sidering the nomination of Gordon

making little progress in his oppo-
sition to Mr.. Clapp, started tossing
the epithet about SO widely that
he eventually included former Sen

suspects.
Attacks Reach Climax.
This from Mr.. McKellar, who owes
his seat in the Senate to the to-
talitarian political regime of Boss
.Crump. was odd enough, but some
thing still stranger occurred the
same day. The Committee for Eco
flomic Development found it neces-
sary to put out a new statement
of its principles and purposes to
offset series of attacks. These
attacks had reached climax IN the
assertion of a Wall Street financial
publication that the CED was COM
nunistic and wanted to nationalize
the. banking system"
The CED had ignored previous
Misrepresentation, such as those
ernanating from Marvin K. Harris
National Economic Council, the out
fit that finance the weird and Won
derful broadcasts of Upton Close
on one of the national networks.
But now CED felt it was being
stabbed in the house of its friends
and it made reply.
To know what the CED is you
need only to know who it is. 1t was
organized and is still headed by
Paul G.. Hoffman, president Of the
Studebaker Corp. Chairman Of its
Information Committee is Walter
D. Fuller, publisher of the Saturday
Evening Post and the Ladies' Home
journal. Chairman of its Research
and Policy Committee is Raymond
Rubicam Of the Young & Rubicam
advertising agency, who succeeded
Ralph E. Flanders, the new Senator
from Vermont.
Other "BIue Bloods."
Other blue bloods of American
business. who have been active in
the work Of the CED are such
"Reds" as Eric Johnston, former
president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce and now
,czar of the motion picture industry;
Fowler Mccormick, president of the
International Harvester Co.; Boards
ley Ruml, treasurer of r. H. Macy
g. Co. Energetic promoter of the
organization, when it was being
formed in the war days to meet
postwar business conditions, was the
ubiquitous Bill Benton, now Assist
ant Secretary of State. Mr.. Benton's
present preoccupation Is the BEAM
ing of short-wave broadcasts to Rus
sia, not exactly extolling the vir-
tues of democracy but calculated to
give Russian listeners the impress
sion that our system of government
is eminently satisfactory to us.

herds of these wild horses are
said to have lived in the Polish
forests, and closely related
horses still roam the upland
plains Of Asia. Przevalski's
horse, named from its discoverer,
Nicholas Przevalski, is this type.
Sometimes we can see one in the
ZOO.
In North Africa, another type
developed. It had long, fine legs;
a long, graceful, arched neck;
and a long, pointed head. This
was the stock from which the
Arab and Barbary steeds, famous
for their beauty and speed, are
descended.
After ma ndomesticated horses,
through careful breeding and
selection, many different types
were developed. The heavy cart
or draft horses were derived
from the European wild horses.
Most of the carriage horses and
saddle horses are partly of
African and partly of European
descent.

The H0rse Family

Inc kA0xXS 01nlly
In this family we have mans
faithful friend, the horse, and
also the donkey, the wild asses
and the zebras. These are all
near relatives.
The history Of tina horse and
it's relatives has been traced
back far into the past. Their
bones are found in great album
dance in fossil beds. Consequent
" few animals of the past are
so well known.
More than a hundred years
ago, some teeth and part OF a
skull Of an ancient horse were
found in England. After the first
discovery of the English ancient
horse, bones and teeth Of very
similar horses were found in
New Mexico and aWyoming. FL
nally, a complete skeleton was
discovered of this dawn horse"
or Eohippus, as it was called.
Eohippus lived in the forests that
covered much of North America
long ago.
At various times North Amer
lea, original home of the horses,
was connected with Asia by land,
where Boring Strait is now. 1t
is supposed that horses wander
er over to Asia by way Of Alas
ka, later spreading to. Europe.
Later still, horses spread almost
everywhere.

Age, something happened to
make the wild horses Of North
America disappear. What it was
no one knows, but they all dis
appeared. The sea had washed
over the bridge Of land connect
ing Alaska with Siberia, and no
horses could come back to the
land of their ancestors. Until
the Spanish explorers came to
Mexico in the 10Th century, none
of the Indians had ever seen q
horse.
Not long after the conquest
Of Mexico, a number of horses
escaped from their owners, and
herds developed, spreading north
in the course of years. They
found good country and soor
numbered many thousands. The
same thing happened wher
horses were taken to South
America.
Let us 60 back to the period
before the Ice Age. After reach
ing the Old World, horses spread
and multiplied. Those in diff
ferent parts grew to be quite
unlike each other in appearance.
There were at least two species
One of these was heavily built,
with big heads, thick necks and
stiff, outstanding names. These
coarse, ugly horses lived on the
plains of central Asia and on
plains and forests of Europe. Up
until a few hundred wears ago
