Science Finds Another
HBirthnlace of Mankind''

The traditional site of the Gar
den Of Eden as the birthplace OF
man Is now thought to have been
definitely placed. According TO DR..
g. g. McCurdy Of Yale. man In his
present form appeared about 1000.
600 years ago. probably In Mesopo-
tamia. The theory IL based on re-
cent excavations around Bagdad.
A still earlier type Of man lived
about 1.250,000 years ago. when the
climate was uniformly mild. They
managed to survive three success
Ave Ice ages. during which the gla-
ciers descended from the north and
covered q large part of the earth.
During the fourth Ice age, early
man was driven into caves to live
and become q nomad.
According to DR.. Ernest Antevs, q
Swedish ge0logist, man began to
develop into his present form only
about 1900 years ago. It was
about this time that the glaciers re-
ceded from the Scandinavian PENN
sula. It IL. thought that the polar
Ice caps may also melt In another
similar period Of 1900 years, leav-
ing the earth In climate Of per-
petual spring.

A. S. B. TICKETS
Emerson Potter

With the ushering in of the new
school year, we are again faced
with a serious problem-the sale
of Associated Student Body tick
cts.
1t is upon the sale of these tick.
cts that the years activities de-
pend. We all realize, though, that
when we buy one, we not only
make these events possible, but al
so gain the pleasure of seeing
them.
Now is the time and the only
time, to buy ticket, as the COM
ing week will witness the begin
ming activity. At this time of the
year, also, the majority of US have
larger financial resources, and can
well spare the small amount nee
essary to purchase a ticket.
Foresight is the impelling fac
tor in the schools annual ticket
sale. 1t was through foresight that
man progressed over beast, and ma
ton progressed over tribe, and it
is through foresight that we will
be able to progress as a social
body,
Therefore, it is duty of each of
us, as patrons of the school, to
contribute our small but vital part
in buying tickets, and we are as
sured that all will rally to the call.

United States Takes
High Rank In HeaI;no

AT the beginning of the Nine
teenth century, according to Doctor
Osler, there were only three med
1cal schools In the United States
and only two general hospitals. Stu
dents who desired better educa-
ton than they could receive To-
cally were forced to go abroad.
There were only a few medical
Journals in circulation I'm this
country and almost no American
medical books had been published.
Around the middle Of the century,
many new medical schools were
founded, but their standards were
low end the education they gave
was poor.
The reformation started In Har.
ward shortly after President Eliot
assumed office in 1869 and quickly
spread to the other medical schools
Of the country, stirring them all
to new life and activity. We have
now 80 medical schools, 1922 gen.
eral hospitals, and q medical lit.
erature SO rich and voluminous as
to be embarrassing.-Bessie Bun.

The other night / happened
around down by the showers to see
what was going on and coming of
down there. The first sound that
greeted my ears was, "Say, that's
nv helmet" and ''What I'd like to
know is who gave you authority
TO get attached to my sweat shirt.
Between times now and then a
shoe or pair of shoulder p
would whizz by my ears and per-
haps dislodge piece of plaster on
the wall or somebody's rib. Now
that sounds pretty bad for these
fellows and I thought they were
pretty tough lot, but wait; we
haven't seen anything yet. Why,
they are as tame as two wildcats
compared with what they are out
on the field.
You Just ought to see those boys
tear into those thistles. The coach
(Bill Linden, in case you are not
acquainted with him) told me
that they were quite fortunate this
wear in that they only lost two
men in the jungle of tumble weeds
and another little punctured.
Well, the boys are getting into
shape now and what thistles that
haven't been absorbed in their
hides have been trampled into the
dust so that now only few bould-
ers and sage bush or two remain
and the field, SO to speak, has
been reclaimed from the uninhabit-
ed parts south of town.
And let me see, oh, yes, a dis
patch came in saying that there is
to be game up at Grandview on
Friday at two o'clock. 1t also
states that the Orange Phantoms
are to play a large part In the

