THE DESIRE FOR MORE. ,
There are certain part of th world, notably ia
Africa and th South Seas, whert the nativat have
ao law wants that neither labor nor business can ba
aaid to exist Ona need not endorse every phata of
modern industrialism in characterising such an effort
leas' life far from idyllic.
Salesmen for the international trading concerns
'male no impression there. Shoaa and trousers are
superfluities, and they prefer' the tom-tom to the
talking machine or saxophone. There ia a factory
run by a presumably Christian gentleman in Eng
land that turns out gaudy idols for savages to wor
ship, but for tha most part, they ask nothing of civil
ization but to ba left alone.
Fortunate it ia that the civilised world has greater
wants than these. Were man to revert to doing
without; the entire baaia of modern Ufa would ba
swept a, way. To the limited extent to which the
buyers strike, unemployment and wage reductions
cut purchasea of goods, the standard of living and
the progress of man baa been set back. ,.
From thia it appears that the salesman ia tha man
of the hour. , It ia he who will lead mankind to de
sire more and better goods, start the mills on new
orders, give employment to thousands of men and
women and generally speed up the circulation of
money.
Sir Charles Higham, perhaps the " outstanding
figure among the army of men promoting sales, de
clares that the world today can be saved by just one
thing business. He is now in America, attending
the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World. '
"Advertising," he maintains, "is the greatest re
formative agency in the world. It has made us hy
gienic, it has made us tidy, it has dressed us well,
it has given us the love of the beautifuf, it has decor
ated our homes, it has educated our children, it has
raised to a higher plane our whole civilization."
Call it advertising, call it business or salesman
ship, it still remain? true that one of .the distinguish
ing features between backward and forward races is
that the latter have more wants and are constantly
increasing them, partly on.' their own initiative &nd
partly through the solicitation o people with some
thing to sell. '.
MEMORIES OF A FULL LIFE.
v An Omaha woman celebrated her ninety-fourth
birthday Tuesday. . She is the oldest resident of the
Old People's Home, oldest not only in years of life but
in the years of membership in that interesting group
whose average runs well past the allotted three score

mind of a high school youngster, she has lived there,
but for her that period of but a fraction of time.'

What a wonderful recollection is given to men

the old, to sympathize with them. , Yet the old need
never fear an idle hour. Always they have a store

and of. cheer, memories rt the wonders worked by

. THE POWER OF A GIANT.
-Being a Hottentot is not half so funny as it
sounds. A remarkable story of how a rebellion in
southwest Africa was put down makes this clear.
' The rising was crushed by English aviators who
spotted the natives from the air. and scattered bombs
upon them. , One band of Hottentots sat warming
themselves by a fire in a mountain gorge. Ten of
them could have held an army at bay in this fastness.
But from above the airmen dropped bombs and
opened machine gun fire, killing scores and setting
the rest to flight ' .- "V,. .'iv

This 1s tha third year that a group of earnest women,

Omaha, this fall, will do something of the sort
when a pageant of Nebraska will ba put on by the
school children as a part of tha festivities of Ak-

organisation will only take up the movement enough
community interest will be forthcoming to give it
backing. It would not be difficult to find a natural'
amphitheater the great ravine in Hanscom park,
with its high slopes forming a bowl, offers one possibility.
St Louis has made aa institution of its outdoor

