1--WE have the rather startling fact
revealed" Doctor Broom said,
"that the canine tooth is enlarged
as in the chimpanzee or gorilla and
is typically human. 1t is even small
err than in most human skulls.
Further, there is no gap between
the incisor and the canine so that
the teeth form continuous series
as in man.
In 1885 Doctor Broom found in
the Sterkfontein caves the greater
part of an adult skull, without man.

Australopithecus Transvallensis.
At that time Doctor Broom al
ready had the greater part of the
braincast of the top of the skull,
with the frontal ridges and bones.

of the right side. Later he discov-
cred the upper left jawbone well
preserved, with the first and second
molars and the sockets of the in

Broom discovered the lower wis

Loved Tree Falls.

A gnarled old apple tree that had
stood for many years on the limo
thy Miller place in West Libby fell
before the onslaughts of the storm
Friday night. The old tree was
planted 80 years ago and in all the
years since that time it was thing
of beauty in the spring with its
load of blossoms, it provided shade
and comfort to the family, and a
crop of apples for their delight in
the fall. It is easy for anyone who
has ever helped in the care of such
tree to realize that no small de-
gree of affection can find repose
in ones heart for an old tree and
that it is like losing real friend
when it succumbs to the weakness
of age.
