YELLOW MEN HELD NEAREST TOTYPE Blacks and Whites Both Vari- | ations From Brownish Stock, Says Hrdlicka. Both the white &nd bla~k races are variatfons from an orizinal yel low-brown people in western lurope from whom a'l men now on earth are do cended, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, an- thropologist of th- Emithsonlan In- stitution, sald in a lecture at the New National Muscum yesterday aft- ernoon. On the other hand, the vel- low Asiatic peoples, including -most of the South Sea Islanders and the American Indfans, probably have changed little from the original an- cestors In physical appearance, he said. The rpread of the races began, Dr. Hrdlicka said, after the last glacial invasion and some sections of the globe now most thickly pop- ulated have known human life only for a few thousand vears. It was probably less than 10,000 years ago when the first men spread into Scot- land, Ireland, Scandinavia and cen- tral England, driven Into apparently inhospituble country by the increas- ing scarcity of food. First to Brenk Away: The first break away from the parent stock in southwestern Europe, he said, probably were the yellow- brown trihesm m who migrated south into Africa and became the ancestors of the negro raco. These people prob- | aily spread south gradually. small groups at a t'me. They may have Dbeen driven out by stronger elements in the original society or they may have left of their own volition in scarch of better hunting grounds. Once under the tropic suns and eating the food which the troples furnished, their yellowish-brown skins gradually turned black. By the time this migration took place, Dr. Hrdlicka sald, the race had advanced to a point In intelligence where men Were able to plan ahead. Migrants Go Eant. The next migration, also one aof small groups, left Europe by two roads. One branch spread over the Balkans and Asia Minor toward India and the valley of the Nile. The other branch crossed Bohemia and Russia, crossing the low Ural Mountalns into Stberla and China. These migrants met with no stimull in their wan- derings or in their new homes which tended to change their color. If any- thing, they tended to exaggerate i« original type. Original man, for in- stance, had brown eyes and brown to black hair which ranged from wavy to straight. In the negro this hair became curly, but in the Asiatic it | became even straighter than before. The populating of As'a went on rap- 1dly until food becamo so scarce that new niugrations of scattered familles Were necessary. The first of these were south and southwest. In their rudo canoes the early men pushed off the coast of Asia to some of the nearby islends and then step by step to Australla and the South Sea Is- iand groups, where they became the ancostors of the present polynesian peoples. Contaet With Whites, Others crossed the mountain passes Into India, where they came in con- tact with a people who had migrated from Europe at a later date and who already were In a fair way to be- coming white. These two groups filtrated through each other. The re- sult {s that in the predominantly white country of India there Is a noticeable yellow intermixture today, while in some sections of southern China, predominantly yellow, there are peoples with all the character- istics of white men. The actual col- or of the Hindoo's skin, Dr. Hrdlicka said, does not make him any the less a member of the white race since he preserves all other qualifications. Hindoo children, born and reared in Europe or the United States, often ap- pear no darker than southern Euro- peans. Group Driven North. Still later, Dr. Hrdlicka sald, another group of these yellow people were driven north along the Asian | 1 | | ” “,// 24 ) HomiraL b2 CoLiany LEADER TION UNDER JEAN RIBAULY (CAROLINA WHERE THEY BUILT!

