BELIEVESINHISSIN 10 UPLIFT MUSIG Carl Engel Tells Audience i Practice Improves Pro- grams Abroad. “The Tuture of Music in Washing- ten” was the subject of a talk by Carl Engel, eminent composer and critic, who is now head of the music division of the Library of Congress before the, members of the Friday Morning Music Club yesterday. “America fs undoubetdly the great- est music-loving nation in the world,” said Mr. Engel, “but, it is not the most musical. There is a great dif- ference between being music-loving and being musical. Abroad people do not go just to hear virtuosi, as is the tendency in this country. They g0 to hear the compositions, and i they do not like the way ther are pre- sented they hiss them. It is perhaps to be lamented that Washington au- diences are so polite—they have not learned to hiss. Those in Washing- ton, such as your organization, who know what are the fine things in music, can do so much to make the visiting artists give Washington their best in programs, and not the lol- lpops that are so easy to perform. There was a time when an aspiring wusician had to go to Boston and tave a hearing first by Philip Hale, the famous critic there. If a city 1s willing to let one man decide what it Iikes in music, all right. Some- hody should decide. New York has its great critics, Boston and Philadelphia have theirs. In Washington there is a younger generation that is showing much promise and in a few years will be fully competent. However, such or- ganlizations as your club can do much with constructive criticism to get the finest music in Washington. Look over the prospective programs and have a word in what is brought here Don't say, ‘How do you dare to bring Washington that cheap, easy music? Instead, say, choosing the finest thing on the program, ‘We are €0 glad to have something as fine as this once in a while’ It is a method that can be used to advantage in smaller concerts and in the church music, too. I'm sure nobody would thank you more than the ministers for co-operation in getting more variety on church pro- grams. “In looking over programs publish- 0d in the paper last Sunday for this week, I found Massenet's “Elegy” four times. dt is indeed an inter- esting work, but I cannot see what it has to do with Thanksgiving.

How a creature whose.body was covered with hair, who walked on four feet, built nests In trees, ate pro- digious quantities of half-ripe fruits and berries and had a brain in about the same stage of development as an anthropoid ape of today evolved into the almost hairless, erect anfmal known as man, whose brain repre- sents the highest woricmanship of na- ture, was explained yesterday after- noon by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, anthro- pologist of the Smithsonfan Institu- tion, in a lecture at the Department of the Interior auditorfum. The most involved of these proc- esses, Dr. Hrdlicka said, was the de- velopment of the human brain, which came naturally, however, under the circumstances. The jungle ape was forced to live in tree tops for protec- | tion, and practically his omy food consisted of fruits and berries. In order to sustain life on these he was forced to eat great quantities, us is the case with apes today. This ne- cessitated very large digestive organs and broad, powerful jaws, fitted for almost continuous mastication. While the necessity for these jaws remained the creature's brain was shackled. They forced a hone forma- tion of the head which did not give the brain a chance to expand. One prominent distinguishing feature of ape skulls today is a bony ridge about the head, which acts like a circle of fron around the brain itself. Habit Change Forced. But in all jungle areas, Dr. Hrdlicka said, there are great grassy inter- vals, practically free of trees, where animal life s most abundant. | Through natural increase within the | forest the precursor of man was | pushed to the edge of some such open space. This necessitated changes in his habits to survive. First he learned to stand erect. The tall grasses and bushes made this neces- sary in order that he could see what was going on about him, spot possible enemies and locate food. | With the other forms of life plen- tiful, some of them weaker than him- self, the ape became u meat eater. With more nourlshing food, he did not have to eat so much, and consequent- Iy he did not have to spend so much time chewing. The result was that the need for heavy. powerful jaws disappeared. A primary lesson of evolution is that nature never keeps anything long which is of no value With the change in the jaw the teeth changed and fundamental alterations went on in the bones of the skull. The ridge around the brain disappeared, and this organ had a chance to & velop until it has reached the pro portions of present man. Teeth Only Weapons. When the ape first emerged from the jungle his only weapons were his teeth. But when he began to stand erect, using the two front legs as hands, the use of the fist in fighting and securing food began, and it was only a step to the use of a club or stone held In the fist. Once this de- velopment was reached the creature was able to kill animals larger than itself. This brought about the use of skin clothing, which the ape-like creature probably found warmer than his own thick hair. Once clothed, the need for hair on his Dbody passed. Consequently, in the course of a great many generations. this disappeared and man became the hairless creature he now is so far as the body is con- C"Bf‘:? his emergence from the shade | of the jungle left him with an un- protected head under the hot sun and the rain. His hair, as is the| case with present apes, was very thin on his head and face. While he had depended for life on swift climbing and running about in the tree tops long hair and a beard, with their fendency to catch on branches. would have been fatal. Now it became a necessity. Consequently those of the species with the longest, thickest bair survived and continucd the race under the new conditions. From head hair enly a few inches long at the most the creature evolved hair capable of reaching several feet and a long beard. Group Life Begins. Deprived of the shelter of his nest in treetops, he was obliged to find shelter in caves. In the jungle, with individual nests, he had been a soli- tary creature, But now groups would be forced into a single cave. The foundations of society were laid. With his braln developing In its new freedom the conception of some very primitive form of speech, probably at first only a few differentiated squeals and grunts, was a natural