TNHE southern ape-man" rep
resents Stage %. He also is
called the extinct South African
anthropoid and the Australopi-
thecus. He lived about 100000
years ago.
His fossil remains were found in
South Africa in excavations on
the eastern edge of the Kalahari
desert.
Professor Gregory, who has ex-
amined the fossil, says that its
teeth are more man-like than any
Of the existing gorillas and Chin
panzeeS. He regards the skull as
'Strikingly pre-human'
Man appears in Stage "a. This
stage is represented by the Java
ape-man, dug up at Trinil, Java;
the Piltdown man, found at Pitt
down, England; the Peking man,
and the Neanderthal man. These
represent the immediate fore
runners of modern man.
Stage 25 is modern man, known
to scientists as Homo sapiens."
Professor Gregory calls him the
big Drained devastator."
The existing anthropoids have
veritable passion for tearing
things apart" he says. But in
point of destructiveness they are
bungling amateurs compared with
their big-brained relative, Homo
SapienS.
In him, by series of con-
ditiOned responses, deStructiveneSS
within the family and tribal limits
was restrained, but when enemies
were to be ravaged and pillaged it
was given full rein.
For untold millions of years, the
line of vertebrates that led toward
man were unblushing thieves and
robbers. Even now, the human
face beneath it's smiling mask
carries the old mammalian trap
set with sharp teeth"
In spite of that. Professor Greg
DRY is hopeful for the future. He
believes that Homo sapiens
eventually will muddle through
this depression and survive to en-
dure others in the future"

Just Plain Sense
: BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A LONG with all other books, the encyclopedia
L n contains some inconsistent statements Look
up West Point, for instance and you will find this:
The basis of military training at West Point is
discipline. Cadets are taught absolute and unques-
toned obedience"
And a couple of lines down you may read the
following with faint surprise, The military training
aims to develop leadership"
To the unframed observer, these two aims seem
Singularly dSSimiar if not absolutely antagonstic
Blind obedience and leadership never yet have been
found in the mental makeup Not even West

For it is obvious that large number of them get

For millions who have been dis

business of good government to

that involuntary servitude shall
not exist.
The latter deprives of liberty,
the first of liberty, necessities of
life and pursuit of happiness. 1t
condemns to idleness without due
process of law or conviction. With
a real need and a natural right
the pursuit of the ever-illusive
phantom, employment, is not the
pursuit Of happiness.
Plenty of tools, materials and
need Of production, but the lions
share is boarded; the owners can
neither use it or sell it; so we
must wait, to secure the insured
domestic tranquility.
If it is the duty of governments
by supervision to guarantee

obligated to supervise the equity
of wages? Why inspect the purity

their distribution?
Destitution is more dangerous

Every Day RELIGION

4 S things now are going, a
IA child years old today will
have a f1fty-ffty chance of a per-
manent marriage when it grows
up. What is wrong with mar
riage? Nothing, but the new at
titude toward it is not only false,
but fatal.
The thing that makes marriage
a mess for so many is the same
thing that makes life a mess, only
more so; because marriage is so
intimate and vital. What is it?
Just selfshness, and the vanity
which make another human being
a plaything or door mat.
Shall marriage be destroyed?
mo, no" say the new seX-think-
ers, not quite destroyed-keep
the name in any event, and the
thing itself will not be missed"
That is, legalize hasty, imperma-
nent, irresponsible matings and
call them marriage.
But such unions are not mar
riage, and to call them by that
name does not make them such.
TITO put it plainly, what the
Il loose thinkers of today want
is to make life seX-shopping

Theory Gro1US Popular

IT is theory which at the mo-
i ment has commanded support
both from many conservative
bankers and from the American
Federation of Labor and the
farmer as we'll, Yet to me It
seems thoroughly unsound.
1t must be remembered that We
are confronted by condition
rather than a theory. 1 mean
that the world has gone far be-
yond the point where there is
much use in trusting to tempo
rary expedients. The illness Of
the world demands a great deal
more than sedatives.
I can not think Of any econo-
mist worth his salt who does not
believe that in the long run the
world would be better off if each
nation concentrated upon the
raising and fabricating OF such
goods as it is best suited for. But
this, they contend, is an ideal
which would need vast amount
of readjustment.
However, a policy Of almost
complete isolation also requires a
drastic reconstruction in our pro-
ductive setup. Since We are SUI
fering today from oyerproduction,
it seems hardly likely that this
grievous error will be corrected
by the process Of practically cut
ting of all markets across the sea.

FINDER the vast fog arising
" from discussions of Tech
nocracy. another theory of econ
omic life is advancing rapidly.
In fact, it already has come
close to gaining its detectives.
And I think that this scheme
should be weighed and discussed
before it becomes a set part of
our national existence. The most
descriptive name for this school of
thought is unitarianism. Its most
palpable manifestation at present
is in the Buy American cam
paign which has met favor In
many quarters.
Briefly, the economic unitarians
are convinced that recovery can
come only by a return 10 internal
self-sufficiency. Of course, peo-
pie who speak buying American"
are operating behind a smoke"
screen. What they really mean
is the erection of tariff barriers
high enough to be prohibitive.
But many who favor the new
policy hate to blurt that out.
After all, the echoes of the last
campaign hardly have died away,
and it will be embarrassing to
some of the Democratic supporters
of the new policy to be reminded
that a few harsh words were
spoken by them concerning the
iniquities of the Smoot- Hawley
tariff.

