If the Westall bill would result in the re- lease of Brindell it is not an argument against the Westall bill. It is, on the contrary, a grave re- flection on the Parole Board, which the Board ought to resent. Brindell certainly does not deserve clemency. He still maintains his control over his orga tion. Until his criminal-minded associates are content to step down and out of the Building Trades Council, Brindell deserves continuing pun- ishment.

The time that has elapsed since life first stirred in the waters of the world has been divided into Ages, which successively appeared upon the scene. During the Age of Moliusks no backboned animal existed, During the Age of Fishes no land animals ex- isted, During the Age of Amphibians, when creatures born in water learned to live on land, neither reptiles nor inammalg existed. During the Age of Reptiles mammals were evolved, but they did not take possession ot the wilds until about the time the, great reptiles became extinct. Due to the dominance of mammals the present age is called the Age of Mammals. Since the beginning of life the earth has undergone great changes.’ Every, wind that ever blew, for example, has swept dust from the mountains, and every rain and running stream have washed down soil, the dust and debris having been deposited, layer upon layer, age after age, in valleys, in lakes and in the sea, These layers constitute the leaves of the Book of Life. Within these thick leaves are em- balmed, like fossils in rocks, the re- mains of the creatures that inhabited the earth when the layera were de~ posited. Such a record may be mis- represented; it cannot be falsified. This infallible book explains creation. in terms of evolution. Due to earth« quakes and other conditions in difter- ent parts of the world the lower leaves have been left open upon the surface, so all may be studied without deep digging. i In the lowest layer are found only, the sheils of invertebrates out of which fishes grew. Reptilian remains first appear in the drift materials deposited during the Age of Reptiles. In the lower levels of the layer now being deposited the remains of rep~ tiles and amphibians are rare, bus where the bones of reptiles disappear the bones of mammals first appear. It is highly instructive to find thas the early mammals were not those »f to-day, but were mammals of a plain reptilian cast. They were nearly , all connecting links. The horses of that time, as may ve seen from the skeletons in the Yale mu- seum, looked more like tapirs than horses. They were about the size of foxes and had four perfect toes on their fore-feet and a rudimentary fifth. Hogs and hippopotamuses were then indistinguishable, Beginning near the bottom of the topmost layer of drift, the skeletal remains of semt-apes are found; immediately above and in regular succession appear the remains of apes, man-like apes and ape-iike men, including such super-simian, creatures as Pithecanthrapus, the Dawn man, the Heidelberg man, the cave-men; then, beginning in that part of the layer which was depos? ited some twenty-five thousand year ago, the unmistakable bones of low4 down savages are encountered, show ing that homo sapiens had arrived upon the scene. Now, if evolution were a “guess,"*) as William Jennings Bryan calls ity or if it were a “ranking hoax,” ag Prof. Le Buffe asserts, how easy iti would be for them to prove thein charges. For if all animals wer@ created simultaneously, as they say, the skeletal remains of all would be intermixed in all the layers of ‘the drift. The finding of a skuil or bone in a layer where dt does not naturally belong would overturn the whol@ theory of evolution. But one might as well look for a river running uphill. THAT WORD? 151.—SUBJUGATE. 4 The origin of all “triumphat™: arches, including the Washington} Arch at the foot of Fifth Avenue, id the yoke that attaches oxen to thei#, burden. In early Roman times con+ quered tribes, or rather their eur vivors, were passed under ox-yokes: in token of their subjection. The word “subjugate” embodies tg its etymological formation ‘this ceres mony of subjection. It is made u of the Latin words “sub” (under) ai “jugum" (a yoke). Long after victory won under gove ernments of the peoples professedly lost the meaning of subjection of t! enemy to the yoke, the arch sure vived as the symbol of victory. And) the spectator who gazes admiring! at the impressive lines of the Arc dg Triomphe in Paris or the Washing ton Arch in New York is apt to for4 get that the arch ag a public monws ment is the symbol of tyranny. cl MONEY TALKS By HERBERT BENINGTON.
