Editor Times-I have seen and
read with interest some of the ar
ticles on dogs appearing with illus
trations in the columns of The
Times.
I believe that such articles will
prove of advantage to those inter-
ested in pure-bred dogs. and I am
sure that the Hoosier Kennel Club
of indianapolis, which is member
club of the American Kennel Club,
will appreciate your efforts along
these lines.

is very happy, but somewhat acct
dental. Maybe he never will do it
again.
Still, this seems to me a little
captious. Gordon's book can be
measured by the work of two COM
petitors, one white and one Negro.
In general scope and mood it falls
into the field of Carl Van Vechten's
''Nigger Heaven

spite of technical deficiencies, it
sweeps along with extraordinary
gusto. Gordon has had all kinds of
adventures and he has moved
through them with all his powers
of observation trained upon the in

humor. That can't be learned,

SCIENCE
Science Is Wdging q Battle
Over Where the Cradle of
the Human Race Was Lo-
Gated.
By DAVID DIETZ
THREE CoRNERED battle 4

a EE-CORNERED battle Is
IN raging in the world OF science
over the cradle of the human race.
Some say it was in Europe, others
in Asia, still others in Africa.
Eminent anthropologists can be
found to support each point Of view.
The one thing they all agree upon
is that the New World is truly new
as far as mankind is concerned.
Man, they agree, made his first APP
pearance in America about $4,000
years ago. 1t is believed that man
entered the American continent
from Asia by way of Alaska.
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka of the United
States National Museum, one of the
worlds foremost anthropologiSts, be-
lieves that western and southwest
ern Europe was the birthplace OF
mankind.
He bases his opinion upon the
fact that many of the earliest
skeletal remains have been found in
Europe.
Excavations and searching Of
caves have revealed that a race Of
man, differing more widely from
present-day man than the various
races of man differ from each other
today, inhabited most of Europe
from 10000 years ago to about TO-
900 years ago. This race is known
as the Neanderthal race.
About 10000 years ago, this race
was replaced by the Cro-Magnon
race and later other races which re-
semble those of today.

Reasons

DR. HENRY FAIRFIELD os-
~ BORN, president of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, Is
one of the chief advocates OF the
theory that the human race origin
ated in Asia. He believes that man.
kind is far older than many other
authorities will admit.
One of the things which DR.. Os-
born hopes will be established
eventually by DR.. Roy Chapman
Andrews expeditions into Mongolia
is that mankind arose in Asia.
DR.. George S. Duncan of the
American university who also holds
this theory, advances ten reasons
for it. They are:
I. The Java ape-man remains are
the Oldest of the sort known and
Java once was a part of the main
land of Asia.
2. The finding in a cave near
Peiping of some teeth thought to be
more than 100000 years old.
3. The discovery Of stone imple-
ments more than $4,000 years old
in Mongolia.
4. The discovery of ruins in Mon
golia believed to be of extreme an
tiquity.
S. Two species of anthropoid apes,
the orang and gibbon, exist in Asia.
g. Most Of our domestic animals
and cereals came from Asia.
7. Mongolia is the Oldest dry land
on the globe.
8. The great size of Asia.
9. Asia is located centrally TO
other lands.
10. The oldest remains Of animals
related to the anthropoid apes and
known as prim, ties have been found
in Asia

It's Mob Psychology

THE boom in stocks did not origi-
L nate in business, but in the
speculative complex.
You could not make people believe
that before last Thursday, but they
are more than glad to believe it
now, because it gives them a chance
to hope that the slump will not
hurt business too seriously.
Mob psychology remains the most
mysterious, as we'll as the most dan
gerouS, bug under the chip.
1t was mob psychology that led
to the boost of stocks without rhyme
Or reason, and mob psychology may
cause an epidemic of cold feet.
Barring that, we ought to recover
from the water squeezing operation
without permanent injury.
Under existing conditions, share
OF stock is blessed with two values.
First, there is the value deter
mined by the dividends it pays and
the business back of it.
Second, there is the value deter
mined by what people hope, expect,
or believe.
The stock market, as dominated
by spectators and margin buyers,
Is interested chiefly in the latter.
That is what sent it up, and that
is what brought it down.
So far as the dividend value goes,
it is about the same today as it was
a week, month, or even year ago.

