FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 192j THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OKEGOK Wants Soulmate to Share Fortune t1; Wf h'A Uno Unv Salem, Oregoa As Independent Newspaper, Published every erenln except Stmday Telephone 81; news II GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher Men and Monkeys Evolution and the Darwinian theory are lately coming in for an unusual number of raps from the Bryans, the Volivas and other champions of the special creation and divine origin of man and laws are being passed to make their teaching a crime, iust as they were a few centuries ago to keep tne earth flat and the sun moving. Yet man is composed funda mentally of the same materials as the rest of the universe, of the same elements as those "that murmer in tne waters, gallop in the winds and constitute the substance of the insen sate rocks and soils." Man is an animal and his body is composed of cells, as all other animals are. Like all other animals he grows from a single cell, is mortal, dies after an alloted period. He inhales oxygen and exhalescarbon dioxide as does every other animal, wnetner it nas lungs, gins or skm. Let us indicate some of the points of similarity of con struction between man and other animals: Man is a vetebrate, has a backbone, like fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, all of a universal type with modifications to suit environment, with some -parts specialized and some parts atrophied. He differs only from others in that he uses his posterior limbs for locomotion and his anterior for prehension, his axis is erect instead of horizontal and his tail is atrophied. He possesses all the physical qualities of the vertebrates, a two chambered body cavity, a dorsally located nerve trunk, vertebrate vital organs, a closed circulatory system, a ventral heart, red blood, a head containing brain and sense organs, and a well ordered internal skeleton. Man is a mammal, like the horse, the deer, and the hare and all other animals that have hair, instead of scales or feathers ; like them, he is viviparous, the eggs hatching within the parental body, the helpless young sustained during infancy by secretions of the milk glands. Among mammals, the lower jaw is joined directly to the skull, instead of being suspended by a bone. The heart is four chambered instead of two chambered the red blood corpuscles are double concave and circular, instead of convex and oval, and a diaphragm divides the body cavity into chest and abdomen. Man is a primate, that is, like apes and monkeys he has arms and hands instead of forelegs. He is the only primate using hind-limbs solely for locomotion, though all of them use the arms for manipulation. Fingers and toes of primates end in nails, stomachs are shaped like bag-pipes, milk-glands are located in the breast and are but two in number, and have a disc-shaped placenta. So physically, man is related to all other animals, anrl more closely related to the apes than any other, both prob ably of common ancestry, despite man's strenuous efforts to tnsciaim hi3 distant relations and humble oric-in. As TThyW says: 'The structural differences which separate man from uie gorma anu cnimpanzee, are not so great as those which separate tne gorilla from the lower apes," while Haeckel adds lv .ln,.,.r , "A'! that 'th' anthrl"'I "e not only pecullar- ., , iiiKucdiiy one ana the same In even- " ""- BKeiiHon; me same 300 muscles effect ' ", e aiua uair ciotnes our nk n; the same four chambered heart In iho ro.iri niu .

Substitute Baby She Loved As Own S9 -a v.w.?r if StarlighT By the Noted Author IDAH M'OLONB GIBSON Man differs from other animals principally by his greater brain capacity and consequently higher intelligence which has enabled him to dominate the world. Somewhere along the course or his progress, he has developed a spirit or soul, tno ne may not be alone in this. That man's intelligence is not much to boast of is shown in Kentucky, where large organizations have appealed to the state legislature for a law making it a criminal offense to teach in any institution maintained by taxation "any theory of evolution that derives man from the brute or any other lorm ot Me or that eliminates God as the creator of man by a direct creative act." A majority in both houses of the legislature te said to favor the bill and if it passes, the proud old commonwealth of Kentucky win stand like a rock against scientific progress and modern heresy. The example may be followed in other states, and Voliva's flat earth and solid sky may yet be made pan oi tne constitution.

He said he had seen both Mabel Kormand and Mary Miles Mlnter at Taylor's house but not at the same time. Cnderwood said he left Los An geles about 10 0'rlock the night of Wednesday, February 1. This was shortly after the hour fixed nd for the slaying of Taylor. He said he went to San Bernardino in hired automobile and was under the influence of liquor.

Underwood under arrest in Topeka, Kansas, lived for six months or more. Mad dux said that during that period Underwood at no time mentioned knowledge, of Taylor or Sands or any information concerning mo tion picture production or people connected therewith. "I do not believe Underwood is Sands or had any connection with the murder tf William Desmond Taylor." Maddox said. "There were no activities or interests of his that I could associate with the motion picture people. He work ed punctually, did not keep irreg ular hours, appeared to live an ordinary regular life and seemed to live within his earnings. He mentioned having relatives in New York and Pennsylvania and having served in the British navy." j Underwood is sought by a bond ing company on a charge of ap proprlating- funds from the Pa cific Electric railway, an lnterur- ban system company here by illicit he was employed as cot- lector or auditor.

