lowered with more horns than they really need
for adequate defense.
1t makes no difference whether the horns are
permanent in cattle and sheep, or whether
they come of and have to be grown anew each
year, as in the deer. They grow to unwieldy
sine just the same.
AS a matter of fact, in the deer family at
least, the horns do not seem to be especially
useful as weapons, at least against predatory
enemies. The females do not have them and
the bucks are unarmed from Spring until Fall,
yet they defend themselves and the helpless
fawns just the same. The best weapons Of q
deer or elk against q wolf his hoofs; old
timers in the West say that a mule-deer doe
can cut a coyote to pieces with her sharp front
hoof quicker than a man could kill it with
heavy club.
The overgrown antlers seem to be useful
mainly in the titanic head-on wrestling bouts
Zone can hardly call them fights between the
bucks during the mating season. And the
massive curled horns of mountain rams seem
10 be about three-fourths extra growth If q
bag baa-baa hits you, he likes to do it with the
middle Of his forehead; all the surplus horn
just sticks out useless ornament.
This notion that a lot of things that are con-
spicuously developed in the animal kingdom are
really Of no particular use to their poESessors
but have got that way simply because they got
started and couldn't stop, may seem at first
somewhat heretical. Certainly it doesn't agree
PaTIlcuAarly WeA Win elCLleE The Garner noCionS
about evolution or with the old notion, be-
loved by the schoolmen, that everything has
it's use.
The strictest and simplest Darwinism would
demand that we find an explanation for all
these overlength tuSks and outsi2e horns In
their survival value" The simon purest OAR
winian doctrine envisaged a world where
changes took place little by little. If q change
was advantageous, 1t was picked out and en-
couraged by natural selection: disadvanta-
geous, it was discouraged and eliminated by the
same sitting process in which the unfit were
ki1ed al.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-06-29

GO an 11-foot tusk a 6-foot horn must be
- something very advantageous to the owner.
The trouble was that such advantages were not
always evident, even after careful examination.
One Of the evolutionary theories that is even
older than Darwin's. that Of Lamarck, doesn't
fit the case any better Lamarcks idea was
that the animals got the changes that came
upon them by working for them. The often
cited CRATES neck, that grew long because gen.
erations of giraffes stretched to reach tree
branches, is a fair Illustration
But what an elephant would do to achieve
tuSks too long for his own convenience, or how
hard a rhinoceros must work in order to develop
3-foot horn when q 1-foot one would be
effective. the theory fails to tell.
And the Revolutionary idea that all these
things were specially created for the animals
own use is even harder to maintain if one really
tries to find out how the animals use all the
surplus beyond a reasonable means Of attaining
their ends. If 4-foot tusk is enough for
elephant to work and fight with, why lavish
twice much ivory him?
The partial answer to the riddle of over
development of horns tnslks or feathers. or
whatnot that these represent normal and use
full developments that have gone past the point
where they should have stopped has been called
"orthogenesis" by some scientists. That's
Greek word, or rather two Greek words, and
it means something like "single-track develop
ment." For "ortho" means straight or direct
and genesis" means getting born or coming
into existence.
Besides the teeth and horn we have already
looked at, there are feathers Birds are most
likely descended from reptiles, and feathers
were probably at one time something extra
fancy in the way of scales.
But having achieved the ends Of warmth and
flight and Identification, they often keep right
on growing. Long tail feathers are common,
from the relatively modest array of the ring
neck pheasant to the amazing developments of
such fowl as the peacock and the Tyre bird.
Beaks are another thing Of which birds often
get an awkward overdose. There Is the rhinoc-

The second chart contained in the
report shows the general tax rate from
1910 to 1890, presenting an increase In
total and county rates, while the State
rate has shown q steady decrease, due

revenue other than taxes on real and
personal property, such as the gasoline
tax.

County and the extension OF P1ney

10. The improvement Of Eastern and

will cause the more rapid development
Of the entire suburban section.
Factors Against Development.
Set against these factors indicating
Iapid growth, the committee considered:
the following facts tending to retaro
development:
nected with that of Washington City,
which has been comparatively slow dur
ing the past 20 years.
4. The tremendous increase in the
District of Columbia population dwell
ing in apartment houses, which has
increased more than 800 per cent our
ing the last 10 years.
Z Depressed business conditions.
Analysing these facts, the committee
came to the conclusion that there Will
be a as per cent increase In the county's
population during the next decade. 1t
Is pointed out that this is o reasonable
figure, in the light Of the 40 per cent
population between 1920 and 1880.
During that period the taxable basis
increased $50 per cent. Applying TINS
ratio between population and properly
value to the next 10 years, it is esti-
mated that the taxable basis will in
crease a. rer cent
The report states, however. that Gin