Contracts have been let for the in- stallation of radio in 30 of the 49 hospitals operated by the Veterans' Bureau. it was announced today by Director Ftank T. Hines. Of the other 19 hospitals, it was sald, equipment has been donated for 4, and 15 are already either par- tially or completely equipped. Addi- tional apparatus is being constantly added. “In all new hospitals under con- struction or now being designed,” sald statement today from the bureau. “condults and wiring are being in- cluded as part of the regular elec- trical system so “that radio sets can be Installed as soon as each hospital is opened. The installations consist of & master recelving set with two or more circults of wiring extending to the varlous bulldings. In tuber- culosis and general hospitals a head set is being provided at ¢ach bed and loud gpeakers in the assembly rooms. In neuro-psychiatric hospitals only loud speakers are being Installed In wards and assembly rooms. “As long ago as August, 1923, the subject of radlo installation In the hospitals was discussed. A set was installed at Mount Alto by the General Electric Co., and experiments were conducted, with the ald of experts from the Army and Navy and Bureau of Standards, with the purpose of de- veloping the best possible equipment for the bureau's use. Definite specifi- cation wers finally {ssued. “In March, 1924, the Roxie commit- tec inaugurated a drive for funds to furnish radios for varlous hospitals. Director Hines very gladly co-oper- ated with the committee in this en- deavor and a complete installation was made at Mount Alto by the bu- reau, while the committee equipped Waiter Reed and the Naval Hospital. The outfit at Mount Alto includes 381 d sets, three loud speakers and a \naster radlo recefving set. “In Junme, 1924, the Electric Testing Laboratories of New York offered to furnish & complete equipment for Veterans’ Bureau Hospital at Little Rock, Ark., and this offer was gladly accepted, while about the same time the Chicago Dally News made a simi- lar offer for the Edward P. Hines, Jr., Hospital and they are having the Roxle committee furnish the equip- ment. “The Veterans' Hospital at the Bronx, N. Y., if indebted to a pa- triotic’ local citizen for the donation of complets equipment there and in- coast by the search for food. The country was not hospitable, but they were Induced to continue the migra- tion, perhaps no more than a family at a time, by the constant ability to get food from the sea. Moving north as fishermen and keeping close to the coast, they developed some knowledge of_primitive navigation. Finally, they arrived at the north- east tip of Siberia from where, on a clear day, it is possible to see the American’ coast. They may have crossed in canoes or they may have walked across on the ice during a hard Winter. It is not probable, Dr. Hrdlicka sald, that any great num- ber came. The northward migration was not likely to have attracted many of the Asiatics. Once on the North American continent, however, they found a virgin territory where food prospects were much better than &hose they left behind and they never risked the trip back. Date May Be Recent. Just how long ago the first men came to America, Dr, Hrdlicks said, was doubtful but he indicated that it may have been at a_comparatively recent date. When the first white men came the Indlan population of the two continents was about 30,000,- 000. The descendants of a single couple might amount to 30,000,000 in_about 2,000 years, he said, pro- vided great numbers were not killed off by wars or famines in the mean- time. Dr. Hrdlicka indicated the belief that the présent human race can trace its ancestry back to the Nean- daerthal m: There are bad breaks in the evidence for direct descent, he said, but he believes that cultural or even skeletal remains will be discovered which will supply the missing links. The fact that the first men orig- inated In central Europe, he said, seems almost definitely proved. The theory that the “Garden of Eden” was somewhere in central Asia, he said, was no longer possible, since condi- tions there during the period when man’ wis Geveloping’ were Buch that he could not haye survived. Spread of Negroes, One of the most fascinating prob- lems of anthropology, he said, is to trace the spfead of the negro race from Afriea. On,the Malay Penin- sula, in:Burms, the Philippines, the Celebes, New Guinea and even Aus- tralia are found negrito peoples who are certaln members of the negro race,-differing from the black men of Central Africa only in stature. These people are weak physically and have proved easy victims for ail races with whom they Wave come in con- tact. They probably - were driven north out of Africa by combat with the stronger tribes of black men. That.they left by sea, Dr. Hrdlicka said, is impossible to belleve, since they had no ‘craft apable of taking them out of ‘sight of Jand and no of navigation. The only ibility is, he said, that they crossed Arabid’ overland and then crossed the Persian Gulf and ad- vanced along the coast line of Inda.

December 13.—Subway trains throughout Greater New York haited for one minute at 4 o'clock yes- terday afternoon while funeral services for August Belmont, “father of the city subways,” were being held in the Cathe- dral of St. John the Divine. Those present at the services made nearly a complete roster of the social and financlal circies of New York. Many leaders of the turf world also appeared to pay their last respects to the “god- fathér of American horse racing and breeding.” In the congregation also were many theatrical people who had been associated on the New York stage with the former Eleanor Robson, Mrs. August Belmont. i After the services the casket was car- ried to the Gqghlc Chapel of the Saviar, one of the Seven Chapels of Tongues, which Mr. Belmont, a trustee of the cathedral, donated ‘in 1903 in memory of the first Mrs, Belmont. The body was to remain there until midnight, then to be taken to a train for Newport, R. I, where interment will take place tomor- row. Bishop William T.

