SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ

BY DAVID DIETZ-
Full Significance of the "Pe-
king Man" Has Not Been
Realized By the World of
Science.
THE Peking man, as scientists
i have christened the fossil re-
mains of early man unearthed in
China in December. 1929, is likely
to throw more light upon the origin
of the human race than any dis
covery previously made. The full
significance of the Peking discovery
is not yet realized.
This il the opinion of Professor
G.. Elliot Smith of the University
of London, one of the worlds most
famous anthropologists.
DR.. Smith. on a visit to China last
year, was given the opportunity of
examining the Peking fossils.
Until the discovery of the Peking
man, scientists possessed only two
fossils from which to draw con-
clusions as to the antiquity of man
and both of these fossils were the
centers of violent controversies.
The two fossils were the Java ape
man, or Pithecanthropus. and the
Piltdown man, or Eoanthropus.
The Peking man or Sinanthropus.
to give it the scientific name which
has been conferred upon it, may
settle the disputes revolving around
the two other fossils, DR.. Smith be-
lieveS.
He anticipates no such dispute
over the Peking man as has been
aroused by the two other fossils.

More Controversy

DR. MILLER lists twenty points
~ upon which anthropologists
disagree over the nature of Pilt-
down Man.
The remains of Piltdown Man
were found in a gravel pit by
Charles Dawson in 1911 and 1912.
Workmen who had been excavating
in the pit previously evidently had
smashed the skull and perhaps
destroyed much of it.
In 1911 nine fragments of the
skull were found which fitted to-
gether into four pieces. The lower
jawbone was found with two teeth
in it.
The next year the nasal bones,
another tooth, and a few more
fragments of the skull were found.
Deliberate malice hardly could
have been more successful than the
hazards of deposition and recovery
in SO breaking the Piltdown fossils
and losing the most essential parts
of the original skull as to allow free
scope to individual judgment in
fitting the pieces together" DR..
Miller said.
Here is brief summary of some
of the conflicting opinions:
The fossils are 100000 years old.
They are 100000 years old.
The fragments are all of one man.
The skull is human and the jaw
Simian.
The jaw is human. The jaw is
ape-like.
The jaw was chinless. 1t was not
completely chinless.
The teeth are human. They re-
semble those of a chimpanzee. They
are most like those of an orang.
The creature was an ancestor of
modern man. He was an ancestor
of Neanderthal man. He was
neither He was missing link be-
tween the ape and man.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY HEEMq9D EES4%

COLONEL AMOS w. w. WOOD
" COCK, director of prohibition,
is against the use of women as de-
coys, or stool pigeons, in enforcing
the eighteenth amendment. Mr..
Woodcock, according to the New
York Herald Tribune, feels that the
use of women either as informers
or blinds for his federal agents
does not fit in with his determine
ton to enforce the law lawfully and
decently.' s"
u, S, Womanhood Again
TINE issue has been raised be-
l. tween Colonel Woodcock and
Andrew ATcCampbell, dry admins
traitor of New York. Mr.. McCamp-
bell, on the other hand, feels that
women are important in this work.
Without them it often is difficult
or impossible for a dry agent to
gain admission to fashionable
speakeasies.
It seems to me that Colonel
Woodcock is splitting hairs. The
use of stool pigeons, whether male
or female, is in itself undignif1ed
and indecent. When it becomes
necessary to resort to such methods
of enforcement, it is apparent that
there is something wrong with the
law.
1t seems silly to bubble at this
late date about what is right and
proper for man, but not for a
woman. Women have proved
themselves capable of doing many
things which were formerly consid-
cred mans work"
In fact, according to the histori-
ans, women always have played an
important part in politics. True,
they weren't given a voice. But
they were used as pivots for intri-
CUES of national and international
scope.
And, again, why should men be
subjected to the debaSing role of
informers? If the eighteenth
amendment is truly a noble ex-
pertinent" it should be enforced
nobly and not dragged down into
the mire of ridicule into which it
is sinking more and more deeply.

What's Been Done?

HEROfC measures have been
l. l. adopted to prevent the spread
of infantile paralysis, which is right,
but the auto has killed, or crippled
five times as many children since
the first of January, and what has
been done?
Millions of people face starvation,
while this country has more wheat
than it knows what to do with, and
again, what has been done?
Most emphatically, we need to
make more headway in solving
social problems, before we get too
excited over the prospect of immor-
tality, and we need to rearrange our
perspective and sense of value.
The Indianapolis times., 1931-08-31
Want to Get There

IT sounds fine, if not convincing,
L until one remembers all the
havoc being wrought by autos, gang
ster bullets, and other interruptive
forces.
To an ever-increasing number of
people, the problem is not how to
survive old age, but how to get
there.
Meanwhile, who would want to
live thousand years, even if he
could, and wouldn't the mind grow
sour, even if the body endured?

XXTHEN our knowledge of vita
w minis first began to develop it
was taken for granted that the
vitamins found in the fresh fruits
and vegetables could be had in
equal amounts by taking canned.
picked or preserved substances.
However, later investigation
showed that vitamin G, the anti
scurvy vitanin, could be modified
considerably or perhaps eIimi-
mated entirely by submitting it to
oxidation.
Oxidation occurs when such fruits
and vegetables are cooked in open
kettles on stove, and does not
occur to nearly so great an amount
when such substances are cooked
under high pressure in sealed cans,
as is done in the commercial cook
ing process.

Even Sacrifice Lives

IT'S strange thing what some
L people will pay for drugs and
what other people will do to get
their money.
The passion for artificial dreams
is as old as the passion for long
life. While quackS have searched
for the elixir of Iife," or the 'foun-
dation of eternal YOUTH" criminals
have produced stimulants and mar
cotics.
Thousands upon thousands not
only have impoverished themselves
but sacrificed their very lives to
make the traffic profitable.

Forgetting Human Nature

that the real problem is to save men

is devoted to patching up the in
juries we inflict on each other.

Just Another Job

DUT getting back to the ethics OF
- using women as decoys, Mr..
McCampbell is quoted as saying:
women are not and have not
been employed for that purpose. BY
that I mean they are not hired.
However, as I said the other day, I
see no objection to it if they care to
give their services free in cases
where agents are unable to get into
certain places unless they are ac-
companied by women"
Fie on you, Mr.. McCampbell! ]
see every objection to it. The wom-
an Cor mani is doubly damned, it
seems to me, who will turn informer
as favor to some one else. Though
it is hard to condone, I can under
stand why a person might accept
such role for pay.
There are apt to be mitigating
circumstances that make it impera-
tive Certainly no one but cad
would volunteer willingly for such
service.

before the assembly a resolution
embodying the Italian suggestion.
Addressing their appeal to all
who desire 70 realize the principles

the member governments TO de-
nonstrate their desire for the SIC
cess OF the disarmament conference
by abstaining, until the results o.
that conference are known, from al

that's quite a different story. SO Bob says; some
