Woll drew his match-lighter from
his vest pocket and re-lit his Cor

the latter declined on the ground
that he doesn't smoke.

"Wish I had never started" Woll
remarked, and puffed away con-
tentedly. He looked out into the
blue Hudson. The sun was setting.
"That sure was a fine ride up here
in that boat" he said. (Woll and
the rest of the Council had come up

The writer was tired and hot.
John Leary, 'Jr., of the "World"
and Louis Stark of the "Times"
had rolled up into the West Point
Academy grounds in new model
Cadillac. But the Daily Worker
reported had hifch-hiked up. He
was quite tired. Thus, in spite of
the animated conversation, he fell
asleep.

Vol was touching my shoulder. He
thoughtfully woke ME up. We
walked together to the Weehauken

can get some air."
We arrived at 42nd St., New
York. "Well, I've got to hurry now.
I'll see you again, young fellow"
said Vol, offering his hand, quite
unconscious of my perfidy and his
own gullibility.

The writer couldn't ask any "lead-

took the seat just behind Vol, in
order not to appear too intrusive.

admiration for VOLTS manifold ac-

A. ooh, there are some"
Q. care most of them, Ell, pro-
gressive-or are they more or less
conservative ?"
1t depends"
A. ooh, it depends. Of course,
progressive or conservative doesn't
mean much. The way I look at it,
it's easy for a man on the floor to
noint out the shortcomings of the
fellows at the top; but just as soon
as that fellow gets into a position
of responsibility he sobers down.
And the reason for that is found
in the fact that just as soon as he
gets around a conference table with
the employer, he runs into lot of
problems he never thought of be-
fore"
The reporter was quick to ex-
press appreciation for Qualification
on the subject.
@. "By the way, Mr.. Woll, why
does the A. +. of l.. permit the
Communists to run those strikes

idea that it was the prerogative of
the Federation to lead strikes when
they come up"

jungle contempt. He will not cut his didos for them. But children he rec ognizes as his equals and when they are around, you learn why your off, spring behave like monkeys. If you hear the merry laughter of children. punctuated by a scream or two Ca strange sound indeed in the lions house), you can set it down as fact that the youngsters and Wei are hav- ing the time of their young lives. Should any of those keen-eyed and sharp-brained scientists be in the lions den at that moment, you will see them hustle over to N'Gi's habitat to note if he can show them why he behaves like a human being.
 This. however, is not why N'Gi is so important. He is one of three gorillas in captivity in this country A noted scientist, Dr. Yerkes, of Harvard, has spent great deal of time with the fe male gorilla, Congo, owned by Ben Burbage, and has written book about her and his experiences with her. If you have a mind to read the book it is entitled "The Mind of Gorilla" It is a very interesting work, as books on gorillas go, written in support of the evolutionary hypothesis that man is descended from monkey.
 Congo and N'Gi, more particularly the Washington animal, are very neces- sary to an understanding of that theory, for they can be studied here and few scientists have the time or the money, like Prof. Garner, of Alabama --or is it Tennessee Ito go to the jungles and prosecute their studies be. hind the bars of cage. Gorillas do not live long in captivity, and if N'Gi lives long enough he may turn out to be the missing link.
 Not all scientists who believe in the evolutionary theory attach a great deal of importance to N'Gi. To them he is

silence of his laboratory and the cloister of his library
 N'Gi has not told Us what he thinks of all this Dr. Mann, who loves him like a father, has found out that N'Gi loves to have his picture taken and to have his back scratched. When Dr. Mann discovered that N'Gi wanted his back scratched, he scratched it, and now every time he comes near NGi the young scamp backs up to the bars for another scratching.
 Another thing that NGi has learned to do is to patty-cake. Dr. Mann says he can do this as well as a child of his ace. A ouestionnaire for child was sent to be tried out on poor Wei, and he was so smart he passed three fourths of the exam. That beats the average of many school children.

estness at the zoo a pretty story of NGIs intelligence, how one day his keeper, Mr Blackburne, was raking the soled straw out of N'Gi's cage, when the jungle child stood in one corner and pointed his finger at wisp of straw the keeper had overlooked. This is behaving like human being all right. If you doubt it, go where the broom is still used and where it is still nice to have baby, and watch the youngster, now grown to eight or ten years of age, tell his wornout mother: "You didn't sweep behind the door, mamma"
 What the upshot of it will be no one knows, Will N'Gi win or will Dr. Clark carry off the honors of the com bat? Jungle child against a learned doctor of science. N'Gi laughs when you ask him about it.
New Britain herald., 1929-07-13

A1'GI at this particular moment is
 VI the most important, if not the
 most famous baby in America.
 Not even Paula Longworth, Alice Roosevelt's baby, receives better at tention than is being given this gorilla child from the jungles of Africa. A noted baby specialist visits him regu- larly and watches his growth his meals are prepared with meticulous care; a daily chart is kept as rigidly as the white robed nurse in the palace of the king kept King Georges, and many times during each day his cage is visited by the superintendent of the zoo or by some of the attendants.
 Not for worlds would they let Wei fall i'll one moment; not for the honor of discovering the missing link would they let him die.
 Most any day that you might amble out to the National Zoo in Washington, where N'Gi lives, you will find some eminent scientist watching the baby gorilla strut his stuff. Every little movement he makes has meaning all its own and while to the untutored lay man this gesture or that attitude may signify a monkey trick and nothing more, to the scientist, ever on the hunt for the missing link, it carries a sig nifcance.

If Dr.. Clark Is Right
 Darwin Theory Falls.