At the request of the Governor of Tennessee, President Coolidge has de- clared the Meriwether Lewis monu- ment in that State a “National Mon- ument.” and that memorial will here- after be cared for and maintained by the War Department. The monument was erected by the State of Tenn see several years ago, In recognition of the memorable expedition of Meri- wether Lewis and Willlam Clark of St. Louis, Mo., to the mouth of the Columbfa’ River in Oregon, in 1804- 1805, which resulted in the develop- ment of the great Northwest Terri- tory. Tt stands in a reservation of about 50 acres in Lewis County, Tenn., about 75 miles from Nashville, and marks the spot where the great ex- plorer died. Arrangements have been made for the cession of the reservation, to the United States Government and its establishment as a national memorial under the terms of the act of Con- gress of June 8, 1806, authorizing such action in the acquirement “of historic landmarks, historic and pre- historic structures and other objects of historic or sclentific interest.”” The transfer will be made without ex- pense to the Federal Government be- yond the minimum consideration re- quired by law for the change.of title to_property.

My, my, her tongue certainly did go! And Reddy didn’t have a word to say. He | was very, very humble. Finally Mrs. Reddy said: “Let's eat.” Reddy looked up in surprise. Mrs. Reddy went behind a bush and brought out a fat, speckled hen and laid {t down in front of Reddy. You should have seen the expression on Reddy’s face. He didn't know what to say. Mrs. Reddy grinned. Then she told him how she had gotten even by catching that hen. “But it is the last one we'll take from that henhouse,” said she. “Remember that—it Is the last one.” Then they settled down to enjoy threir dinner, and while they ate they planned a new home. prright, 1924, by T.

STEVENSON. THE RAISING OF LAZARUS. —John, 11.1-44. Golden Text: and Iam the resur- the life—John, Death had filled the Bethany home, whére Jesus loved to be, with dark- ness and despair. Laszarus, whom some think was the rich young ruler who came to Jesus and went away sorrowful when called upon to seil his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor, had slipped away from the inner circle of the friends of Jesus. Christ's love for him and his sisters was real. They had opened their home for the Lord in the hour of His need. The Master found in the closing hours of His ministry the home atmosphere of love and sympa- thy that He needed when fighting His battles with His foes. A special messenger had been sent to Jesus beyond the Jordan, where, Luke tells us, He was achieving suc- cess in His Perean ministry of hegl- ing and preachin ying, “Master, your friend is JIL”" Mary and Martha did not request Him to return, be- cause they were aware of the danger that He would face, but, they evi- dently expected that He would an- swer their unexpressed agonizing ap- | peal. They knew that Christ's heart would be touched by the knowledge of Lazarus’ serious condition, which threatened to turn, as it did, their Bethany home into a house of sor- row. He delayed His return for two days, although they did not know ft. They probably were surprised that | He had not reached them sooner, but their faith in Him was not dimmed because He had not arrived in time to prevent their entering the valley of the shadow of death. . Jesus did not alfow the fear of dan- ger to hinder Him from ansvyering the call of duty and affection. He knew that the family, whom He loved, had been called upon to suffer and endure the sorrows of death o that the faith of others could be de- veloped and God glorified. Trials are not a sign that Our Father in heaven does not love us. They may be an evidence that He does care. Back of every trying expérience God has a urpase that we do not always un- derstind. Whenever weé are called upon to bear heavy burdenswe should wait upon the Lord, who will draw near to.us and helg us as He aids us work out in our héur of trou- ble that which will be for our good, guman welfare and God's glory. Our avior never forgets our needs. He never fails to respond at the crucial hour to give us heip and assistance, Just as He did when He determined to draw near to His sorrowing friends in Bethany. He refused to allow His Disciples to change His decision by their insistence upon the peril He faced. Danger could not keep Him from doing His duty. His determina- tion moved Thomas to suggest that they return to dle with Him. Jesus Reveals His Sympathy. Jesus had turned His face toward Bethany with & confidence in His power to raise Lazarus. from the grave. His delay would serve to make the crowning miracle ef His ministry beyond question. Upon two former occasions He had demon- strated His mastery over death. The young daughter of Jairus, who evi- dently had just died, was revived by the words of the Lord spoken in the upper room. The Master's touch had restored