H2> has found much evidence which tends to 'disprove the existence of a femily “instinct,” varying greatly from thz gregarious bohavior of the simians. Dr. Miller sought out reports of ob- servations which bore on the asscrtion of sociology that the femily group came into the world 2s an instinctive associ- ation only with the emergence of man that it replaced the loose group associ- ation of the olher primates, and that it was the natural methpd of association imitive man.

Built Up Step by Step. The human communal life, accord- ing to this theory, is built up step by siep. It starts with close bonds of union between two persons of different sexes 2nd their children and proceeds outward with ever looser association bonds to the tri mads up of groups of related familles, and the nation, made up of groups cf related tribes. This is cbviously quite different from a herd of wild or horses, where there aie no close, lasting it idual essociations, but merely a great number of individua's living {ogether. Dr. Miller's researches have uncovered much evidence that there is little fun- damental difference between “the sex associations of man and the higher primates, although both seem to b: distinet in this respect from other mam- mal groups holds that the human family is held togeiher not by an in- stinctive urge. of one man to main- ¥s, in an complex religious and social. It is the various taboos, which developed very early in human relatiosships, which have bean passed down from one gencration to another, Dr. Miller's researches show, and not an instinat. Man, however, apparently has di verged from the apes in deve'oping “a socially effective sentiment of love,” Dr. Miller finds, although there are occa. sional instances réported among the anthropolds of an inten:e, lasting affec. ifon between male and fomale. A siri ing case of this is describad in the quarterly journal of the American So- ciety of Mammalogists, in which Dr. Miller’ L. Tinxiepaugh of Yale University.

By Radio to The Star. BERLIN, November 17.—The gigantic conflict in the German iron industry assumes steadily a more menacing form It now has lasted three weeks, but no- | body sees a way to end it, for it has meantime developed into a political | question of first importance. The employers locked out a quarter 1, despite the fact that an arbitral judg- {ment had been rendered and declared binding by the minister of labor. The employers of the Rhenish iron industry openly state that they jusiify their reaction by declaring the arbitra- tors’ decision imposed an economically intolerable burden on them, and that | also is invalid for material and legal reasons. And now the Duisburg Labor Court has actually deciared the judgment in- valid. However, an appeal has been taken to the Supreme Labor Court and several weeks must pass before its ver- dict is reached. Monstrous Losses Incurred.
