All indicatio are, according to Washington autho ities, that man w well developed, differing very sligh at all, from the race of todey. wiien he came to North America. There is a definite school, - however, which insists that prehistoric relatives of man were pos-| sible and even probable here. In the first place, anthropologists here ask how did a subhuman being get here a half million years ago. It has been almost definitely established that the race originated in Europe and the trail extends west, not east. | Ancient graves have been located in Germany, France and Eneland. but none in Scandinavia and none across the steppes of Russia. Siberia, n .- ern India or China. To get to North America this race must have crossed the Atlantic ocean. and they lacked ‘even the frallest sort of canoes with which fo make the trip.

The bones dug up in England as- surredly are not those of a'man, but of an anthropoid creature with cer- tain variations toward the human tructure. The Neanderthal man, on the other hand, while of.a widely different structuré from a man of to- day and very unlikely to have. been of the same species, had attained a degree of progress which places him man himself. He had learned to bury his dead, probably had some vague sort of religious rites, and may not have been dumb. Race of Dwarfs Scholars here said_they would wait for authentic word from Dr. Merriam himself, and point out that previously he has held to the established theory origin. The an- partménts of the Smithsonian Insti- Tutlon, however, are continually re- ceiving queer Apecimens, from the Pacific coast and the Rocky mountain area.
