veloped.
Now, Dr. T. B. Layton argues
that this type of face is not due to
adenoids or mouth breathing, but
must be the result of some other
forces which gradually have tend
ed to produce the appearance in
the English species.
The famous British anthropolo-
gist, Sir Arthur Keith, has Sug-
gested that it may be associated
with some dietary fault or generally
poor hygiene.
Nevertheless, many British ply
sicians are convinced that the con-
dition is wholly due TO mouth
breathing and to failure to secure
proper closing of the jaws and
teeth.
There seems to be no question
that long continued nasal obstruc-
ton during early life will interfere

Cross Qualifications

THIS convention wisely might
Il follow the Wilsonian tradition
and draft another professor as its
standard bearer. Governor Cross of
Connecticut has not been seriously
mentioned, but he would make an
excellent candidate, and his qualifi-
cations Of heart and mind entitle
him to serious consideration.
He is better equipped for the job
than most of the men who have
been prominent in battle for the
nomination.
In the realm of journalism, I can
think Of two names which the
Democrats would do we'll to bear in
mind. James Cox of Ohio was bad
ly beaten when he ran, but I think
that most Americans are ready by
now to admit that the result of that
election was major tragedy in
national politics. The voters might
be anxious to make amends.
And it must be said that even in
defeat Mr.. Cox emerged from the
campaign with credit. He was bold
and fortnight in championing the
League of Nations, and surprisingly
courageous on the prohibition issue
at a time when popular sentiment
had not yet begun to swing against
the drys.

THE Democrats have assured
i themselves of one thing, at any
rate. They are going to put on a
good show in Chicago. And it is
evident that it will not be neces-
sary to consult a Spectator to get
aisle seats for the Republican gath
ering. That performance already is
doomed to cut rates.
Drive of Franklin Roosevelt for
the Democratic nomination has
been slowed, rather than stopped,
and if he is defeated at least will
have the consolation prize of being
able to veto the claims Of any con-
tender who led to his undoing. In
fact, the chances for a good old
fashioned deadlock grow.
The final choice may not come
until Roosevelt, Smith, Garner,
Senator Lewis. and a few others
have been eliminated. These gen.
tlemen first must cut one another's
Threats and then sit down in amity
to discuss just which man within
the ranks they hate the least.

And the Country Suffers

POLITICIANS have tried to APP
Il proach the campaign along or
thodox lines, and who can blame
them? 1t is beyond human nature
to forsake time-honored methods of
doing given job until, or unless, it
becomes absolutely necessary.
To the average politician, this was
just one more election, calling for
funds, clubs and hallyhoo, with
congress expected to furnish a large
portion Of the latter.
In spite of all the cooperation
smush last fall, there was a more
or less definite idea on the part Of
Democrats not to make things over
~ comfortable for the Hoover adj
miniStration, while the Republicans
were equally anxious to prevent the
Democrats from stealing any thun-
der that might arise as a by-prod-
uct Of helpful legislation.
Naturally enough, jockeying for
advantage became the major OBJ
jective. while the country suf-
fered from lack of action.

Under ordinary circumstances.
depression would have turned them
against the party in power, but the
circumstances are far from ordi-
nary.
This is one depression in which
the whole world shares. People are
not quite sold on the idea that any
single government could have pre-
vented it, much less any political
party. They believe that certain
changes in policy might have helped.
About the only thing they are
agreed on is that the federal bud
get should be balanced, partly
through increased taxes and partly
through a cut in expenses.
They have been disappointed and
alarmed by the inability of congress
to move faster.
The strength of President Hooyer's
recent message lies largely in the
fact that it expressed what was
uppermost in the public mind.

