Al Smith says he is out of polities and will' not seek to return to the governor's chair in New York, nor will he make a try for the presidency, lie even goes so far as to state that he would support Roosevelt for that high office.

Unintentionally, and probably because all reporters were barred from attendance, one of the important social events of the season was not given space in yesterday's Observer the Christinas dinner for Observer carrier boys given by ,the publisher and business manager Saturday night. It was strictly a family affair, but deserves particular men tion for two reasons first, because of the amount of de licious food consumed by all those present, and second, be cause of the possible presidents, senators and postmasters tf the future who were in attendance. . So many great , men rtqd-,ap.gr.,bp'!i,,tl;at;wl,lnow tho.. Observer crew of, boys includes its share of potential dignitaries. This was the first affair of its kind for The Observer and the boys did themselves proud. They were told to bring a big appetite and they obeyed to the letter seven teen of 'em, as a matter of fact. Mrs. I'hy's kitchen staff produced delicious quantities of chicken, dressing, cran berry jelly, asparagus, sweet potatoes, consomme, shrimp salad, hot rolls, milk, strawberry sundae, and cake, and the boys did justice to it all. Everybody was urged to liave "seconds" and most of than indulged in an extra portion of some favorite item on the menu. Table man ners were strictly taboo to insure proper enjoyment, and, us one of the participants, wc would say that the dinner vas a huge success. We are proud of The Observer carrier boys. They may l:'it all of them be perfect carriers but they are all "100 I'M' cent boy" and they are loyal to the paper and their jobs. The youngest one of them is 11 years and the old est 17. One of llieni has carried Observers steadily for seven years and one carries a route seven miles long each evening, rain or shine, through snow or mud. Of course they miss some papers occasionally, but they freely admit that all complaints are due to the wind blowing the paper away, or u dog in the neighborhood who carries it off, or some excellent excuse. Now they have plans on foot to heat the wind nod fool the dogs so that complaints will ;ecome a thing of history. Wc hope they are successful. The Observer boys know all the old tricks id' the trade and a good many that are strange to those of us who were carrier boys in the "good old days" the days when type matter was hand-set and the press hand-fed, when modern folders were unknown in the smaller city and the boys folded their own papers by hand, when the papers were as likely to be three or four hours late as to be out on time, when you traded your "extra'1 for a piece of pie and glass of milk at some corner saloon in the cold giey dawn so familiar to the old morning paper routes. In these days wc are fortunate in having better papers, better methods, and lxtter boys. Certainly the most gratifying thing, af ter all, is found in the boys. Next year we hope to have a bigger and belter Christ mas party for the earners, and the boys are looking for ward to it. The Observer has already established carrier routes in lmbler and I'eny and similar impioved set vice will follow gradually in other towns of the two counties. Next year we want to have all those boys join in the an imal dinner here in I.a Grande. And they will have to bring unusual appetites if they compete successfully with the present aggregation. r- : ' ; n ! Mtf MiS VAMCE. ' jEV I BEFORE. MOW I iji " . MEET NT- WIFE.

This view indicates that apes may have beep descended from what we know an a, human. Professor Hill-Tout took excep tion to the decision of the Prince ton sclentisL lr. W, 13. Scott, who claims that the "Javanese, ape man" was the most primitive man of which the world has record. "The fossil may be the oldest In our museums, hut I think that Konic of the Inter fossils show more truly the original character istics," said the professor of an thropology. "In my opinion the Javanese skull is a specialized type of its day, and therefore not a true example? of early man." Professor Hill-Tout bac his contention on the accepted law of capitulation, which says that the young of a species live - 'through ancestral forms. The human foe tus taken on and loses successive Tincestrul foruu during develop inent and tho ape foetus follows almost the same line, so that it is almost impossible to distinguish between the skull qf a, human ba by and of a baby ape... The ape., however, develops along a differ ent line of maturity while the liu- man baby keeis the' same general characteristics. Thorefon:.' -savs Vrofcqsor Hill-Tout, the hurrv.n baby follows the ancestral line and the ape baby degenerates or goes off on a tangent. Judiriiiir t"l from these facts, the original an cestor of both Hues wan human and not upe. - This fact is often , disregarded i by American scientists, and I do not think that Dr. Scott has taken it into consideration in his deci sion that the Javanese fossil is the iaost primitive man." Professor Hill-Tout Is a member of the executive board of the Scholl of American Research, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and holds several other titles. He published recently a volume entitled "Han and His Ancestors," which outlines his views and knowledge on the sub ject of hum ah descent. Hoiseriieat Becomes Luxury to Frenchmen PARIS AP.
