Variations

DR. HRDLICKA recently has ex-
~ amined the skeletal remains of
Neanderthal man and it is on this
basis that he advances his theory
that present day man, who first ap-
pears in the Aurignac!an period, de-
velOped from Neanderthal man.
DR.. Hrdlicka points out that the
SIX lis and other bones of Neander-
thai man show a vast variation az
to detail and that variation can be
put in sequence. This sequence ad-
vances from those least like modern
man 10 those most like him.
He points out further that great
variations exist within single skele-
tons.
I'm one and the same skeleton
are found parts and features that
are very primitive and far away
from mans later types, with parts
anG features that are almost like
The modern; and every skeleton is
found to differ in these respects.
Here is facing us. evidently, a
very noteworthy example of in
stability, an instability plainly, Of
evolutionary nature, leading frors
Old forms to more modern"
Dr. Hrdlicka believes that varia-
tons appeared in Neanderthal man
because of the rigors of the glacial
environments. The harshness Of
the environments intensified the
struggle for existence and the
working of natural selection.
AS a result, he believes large vari-
ations occurred in individuals. Only
he individuals most fitted for the
battle survived and so gradually,
according to Dr. Hrdlicka, modern
man arose from Neanderthal man.
He points out that the chief diff
ferences between Neanderthal man
and modern man lie in the reduc-
ton Of the muscles of the Jaw and
body with consequent changes in
the teeth, jaw. face and skull, and
reduction OF the eyebrow ridges.
Such reductions. DR.. Hrdlicka In
sists, are still going on in the hu-
man race

Let This Be Warning

XETHAT has happened to Chi
w cago can happen to any
American City, with the requisite
amount of incompetence, graft and
corruption.
There is nothing about a city
which puts it beyond bankruptcy in
financial or moral way.
If we have grown to look upon
cities as capable of withstanding
the effects of lawlessneSs and NAL
content, it is largely because we
still have the power of self-illusion-
ment.
Instead Of regarding Chicago as
strange, exceptional, or different
from our own community in funda-
mental respects, we should take its
present condition as warning of
what can happen anywhere, and
what is bound to happen if average
citizens neglect their duty.
Eternal vigilance is not only the
price of liberty, but of good order
and sociol progress.
Big Bill is right in denying re-
sponsibility for the fact that Chi
cago clerks and school teachers are
living on the bounty of loan sharks,
but he is wrong in trying to pass the
buck to the reformers.
Neither he nor they are to blame,
because neither he nor they would
be where they are except for pub
lie attitude which regarded the
politics of this great city as good
show, a five-reel thriller, a comedy
that represented little more than
something to laugh at.

Step in Right Direction

H VEN if its most hopeful schemes
L. are put into effect, the great
governments concerned still would
be in good position to start
wholesale murder over night.
The best that can be said of it
is that it sets a precedent for con-
ferring on the proposition of linn
iting arms in one particular phase.
Though that promises little for
the immediate future, it. does rep
resent a tentative step in the right
direction, because it was something
that great governments never
thought of doing until the last few
years.
Big Bill Thompson says that he
is not to blame for Chicago being
broke.
He says the reformers did it
the men who organized to stop gang
rule and racketeering.
He says also that the state OF
Illinois must pull Chicago out Of
the mud.
All of which is very interesting,
but not the most significant aspect
of Chicago's sad plight.

Cultures

TINE cultures older than those OF
l. Neanderthal man are called
Chellean and Achulean, because
typical examples of them have been
found at ChelleS-sur- Marine and st.
Acheul, respectively.
The culture of the Neanderthal
man, which is superior TO these
preceding ones, is called Mousterian,
because a typical example occurs at
lie MouStier.
MouSterian culture was followed
by one known as Aurignacian. No
skeleton remains belonging to the
start of the Aurignacian period
have been found, but many belong
ing to the latter part are known.
Neanderthal man, as judged from
his skeleton remains, was short in
stature, heavily built and possessed
of british features.
His forehead was low, his eye
| brow ridges large and pronounced,
his nose was large, his teeth large,
his jaw heavy and with receding
chin.
The skeletons found in the Aurig-
nacian period are essentially like
those of present day man. The
most important ones are those
thought to have constituted race
named the Cromagnon.
Cromagnon man was tall. He had
a well-Shaped head with high fore
head and large brain capacity. 1t
Is thought that he looked very
much like the American Indian.
The common assumption among
psychologists is that Cromagnon
and the other types of the Aurig-
nacnia period represented a great
invasion which came into Europe
and eXterminated the Neanderthal
man. This is thought to be the
explanation of the sudden disap-
pearance Of Neanderthal man
However. DR., Hr0licka points out
that Neanderthal man disappeared
at the height of the glacial age, the
most unlikely of all times for an
invasion of Europe.
He also points out that a great
invasion would have been beyond
the abilities or the organizing
powers of prehistoric man.

