.BANDITRY GAINS
IN CHEK|ANG

SHANGHAI. April IL d.N.S)-
New groups of bandits, apparently
independent of the large organ
lied force under Chu Teh, the
Kiangsi chieftain, are reported
to be operating in Chekiang
province. A force of 500 bandits
is said to have captured and
sacked one town, beheading the
officials and taking the wealthiest
residents captive.
Other and smaller bands are
spreading terror throughout the
countrysides, robbing peasants,
kidnapping those for whom ran
SONS might be paid, destroying
property they cannot carry away
and impressing some Of the young
able bodied men into the bandit
service.
Because of the absence of any
protective military organization,
bandits are able to carry on their
outrages without fear Of molesta-
tion.
It was reported here today by
Finnish officials who have been
seeking information Of the fate
of three Finnish women mission
aries, captured some time ago,
that to the best Of their knowl-

the women. more than 80 years

Then the other camp-for the

At twilight when the days

were rung.
The miners, imbued with patri-
otism, would hasten to the saloon
and with the bartenders as
chaperones would drink the bar
rel dry.
Then one night the Middletown
fire bell did not ring. It had been
stolen. No rally was held. WhiS-

MEN AND APES
ARE COUSINS

In a radio address here last
night, DR.. Austin H. Clark, curator
of the National Museum. said:
''Msn is mot an ape and there
is not the slightest evidence that
man is descended from an ape"
But, he added, there is no doubt
that man and the ape are de-
Scended from q common ancestor.
Speaking In a series of scientific
broadcasts sponsored by the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company, DR..
Clark said:
''In the very remote past, man
and the apes must have had a
common ancestor. This common
ancestor could not have re-
sembled either man or ape as we
nnOw men and apes today.
COMPARES DOG BREED
''The relationship between
man and the apes may be under
stood by comparison with the
relationship between q grey.
hound and o bulldog. These two
very different types Of dogs are
both descended from o wolf
which in mentality as well as i'm
bodily form Is very different
from either Of them. t
"The common features of
human structure and anatomy
were inherited i'm accordance
with the unbrOken continuity
of descent from parent to
child, from some unknown an.
cestOr common to all the pri-
mates, but 50 far as we have
been able to discover, not
through an ape as we under
stand that term. The detail of
mans structure and his men
tality are his alone"
Pointing to evidence that man
could not have descended from
the ape, DR.. Clark said it had
been proved that the evolution
Of anatomical organs is never
reversible, and parts once lost
can never be restored. He said:
"On this principle, the htl-
man hand could never reac:
quire the nerves, muscles, func.
tions, freedom, flexibility and
separate innervatiOn lost i'm
the highly specialized hand OF
the ape. The OppOSable hu-
man thumb could not spring
back from the partly atrOphied
ape thumb.
'aThe evidence pointing to
the complete separation Of man
and the apes is overwhelming"
