When we pause to consider, among others, that most recent atrocious crime in drab Chicago—a crime wherein two sons of weulth and high education murdered a little boy for no other purpose or reason than to experience the thrill and reaction from a deed so horrible—we find our- selves doubting the ape theory from every angle. There is nothing in it to tickle our conceit or enhance our self- appraisal. We—some of us, at least—have either de- Seended.to such abysmal depths that no attribute of the ape found it possible to follow us, or the ascent of the ape from us must be accompanied by untold hardships and handicaps and no pride of ancestry at all. Thus, if ‘we have descended from the simian, we have disgraced him shamefully. If he has descended or ascended from Us, or is going to, our sins will shame him forever. It isn’t fair to the ape. We should, if there is any justice Teft in us, spare him the ignominy being either our pro- genitor or our posterity. How to Make Money ‘OU can now be a millionaire for a day. In the most i exclusive district of Boston, a millionaire’s home has been purchased by Alexander Bannwart, who has an en- tirely new scheme for making money. The mansion—including all its lavish furnishings, but- Ters, maids and other servants—is for rent by the day or even by the hour. The rental for an afternoon of bridge is $50. Bannwart is evidently a shrewd psychologist. Human Nature is on his side. He is fist in a field that will be Widely developed. How easy it is to make money—if you have a new idea. The Lure of the City JHE lure of Broadway is interfering with factories at the outskirts of New York city. Workers want jobs Tiear the Gay White Way. Some are reported to have quit the factories because they got bored during lunch hour. _ A different sort of job near Broadway may pay less, but it’s closer to excitement and gayety. This is human nature, and it is the thing that is pre- venting a general exodus of factories and mills from large cities to small towns. What percentage of the population —employers as well as employed—is more intent on a good time than old-fashioned work? A New German Danger ERMAN farmers are less interested in reparations and finance than in the potato bug which is marching from France to invade their fields. Quarantine is being established along the border. It’s charged that the A. E. F. brought the potato bug into France. That is not improbable. It might have been by way of revenge for French cooties. The potato crop is the mainspring of German agricul- ture. Quite naturally, Heinie is more worried about the potato bug than our South about the boll weevil. -— FABLES ON HEALTH WHAT ARE VITAMINES? | R.
