern area and even
the American election mission was sur
prlsed at the total absence of disorders
throughout the country. The followers
OF SANDING are so few now that Marine
officers said they could scarcely be con-
sldered factor in the country.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
VERY MUCH TOO STRONG"

Sentencing the mother of ten children to prison
for life upon her fourth conviction of violating the pro-
hbition law, appears of itself to be travesty JUS
tce, not to say cruel example Of excessive punish
ment
When one considers the murderers, volators of
law and pay little penalty penalty at all for their
crimes the sentence of this Michigan mother makes
system of courts and laws tragic farce.
Michigan has statute setting life imprisonment
punishment for fourth felony conviction. and VO
ating the prohibition law in that state is q felony.
Granted that the woman has openly fIouted the
law, it is doubtful if the srictest dry could
honestly say within himself that she merits the punish
ment imposed upon her.
In the dispatches telling of the Michigan
sentence, is the account of the arrest of dry in
former" used by the federal prohibition enforcement
officers in New York, to obtain evidence against VIC
ed with accepting $4,000 in brbes from owners of
"speakeasies'' whom he protected Will he be given
a life sentence if convicted?
Likewise there is the expose of liquor scandals IN
Kansas City with leading citizens of that city calling
upon the federal government to help clean up the
thousand "speakeasies' which they declare exist in
the midwest metropolis Will the operators of these
"speakeasies the officials, who by protecting them,
enable them to violate the law be given life mprson-
ment if they ever convicted?
The reader can answer both questions for himself
and his answer will certainly be in the negative He
also ask himself who the greater vioators of
the booteggers and officials of Kansas City? And if
he is at all cognizant of what transpres daily in the
courts of our country he must know there is little
chance of the big fellows getting any punishment.