step. Thus the forest ape, who is represented in most aspects by the chimpanzees and gorillas of toda evolved into .a higher creature who finally produced man. That the ancestors of man walked on all fours and had hairy bodies is| proved, Dr. Hrdlicka sald, through | occasional throwbacks to this form Thus children are sometimes found who, after their creeping days are over, undergo a period of using both hands as extra feet and walking almost exactly as an ape. He tola of one remarkable case of this which came under his own observation in Mexico. These children always re- turn eventually to walking in the natural human way, on two feet and erect. Even such late developments as the Heidelberg and Nianderthal men, representing great advances from the apes toward true man, prob- ably werc unable to hold their heads erect, Dr. Hrdlicka said. The place of man’s origin is open to considerable doubt, he said, but has been ascertained to be ome of three continents, Asia, Europe or Africa. The theory that the first originated in central Asia, long held by anthropologists, can no longer be held, he cxplained, not only because there are no very early skeletal re- malns there, but because the country was not propltious for evolutionary development toward a higher type. That man may have developed in southeastern Asla is sustained by these facts: The region has three living anthropoid apes representing a high stage of development; a num- ber of fossil apes have been exca- vated which are well advanced to- ward man; the oldest known skeletal remains of a creature whe was cer- tainly a human precursor, differing very widely from the highest apes, have been found in Java, which once was a part of the mainland. The ob- Jection to this claim is that in Epg- land skeletal remains of a human precursor have been found of almost the same date as the Java man, as well as numerous other skeletons of human precursors and it seems al- most impossible that primitive human | types originating in southeast Asia! could have made the voyage over| thousands of miles of Europe, con- sidering that they had no method of transportation. Afrien’s Claim Questioned. In Africa, north of the equator, live man's nearest living relatives the gorillas and chimpanzees. Far-| ther north still are fossil apes,| which represent an ewen closer ap- | proach to man. Africa’s claim to be- | ing the birthplace of the human race is questioned largely because there ‘e no further evidence. The country has not been explored for remains. Europe, if not the birthplace of the race, was certainly its cradle. The Piltdown jaw, found in England, is that of a human ancestor living at about the same time as the Java man. Along the west bank of the Rhine | the charges against Into Man are fossil apes approaching closely to human characteristics. The ear- liest known actual men have been found in Europe, but nothing earlier than the Heldelberg man, who already was far advanced from the ape type. The skeletal remains of Europe have barely been touched, however. The most serious objection to considering Europe the birthplace of the race, Dr. Hrdlicka sald, lies in the climate. During the time that man must have been developing out of an ape type | the climate of Europe was about that of Canada or Siberia, while the ape was a jungle creature who probably would have found great difficulty in living, to eay nothing of evolving, under such conditions. There may have been more than one attempt on the part of nature {to produce man, Dr. Hrdlicka said, only one of which succeeded. The Java man may have perished in the attempt, while the Piltdown race may have succeeded in surviving. The actual line of demarkation from the human precursor, a crea- ture far removed from the ape and vet far below modern man, probably lies in the coming of self-conscious. pess, with its accompanying individ- ual ambition which makes man, Dr. Hrdlicka said. PONZI ARRESTED UNDERALIENLAW Deportation of Promoter of Get-Rich-Quick Schemes Sought. By the Associated Pre BOSTON, November 23.—Charles Ponzi, promoter of the get-rich-quick | scheme of four vears ago, which at- tracted investments of many millions, was arrested early today by immigra- tion authorities on a warrant charg- ing that he is in this country illegally. Deportation proceedings will begin immediately, it-was said by Immigra- tion Commissioner John P. Johnson. Whether deportation will be Canada or Ttaly, in the event that Ponzi are sus. tained, can Secretary of Labor. Ponzi came to this country from Canada, after being convicted of banking irregularities at Montreal, but if, Canada objects to having him deported to the Dominion. officials of this country may order him sent to Ttaly. of which he is still considered a citizen. Charges Immigration Violations. The warrant against Ponzi, ob- tained after several days of fnvesti- gation into his activities in the past | 20 years, charges only that he is in this country in violation of the law, and Commissioner Johnson said that until Ponzi was given a hearing de- talled charges could not properly be made public. It is known, however, that the evidence includes a record of Ponzi's conviction for smuggling aliens into this country from Can- ada, for which he was sentenced to Sserve two years at Atlanta; the rec- ord of his three-vear eentence for forgery at Montreal as Charles Bianchi, and the evidence adduced in the Federal courts, where he was con- victe® of using the mails to defraud in_his scheme of 1920. The federal jury found him guilty and sentenced him to five years for fraud, of which he served three and one-half years, but a jury in the State courts two weeks ago disagreed on charges of larceny on which he was tried shortlv after his release as a Federal prisoner. Charge Fallure to State Record. Tt is contended by the immigration authorities that when Ponzi re-enter- ed this country several years ago he failed to make known the record of his convictions in Canada and In this country, which would have been suffi- clent for refusing him entry at that time. Ponzi was arrested early this morn- ing in the Brighton apartment, which he has recent occupled, the expen- sive mansion that he bought in the heyday of his international postal coupon scheme having been sold for his creditors. He made no resistance. It is understood that Ponzi_filed his intention of becoming a United States citizen in March, 1918. The document is =ald to include no men- tion of his stay in Canada or of his convictions there or in this country. COUPLE FOUND SLAIN. Young Man Believed to Have Shot Girl and Self in Auto.