WELL DONE BY THE SUN.
Ona does not hava to remain long under tha
glare of the summer sun to ba impressed' with its
heating qualities. The cost and the wood with
which mankind warms 1 itself 1 in winter are but
storage houses of these rays. '
HoW to make use of the solar heat mora di
rectly and immediately ia a problem that ia engag
ing science today. Dr. C. G. Abbott assistant sec
retsry of the Smithsonian institution, in fact, is
now on his way to Mount Wilson, California, to
make- further experiments with his solsr cooker.
The official announcement runs thus:
This device for cooking, using only the heat
. of the sun aa fuel, was brought to a considerable
degree of perfection last year, all the cooking
for. the field party for the whole season being-
done witn it. The apparatus consist of a para
bolic cylindrical mirror with a polished alumi
num surface which focuses the sun's rays on a
tube filled with mineral oil which communicatee
with an iron reservoir in which are two baking
ovens of different temperatures. ' The circulation ,
of the heated oil produces a very high tempera- '
ture in the ovens which is maintained for several
' hours even after the sun has gone down or ia
covered by clouds.
With . this cooker ' it was possible to cook
meat, vegetables, bread, cereals, etc., and to can
fruita and vegetables and make preserves. This '
yearit is hoped to even further perfect the de
vice so that higher oven temperatures, and more
prolonged periods of heat storage may be ob
tained. This sounds a arood deal like maeicT t 1at
one reads of it in the shade. But out on the streets
or in the fields, wherever the rays beat down -unobstructed,
it is easier to fancy the coming of the
perfect fuel. ;rt . . -':
NEW RESPECT FOR THE DEVIL. -Disbelief
in the devil as an actual being.
horned, tailed and pitchfork in hand, is rather
more prevalent than once. That only adds to the
contrast of the rise of black magic in Europe. In
stead of fearing the devil, these rriore or less de
ranged devotees worship him. ;,v ?
. In Paris, it is said, a small set of wealthy per
sons have set up an altar over which the "black
mass" is said. Several of the flock claim to have
seen the devil there and to have talked with him.
Oliver - Maddox Hueffer, who exposes some of
these indeeent rites, says that it is an expensive mat
ter to become a devil worshipper. Neophytes are
required to pay the high priestess 100,000 francs,
and every time one attends the services one has to
contribute 1,000 francs toward the expenses of the
temple. The congregation is supposed to number
about fifty, and blackmail has added vastly to the
cost of their affiliation. , ; ?
The shock of the world war gave rise to some
strange cults, but this is at once the most ancient
and the strangest of them all. The devil, in' one
guise or another, has always had his followers,' al
though not always has the affiliation been ackuowl
edged. It is frequently 'said that one may be a
Christian without; joining a church, but how much
more true is it that one may be a devil worshipper
without meeting over an altar in a blasphemous
parody of religion. This abnormal cult in Paris, even
if it did away with its admission fees, could not gain
open allegiance from any large number of persons.
Their worship Ms in secret, just as all that is evil
loves the dark, and it is to the credit of mankind
that it dare not risk the fresh air and light of pub
licity. - . " .
WOMEN AND CIGARETS.
Cigaret smoking among women is becoming more
general In' some circles, it is said, the girl whose
fingers aren't slightly coated with nicotine is a bit
out of style. ' ' v ,
If 'cigaret smoking was a passing fad among
women the sterner sex would probably smile indul
gently, make some fscetious remark, and start talk
ing about the weather. - But the male cigaret smoker
knows how easily it is to get the habit.
Hence he is apt to tike the matter seriously, and
object When an indignant women retorts that "if
men smoke 'em why shouldn't we?" he is apt to make
some seemingly weak reply, such as, "Well, it just
doesn't look right, ihat'a alL ' It isn't womanly."
Yet weak aa it may seem, this reply has much
merit If men were to start powdering their noses
between dances, or applying rouge to their lips in
public what would women ssy? After gasping in
dismay and spluttering indignantly, they probably
would explain their indignation by asserting, "Well,
Ity just doesn't look right it isn't manly." ' -

frank discussion of Japanese policy
as it may effect the United States,
by a penetrating writer who earnest
ly desires a permanent peace and un

tries both of which he knows and

"There are dangers as well as
pleasures In the 'old swimming hole
that should be observed by every
one seeking recreation at the beach
and bathing pool this summer," says
Fred M. Rosseland. chief of the nub-
Jic safety division of the National
Safety council. In urging the swim
mers of the nation to exercise spe
cial caution during the present va
cation season. .
"It is estimated that 7,000, and
more, persons drown in the United
States yearly. - Every summer brings
with it an alarming, toll In deaths
from drowning chiefly through ac
cidents to persons who are not fa
miliar with a few simple rules. Lack
of knowledge of resuscitation meth
ods is another cause of loss of life
which might .otherwise have been
avoided.
"Fundamental in eliminating deaths
from accidental drowning is the fact
that every bather should know how
to swim. Many persons who have
never taken time to learn to swim
come to disaster when, in seeking
escape from the hot weather, they
fall into treacherous holes and drown
before help reaches them. The 'rock

tragedies to his credit if more of his
victims knew how to handle them
selves in water." .

