■s Today Only Five Lines. IS'o Missing Link. Don’t Sell Short. Making Bad Medicine. By ARTHUR BRISBANE __ Just five lines, filling a little hole in a page crowded with advertising tells the story. Andreas Fried rinsk, 68 years old, hard, honest worker for 60 years, killed himself because he was worn out and could find no employment. If an old horse had jumped over the. cliff in despair or walked in front of a locomotive that would have appeared on the front page; the cruelty to animals society and the “Bide-A-Wee” home for dis couraged animals would have been excited. Men that write the history of our “civilization” 10,000 years from now will find all they care to know about it in those five lines. The Hague reports a tribe of “missing links” inhabiting some of the small islands near Sumatra. These “mysterious creatures, half man and half ape,” are called by the more highly developed na tives “orang padeks.” Scientists will find such creatures described in Marco Polo’s travels. That ancient Ventian was a close ob server. ^ __ ' There are no “missing links,” therefore none will be discovered. Various animals, of the gorilla, ofang outang and chimpanzee type, developed sLwly through a million of years into the leading types of human beings, African, Mongolian and white. To find the connecting kinks between the chimpanzee and Daniel Webster would be as difficult ai to put your finger on the con necting link between a baby one hour old and a man of 70. . To judge a chain, examine its weakest link. To judge the human race, study savages. The Canadian mounted police have brought down from cold North British Columbia an aged Indian squaw and four others. This is what they had done: Game was scarce. Many died of hunger. Some “maker of bad med icine” must by “sorcery” have aroused the evil spirits. . A young Indian named Ttol of Moassln was found, at night, mumbling strange words over the fire in his shack. He, of course, was the maker of the bad medicine. The old squaw betrayed him, young men tied him to a small tree and left him hanging head down ward for several days, dying slow ly. Then, growing impatient, the old squaw cut his throat. ,'She and the others probably will be hanged. How far from civiliza tion is a planet with hundreds of millions of such savages? And for one superstition in the Indian, you will find 10 in the various white races. You can’t have civilization k until you have civilized people. r* A recent marriage, attracting Europe’s attention, reminds you of the constant mixing process that goes on among different tribes of human beings. Sir Basil Zaharoff. 74 years old, ope of the world’s richest men, has pried up gigantic fortunes in many countries. The biggest owner of s|pel works in England, he owns | more than half the Monte Carlo gambling house, great banks in Paris and elsewhere. This most mysterious person is half Greek, half Russian, born in (/onstantinople, naturalized Brit ish. There are at least 50 races mixed in his blood. He marries a Spanish lady whose full name is Maria Del I’inar An tonia Angela I’atrochino Simoni de Mugurio Y Beruete, duchess of Marquena and Villa-Franca dn Las Caballeros. There are many kinds of racial possibilities in that name, Moorish, Carthaginian, Basque. A new comet is discovered, / “blazing across the sky two hours behind the sun.” It’s a big one, net quite strong enough yet to be seen without a telescope. Once such a visitor would have filled millions with fpar. Special prayers would have becen offered, nations and individuals would have .'♦arched their souls and reauked themselves. Now we say: .'“Another comet; is that so?” And go about our business. Betting on Coolidge is 3 to 1. An ^kn#uncement that A1 Smith will run again for governor did not change & the odds. ,•* Wall street’s election gamblers believe that Smith’s nomination won’t increase Davis’ strength, or they believe that many voting for Smith will vote for La Follette against Davis. There is Round judg ment in the latter belief. rropyriRht, 1524 > $176,000 ASKED ! FOR MAN’S DEATH PpcHnl DUpntch to Tli* O nnh»» H r.
