Shots fired exactly at noon 40 years

territory to settlement. Vast throngs
of homeSteaders had been gathered
for days and weeks waiting for the
moment specified in President Ben
jamin Harrison's proclamation to en-

name has 1t.
The race for claims and home
sites was as colorful at 1t was hectic. It
has no parallel in history. Hundreds
Of the hopeful were crowded in trains
on the only railroad to enter the ter
ritory. Thousands were on horse
back with little or no provisions.
Other thousands were in buggies and
wagons. Others, more cautious, drove
ox-carts, heavily laden with supplies.
Still others were on foot.
Within a few hours after its dra-
matte opening, the territory had
practically all its obviously valuable
land claimed by settlers. Towns and
villages sprung up magically. The
kcity of Guthrie, which did not exist
at all at dawn, had q population OF
10000 by nightfall. It was the cap

CHICAGO-AND OPTIMISM

Arriving in Chicago the other day on business trip
through the middle west the secretary remarked that

Editorial Comment
WHEN TWINS ARE NOT ALIKE
(St, Paul DiSDatCh)


Medical men are asking why twins are alike and going
beyond the popular theory that the circumstances Of
birth and environment responsible for likeness in
feature and physique inquire II twins think alike and
have the emotions
Or. H. H. Newman Of the University Of Chicago set
himself to reduce theory to scientific fact He found
twin girls born In London who were separated eighteen
months after their birth by the death Of their mother
One remained In London and the other went to live in
the Canadian northwest The London twin Joined her
sister in Canada after seventeen years Of separation
Dr. Newton found that the Canadian girl was nine
pounds heavier and several points In intellectual rating
above her London sister, Emotionally and temperament
ally they much alike but the advantage In brain and
body with the girl who brought up the prairie
Dr. Newton indicates that better food gave the Can
adian twin her superiority.
His view Is sustained by Dr. John Monroe Of Long
Island university who asserts that the best fed people
tend to be superior in intelligence He began research
In the public schools Of Farbault Minnesota, In 1918
continued 1t through his at Carleton college
Northfield and now makes known his findings. Il am
convinced" he says that much Of the low intelligence
DUE to the fact that for generationes these people have
had poor and insufficient food"
The old Roman maxim "a sound mind in sound
body" Is reaffrmed by these researches Good food Il
essential not alone to bodily development but plays its
in increased mental capacity Parents who provide
proper diet for their children give the man advantage
not only in bodily health but also in mental power.

sprung into action and obstetrical
progress began.
1T may be that the very tireless-
ness of their task Injured women to
their ancient methods, and that men

FASHIONABLE THING!
It seems that once again it was
fashion which determined vital
thing. It was not until the court
world made male doctor as an
assistant to the stork fashionable,
when kings began using the court
surgeon for the delivery Of their own
offspring, that the lesser peoples per-
mitted a surgeon at the bedside Of
the newborn child.
Those who were not kings some-
times summons q shepherd who had
been successful In the lambing season.
Many questions arise with this re-
minder that woman herself took her
agony as q matter of course. Are
women slower to accept change,
slower to demand the better way.
than men? Are they more accep-
tive of things, without questioning If
there might be a better way?
When 1t is only matter Of their
own welfare and freedom from pain
women are VIGOROUSLY acceptive: when
it concerns their children, or those
near and dear to them, they are any
thing but that.
Women have gloried in the tradi-
tional pain of childbirth, too, for a
reason which they would be the first
to deny. BY clinging to the hardships
Of 1t rather than accepting the easier
way. they have become more securely
anchored to male protection.

Attached to each ear are three
muscles for the evident purpose OF
wiggling the ear upward, forward and
backward, and yet there are very Few
individuals who have the power to
flap or otherwise wiggle the ears
Scientists claim that these muscles,
together with certain other anatom-
ical structures, such as the coccyx OF
documentary tail, and the hairs OF the
face and body, are evidences OF mans
development from a more primltiVe
form. This belief is held by most
scientific men at present, and II 1t IS
true, it is also possible that we stu
use a number of mental processes
which were very necessary in the ear
lier stages of human history but
which at present could be discarded
to advantage.
If the body has evolved. the mind
must also have evolved, and many OF
our fundamental emotions may only
be developments Of the archaic. we
are striving upward and onward. but
some of the impulses must necessarily
be changed to fit our social customs.
From our environment and early
training we probably learn selfishness,
cruelty, deceit and combativeness.
These were once essential to our sur
vival, but at present they have be-
come largely unnecessary and in some
cases actual handicaps which must be
overcome. These savage remnants
still persist in man, but they have

tateS of custom and civilization.
It is difficult to realize how strongly
these primitive emotions may still
dominate us unconsciouSly. In q
panic, fire or disaster, the savage
hidden within a civilized man casts
aside veneer of culture and one will
seek personal safety even at the ex-
pense of others. We know that mob
loses all sense of reason, and justice
becomes a thing forgotten. In fact,
many of our penal codes are only for
the purpose of regulating the ataviS-
tic tendencies of human beings.
A man may be perfect gentleman
when in society or when surrounded
by his business associates and yet in
| his own home where he is freed from,
social restraint these hang-back
primitive tendencies may assert
themselves.
| The human reasoning power is still
in its infancy. If 1t were fully de-
veloped, we should be able to recog-
nize all things in their true proper
ton. We would never be troubled by
trifles nor would we neglect import
ant duties. We would be able to dis
pense with bumpers on our automo-
biles, because we would never make
mistakes. However, we all know that
the man or woman who has never
made q mistake does not exist, and
we still find use for the rubber or
our lead pencils.

tinual process of learning and expert

reminds us that long as wom-

throughout the long. centuries
when no one dreamed that a
man might be Of service at this
time, not one discovery or invention
to alleviate her pain was ever made
or even attempted. He writes
There were two problems which,

had challenged the skill OF all peoples
alike: Birth and War. Birth had

Answer: The reason you have had

probably due to some glandular de-
ficiency. The tablets which caused
you to reduce very likely contained
thyroid extracts and this treatment Is
never advisable unless you are under
the strict care of q physician. I am