"No one can deny," says Dr. Clark, "that the great apes are in their gen. eral form very much like man. Yet there is no fossil evidence whatever that the most ancient man was not man. The very early men were quite different from the men we see today. But all the skeletal remains have been determined by the most competent au thorities as definitely either man or ape, and in no case intermediate.
 Scientists realize that if Dr. Clark's theory is true, then the whole structure of evolution, as it has been reared from Darwin's time to the present, falls to the ground. The famous Smithsonian Institution, of which Dr. Clark is an ornament, has arranged all of its exhibits to prove the linear theory of evolution and some of Dr, Clark's coadjutors, notably Dr. Ales Hrdlicka. the noted anthropoogist and curator of the musuem, attach more importance to N'Gi than to Dr. Clark's paper.
 In one of the cases in the museum, pr. Hrdlicka has assembled the brains of thirteen gorillas, seven of them from adult animals. These brains are studied constantly by evolutionists to find out how closely they are related

N'Gi Has Utter Contempt for Grown People. :,

In his cage is large rubber ball that excites his interest. It cannot be said that he is all the time enthusiastic over it, not nearly so enthusiastic as he is when a roach enters his cage. Then he acts like human being, so his keeper and the superintendent of the zoo, Dr. W. H. Mann, himself scientist of authority, tell us.
 For grown folks N'Gi has a sort of
New Britain herald., 1929-07-13

Gorilla, as Prof. Alfred McCann, s. J., of Fordham University, phrased it. Dr. Clark holds that man has always been man, and monkey, monkey, and that never twain have met since the first man and the first monkey were created or sprang into being or ap- peared on the scene. Here is how Dr. Clark states the case for the monkey men:
 "We have formed a mental picture of life growing like a tree. its roots buried in the slime of Archaen beaches and its highest branches represented by oursel~A This tree picture seems to have become a bit of scientific scripture.
New Britain herald., 1929-07-13

ous sorts of missing links to complete the picture. The missing links are for the most part wholly imaginary"
 This is treason to the evolution cult or words have no meaning. When imagination enters the door science jumps out of the window. That is what our old professors used to teach us. But let Dr. Clark go on with his interesting story, and then we will re- turn to our interesting young friend from the jungle. What about man? Is he related to N'Gi? That's what's bothering the keeper of the zoo and the boob who spends his time laughing at his kinsman behind the bars.

 of the legendary
 X monsters, Scylla and Charybdis, who were d es escribed in Homer's Odyssey as leerlng at each other across a narrow strait, is still disputed among the learned. The great bard may have had in mind the Straits of Messina, between Italy and Sicily-and again he may not.
 At any rate, two gi- gantic rocks-frowning across an obscure arm of China's Yellow Sea have recently been remarked as amazing counterpal-ts to the fig ures of the heroic tale. A photographer caught their rugged outline when the light was favorable, with a re- suit that the accom- panying picture shows. Certainly enough to frlghten unsuspecting mariners.
 In Homer's verse Scylla was a dreadful sea-monster, with six heads, twelve feet and a voice like the yelp of a puppy. She dwelt in a sea-cave looking to the west, and from time to time, would ex- tend her multiple heads looking for ships from which to snatch sea- men. Charybdis, equally forbidding, dwelt just across the small stretch of sea, thrice a day sucking in and spoutine out sea water. {

 to the human brain.
 The National Museum is not the only one that has been laid out on the evo- lutionary program. Every one in the world has been so arranged. Dr. Clark's theory challenges this arrange ment, and it challenges the whole teaching of the school of evolutionists.
 If his challenge is taken up, as it seems destined to be, for he is as much of an authority as any living scientist, it will be the greatest scrap the realm of science has ever seen. Modern relig- ion, led by men like Dr. Harry Emer- son Fosdick and Bishop Mcconnell and the deposed Bishop Brown, has based it's philosophy and reared its teaching on the linear theory of evolution. Mod ern medicine is now taught with this philosophy as its cornerstone. History has been rewritten to conform to it. Everything that touches civilized so ciety today has felt its impact. It may be that this quiet Government scientist has done something more than write paper which he has worked out in the
New Britain herald., 1929-07-13

Returning to LIT. Clark s theory, which he says is not new but a restatement of an early theory proposed by Hugo de Vries, the Dutch botanist. After discussing the different species of land and sea life and the changes each undergoes within it's kind this is the mutation theory he goes on:
 Tt is well to emphasize the fact that every developmental line has certain gaps. Some have these gaps large and broad, while in others, as for instance in the horses, the gaps are relatively small. But they are always there. They are, therefore, natural, and not due to a deficiency in the record"
 The linear revolutionary theory holds that life came from sea slime and required great periods of time for the changes from one species to another. Dr. Clarhs says this is not true. The lower the order of life the wider the gaps become. Then he lays down this scientific principle:
 "That these gaps between the different types of animals are real there can be no ques- tion. Yet it is just this tha. is denied by the modern o,,nlntinnists uthn assnnoo 1,ari

"ln our sclentlhc dogmatlSm We nave been inclined to dismiss those who insisted on ques- tioning the assumptions or the evidence, as 'cranks' We have been too busy hurllng epithets at them to do the one logical thing retrace the path of life through time"
 Dr. Clark does not rest his case on mere hypothesis of his own. He gives facts and draws conclusions from those facts, as we shall see further on. Those scientists who will discuss his paper with you shyly admit that he has posed the biggest argument the evolution advocates have to face, for it comes not from fundamentalists like Bryan or John Roach Straton. but from their own tireside. He is their man, and no man among them has higher rating than he. Right now they are giving him the silent treatment.
 One of them was asked what he thought of Dr. Clark's paper. Do you accept his req sonng?" was the way the question was put to him. Mot at all My thinking has all been done along the other line," he answered.