ner by the rigors of the glacial age.
This is the theory OF Dr. Ales Hrd-
hcka, famous anthropologist of the

generally accepted notion about the
So called Neanderthal man, the type
of man who inhabited Europe just
prior to the appearance of the ear
lest known ancestors of present day
man.
1t must be remembered that the
very early history of mankind is
shrouded in great mystery. Almost
nothing is known about the begin
ming of the human race.
There are only two authenticated
fossils, the So-called PiltdoWn man.
The age of these two fossils esti-
mated differently by various author
tiles, some placing them at less than
half million years, others at more
than a million.
We have nothing more to go by
in the way OF skeletal remains until
We find those of the type known as
the Neanderthal man. However.
there are evidences of human beings
preceding Neanderthal man.
These consist of stone implements,
flint hammers or hatchetS, rude

mails which have been spllU To oo-

piles of bones and refuse accumu-
lations in front of caves.

TRANCE is willing TO abolish
Il battleships because she prefers
submarines.
England and the United States
are willing to abolish submarines,
because they prefer something else.
England demands parity with the
United States by agreement, be-
cause that is the only way she can
hope to maintain it.
Japan is willing to help France
and Italy get what they want, if
they will help her get what she
wants.
The United States is ready for
reduction along any line provided
it leaves her with navy as big as
Englands and bigger than that of
any other nation.
In other words, all five gov
ernments represented at the
naval parley are in favor of dis
armament if it does not interfere
with their traditional standing,
present plans, or future hopes.
1t is reasonable to expect that
the parley may result in some
saving to taxpayers, though not
without causing them trouble to
find employment for sailors, ship
wrightS, mechanics and experts
who would lose their jobs.
But what the powwow represents
as a war preventive is clearly re-
vealed by the fact that no one dares
to mention airplanes, poison gas, or
even the standing army.
AS far as effective fighting ma
chinery goes, this conference hardly
can leave the civilized world much
worse off.

There are villages in Alaska that can sympathize with the Maryland hamlet chosen by whale TOT its last resting place.

Andree's Return.
Manchester Guardian0

Andree has returned home, and fitting honor has been paid to his remains, which for over thirty years had been lost in the Arctic. From the story told by Dr. Gunnar Horn of the discovery Of the camp and of the imperfect bodies it is possible to reconstruct something of the tragedy which hap pened to the expedition That the explorer ana his companions survived perhaps for some months when their balloon down, and that finally they succumbed to the rgors of an Arctic winter appears to be clear. In his main object Andree failed but something may be gained from his re- corded observations that will prove that after all the expedition was not wholly failure. It was bold venture, it in it's methods pioneering adventure and the risks were proportionate. That the fates were against the expedition does not mean that it was foolhardy one. Andree was pioneer and accepted the risks It is as pioneer we honor him.

WESTERN GOLF

CHICAGO. July 22.-With
Lloyd Nordstrom. a hitherto un-
known player from Davenport,
Iowa. leading the field with
70, the Western ameteur golf
tournament went into the second
day of qualifying play here to-
day. BY nightfall and the COM
pletion Of the second eighteen
holes Of play the 80 entrants who
qualify for match play will be
named.
The nearest approach to par
and perfection yesterday was the
card turned in by Nordstrom, a
card that read, 38-34-72. Nord-
sthom's card was one stroke over
par. Hearing that there were
more than 200 entries in the
championship at starting time,
Nordstrom figured that one more
wouldn't do any harm and he
came in the tournament as an
added starter.
The Iowan took the lead over
two former Western amateur and
two former British champions and
the Chicago district and trans
Mississippi titleholdes.
Closest to Nordstrom were Cyril
Tolly. former champion of Great
Britain, who shot 35-38-73; Don
Armstrong, Aurora, Ill, star with
37-36-73, and Johnny Lehman,
Olympia Fields, ILL.,, 40-33-73.