water safety which every swimmer

At the recent meeting of the Na
tional Academy of Sciences la Wash
ington Dr. Henry Fairfield Oaborn
announced the discovery of a tooth
giving evidence of a prehlatorle and
unknown apeolea of anthropoid Inter
mediate between Ihe ape and earlieat
man. This 'discovery, made, by
Harold J. Cook of Agate. Neb., In
tha middle ot Pliocene formation of
that state, In addition to being Im
portant scientifically, ha a a timely
Interest because of the atjaeks that
during tha past few montha have
been launAed at the groundwork of
eclenee through the seal of opponents
or tne racte or tna evolution or man
and haa a dramatic or comlo-aspect
In that It cornea from the home stats
of William Jennings Bryan.
Worn by use when Ita owner was
alive, and worn by water In the cen
turies ainee, thia tooth matches no
known tooth of ape or man, modern
or extinct It la very different from
the tooth of the gorilla, the gibbon
or orang. It is nearest to that of
the chlmpansee, but the reeemblance
la still remote. Nor does It resemble
very rloaety any human molar, al
though It la nearer to the human
than to the ape type of tooth. Dr.
Oaborn claaalflea It as a new apecles
and genus, and names It Heapero
pltnecus haroldcookll, which, being
translated back from the biologist's
Latin, meana "the anthropoid front
tha west discovered by Harold Cook."
The fossil wss found In the upper
phase of the Snake river beds, asso
ciated with the remalna of the rhl
noceroe, camel, Asiatic antelope and
an early form of the horse, now ex
tinct In 1101 the American Museum of
Natural History received a similar
tooth, but It waa so water-worn that
It could not be aafely identified. But
the new specimen looks eo much like
the other that It may belong to the
same apecles and gives hopes that
other parts may be found In thia
field. -
The remarkable feature of the dis
covery lies In the fact that hitherto
no specimens of anthropoid primates,
ancient or modern, hava been dis
covered in America, although they
re common In the old world. It Is
possible thst this Nebraska tooth
will opn a new chapter In geological
history which may throw light on
the vexed question of the origin ot
man. '
According to Dr. Oaborn, the ani
mal la a hew genus of anthropoid,
probably one which wandered over
here from Asia with the large south
Asiatic element which has recently
been discovered in 6"ur fauna by

Dr. Oaborn and Dr. C. A. Ra4 of
the American Museum of Natural
History, alao presented evident to .
the academy that man eulsted be
fore the great Ice Age, which la a
new and very remote date for the
antiquity of man. The recent dis
covery of Tertiary man near Ipawloa,
England, known aa the Foxhall man,
led Prof. Oaborn to vlalt the locality
anS to make a very eareful atudy of
the animal life which eurrounded
thia mm. I'nlike the now famoue
"Cave Man" of the mammoth and
reindeer period, the Foxhall man waa
surrounded by relatively primitive
maaiodona. ' rhlnocerosea and saber
toothed tigers; also hy two klnda of
elephants, tha stralght-tuaked and
the southern elephant. Thia waa
long before the Ire Aae, when Eng
land, even in latitude hi degrees,
was enjoying a very mild climate.
Sine It Is known that the Foxhall
man waa capable of making 10 to It
different klnda of flint implements,
of providing hlmaelf with clothing,
and of building a fire, he sets a new
and very remote date for the an-
i.itu man. because ha ia aaoa-
rated from the Recent period by tha
whole stretch of Quaterny time, or
the Ic Ag. ftcisntlflo men hava
estimated the duration of the lee
Age from 100,000 to TOO.flOO years,
but Prof, shorn la Inclined to adopt
the Intermediate estimate of SZ0.000
years made by the German geologist
Albrecht Penck. The Foxhall man
Is at present known only by the flint
Inatruments that he has left behind.
Unlike Pithecanthropus erectus, the
Hetdelburg man. the Plltdown maa
and the Neanderthal and art-loving
Cro-Magnon racea.' parts of hi;
skeleton have not yet been revealed
to modern eyes.
