WRITER FINDS ILLS
IN WORLDS PROGRESS
California Professor Concludes We
Are Not Civilized and Tells
Why.

In his book Are We Civilized?"
Prof. Robert H. Lewis of the Univer-
sity Of California concludes that in
general we are not. He points out that
riding OH express trains is no sign Of
high mental development.
Are we superior mentally to Calico
and to Newton, who had only stage
coaches to ride on? He writes: Man
has forged ahead Of the ape by passing
on his experiences to the next gener-
alton. He has piled up one means
after another, not only for surviving,
but for surviving in greater comfort.
However, he mars his legacy Of gold
by binding it UP inextricably with a
heritage of dress. Posterity learns to
chip stone knife and to chop of 2
finger joint with it in mourning or
prayer. Firearms shoot down game
and human beings. Rulers elaborate
law for large states and devise torture
chambers.
Biologists study heredity and then
try to tinker with human beings. The
result is largely to nullify the goal
achieved. AS If life were not an in
exhaustible source Of ills, man gratui-
tously adds to his load. The struggle
is no longer one Of adaptation to Ma
ture, but largely with the trolls that
infest our hearts and brains. Is the
game worth the candle?"
The existence of a large mass OF Or
ganized knowledge does not mean that
a people Is extending its culture.

INSURANCE COVERS.
CHILDREN AT PLAY
Policy Costs 10 Cents and
Protects Against Breaking of
Windows in School Hours.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis, october S
(N.AN.A.).-With a 12-year-old boy
as president other 12-year-olds as ad-
iusters and almost $50 in the treasury.
the Lincoln School Glass Casualty Com
pany, organized at the Lincoln School
here last spring, is functioning as ef-
fectively and earnestly as insurance
companies with million-dollar assets.
The company fills dire need at the
Lincoln School, where limited play
ground makes it hardly possible for the
500 children not to break windows In
playing ball. The space in front and
at the side of the school grounds Is
used to park automobiles, so the
chances of breaking windshields and
windows of cars are great.
Policies for Ten Cents.
Insurance POLICIES sell for 10 cents
and protect policy holders against win
dow breakage from ball-playing on
school days between the hours OF 7:45
m. and 4:45 pm. A clause protect
ing against breakage by foot ball Is yet
to be written into the policy. The
policy covers windows in nearby build
ings and passing cars as well as the
school.
"Stones don't count" Gordon Hide
brandt, the president, tells children at
the school in explaining the benefits OF
the insurance. Neither will the in
surance company protect child by
issuing policy after he has broken
window Protection is only for those
who hold policies at the time of win
dow breakage. Once the insurance
company has paid for window broken
by a policy holder. the policy holder
must renew protection by paying an
other 1o-cent premium.
Adjusters on Job.
Before the insurance company re-
places broken windows, Hildebrandt and
three other officers, acting as q board
of adiusters, interview the child who
broke the window and all witnesses
They then decide II the window was
broken accidently and should be re-
placed by the company. A crack in a
window is not considered a break and
the pane will not be replaced. When
proof is found that breakage was due
to carelessness on the part Of the child,
the company stands only half Of the
bill.
I'VE pay half to keep faith" said
Arnold Keppler, IL years old, secretary
of the organization, adding naively:
IF we didn't we couldn't sell any more
insurance. Some Of the kids are tough
to sell to anyway, until they smash a
window. Then they come with their
dimes"
The company was organized by
eighth grade pupils who had been
studying insurance, its history, vari-
eties and purposes as part of their
course in economic arithmetic, taught
by Elva w. Seideman, vice principal
The course also includes the study of
credit and finance.

ROYAL GREEK VILLA MAY
BECOME STATE COLLEGE
King George Bequeathed Estate,
Now in Dispute, to Son
Who Fled Nation.

CORFU, Greece (R.-Mon Repos,
the Greek royal villa standing high on
the coast of the Island of Corfu, after
passing into the hands of an English
valet Of the name of Blower, is once
more to see a change. 1t probably will
become an educational institution.
The villa was occasionally occupied
by the late King George I of Greece.
After his assassination in 1913 1t was
found that he. believing it to be his own
private property, had bequeathed 1t to
his fourth son, Prince Andrew.
Andrew narrowly escaped being shot
by a court-martial in connection with
the Asia Minor disaster in 1922 and fed
the country. Since then the villa has
been occupied by his English servant,
Blower, and his wife.
Now the state claims the estate, con-
tending that 1t never has been the
property of the crown. When the Brit
ish ceded Corfu, with the other six
Ionian islands, to Greece in 1854 the
treaty handed over Mon Repos to the
Greek state, not the King. If the state
establishes its claim it expects to open
a college on the site.

The modern sculptured bobs
do wonders to bring out your
personality. But, like other
present-day modes of arranging
the hair, they call attention to it.
That's why it's so important
nowadays to keep your hair soft,
lustrous, abundant. The easiest
and quickest way to give new
lustre and color to hair which has
begun to look dull and lifeless is
with Danderine. And it makes
the hair softer, easier to arrange;
holds it in place.
Here's all you do: Each time
you use your brush just put little
Danderine on it. It removes the
oily film from your hair; brings
out it's natural color; gives it
more gloss than brilliantine.
Waves "set" with it stay in longer.
Danderine dissolveS the crust of
dandruff; puts the scalp in the
pink of condition. It stops falling
hair. A small bottle is enough to
show its merit. Start on it tonight.

VALLEY DEATH
PLOT PROBED
Father Advances Motive For
Attack; Youth Is In
Hospital
Especial to The HERALD

SAN BENITO. July 10.-The the
DRY that Marcus Lopez, 2l-year-oId
iron worker of this city, was beaten
into Inconsistencies and thrown
onto the railroad track in hopes
that his expected death would be
attributed to an accident was being
investigated today in connection
with the finding of the young man
in a critical condition on the track
Sunday morning.
Lopez is still in a serious condl-
ton, and has been able to give Of
ficers no information, as he has
been unconscious most Of the time.
The theory Of an attack was adj
vanced by the boys father, and was
given some credence by Officers
when 1t was revealed that Lopez
and his brother only a week before
were involved in a fight with others.
Police Chief Luke Waters Of San
Benito arrested a young man here.
and took him to the station for
questioning Of Lopez father.
The officers found the youth ar
rested in such bad shape from a
beating administered to him the
previous week that they returned
him to his house. He had been
beaten about the head and face
and a stick had been thrust down
his throat. He was still unable to
talk.
Officers were informed that Viii
lareal, after being beaten into a
state Of Inconsistencies, was
thrown into a drainage ditch, and
left there the remainder Of the
night.
Lopez's father claims that the
many bruises and cuts on his sons
head were caused not by beams Of
box car which ran over him, but
by a beating administered by enc
mics.
Lopez was found on the track
near the ice plant here, after an
engine and ten box cars had run
G his body. He probably will
recover.
Chief Waters said as soon as the
two youths have recovered suffi-
GENTLY to permit, the investigation
will be continued. In the mean
time he is questioning other per-
sons who are said to have been i'm
plicated, or witnesses to some parts
OF the two alleged alterations.
