These fish that came ashore because they had

This particular geologic depression ended not
merely a chapter, but a whole volume. The

legged "pillbugs" you find under boards and

Croneis 'they were the first families then; and
in their time there were no living rivals.

of the survival Of the simple and the destruc-

The ornate members of the group like over

hourished in times Of plenty, but they became
extinct long before their lowly. generalized and
conservative cousins had departed from the
scene"
At last. however, times got too hard even
for the fittest of the tribolites; OF more likely
a newer aristocracy, driven into more efficient
living by the spur of tight times, eliminated
them.
At any rate, we see, several geological de-
pressions later. the race of fishes ruling the
world and facing another period Of crisis, with
their water supply dwindling and their pools
becoming so stagnant that gill-breathing was
becoming nearly impossible.
This was one Of the big moments Of the
history Of animal life DR.. Croneis pictures
it briefly:

utes of that hour elapse before the age Of in
vertebrate animals Is well under way
Even the beginning of the age of reptiles
and the dominance Of the dinosaurs occurs
only nine minutes before the minute hand
reaches H. More surprising still is the fact
that mammals, the dominant life of the present,
have been the ruling animals of only the last
paltry two and half minutes of the hour
And man. commonly thought to have been
present for 1.000,000 to 1000 900 years. has
only occupied the center of the stage for q
breathless two or three split seconds. In fact,
man is such newcomer that he has existed
only while our geological clock has been strik-

Through all Of these ages of recurring de-
pressions, the curve of life has pursued an
upward spiral, as DR.. Croneis sees it. How

Victorian days, when evolution as a popular
Idea was a new thing under the sun.
DIR. Crones admits setbacks as well ad-
vances: the curve is ragged, though still always
upward trendng.
In times of stress, he says, the weak organ
isms have died out, but the strong have always
emerged from the troughs Of trouble more
powerful than ever. Modified to fit the chang

HOMES DECLARED
ESSENTIAL TO Jobs
Housing Conference Secre.
tary Makes Plea for Decent
Place to Live.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 14-It Is
useless to give man job unless you
give him a decent place to live, says
Miss Helen L. Alfred, secretary of the
National Public Housing Conference:
Men and women in comfortable
homes make better workers, she be-
lieves, and lit is high time that munic-
ipal and State governments all over
the country awakened to that fact"
The housing conference, non-proflt
educational organization, has been
fighting for many years to provide bet
ter homes for workers. Miss Alfred
backs the contention that a thorough
going revolution in housing for the
~aA0wer third is necessary before Amer
aca can face the civilized world with
clean hands.
Favor "Decentration."
And in step with the housing pro-
gram outlined by the conference Is the
new economic theory of "decentration,"
which Miss Alfred believes must be
achieved before the housing problem
for workers can be solved completely.
''It is very we'll to tear out ancient
Sums and replace them with modern
apartments. but there remains the un-
healthful and unsightly neighborhood
where many of the old evils still OBJ
tain" she says.
ITO solve that problem the apart
ments, or garden colonies, could be
constructed in the suburbs, but then
the problem of transportation to and
from work arises
For an eventual solution to both
problems, Miss Alfred turns to decep-
tration.
There is no need to crowd workers
into living quarters and working quar-
ters in the same vile section of large
CITY," she says.
In the first place, there probably is
no urgent need for all the workers in
any organization laboring in one con-
gested spot.
Every industry to which decentra-
traliZed and scattered to smaller COM
munities. In New York, home of the
worlds worst slums, we could move
many industries, either in whole or
in part, right out into the country
where the workers could live in health
full surroundings while earning a liv
ing. Thus decentration would co-ordi-
nate the problems of housing and de-
Capitalization of industry.
Loans Advised.
state ana local governments SnoulQ
do their immediate share in creating
better living conditions by passing
State laws establishing a State or mu-
nicipal housing authority to borrow
funds from the Federal Government
or sell bonds for the necessary money
to build modern living quarters for the
worker"
Housing, while fulfilling its primary
objective, can at the same time speed
economic recovery through providing
employment, Miss Alfred believes. and
she points to statements Of Prof. Oliver
M. w. Sprague, former presidential
monetary adviser, and Henry I. Harri-
man, president of the Chember Of
Commerce of the United States.
Mr. Hartman has said more than
s40,000,o00 900 would be required to
properly rehouse our population, ne
cessitating employment of millions Of
men
Prof. Sprague likewise believes re-
housing is one of the key points in ma
tional recovery.

AIRMAIL PILOT GETS
FLYERS HONOR MEDAL
Minnesotan Cited for Dropping
Motor Successfully in
Flight.

The first airmail flyers medal of
honor ever presented was conferred by
President Roosevelt yesterday upon Pilo:
Nal B. Freeburg of Minnesota in rec
ognition Of one of the most unusual
feats Of courage and skill ever per-
formed by an air transport pilot.
The medal was presented under the
authority Of Congress. voted three years
ago, but Freeburg is the only living man
so far to receive the honor.
Freeburg. a pilot for the Northwest
Airways, was given the citation for sue
cessfully negotiating his plane after
dropping a motor while carry eight
passengers from st. Paul to Chicago on
April IL, year ago.
Freeburg discovered at an altitude
of about 1900 feet that one of his
motors had broken loose and lodged on
a landing gear strut. He altered his
course and reached the Mississippi
River, where he succeeded in maneuver-
ing the plane so that the motor fell of.
Despite damage to the landing wheel,
Freeburg negotiated his plane to safe
landing at an emergency field.
Joe Kimm, the co-pilot. accompanied
Freeburg to the White House.
