Gentlemen that object to prohibition
say that it costs the government 100000
and few odd dollars year.

No, it isn't the drys who want to
fight about that. It is the vets who

propaganda about the high cost of
prohibition has fallen with such a
sickening thud: the official report of
Prohibition Commissioner James M.
Doran on expenditures and receipts
from prohibition enforcement shows
that collections represented in fines,
penalties, and taxes over the nine
year period of prohibition, exceeded
expenditures by $247, 32430776

Anew Theory Of Evolution
By Archibald Henderson

must ex. ail, 4 certain correspon-
dence indicated. but not yet worked
out in detail, between the organic
and the inorganic worlds: the
curious correspondence in all the
broader features between the very
earliest fossils and the living ami.
mails and the occurrence OF gaps
of all degrees between the different
sorts Of animals. "
For example, 1t is a. familiar be-
lief that life comes from the sea
and that in the sea are to be found
these primitive animal types from
which land animals and the active
animals of the sea arose. Clark
finds no logic in such q supposi.
tion.
''The occurrence in the sea OF
so many different types Of ani-
mails, he observes, having a
structure showing a wide depar-
ture from the structure Of those
creatures with which We are most
familiar, naturally gavs rise to
the idea that In the sea we find
the reservoir OF primitive types Of
life from which an other types
arose. But this phenomenon Is
capable of another and much more
logical explanation. Land ami
mails can obtain their food in only
a single Way--by going after 1t.
Sea animals secure their food in
three quite different ways. Three
times as many ways of securing
food means three times as many
: possibilities OF variation III the
bodily form and structure Of the
animals concerned.
Thus the excess OF major ami.
NAL types found in the sea il
simply IN agreement with the In
creased possibilities Of securing
food and implies no evolutionary
inferiority Of sea animals as coEHl-
pared with animals on land. ?
Clark's s theory. however. Is more
evolutionary than revolutionary.

A N1MAts, according to present
6Ascientific views, are judged in
two ways. These ways Of esti.
mating animals are called: crea-
tionism and evolution.
Creationism is merely a brief
term for the idea that living
things have at some time in the
past been created substantially
in the same form as that IN
which we know them now. Few
biologists entertain this view.
Biologists generally believe in evo-
luton. "a doctrine which assumes
the gradual development, step by
step, Of all the widely varying
forms Of life from an original
form OF simple structure.
This latter view assumes a.
single straight unbroken evolil-
tionary line. Often the figure Of
an evolutionary tree with branches
is employed to represent this
process. Unfortunately for this
most maintained theory among
scientiSts, there are certain un.
mistakable gaps in every develop
mental line. These gaps. whether
great or small, are always tfsre.
The modern evolutionists deny
the actual existence of these gaps.
They maintain that these gaps
merely indicate the deficiency in.
the record. The scientists are
compelled to suppose that there
are various sorts of absent cof.
meeting forms or so-called miss.
ing links" IN the unbroken chain
uf evolutional development.
Suppose, however, that these
missing links are either wholly
Or for the most part Imaginary.