the widow's son, who was being carried to the grave. Lazarus was burled four days when Christ ar- rived at Bethany. Jesus did not desire to share with the friends the days of lamentations, that lasted for seven days, following the three days of weeping. Both ters revealed their conviction that if He had been present Lazarus would not have died. - There is no record of death ever occuring in His presencey until He willing endured it upon the cross to save the world. There was not any evidence of complaint - be- cause He had not arrived in time to prevent their sorrow. In -Martha's conversation We can see how Jesus comforted her. by His revelation of Himself as the Resurrection and the Life. There was no comfort in the hope of a future.lite, but there wa great comfort in the Master's indenti- fication. of Himaelf with the hope of eternal life. Martha's confession of her faith in Jesus deserves to rank with the one made by Peter when He confessed Him as the Ghrist. Our only hope concerning the reality of the future life is in‘the Lord Jesus as the Resurrection and the Life. It was not until the Master saw the spiritually-minded Mary weeping and unable. to express in her great grief her feelings that Jesus revealed the depths of His heartfelt sympathy. His profound indignation, caused. by the Master's antagonism to death, as the work of Satan and the fruit of sin, At 7 pm. the Christian compelled the Lord to make a herolc effort at self-control.. His body shook. “Jesus wept.” ~The Master tegrs have brought comfort to many sells, when. they, like the sisters of Beth- any. have been called upon to-stand with their friends around a new-made grave, because His tears have taught the world that He sympathizes with us-in all of our trials. His tears at the tomb of Lazarus help us to trust Christ: as the Resurrection. and the Life. 3 Demenstrates Power Over Death. David Smith suggests that Jesus wept ‘because He was going to call Lazarus back from glory. He claims that the Lord's tears say to us: “Oh, if you only knew the glory which lies beyond the .veil and. which I know: so. well, since I dwelt there from everlasting; If you only knew the radiant world of rest and peace and joy, you Wwould never wish your dead back In this dark world. gf toil and tumult and sorrow; you Would rejoice that they are at home in with God.” s Sxer Martha protested against removing the stone from the - tomb, which Jesus sought as a confession of her taith. Decomposition had commenced. She did not 'wish - to . view her. brother's broken-down body. Cyni- cal Jews, watching the proceedings, sym; a8 With=Marthe.

Possibly it may have been for this reason that Jesus called for human assist- ance when performing the greatest miracle of His life by raising Laza- rus from the dead. Following His practice of com- muning with the Heavenly Father before undertaking any new work of importance, Jesus offered a public} prayer that no impostor would have dared to make, thanking Jehovah for the power given Him over death that He was about to utilize. His prayer was bffered in a public manner and He called for Lasarus to “come forth in a loud voice” be- cause He desired to influence the the crowd to believe in Him as the Lord of Life. Augustine suggests that He called Lazarus by name, as He did not desire that “all the hosts of the dead should hear His voice and ecome forth together.” The obe- dience of the dead to the voice of the Master was a public proof that death does not end all. The request that they should loose Lazarus from his grave clothes enabled them to public- |1y test the reality of the miracle. He calls upon us to help Him re- move the shackles of death that sin has placed upon men of our time, as much as He did the co-operation of others in removing the grave clothes! from Lazarus. This crowning miracle of Christ demonstrated that physical death is not an evil. It is only an incident in the endless life of all who have faith in Jesus as the resurrection and the life. Lazarus was raised to live a life that was practically identical with what he had lived be- fore his death. His raising was prophetic of the coming resurrection, when Jesus, who proved that He was the Master over death then, as later at His own resurrection, will compel the grave to give up its dead, even as He compelled the tomb to give up the body of Lazarus. This miracle created a crisis that called for fm- mediate action on the part of re- ligieus and political leaders, who combined in an effort to put Christ to death, that enabled Jesus to dem- onstrate beyond question by His vic- tory over the grave that He was indeed the Resurrection and the Life. The one who lives in Christ has no need to fear death. They possess now the resurrection and the life, that can not be destroyed by death Jesus has glven to us an abundant and everlasting life, because He is the resurrection and life, freeing all from the power of death through faith in Him.
