In some other spring ages ago an Indian tribe, whose name Is un known,, set to work with a few crude bone and flint tools to dig out the same square of earth. Dig ging for a garden is drop-the-handkerchief compared to the Job these fellowa had. For this house it was necessary to move about 1,100 cubic yards of dirt, which is about 1.100 wagon loads, accord ing to statistics. No Wagon, No Horses. But the joke was they had no wagons nor horses. They moved it with stone hoes and baskets, and 1,100 wagon loads hoe by noe are quite a few. Within this space the Redmen, or 'perhaps their squaws, et four great post in the center, and near the sides of the square they set smaller posts. These were to support the timbers of the roof.

He was thought to have committed sev eral petty thefts during this time such as stealing pocketbooks and thi. 1ikP. If he had been discovered j in the office he could have used the Idea that he was soliciting or ders as a subterfuge to escape apprehension.

Declares Higher Education Should Be Only for Those Capable. Higher educational advantages should be given only to those who have proven themselves capable of using it by their adaptability to learning over a long period of time coupled with a physical examina tion. This was the opinion of Dr. Ernest W. Lindstrom, professor of genetics at Iowa state college, who delivered a lecture on "Newer Con cepts of Heredity" in the Temple Monday night under the sponsor ship of Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa. "Mental ability," he said, "is definitely inherited." He said that the biologists who say that they can take any child and make a doctor, or a lawyer, or a prize fighter out of him if they take him early enough are only stating their opinion on the matter and that he seriously doubts their ability to do so. "Most people," he said smiling ly, "believe in heredity like the father who did until his son began acting like a damn fool. The tend ency of civilization is to sift out and exterminate leadership by sterility of the leaders and by war. It was true of Rome, it was true of Greece and it was true of other nations. "The people of the United States know more about biology than inese oiaer nations am nu tins 'gives them more responsibility. If studied the socalled cultural sub jects they would have a deeper knowledge of the race to teach them to live better and more sane ly" He stated that education does not have any permanent effect upon the human race and that per manent advancement came about in only four ways: by natural se lection; by mutations or sports, by hybridization, which was very lim ited in its possibilities; and by in breeding.
