logical discovery in the twen-
tieth century,"
Ten years ago, Osborn pre-
dicted that the greatest sur
prise in store for twentieth CEN
tury science would be in the
discovery of a large-brained
Tertiary man! This discovery
has Unexpectedly been made;
for the paleontologic evidence
supports the conclusion that
Eoanthropus, the dawn man"
of Sussex, is Of Upper Pliocene
or Tertiary age.
The gist Of the discovery, as
stated by Osborn, is: The main
evolution of the human brain
took place during antecedent
Tertiary time and not, as for
merly supposed, during the
Quaternary Age of Man or Gla-.
cial period.
The significance of Osborn's
new theory regarding the
dawn man" is in the denial
of the Lamarck-D Darwin hypoth-
esis that man once passed into
highly specialized adaptations
attained by the Miocene apes.
Osborn would separate the hui
man stock at a geologically
earlier pre-Miocene period of
anthropoid evolution.
OSborn's new hypothesis
would carry us into a geologic
antiquity hitherto undreamed
of. An immense time, far
greater than formerly believed,
is requisite to explain and ac-
count for the natural evolu-
tion of the human brain. In

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

by Dr. Louis Il. BlSch-'
This is not the first time that
I have stressed the Importance
OF every person facing the true
facts about their health.
1t happens that in the United
States, contrary to the facts in
other countries, the death rate
begins to increase at middle life.
Why Is it that most people are
SO careless about the prime of
life? Or, rather, why are they
careless about the rules of
health, making their best years
sometimes their worst ones?
If we take care of ourselves
while we are young, we need
not worry about middle life.
and we ought not have to worry
about old age.
A few less than half a dozen
diseases accounted for 1926, ,92T
deaths in 1926! Heart disease,
circulatory disorders, tuberculo-
sis, pneumonia, kidney affec-
tions and cancer--these still are
the grim reapers.
How strange it really Is to
have to try and persuade any
body to look after his own
health.
Yet people continue to die
long before their time because
they will persist in taking
chances.
There is no reason why any
man or woman cannot live to be
q hundred If he wants to.
h Those tremendously large fig
ures quoted above could so
easily be. cut in two or even to
a quarter.
To be sure, the popularizing
of medical knowledge Is a tre-
mendous step forward in the
prevention of disease.
Nevertheless, although phySi-
clans are doing their part they
do not get the cooperation they
deserve from those very persons
whom they are desiring to as

Funny how we are about love.
We may be, and frequently
are, the worlds worst flop in

lives but just let anyone try

Of the Great Lovers of history,
and see where they get off!
Who coined that phraSe-"hum-
BILE lover?" Whoever did was
merely mouthing. For if there's
an un-humbler creature on
earth than a lover, I want a
peek at it through the bars.
A man may be a fool in bust.
ness, a ruffian in morals, a pig
as to personal habits. He may
even concede these facts. But
when it comes to love, he ad-
mitS no flaw, He is positive
that Dante, Romeo and Valen-
tino have nothing on him. And
he expects lifelong admiration
and gratitude from the object
Of his affection. If perchance
she should fail to share his en-
thusiaSm and show her prefer
ence for another, he feels quite
justified in shooting her and
his rival. For doesn't he "love"
her? Then how dare she cool
toward him?
Or consider Injured Wives,
whose husbands interests have
Strayed. Do they ever confess
that they themselves are partly
to blame for such delinquency?
Do they acknowledge that
there's something amiss with
the quality of their love? Far
from it! Invariably they insist
that they were Perfect Wives
and the Other Woman an I'm
scrupulous Thief.
Or take a bride. AS daughter
or employe she may have been
the village dud. Commercially
her time and efforts were worth
about sis per week. But can
you convince her that she isn't
worth a million as a missis?
Try and do it.
How do we get that wayP We
get that way because our popu-
lar theories about love are cock
eyed nonsense. Love is supposed
to be something apart from all
other human experiences "di.

swineherd on a leve! with a

Hogging the Right of Way

Statistics upon automobile accidents gathered by the New
York Automobile Club might analysed be of Importance to
traffic authorities of Washington in reducing automobile acc
dents here
They show that oNETH1RD of all accidents that State
1929 resulted from hoggng and oneffh from
speeding The accuracy Of these figures borne out in
every other part Of the country.
The experience of automobile drivers here is that ROAD
HOGS responsible for large percentage Of accidents and
would be responsible for still larger percentage but that
careful drivers yield their rights of way to prevent accidents
Next casualty producers the speed boys dregarng

When the traffic policemen of this city drascay teach

be accidents Every responsible driver Washington
daily using his machine through city Streets has his right Of

the extent of his driving.

A vast mass of observations,
discoveries and researches since
the days of Lamarck and Dar-
win is already causing a modi-
fication Of the scientific views
of those two great scientists.
Both Lamarck and Darwin en-
fertained an ''ape-man" hypoth-
eSis, based upon the closer ap-
proach of the anthropoid apes
to man than that observed in
any other group. This work
ing hypothesis was advanced
for want of any positive data.
According to Henry Fairfield
Osborn, a vast quantity of new
data accumulated during the
past century now compels the
substitution of a new hypothe-
sis for the formerly and firmly
supported hypothesis. of La
l11arck and Darwin.
L For example. to show how
strong is the old Lanarck-D -Dar-
win hypothesis, one need only
quote the words Of Sir Arthur
Keith, spoken in 1927 before
the British Association for the
Advancement of Science:
/ "All the evidence now at our
disposal supports the conclusion
hhat man has arisen, as La.
Anarck and Darwin suspected,
from an anthr0pOid ape not
higher in the geological scale
than q chimpanzee, and that
fhe date at which human and
anthrOpoiI lines of descent be-
gan to diverge lies near the be-
ginning of the MiOcene period.
On our modest scale Of reckon
ing, that gives man the respec-
table antiquity Of about one
million years."
y Osborn has recently startled
the world of science by sharply
questioning this strongly en-
trenched view. He says:

Hackney Wants Officer
Promoted for Bravery

Editor, Times:
Having just read the thrilling
story in today's issue Of your
splendid paper, of the brave,
noble and heroic deed per
formed by the youthful patrol
man, Earl L. Baker of the Sec
ond precinct, hasten to sug.
gest that you Immediately pro-
ceed with your usual progres-
sive policy in advocating due
official recognition as well as
a substantial promotion for this
splendid young officer, who has
demonstrated such unusual cour-
age and bravery in the face
of almost certain death at the
hands of a craZed man, subdu-
ing and arresting him without
resorting to firearms and at
the same time saving the life Of
an equally brave and courage
Gus young woman whom he
sought to murder. 1t Is just
this kind of acts which make
the citizens of our National
Capital proud of the high type
of men on both our police and
fire departments.
In spite of the severe criti-
cism, it is the consensus OF opin.
ion that the vast majority of
the men on both these impor-
tant public service organizations
are above the average in intel
ligence, loyalty and devotion to
the public interests in the pro-
lection of human life and prop
erty, and in my Judgment the
good and strong traits rather
than the weak and inefficient
in every human organization
should be emphasized, as it is
impossible to have any group Of
individuals entirely free from
some weak links, which, unfor-
tunately, reflect discredit upon
the entire organization.
In view of the foregoing facts
I most sincerely trust that
through your splendid efforts
in behalf of these our faithful
public servants. both the Com
missionerS and the able heads
of the two departments, accord
due recognition and reward to
all such unusual meritorious
service, and I am confident the
citizens of Washington will
most heartily in dorSe such
action.
