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

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.

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."

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."
