During the war, he ex- | the average stature for a man was 5 feet 6 inches, the same as in the neolithic period. The average | for men leading professional lives is | 5 feet 8 inches. | « The scientist says he is convinced | certain characteristics, easlly recog- | nized in the bodies of a large pro- | portion of our modern poulation, are| or recent origin. The most plastic| bone in the human body, he said, is s+that under the gums, in which the| teeth are rooted, and it is here the most marked changes are to be noted. | “In 30 per cent of the people this bone," continued Sr. Arthur, “instead | of spreading outward and giving the | roof of the mouth a wide and low | vault, as in prehistoric races, grows | in a vertical direction, giving the| palate a narrow and high arch, i “In these contracted palates ther@i is no longer room for the normal| number of teeth. Such as appear are | crowded; the wisdom teeth often fall to cut or are absent altogether. “The recession of the teeth give the modern nose and chin an undue prominency; the tendency of all mod- | ern changes is toward the production of long and narrow faces. The ‘ade-[ nold' type of face, with which med- | ieal men are familiay in modern chil- | dren. was unknown in prehistoric | times.” ‘ | | CENTRAL AMERICA UNEASY Nicaragua Sends Troops to Frontier | | of Honduras To Stem Tide of l’ld3\0~!1 lutionists Bent on Trouble, Managua, Nic., June 7.—The Niea- raguan government is sending troops | to the Honduras frontier, fearing that | the revolutionists who are reported to be active in that country will rrnui the fronter. | i J SHSWEUSEONLY SROMCLf i as having | Margaret Robinson, Mt.

By The clated Press Athens, June T7.—Thanks to an American girl-—Miss Margaret Rob- inson of Grand Rapids—Crete has been relieved of the presence of the faious Greek bandit Barbounts, who has terrorized the island for 15 years. Every kind of crime and outrage has been attributed to this outlaw and his 80 followers, and repeated efforts to Faultl ;ath;::dgjgs\/g Shoes for Women “Little Dorothy” Oxford for Misses’ Wear capture the band have resulted dis- astrously for the gendarmes. When Miss Robinson, a graduate of Mount Holyoke college, arrived two months ago as the representative of the Near East relief, she found that Barbounis, ‘was interfering with the distribution of refugees among the villages. She sent an envoy to the famous outlaw to ask whether hs would abandon his tactics if she ar- ranged amnesty for him, and suggest- ed that he ask the Athens govern- ment for permission to join the army on the Turkish frontier. After brief negotiations amnesty was granted Barbounis and the ban- dit with his followers embarked from Cambia superbly mounted, to join the “King's Own" regiment at Dedea- gatch, Style, fit and lasting oalue ave built into this model of davk Mahogany Calf, with welt sole and rubber heel.
