EVOLUTION IS
PUT TO TEST,
AUSTIN CLARK
Washington WT Orave doubt k
cast on current tneorlea of (volu
tion by Dr. Austin H. Clark, biolo
gist of tha United States national
museum, who has a theory ot his
own to renlac them.
"On the origin of mankind and
animal life in general.'' Clark gives
comfort to the fundamentalists.
So far as concerns the major
group of animals.' be said, "the
creationist seem to have the bet
ter of tha amunent. There la not
tho slightest evidence that any of, I
the major groups arose from any
other. Each Is a special arumai-
complex. related more or less close
ly to all the rest, and appearing,
therefore, as a special and distinct
creation."
Darwin, while held to be wr
in the main, la not entirely dis
carded. Within plain and animal
groups. Dr. Clark allows tor the
working ot the Darwinian theory
brought about by natural and arti
ficial selection, wnua ne aamits
that different breeds ot dogs and
cats may be caused by the artifi
cial selection of the eat and aog
fender, be would allow for no
cradoattoa between dogs and eats.
Dr. Clark, explains toe girane as
an example, by declaring mat me
original pair were freaks born of
some other animals, possibly ante
lopes, and that the food supply was
favorable to the preservation of the
pair who come into the world tor
some mysterious reason with long
necks.
He said he believed that man
appeared In the world suddenly
and declared tn somewhat the same
fashion as the giraffes, and said
that man was constantly throwing
off supposed abnormalities, idiots
and also "supermen ' and that one
had about as hard a time surviving
as the other, because sub-conscious
ly the entire race conspired against
the "superman" by shutting them
up in an asylum of convention and
restrictions.
SERS ALIVE
SAYS REPORT
Washington (IP) Communistic
activities, which are described by
the state department as the prin
ciple bar against American recog
nition ot Soviet Russia, had vary
ing influence on the major labor
troubles in this country during re
cent years..
The offlcal book of tho British
Communists claimed sole respon
sibility was at Passale where the
strike "which was the result of
wage cuts, lnvo.ved 16,000 textile
workers who were totally unorgan
ized, and was led by Communists,"
the bock says.
In the furriers slrlks, the Com
munists do not figure hi the report,
but It is stated that President
Green of the American Federation
of Labor was defeated In attempt
to obtain control of the strikers
end that the strike was won in a
"crushing defeat far the A. F. of L.
bureaucracy."
The Cloak and Dressmakers'
Union of New York, with 80,000
workers, struck in 1926. It Is de
scribed in the book as the second
Important union of that Industry
"to come under Communist and

"It depends on what you save for

save, to see money pile up. It kills
your soul. If yest save to protect
children and their future, that Is
another matter. But neither men
nor women can do both big and lit

largely and get large returns, or
they can spend In a niggardly fash

EAGLE FOE OF DEER ,

INSUFFICIENT
FUNDS GIVE
INDIAN SCHOOL
Administration ot Indian affairs
Is Inefficient rather than dh honest
and much of the criticism directed
against the department Is from dis
gruntled or discharged employes. O.
H. Llpps, superintendent of the
Salem Indian sehooi at Chemawa.
told the chamber of commerce
Monday noon. The school Is operat
ing on half-rations and is now al
lowed half that allowed for state In.
stltutions in many parts of the
country, the per capita allowance
being $200 a year for all purposes
excepting new buildings. The army
allows SO cents a day for rations for
soldiers while the Indian school Is
permitted but 20 cents.
"The . American Indian has al
ways appealed to the imagination ot
the people though tne eariy colon
ists set out to anninuate mm,
Llpps said. "He is no longer regard
ed as a savage or wild animal and
many fine traits and characteristics
have been discovered. This country
is Indebted to the Indian for the
develonment of maize or corn and
tobacco and the white men have
given him more vices than have
been returned in exchange. The In
dian is naturally religious, refined
and artistic and It Is to hits siae
that educational methods are ap
pealed."
Since the Carlisle Indian school
was clued by the government in
1918 the Salem Indian school at
Chemawa Is the oldest Institution of
its kind in this country, being es
tablished at Forest Grove In 1880
and moved to Its present site five
years later. Reotganlzation of the
school has been under way during
the past year, students reduced to
prevent over-crowding, new build
ings built and eld ones renovated,
and sanitation stressed. Tho Che

LEGIONNAIRES
BOXING CODE
Prorpectj that the legislative
committee, ct the American Legion
in the state wi.1 sponsor the pro
posed bill for the creation of a state
boxing -commission Deiore tne legis
lative assembly are alight, according
to rumors about tho capitol lobby
which members of the Legion com
mittee do not deny.
The bill to create the state com
mission with jurisdiction over all
boxing matches in tho state and
the control of all local commissions
has been drafted for investigation
at the instigation of members of
the Portland Lesion post, who car
ried the pan to the state conven
tion of the Legion last summer and
secured Its endorsement.
The proposed bill does not, how
ever, meet with the approval of at
least three of the members of the
Legion's legislative committee of
five, to whom it was referred, and
there are Intimations that the com
mittee will unanimously turn Its
thumbs down on the proposition at
a meeting to be held here Wednes
day. Members of the Legion committee
view the bill as having a political
motive local to Portland, and deem
the plan impracticable as applied to
other communities In the state
where boxing activities are not and
never have been profitable. Mem
bers of the committee also express
themselves as being opposed to In
cluding wrestling in the provisions
of the bill.

the 1927 session be sustained.
The bill which was Introduced
by Gordon during- the 1927 session
would allow building and loan i
sociationa from other states to con
duct a loan business tn this state.
According to McCallister there
exists In Oregon no demand for
competition on building and loan
money and the law. If enacted,
would result In the dumping of
cheap capital In the state.
Both Washington and California
have laws forbidding foreign build
ing and loan companies to operate
in their states McCallister told the
banking committee. "The bill when
It was Introduced In 1921 was per-
ai bin introduced by Interests
trying to get California money up
here," said tne commissioner. "It
i bitterly fought by the local
building and loan companies and
was passed by only one rote."

of saving wayward salmon who
stray from their home river waters

appropriated money for research
by the Bureau of Fisheries to de
vise screens, stops, and dlverters

bureau announced, has been em
ployed studying 38 devices to be
placed at entrances of canals and
ditches.

placed tn the water to set up an
electrified sone through which fish
will not pass. Another Is a revolv
ing mechanical screen which has
been used success fully In Oregon
waters,