to take along twenty-five men IN

Is, 1874, as the result Of q plan
formed by Lewis Miller Of Akron,
Ohio, and Rev John 81. Vincent Of
New York. The assembly plans
widened rapidly In successive years.
In 1879 q school for teachers In
secular subjects was opened. Prob
ably Chautauqua is best known In
connection with the plan of sys-
tematic home reading. The plan
was proposed and explained In
1873. The first year 1000 persons
were enrolled, and from that time
readers, varying in number from
5000 to 25.O0O. have Joined the
circle per season. There are now

a parkway from the Potomac River to and in
Guiding Conduit road as far Great Falls.
The State of Maryland might also be interested
in having further, a magnificent boulevard, 1S5
miles long, from the Capital City to Cumber-
land, Md. This boulevard would offer fea-
lures that commend themselves to the traveller
scenery and history. ShepherdStown and
Harpers Ferry are two Of the most interesting
towns that the canal passes between Cumber-
land and Georgetown. At Shepherdstown, on
the edge of a cliff overlooking the Potomac is
a monument erected to the memory of James
Rumsey, inventor of the steamboat, though
Robert Fulton is generally credited with this
achievement. In 1887, on the Potomac River
near Shepherdstown, James Rumsey made
successful demonstration of a boat propelled
by steam.
1t is interesting to find that in 1874 George
Washington spent a night at Bath, Berkeley
County, Va, and James RumSey, of the
proprictCrs Of the tavern, showed Washington
then his invention for propeling boats against
the stream by a mechanical contrivanee. MFR.
Rumsey was afterward made the general
manager of improvements of the Patowmack
Co
The two branches of the Potomac unite about
10 miles southeast of Cumberland and take
an irregular course far as Harpers Ferry,
where stands the monument of John Brown.
At Harpers Ferry the Shenandoah flews into
the Potomac. Here the streams flow through
a wild gorge In the Blue Ridge range. From
Cumberland to Georgetown the canal passes
through land made beautiful by nature and
interesting through history.
The dream Of George WashingtOns life was
to see the East and West connected by a
navigabie waterway. The result of his efforts
was the formation of the Patowmack Co. which
was organized in 1785 with George Washington
as president. The plan of improvement of the
Patowmack Co. was that of e. en-river navga-
ton except at localities where the falls made
navigation impossible, at which places lateral
canals with locks constructed. Navga-
ton was opened In 1892 and the canals were
in continuous operation until 1880, when the
locks at Great Falls were abandoned. The ex-

Indicative OF a foreigners appreciation Of
Washington, the late James Bryce, British AM
bassador, said in address delivered in 1913:
1T know of no great city in Europe except
Cons.antinople which has quite close-in its
very environs-sach beautiful scenery many
of the woods which stretch along the Potomac.
No European city has as noble cataract in
the vicinity the Great Falls of the Potomac,
a magnificent piece of scenery which you will,
of course always preserve Some day the
people are going to set the true value upon all
these things-these spots of beauty around
Washington When that day comes those who
come after you will either pay far more for
these pisces of ground or else men viii mourn
in vain over opportunities forever lost. :. You
have such chance offered to you here for
building UP q superb capital that 1t would be
almost an act of ingratitude to Providence and

here enjoy"

would become the site of the Capital 1t was the
setting Of the home of the first Americans The
woods which shattered the Indians in those
long gene days still stand In dignity and beauty.
holding in memory the spirit of the stalwart
braves who forcgatheTed in their kindly shade.
Rich, indeed. in Indian lore are these Potomac
woods and waters-a fact in itself making the
spot well worthy of place in the historic
treasure house of the Nation.
Running parallel with the shore of the
"Potowmack," beloved of Washington lies the
Chesapeake e. Ohio Canal now abandoned.
But back in the days when destiny writing
most rapidly the beginnings of the history
of our great Republic this waterway was the
scene of active commerce, with boats busily
plying up and down its length from tidewater,
at Georgetown. to Cumberland. Md
The proposal has been made that the Federal
Government purchase this canal, to be used
as the readbed of a boulevard and parkway
between Washington and Cumberland, Md But
the proposal to build the boulevard parallel to
the canal Is more desirable than the one advO-
eating the use of the bed of the canal.
The canal is 1912 miles long, with an aver
age width of 65 feet at the surface. The Fed
eral Government could own this strip of land as