weapons, utensils, and art objects, as
we'll as many skeletal remains, are
found all over Europe. The wide
spread nature of these findings is
one of the chief arguments for be-
lieving that mankind arose in
Europe.
Very early Skeletal remains are eX-
tremely few. Europe boasts of two.
There is the skull and jawbone
found at Piltdown, Sussex, England.
Anthropologists consider this sort
of Freeman or dawn man." Tech
nically they have called him Eoan-
thropos. It is estimated he lived
100000 years ago. A few bones of
a somewhat similar type were found
at Heidelberg, Germany.
The oldest near-human skull Is
from Asia, however. 1t was found
IN Java. Anthropologists refer to 1t
as that of an ape-man and have
named him "Pithecanthropos."
The case for Africa is much
strengthened by the finding in 1921
of a skull in Rhodesia. Rhodes

anthropologists, had a more prinli-
tive skull than Neanderthal man.
It is also pointed out that both
the two types of ape which most
nearly resemble man, the gorilla and
the chimpanzee, are found IN
Africa.
The oldest known remains OF
anthropoid apes have been un-
earthed in the Fayum valley in west
ern Egypt.
The Oriental Institute of the Uni
versity of Chicago is making
study of Egypt. It's investigators
have found flint implements indicat-

MOT long ago a Missouri news
i " paper had story about girl
who sneezed so hard that her eye
fell out. The item went on to say
that hospital authorities had said
that it was not unusual for an eye
to be removed for operations, but
that to have it forced out by cough
ing or sneezing was unique in med
ical annals.
Again and again newspapers have
carried stories to the effect that
some one had had an eye taken out,
washed and put back in the socket.
There, indeed, are numerous sto-
ries having to do with the trans
planting of eyes from one person to
another.
The actual fact Of the matter is
that the eye is one of the most deli

Business Changes Little

TN fundamentals business has not
IL changed. very much since the de-
preston of 1921.
1t certainly has not changed dur
ing the last week.
To- read the ticker, however, one
would think that the country was
about to go bankrupt.
The point is, of course, that the
ticker no longer represents bust
ness conditions, but what a lot of
suckers fall for on the one hand, and
what lot of manipulatorS can put
over on the other.
-
Apologists for this greatest of all
gambling games argue that it is
necessary to provide capital. Maybe
it is. Maybe we can not sell stocks,
except through an exchange.
Maybe we are doomed to continue
the evil of unrestricted speculation
to provide an investment market.
But the long continued rise in
stock prices has put very little cap
ital into business, and the present
slump will take very little out.

In defending their position, the
Commissioners say they could not

Police Trial Board without having

They also say that photostatic
copies of letters written on a type

.BIG WAREHOUSE
FIRE PR0BED

Fire department officials and OFF,
GERS of the Hub Furniture Company
are investigating the cause Of the
fire which late yesterday swept the
block-long warehouse at North
Capitol and Pierce Streets.
Practically the entire stock, most
Of it newly received furniture, suf-
fered from fire or water as the
flames ate their way through the
three-story brick building.
The fire was discovered by an
employe Of the firm, who turned
in the alarm. Other employees en-
deavored to fight the flames with a
hand chemical pump, but when the
first fire engines arrived the flames
had made such headway that two
additional alarms were sent in.
Other alarms brought more engines
and the water tower.
Firemen were ordered to leave
the structure at one time because
the roof, q heavy metal affair, was
in danger OF falling in. They
fought the flames through large
ventilating windows on the side and
ends of the building.
Howard Mckinley, secretary Of
the firm, expressed the opinion
that the fire started in the packed
furniture on the second floor. He
was unable to estimate the loss
until the invoices are gone over.
The warehouse is across the
street from Sibley Hospital and
patients and nurses watched the
flames from windows, but there
was no excitement, hospital authori'
ties declared.

D. c. Heads Determined

The District Commissioners are
digging in for finish fight with the
Gibson Investigating subcommittee
over the Burlingame case.
Co.-viced that their policy Is legally
and ethically the correct one. the
Commissioners do not intend to sus-
pend the police captain. as has been
demanded by Representative Gibson
and his colleagues.
Formal action will be taken at a
board meeting today. 1t is forecast
that this will be a reiseration of the
previous stand taken by the city
fathers and an out-and-out rejection
of the subcommittee demand.

Some of the best golfers, professional,
and amateur, in the United States

Joy in their hearts to assault par in
the Canadian open championship.
They thought they had q decided
edge on the old gentleman before

winner will get only $500. no matter
how much he shaves par. but If a
pro takes the title. and a pro always
has, he can cash in heavily by having
it after his name.
At least two strong amateur threats
appeared. George Won Elm and Ross
Somerville, and there may be others
lurking in the shadows. Leo DieHel,
who won the championship for the
third time last year. found his path
to a fourth honor disputed by prac-
tically every star pro in the business.

the way for another ID tomorrow and