Swelling Enormous in Erysipelas

examining the blood in which the
white cells are found to have been
increased tremendously.
The most serious complication
to erysipelas is a secondary infec-
ton with germs that cause pus.
Under such circumstances the
swelling changes to abscess.
These assesses, if they occur in
important areas, even may reach
the brain or the spinal fluid and
thereby bring about death.
In the vast ma jority Of cases,
however, erysipelas is not a fatal
disease. In very young infants
and in very old and sickly people
it may be exceedingly serious, but
in general it causes a death rate
per year of about three people for
each 100000 in the community.

pezas.

USUALLY erysipelas begins on

day to day. so that it eventually
covers the entire side of the face,
including the eyelids, which be-
come enormously swollen and
filed with fluid. Usually the swell
ing is sufficient to close the eye
completely.
Then the disease spreads to
the ear. which thickens tremen-
dcusly and finally reaches the line
of the hair, where it stops abrupt

THE isolationists must rcscind

have not yet been repealed. The
law of supply and demand has
been statute which falls heavily
upon us. Unitarianism would
evade it by bootleg process.
First Of all will come farm relief.
This may take the form of sub
sides paid to farmers for raising
less than their potential crop or
by the older method of buying Up
the surplus and either storing it
or throwing the excess grain into
the Mississippi river.
The argument runs that once
the purchasing power of the
farmer is restored, all things will
be added on to this benefit.
There is a fallacy in that. A
higher price for wheat would
mean, for instance, that the
farmer again would come back
into the market for automobiles.
and within two years the market
would be 50 glutted with cars that
the men called back to work would
be on the breadline all over again.
Farm relief gets down to a con-
dition of controlled production.
and it is quite illogical and i'm
possible to limit production in one
key industry and leave the rest to
the dictates Of rugged individual
ism.

the contention that the new ma
tionalism would promote inter

HELPING THE HOMELESS

Chairman Black of the California state board of
forestry told senate committee last week fas-
cinat1ng story of how his state is sheltering of
the nations horde of unemployed transients
Two years ago California established a chain of
state labor camps. Today there are forty-three
such camps in operation up and down the noun
tans and foothills. More than 1000 men and boys
are given winter housing good food and clothing
six hours Of work day. and S. bill on discharge.
They cut fire trails, freproof forests make roads,
clean irrigation dtches fight insect pests do other
things for the lasting good of the state. They run
their own kangaroo courts discipline trouble
makers, organize their own recreation. On the
Mother Lode some of the more enterprising spend
evenings and Sundays panning gold gravel for few
extra pennies. Thus a is turned to blessing
But California like all the warmer states is over
run by jobleSs wanderers. Mr. Black estimates that
while the camp capacity can not be more than
$4,000 the state is swarming with 10000 transiens
1t has called for help from the Reconstruction Fl
nance corporation to maintain the camps through
the winter 1t wants federal aid through some
measure like the Cutting bill.
This bill would give federal grants to states for
care of transients instead of inadequate loans now
granted from the R. F. C.
Hearings on the Cutting bill have opened in
Washington 1t should be passed as an emergency
measure. Under it work-relief projects such as
CALIFORNIA;, could be launched in other states The
states not afford to provide sufficient relief as
CALIFORNIA; experience shows.
1t is not a state, but national problem: It
should be treated as SUCH Otherwise 100000 Ish-
maels may become serious health and peace men

THIRST the ocean, then the
i swamps, then the treetops
we're the homes of mans ances-
tors, according to Professor Will
liam K Gregory, famous author
ity on the subject of evolution,
who has traced twenty-five stages
in mans development from q
"pre-fsh" of 4OOOOO,000 years ago
to the man Of today.
During the last three days, I
have described in detail the first
eighteen stages Of this big pa
rade." These consisted of the
pre-fish, number of better de-
veloped fish, an amphibian, sew
eral reptiles, creatures that
spanned the gap between reptiles
and mammals, like the duckbill
platypus and Spiny anteater OF
Australia, a primitive mammal
that resembled the American
opossum, an insect-eating crea-
ture resembling the modern tree
shrew, which was the first of
mans ancestors to start climbing
trees and-Stage 13-the earliest
true primate.
Professor Gregory and other
students Of evolution class man
as a member Of the Order of
Primates." Other living members
today are the lemur, the tarsius,
the monkey, and the anthropoid
ape.
The opponents of evolution do
not believe that man is the des-
cendant of any Of these living
forms, but merely that all of
them are the common descend
ants of the first primate, the
