What, Wedding Without
n Single Comic Featured

The movie comedy director was sit
ting in the front row at his friends
wedding. He was in a bad humor, for
not single usher was inebriated, and
the organist did not have an Adams
apple that would have been funny in
a closeup. The bride entered So
dately, and the groom and best man
made their way to the altar without
mishap. The director began to writhe.
The bride wore a peach of . long
veil, but no one stepped on It. One
laugh after another spoiled! Even
the minister failed, and held the
prayer book right side up.
1t was getting unbearable. And
when the best man reached for the
ring and found 1t in the first pocket,
without fumbling. the director could
stand 1t no longer. Quite forgetting
himself, he leaped up and in a voice
OF rage shouted: do that over !!
Where do you think you are-in .

No Positive Proof of
Mankind's Original Home

The mere fact that primitive types
OF mankind have. been found as far
apart as Java, England and China
means, that these three divergent de-
scendants Of some common ancestor
had already wandered to the extreme
limits, east and west, of the great
continental land mass after they had
become differentiated in the process
Of their evolution. Hence the fact Of
their worldwide wanderings indicates
that none Of these three places nee
essarily has any relationship at all
to the place Of the original home Of
mankind.
Ten years ago there was found in
Rhodesia the fossilized skull Of a
primitive type of man which may have
survived in this part Of the world I'M
til comparatively recent times; but
whether the actual example Of Rho
desian man whose remains were
found in the Broken Hill mine IL an
Client or modern, he certainly repre-
sents an extremely primitive type Of
the human family, possibly near akin
to the Heidelberg man whose jaw was
FOUND in Germany in 1907. This biz
are member of the human family IL
definitely distinct from all other
known types Of extinct man.-Nsw

The action of the compass needle
is accounted for by considering the
earth as a huge magnet, with one
Of its poles not far from the North
pole and the other not far from the
South pole. The North magnetic pole
of the earth attracts the north-seek-
ing pole of compass needle, which
is magnetized. One explanation given
for the earth's magnetism Is that II
is due to electrical currents caused
by the daily heating Of the earths
surface.

The squad of five men, is op-

The handling of business frauds.