Anesthetic Used

TT is difficult to believe" DR..
i Hrdlicka continues, that such
painful operations as the trephin-
ings in question, some OF which
took long time, could have been
performed while the patient was
fully conscious.
1T indicates that some sort of
anesthetic was used probably some
narcotic which rendered the victim
insensible to pain.
The wounds show astonishingly
few traces Of infection. This indi-
Gates that some sanitary precau-
tions must have been taken and
that antiseptic lotions, powders, or
ointments were used.
Several Of these, made from
native herbs, we're, it is known,
familiar to the Indians. There APP
parently was a fair knowledge of
anatomy among some of the abb
original medicine men, gained en-
pirically from handling Of patients,
as well as Of animals.
THE operations were performed
with stone, obsidian and copper in
struments. by cutting, saving, scrap
ing and drilling.
In scraping, which was often ex-
tensive, the surgeon would go
through the outer and middle lay
ers of the skull without touching
the inner compact layer which lay
next to the membranes OF the
brain.
Where a larger area Of bone was
to be removed, it was customary to
cover the space with criss-cross cuts
and then TO pry out the pieces Of
bone, one after another.
Some of the skulls show two,
three, or even more such operations.
evidently performed at intervals of
years. In general, the wounds show
good healing, which indicated that
the patient survived and lived long
after"

NEW YORK, May The
IN change OF atmosphere at
Washington shows what a little
leadership can accomplish. Congress
is in a much better mood than it
was at this time last week, and the
country at large feels much more

Not that the country at large is

the first time in three months, it
has reason to believe that the
necessary bills will be passed.
The country at large never has
regarded the problem Of recovery

cause it has had no opportunity to
distinguish between partisan plans.
Neither party has announced any
thing like a coherent program.
The treasury department has
made certain recommendations.
which have been amended, modified.
or thrown away to make room for
substitutes by various congressional
committees. AS a general PROPOSE
ton, party alignments have gone to
smash at the most critical moment.
The result has been confusion,
rather than clean-cut cleavage.
The country has had little chance

Platform VIII Count

DRESIDENT HOOVER has gone
Il long way toward setting
things right, and it will be very
hard to rob him of the credit,
though Democrats can do great
deal for their party by falling into
line.
In this connection, both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans would do well
to remember that the election is
likely to be won on issues and argu-
ments which have little moro than
an indirect bearing on the depres-
sion.
What the footloose voters are
waiting to learn is how the parties
stand on such things as prohibition,
power, graft and foreign trade.
This is one Of those rare occa-
sions on which the platform may
count for more than the candidate.

Among the charges particularly

charge that they are associated
with deformity of the face known
as "adenoid face" in which the nose
is thin and poorly developed, the
teeth irregular, with the upper
teeth protruding, the mouth open,
and the expression vacant.

II the American Indians entered
the new world by way OF Alaska
from Siberia about $1,000 years ago.
He believes, therefore, that the
art of trephining may have been
brought in from Asia.
The greatest development of this
art, he says, came in the noun
famous country OF what are now
Peru and Bolivia, where many bat
ties were fought with sings, clubs
and stone and copper maces.
The most frequent wounds were
cracked skulls. Bits of bone would
be pressed against the brain. The
practice o. the surgeons was to
clear out the splintered or depressed
area and relieve the pressure.
This often required removing
rather large segments of the skull.
Then the brain, relieved OF re-
straint at this point. would push
outward. The Indian surgeons in
such cases developed the art OF fit
ting the holes in the skull with
shell, gourd, and sometimes silver
plates, to prevent the dangerous
brain hernia.
They performed clean operations,
skillfully smoothing of any sharp
or jagged edges Of the hole they
made. They apparently did not ac-
tually touch the brain itself, stop
ping just short Of it. This must
have required considerable prac-
tice."
DR.. Hrdlicka found in his collec-
tons few skulls where the wounds
showed no healing and there was
other evidence to indicate that the
operations were performed after
death. These, he believes, probably
were practice operations.

Il we're skilled in at least one type
Of surgery before the coming Of Co
lumbus. They successfully practiced
the method Of drilling the skull
known variously as "trepanniiig" or
''trephining."
For many years anthropologists
have been aware OF the fact that
this operation was performed in pre-
historic times in the old world.
Frequently ancient skulls are
found with one or more holes drilled
in them. The condition Of the cuts
indicate that the patient survived
the operation and lived for many
years thereafter.
It has been assumed that the op-
Grafton was performed as a cure for
disease, perhaps as a means Of re-
leasing supposed evil spirits.
Now DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator OF
physical anthropology Of the Smith

from an extended observation Of
skulls in the United States National
Museum at Washington that the IN

He comes to the conclusion that
the operations were not performed
as a sort Of magic. but as emergency
treatment required as a result of
