Sometimes the patient lived frequently he went to the happy hunt- | ing grounds. These uncomfortable treatments of | serious casualties from tribal skirmishes still continue in remorte areas of Bolivia Evidence of this has been gathered by fleld workers from the American Museum of Natural History, Of nearly 1,200 skulls collected in South America by the late Dr. { Adolph Bandeller for exhibition in the Museum, about 6 per cent has been operated upon. To surgeons the prac- | tiee is known as trephining. It con- sists of removing a disk or button of bone from the skull with a saw called a trephine. Complex fracture of the skull with depression of the bony plates must have been common occurrences during the clent tribal wars when clubs headed with stone and copper along with slings, the “Bols” and the Iliui” were offensive weapons, said the re- ports of the Museum's investigators. A natural procedure, they opined, Wwith victima who eurvived skull frac- tures must have been attempts to remove the splinters of bone that pricked the brain, or to cut out frag- ments pressing upon it. Warllke clans fight intermittently even today in the wilds of Bolivia and skull fractures are common, Other heads are perforated. Now and then in the bacchanales and festivals whooped up occasionally Wwith great gquantities of intoxicants, the investigators reported. When the lnughter and the free-for-alls quiet down, the medicine men get out their sharp pocket knives and made inci- slons into the injured ekulls of the sufferers, frequently covering the aperture with gourd. During the oper- ation they scrape around the wound with a chisel, Modern anaesthetics are unknown to the medicine men. They put thelr patient into insensibility by constant use of the ‘“coca” plant. This also is employed for healing purposes, and is commonly applied to wounds, bruises and contusions PHILADELPHIA WILL HONOR NEW CARDINAL Mn Ceremony of Welcome Planned for Cardinal Dougherty This Evening. Philadelphia, April 14 ~Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, Philadelphia’'s first churchman to be elevated to his rank, will be given a welcome when he arrives here tonight after his jour- ney abroad to receive the red hat from Pope Benedict that will be un- paralleled in the ecclesiastic history o! Pennsylvania. 2 In addition to those who went to York yesterday to greet the new Car- dinal when he arrived there on the steamship Olympic, a large delegation left on a special train today to escort him and his party to this city. The Cardinal will leave his train at the North Philadelphia station and a procession of automobiles will escort him for approximately 70 blocks, first to City Hall and then to his residence. Both sides of thie streets along which he will pass will be lined with men and boys from more than 175 parish- os. Virtually every church in the archiepiscopal jurisdiction will be represented in this lane through which the Cardinal, his retinue and the clerical and lay escort will pass. ‘The Cardinal and Mayor Moore will bccupy the last of 75 automobiles in the procession. Red fire will be burnea along the route, A special train will be run from the Cardinal’s boyhood home at Ash- land, Pa., and delegations from many other Pennsylvania cities will be pres- ent. Five bishops of the archdiocese will attend the pontifical mass in the enthedral next Tuesday in honor of the Cardinal’s elevation. This cele- braslon will not be of the general church hierarchy but will be confined to the metropolitan see. Bishop Cane- vin and a delegation of 50 priests and laymen from Pittsburgh, will arrive here Friday night to participate in a mass meeting at the Academy of Mu- sic.

Dr. Hill-Tout says he discovered his proofs while working upon a clew he found in a survey of the skulls of apes and anthropoids. He contends that his report will show that nature, when man was in the making, turnea out more than one specimen, as sci- ence always claimed, in the case of the anthropoids. Hitherto evidénce has been lacking that man has not descended from onae line. Dr. Hill-Tout believes the discov- ery eliminates completely two links in the chain of the pedigree of man, who, developing along opposite lines, | has perpetuated his ancestral char- acters and attained a brain expansion which has given him the sovereignty over all other forms of life. “This theoretical conception ot hemo-simius precursion, the ancestor common to man and the apes, Is shown to be founded in fact by thae discovery of the most interesting of all our fossil human remains, Eoan- thropus, or the ‘Dawn Man,' " says Dr. Hill-Tout. “This ancient man roamed over the southern downs of England when the ' British Islés were a part of the main- | land of Europe at the close of tha | It probably ante- ! years | Unlike the | high- | Pliocene period. dates by some thpusands Pithecanthropus Evectus. latter Eoanthropusis relatively er developed in ita cranial characters. “Jts crania! capacity ia greater than that of many of the men of the back- ward races of today. Most of its cranial characters are remarkably modern in type, having much the same contours as that of the young anthropoids. That it is a primitive type we learn, for while it possesses a well developed head, it also has the chinless jaw and the canine teeth of the anthropoids. “Indeed it differs from the young of anthropoids only in its larger cranial | capacity. It is clear from the evi- dence, both of the human-like char- acters of the ‘dawn man’ and the young anthropoids that the low- browed Pithecoid was not a primitive man. In other words he followed anthropoid development rather than the human and so lost his chance with tha human race. “The discovery of men with modern cranial characters living thousands of years earlier than Neandertahl man, and the discovery of the ‘dawn’ man, Eoanthropus, in 1912 in England, forces us to give up the monogenetic origin of man and accept tho poly- genetic origin. . “If we now want to discover man’s oldest ancestor we must go to FEoan- thropus and not to Pithecanthropus, for the former has all the characters which promen should possess, char- acters which were common to the first man and to the first anthropoid apes | as exemplified in the cranial charac- ters of the young of both species to- day. “For, according to that great Dbi- genetic principle, more commonly known as Baer's law, we see why the skulls of the young of the Neander- thal ce and the young of the an- thropbids or h‘umun—Hks apes are so different from those of their parents. The principle expressed by this law signifies that the ontogeny of thae in- dividual recapitulates the philogeny ot the race—and this is whera the law throws light upon the problems under consideration—that the youns of any species represent morae truly and closely than do the adult mem- bers of the species the actual ancestral type from which they spring.” “A large collection of photographs will be used by Dr. Hill-Tout in illus- trating his theories.

JAZZ 1S SEEN IN HOUSE FURNITURE Furnishings and Clothes of This Crazy Design Decried by Brisish guthority. London, April 14.—"Jazz" furni- ture, clothing and wall paper were described by Sir Charles C. Allen in an address before the first National Furnishthg Trades convention here. “English furniture has ranked so high in the estimation of the world " that one wonders how it comes that in it at this moment a disease is devel- oping of the jass type,” he said. “Will the public buy the jazz types of eloth- ing material we see offered for sale, and the far worse things one finds printed and in wall papers$ wholesale stores? Jazz of all kinds is like rubbish of all kinds; it is not likely to last long.” “I have recently been shown great quantities of materials of most un- harmonious color and crude design,” he said, “things which might suitably be exhibited in a very dark cellar rather than in the light of day or in our homes. I was assured dressmak- ers were buying them largely. What a home should be like to mateh such clothing 1 do not care to think. “It makes me devoutly trust that skirts of such materials will be noth- ink like so long as they are tpdav. The human form will certainly oc- casionally be better to look upon than these monstrosities. They are pro- ducts of a dangerously decadent movement.” NO WIRELESS STATION.
