Darwinism is not a term synony- mous with evolution. No scientist worthy of the name today believes that monkeys are an ancestor of man. Evolution goes much farther back than Charles Darwin. That all living organisms have been derived by gradual evolution from simpler forms was an {dea pro- posed by tho ancient Greeks, In the thousands of years that have followed many have conjectured at the mechanism that might have pro- duced this evolution. But not until the later years of the ‘eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century did any thinkers base their explanations of evolution on actual observations. Among these early thinkers there stand out the names of Buffon, Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles, Lamarck and Goethe, who was a great biolo- gist as well as a great poet. Charles Darwin's name ciated with evolution more strongly than any other because re ized it, and because he was the cen- ter of an evolution controversy sim- flar ix¥ some respects to the Scopes, case, that was stirred up in England half a century ago. Since Darwin's time his iteas have been modified and much has been added to them, His greatness as a scientist remains unqual’ ied. As one sclentist says: “Science always changing as new researches are made. It is no more to be expected that Darwin should have been en- tirely right than that the ancient Greeks should have been entirely right, nor {s it to be expected that modern science is entirely right.” From Main Stem, Branches, Evolution does not teach and never has taught, the scientists say, that man nded from a mor is asi Charles Darwin,, author of “The Origin of the Species.” key, What {t does teach is that man belongs to the order of the primates or highest forms of life which em- erged about the dawn of a remote or the Eocene era, and that man, he various’ types of monkeys, apes and other of the higher animal forms are something like remote cousins. In other words, afl came from a common ancestor. Man n) moze dss- cended from the monkey or the ape than the latter descended from man, says evolution. Recently ceded monkeys on the earth. From the main stem of the pri- mates there were various branches. First, the South American monkeys then the Old World monkeys, then ages later, from the main stem, “the branch now represented by the small anthropoid apes, the gibbon and the mang. Distinctly later there dl- ‘verged the branch of the larger an- thropoid apes—the gorilla, the chim- panzee and the orang.” Greater DIAMOND That, it is explained, left “a gen- eralized humanoid stock separated off fro mall monkeys and apes, and including the immediate precursors of man.” Here, at least, say the sci- entists, we are getting somewhere, fetly away from the detested, de- grading monkey, whom nobody wants, and need have, for an ances- tor. And the time of this definite sep- aration is estimated at anything like 500,000 to 2,000;000 years ago. No danger of identifying ancestors there, by any lengthening out of any- body's family tree, comfort the ex- ponents of evolution. This separa- tion, it is definitely believed, took place in Asia, and man began his owr long ages of development. Evidence for Scoffers, To those who question the proof or evidences of evolution with re- spect to man, scientists give many answers, Professor Conklin of Princeton university declares that “everything which speaks of the evo- Values These are Phone 1195-R RUBBER ‘We Make ’Em in Casper Phone us or call at store with copy.

MINE STRIKE HELD LIKELY (By United Press) vith cold weather only three months off, deadlocked negotiations between miners and operators in both the United States and Great Britain tonight threaten the fuel supplies of both countries with gov- ernment intervention apparently the only possible salvation, President Coolidge and Premier Baldwin are not denying the crit!- cal situation their respective coun- tries, but no action has been taken by either. The anthracite miners numbering 158,000 and all organized threaten to strike September 1 if they do not get more money and better condi- tions, and the operators so far are adamant in their counter demands for reduced wages, The bituminous coal miners may walk out in sym. pathy by information.