Kitty Attends a Ball Again I put Edide's letter down a moment to dream. Wouldn't it be wonderful If he" could write stories that could be made Into pictures and I could play the her oine! I Just couldn't see how he could make a heroine out of me In his football story. He must have us ed his imagination a lot. I pick ed up the letter again and reading further found that Eddie had flat tered me by saying: "Yqu know, you are a pipin outside as well as inside the story and if the Post takes it, it will be because of you. "And If please don't think I am fresh or anything if the Post takes It, and if they pay me for it won't you let me send you well, if not a diamond ring, let mo send you a bracelet or a bar pin or a locket. Honestly I am saying this because I know that If you don't, I shall probably blow the money In on something that amounts to nothing and I would like to have someone to have some thing tangible as a memento of my first story. "That word, first may seem ego tistical to you, but it is not. 1 am going toVrite, Virgie. "And wouldn't it be lovely if some day I might write a story that could be made Into something In which you would play the her oine? ' Whether this comes true or not, remember, dear, you are al ways first In the heart of "EDWARD C. MONTFOUTH "P. S. I am signing this in this way because I am an author. I smiled at the boyish post script but liked Eddie all the more for it. His letter was a whole some touch that brightened a sor did atmosphere. The days passed quite monot onously because I did not recover as quickly as I had wished. I seemed to be tired all the time. Kitty tried to induce me to ge down to the desert, but I was d termlncd to stay until I heard from Theodore Stratton. The flowers came regularly and disappeared as regularly. I did not ask bout them, but It gave me a secret satisfaction to know that Kitty was using the money for our household expenses. She would not hear to looking tor a Job for herself, always con tending that her eyes were not yet strong enough to face the strong lights of the studios. Once or twice she went out for an even ing party and tried to make me go with her. Both times when she came back she told me of sll the people'she had seen. She did not mention Theodore Stratton's name and neither did I. But when she told me that she was going to the Screen Artists' ball I determined to ask her the next morning about Mr. Stratton if she did not mention him. It seemed to me that be must be back from location and yet 1 wondered why he had not written me or called to see me. The next morning Kitty was bubbling over with news ot the people who were there. 'You never saw so many sequin 4owns In orour life, f believe they make them especially for the movie trade. Almost every girl was decked out in a glittering coat of malt. I really wish I had n't worn mine. I saw three or four there that were prettier." "Oh. that was the reason, was It, Kitty? Tell me who was there." "Everybody, Including your be loved Theodore." "He is not my beloved," I said stoutly, glad tor once I had Urength to do It. "Well he thinks he Is the be loved of every woman he sees. He he danced with every star and near star In the place, and dis tributed his smiles covertly to all the rest of us. He happened to get me while I was standing In a somewhat secluded corner, and he asked: 'How Is Miss Win ston? and I answered that you were not able to oe out yet. "Maud Sanson came up ' just then and he said from the corner of his mouth next to me and away from her: 'Give her my love and tell her that she will hear from me soon." "Kitty, you can be very nasty when you want to be?" "What have I done now?" grin ned Kitty. " "You have made me think that Theodore Stratton would not ask about me before Maud Sanson." "Well, he wouldn't, if you really want to know." "I can't believe that. He in vited me to his table with her that first night In the "Alexandria." "Sure, but can't you see that made him a hero in Maud San son's eyes rescuing damsels in distress, and that sort of thing "He killed two birds with one stone by that little act, my dear. He made Maud Sanson think he was a gentleman and he made you think that he was most interested in you." "He is clever, that's all." Tomorrow Surprising Newa Wins Technical Knockout.. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. -10. Manuel Martines of the Los An geles Athletic club was awarded a technical knockout over August Qotto, 113-pound amateur cham pion ot southern California, in the main event ot the club's monthly boxing show last night. New York, Feb. 10 It w as only a nameless baby girl the doctors brought to Mrs. Frank Kennedy when her own little one died shortly after birth, eleven months! ago. Now, by decree oi tne sup reme court, the baby has been taken away from her the tiny creature who had restored happi ness to a distracted, childless mother. And last night. In her modest home in Brooklyn, Mrs. Kennedy grieved as deeply as tf death had taken the Jnfant upon wnom sne had lavished all the affection that a mother could give her own. Thirteen months ago Yearda Sahlstrom, employed by a Brook lyn physician, gave birth to a baby girl. Joseph Tucker, a one legged veteran of the A. E. F.. who she Bald was the father, re pudiated the parentage. But fhe Justices In special sessions held him to be the father and ordered him to pay S3 a week toward the child's support. tt thaU time Jlrs. Kennedy the wife of a B. R. T. guard, lost her first born. Yo assuage her grief, the physician suggested to Yearda that she give her baby In to the care of the heart broken mother. And so little tilllan Tucker- so she was listed in the court papers filed recently took the place of Mrs. Keieeoy's dead Ba by. Mrs. Kennedy knew full well the stigma that rested on her new baby, but she came to love her as deeply as If she were ths Kenne dy's own. Recently ths Sahlstrom girl decided that she wanted to have her baby turned over to the care of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hall, of Babylon. There was no question that the Kennedys' though In ex tremely moderate circumstances, gave the baby every attention and comfort. But the mother determ ine that her child could be brought up in better circum stances. So the New York Church Mis sion Society, acting for the mother had the baby and her foster mother brought before Justice As pinall, in Brooklyn, on a writ of habeas corpus. Tucker, the alleged father, al so was subpoenaed. When asked hr Justice As Din all whether he was the father of the child, he re plied: "That was settled la Special Sessions. I was ordered to pay for its support." '&Jf , ti-M--i.'lHt4it Ail.li Whiskers do on. look better off iM,oevi than they Men who argue much are noted for their ignorance.
