Apes and Men

THE opposum, according to Pro-
i fessor Gregory, marks an early
stage of adaptation of arboreal life,
or life in the trees.
The seventh picture brings us
nearer to the creatures regarded by
scientists as the more immediate
ancestors of man. 1t shows the
"notharctus osborni," lemuroid
primate, whose skeleton was found
in Wyoming.
The scientist uses the term
"primate" to designate the group of
animals which includes the mon
keys, apes and man. The most
primitive of this group today is the
lemur. 'Lemuroid" means resem-
bling the lemur.
"Notharctus, Professor Gregory
says, illustrates an early stage in
the evolution of the primates, with
hands and feet thoroughly adapted
for grasping the limbs of trees
The eighth painting shows a fe-
male anthropoid ape and infant.
The existing anthropoids, espe-
cially the Chimpanzee," says Pro-
fessor Gregory, ARE living fossils.
Although now somewhat over
specialized for arboreal life, these
apes retain many characteristics in
the brain, skull, teeth, backbone and
limbs, which appear to be inherited
from the remote common ancestors
Of apes and men"
The ninth picture represents men
of the Neanderthal race. Neanther-
thai men flourished upon earth at
the close of the Ice Ages.
AS the Ice Age ended, he was
replaced by Homo Sapiens, true
man, as We know him in the world
today.
Speaking of Neanderthal man,
Professor Gregory says, This an
Gent and extinct human species
retained certain ape-like characters
in the skull, brain-cast. and feet"

IRON fish to man, the natural

series of paintings recently unveiled
in the new hall of the Natural His
tory Of Man in the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, New York
The paintings were made by F. l.
Jaques, an artist on the museum
staff. They tell the story of mans
evolution through the geological
eras as visioned by modern sci
entists.
The first picture shows an an

According to Professor William
K. Gregory, member of the staff of
the museum and the faculty of Co
lumbia university. cheirolepis was
an extremely primitive fish, in which
locomotion in the water was eff
fected chiefly by undulation of the
body.
The fins were mostly folds OF
skin supported by bony rods and
used mainly for steering and bal
ancing.
The second picture shows another
fish which fourished a few million
years later, the "eusthenopteron,
whose fossil remains have been
found in Canada.
In this fish, Professor Gregory
tells us, the pectoral and pelvic fins
have become strong paddles. The

"CURROGATE JOHN P. O'BRIEN,
- Democrat, is a 25-to-1 favor
tie over Lewis H. Pounds, his Re-
publican opponent for mayor of
New York
I think there is food for ref1ec-
ton upon the part of the average
voter in these simple betting odds.
Surely they do not mean that Sur
rogate O'Brien is fitted conspicu-
ously for his job and stands out
over all and every rival. You know
better than that. Even Surrogate
O'Brien knows better.
Nor does it mean that New York
is in such vital debt to Tammany
that we will take none but those
who wear the brand of the Tiger
across their foreheads. Tammany
has been beaten in New York and
can be beaten again. But it will
not be beaten now or ever by any
rival organization which does not
even mean to try.
What We get in municipal cleo
tons is a stable entry. Both major
parties are running under the same
Colors, and the partnership of Curry
and Koenig declares to win the
Tammany entry.

GN.S0 Latin America was
land Of strange contrasts today
as two wars seemed about to end,

Slvely toward Bogota, Colombia,
where it was reported the govern
ment had ordered establishment
of training camps for reserve Off

and citizens demanded war with

CRUZEIRO CITY, Brazil, Sept.
80 GNSD.-For the first time
in three months, cannon, rifles
and machine guns were stilled
along the Sac Paulo front today
as formal peace negotiations
were launched to end the bloodi-
est civil war South America has
ever known.
Federal military officials and
leaders of the revolt conferred
throughout the night, discussing
peace terms while battalion after
battalion of the defeated rebel
army laid down its arms.
The task of negotiating
truce was undertaken by Gen.
Goes Monteiro, federal military
commandant. and Gen. Ber-
tholde Klinger, PrusSian-trained
chief of the Paulistas.
At 4 a. m. when the truce
makers retired for a rest. federal
spokesmen admitted that wide
concessions we're being granted

WALKER SILENT
t ONPLANSFOR
COMEBACK

GIBRALTAR, Sept. 80 GN.SO.
Cloaking his plans in secrecy,
former James j. Walker of New
York today intimated he would
not make any decision upon stag
ing a "vindication campaign" for
reelection to the mayoralty until
he returns to the United States.
His statement was interpreted
as meaning he plans to discuss
the question with Tammany lead
ers and his former colleagues
upon reaching New York before
making a definite decision.
Disembarking from the Italian
Liner Rex, held here by turbine
trouble, Walker was handed
copies of cables from New York
telling of the ruling of the appel
late division that a mayoralty
election must be held on No
vember 8.
Although the decision gave
Walker the opportunity for vindi-
cation for which he clamored
when he sailed suddenly from
New York a few weeks ago, he
did not indicate that he planned
to leap into the fray.
Obscure About Libby
If he was obscure about his
political plans, he was equally
SO concerning the report that
he might defend Libby Holman,
former Broadway star facing trial
for the death of her husband,
Zachary Smith Reynolds.
Despite statements to the con-
trary by Miss Holman's family
and lawyers, Walker said he
understood" there was a move
ment afoot to engage him for the
defense. He said:
81 understand they want to
retain me But as in the case
Of the mayOralty, 1 must wait
until get home and can dis
cuss conditions"
In order to be back in New
York by October 6, on which date
Tammany plans to hold a city
wide convention to choose a
mayoralty candidate, Walker is
expected to sail tomorrow aboard
the lVulcania instead of waiting
Tor the Rex to be repaired.