Poison in Polish On Shoés Blarvea Miss Irene Kelso EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 11.—It has just been disclosed by Walker hospital, here, that one of its nurses is conyalescing from a rare and pe- cullar disease—or poisoning, rather which has caused he ly to turn a deep blue. Her blood was poisoned by the effect of ~ drug in polish which had been used on her shoes, Miss Irene Kelso, student nurse and daughter of U. G. Kelso of Vincennes, is the victim, Now she {s fast on the road to recovery. Her body regained its normal color—not, however, until Dr. J, Y. Welborn of the hospital, the girl's father, and other physt- clans had worked rapidly at her bedside while the {llness@was at its height several days ago. Misa Kelso was rapidly worse, and the doctors were as tounded by her blue skin, Then in- vestigation proved that she had been wearing shoes which had been pol- ished just a few hours before. A few other cases of the rare polson- ing were recalled, and the case was getting then dingnosed without trouble. “What is the real name for the poisoning?” said Dr. Welborn— “Methemoglobinemia Physiciang explained that the pol- son, nitrobenzine, is a chemical part of the dye. The body absorbs the poison through the leather into the skin, and the corpuscles are #0 bro- ken down, that they m the blood blue and give a deep blue color to the body, To substagtiate their diagnosis, doctors made guinea pig tests, giv. ing the unsuspecting animals exte rior doses of the shoe dye. They turned as blue as a guinea pig can, and an examination of the blood showed ft a deep blue. In a recent edition of the Journal of the American Medical association, Cc, W. Muehiberger, Ph.

A warrant has been issued charging the fuirtive with first de- gree murder. The hunt for Knapp was not con- fined to the rogicn to which he was traced this week, after the body of Louis Panella, of Hempstead, was found buried ave for one foot, be- neath plaster slabs and sheets of metal lath near Camp Mills. In his erratic and venturesome career since recovering from an op- eration which lifted a piece of bone from his brain, the 27 year old de- Serter has engaged in rum running in Alexandria Bay and it was thought he might have joined some of his cronies of bootlegging days, Knapp’s comrades in the observ: ance squadron ’in which he waa a private at Mineola, and whence he deserted wera closely questioaed to- day, with a view *o obtain: lurcther clues to his posv:s!s wheradouts, It developed that the young mao had discussed with his “buddies* his tn- tention to go “over the hill” and had urged Private “Scotty” Morr! son to join him, The fugitive was known to his army associates as a brilliant schol- ar erratic {n his conversation and conduct, always talking of “thrilis’ he had experienced which left him dissatisfied. They had sized him up asa rather likeable, harmless brag- gart Today, some of these same buddies wore on duty in the state wide hunt which must end, the authorities sa tn Knapp’s capture, dead or allve, within a day or so. To several the deserter wrote letters after his flight and through these he was traced to Albany. Army airplanes manned by mem- bers of Knapp's squadron, were tuned up today to take part tn the man hunt. It the fugitive ts caught, the state will make the following charge against him: Knapp was seen talking to Pan: ella, the slain chauffeur on the after- noon of July 1. A few hours later, Panella was summoned by telephone to Mineola and never was seen again alive, His body was found near Camp Mills last Saturday, He had| been shot through head with a} service revolver, Such a revolver disappeared from the observation squadron's barracks simultaneously with Knapp’s desertion Panella’s pogkets had been emp- tied and his cab had been driven to w York and sold to an automobile sales agency for $1,000, by a man answering Knapp's description, The company paid $100 down, and the seller never returned for the balance. Knapp, when he deserted, left a letter explaining his boredom with life and saying he had contemplated suicide, but felt a greater thrill might be found otherwise. It is belleved he murdered Panella for the sheer thrill of watching his victim dle, It is in this connection that the parallel of the Loeb-Leopold case is considered by the authorities, The young man never reached the point of appearing before a board of army examiners which examines | candidates for cadetship. “Had he done so this tragedy might have been averted’ comment ed Major William N.

This marks a new era in the automobile industry. Studebaker’s achievement eliminates unnecessary profits running up to $500 ona single car. It banishes double overhead. It results in quantity production of quality cars. It vitally affects pricing by establishing a new criterion of value in the fine car field.

Contrast this with Studebaker, where the entire car is designed and built as a unit—and engineered complete. This construction means (1) longer life ~(2) greater comfort in riding—(3) greater freedoin from repair expense—(4) greater resale value. With the advent of this one-profit-one-overhead plan of motor car manufacture, it is folly today to buy a car by the same comparisons you used yesterday. Todey you must measure all cars with this “one-profit” Stude *. The Ford is « one-profit car and reigns supreme in its field.
