look to Land

CMITHSONIAN officials say that
~ the fossil in DR.. Walcott's collec-
ton can not be identified positively
with the living form of the
peripatus.
1t has been identified, DR.. Resser
announces, as member Of the same
class Of the general arthropod
family By DR.. G. E. Hutchinson of
Yale university.
The only alternative seems to be
that this creature represented a
highly developed type OF the
annelid worms which swarmed in
the Cambrian seas and whose trails
are found in the rocks" he saws.
During the Cambrian period the
creature was undoubtedly a marine
animal. At some point It took 10
the land and has remained there
ever since"
Another Cambrian creature which
possibly was in the ancestral line OF
the airbreathing scorpions has iust
been received by DR.. Resser from
Utah.
This is a fossil Of a hitherto nm
known variety of merostome crus-
tacean collected by Frank Beckwith
OF Willard county, Utah, and is one
OF the most perfectly preserved
examples Of its family yet found
There is an enormous gap between
1t and any living creature.

Views Of Times Readers

Editor Times - Today I was
talking with one Of my very good
friends, and the current subject Of
the strain Of the times became the
topic.
In chasing our thoughts from
cause TO result, and result back to
cause, we finally decided that the
cure for it all would in the end be
youth.
And why not? Isn't the youth Of
today, and always, the inspiring fac
tor?
Without it, we would have no
romance, no ambition, and certainly
very little stimulant. We try land
by all means should to set an ex-
ample for the younger generation to
follow.
But If we are so old in our ideas
and our business and political
methods as to invite graft, debauch-
cry, and a general breaking down of
our social structure, then it is in
deed high time to inject a little
youth into the program and to give
it a chance.
BY youth I mean young and new
ideas coming from fertile not stag
nant minds, from persons who have
not lost their nerve, who realize that
this is still grand place in which
to live, and that all the wealth that
was ever here still remains.
Nobody has carried It away, nor
destroyed it. but a great many Of us
have been blinded to the point
where We could walk through a field
Of flowers as thick as hops and as
high as our knees and still never see
a thing Of beauty.
The individual who always keeps
his nerve and keeps his chin up is
the one who win begin to do things.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Fossil of First Creature Be-
lieUed to Hare LiUed on
Land Is in Smithsonian
Collection.
THE fossil OF the first creature
4 to live on land. and therefore
the ancestor Of all animals. includ-
ing man, which live on the CONT
nents today, Is believed to be In the
collections Of the Smithsonian in
stitution.
He is a queer little creature that
lived approximately 500.000,000 years
ago. in what biologists call the
Cambrlan era.
He has been referred to as "a
worm with legs"
He was one Of the most wonder
fully preserved fossils found in Brit
ish Columbia by the late DR.. Charles
D. Walcott. <ormer secretary Of the
Smithsonian institution, who was
struck by its unusual features and
left among his papers unpublished
notes Of his studies.
DR.. Walcott made a preliminary
announcement. The notes he left
Just have been published by the in
stitution, with additional notes by
DR.. Charles Resser. long DR.. Wal
colts associate in the study Of Cam
brian fossils.
THE popularity Of this very an
cient worm is that there Is
handwriting animal alive today
from which it hardly can be distin-
guished," the institution points out.
The curious trilobites and many
other sea creatures OF a half billion
years ago vanished, leaving no d.
rect descendants.
although distantly related TO the
crabs and spiders of the present,
there is an unbridgable gap be-
tween them and any handwriting
animals alive today

Queer Creature

"DUT there still exists in Africa,
ID Australia, South America,
and the West and East Indies a
curious, seclusive creature known
as the peripatus, generally assumed
to be a relative Of the crabs and
spiders, although it looks like a
legged worm" Austin H. Clark.
Smithsonian biologist, tells.
These animals live under the
bark Of trees, in the burrows Of
white ants, or beneath stones. They
avoid light and therefore rarely are
seen. They move slowly. picking
their way by means Of their anten-
nae.
The peripatus probably is the
worlds champion splitter. When
irritated. one of these animals will
eject with considerable force the
contents Of a slime reservoir by
means of a sudden contraction of
the muscular body walls.
ut can throw this slime for as
much as six inches. In this way 1t
strikes down flies, which it devours,
tearing its prey with Jaws which
it has the power of extruding from
its mouth.
There are few humber, more OBJ
scure creatures on earth than this
Shiny lover Of darkness. But the
specimens among DR.. Walcotts fos-
sils indicate that it may have the
tallest family tree Of any creature
now alive.
IF the fossil is indeed that Of an
early peripatus, this weak, but
vicious creature somehow must have
survived through vast cons of lost
time, largely unchanged when all
other branches Of the animal king
dom were undergoing vast changes"

For and Against Him

7 KNOW what is being said
L agains@ Smith. He is a Cath

big business men, and wet. The
south lurned on him four years ago
and might do so again. He has
been defeated once and that always
is bad in the eyes of professional
politicians.
am not a Catholic. and I have
little sympathy With the Tammany
Hall brand of politics. I do not
want to see big business exercising
any such influence with the next
administration as it has with the
present one.
still, I am for Al Smiths nom
nation. I believe that he is sound,
courageous, and aggressive, not
alone in accordance with the prin-
ciples Of his party, but in accord
ance with those of his country.
I believe that he can think in
terms of human sympathy and hui
man rights, and that his concep-
ton of government comes nearer to
that of the founders of this repub-
lie than does the conception of
some other men properly pedigreed
and vouched for in our book of
Snoos.
I believe that Smith has drawn
the same kind of inexplicable genius
for doing and saying the right thing
from the back alley that Lincoln
drew from the backwoods; that he
is one of those curious men who
just know people.
The country always needs such
men, but especially in times like
these. 1t is a shame to see them
cast aside by cheap politics and
cheaper prejudices.

knows Of all of the possible rela-
tionships of the hiccup as a symp-

In a recent consideration Of the
subject, DR.. Charles w. Mayo listed
some of the ways in which hiccup
can be brought about.

Falling Into Theory Trap

DUT already I perceive that I
ID am joining in the error which
I have criticised. AT the moment
of writing, there is no sure evidence
that the crime was a scheme Of
professionals. At the beginning it
was my notion that the kidnapping
had been accomplished by some de-
mented rustic of the. immediate
neighborhood.
Whether this is true or not I do
not know, but it is pointless to talk
of the extension of capital punish
ment and other things Of that sort
until we have adequate knowledge
Of the nature Of the killers and Of
their motivation.
None, 1 think, is free from a
desire that punishment should be
visited upon the persons guilty of
this deed. But even more important
than this fulfillment Of righteous
anger is the solution of the much
more important problems of "Why?"
If we are content with a "Who?"
solution, we will have failed to erect
sufficient safeguards against the
horrible potentiality Of any repeti-
ton Of the tragedy. Scapegoats will
not suffice. Now, more than ever
before, we must be certain that
we know.
