Tho realization of th dream ' otf cfe an

when In position for the washing opera

as to Impart a peculiar rubbing motion
o thp soiled currency. This action Is re
peated a number of times and serves to
trash all surface dirt out of the bills.
When the washing Is completed the
bill Is in similar manner swished ' back

tance of prolonging Its "llfo" becomes
manifest. Fortunately, tho treasury has
had an opportunity to mako some ad

the small-size money. AH tho paper cur

The only objection to the new departure
seems to be thut for some tlroo there will
bo two sixes of paper money In circula
tion. Out this difficulty Is to be obviated
as for as possible by preparing In advance
great quantities of the small notes, which
on a fixed date will be exchanged for tho
big opes at subtrvanurlM, banks and
ofher large financial Institutions all over
the country.
Incidentally, It Is planned to reduae the
nineteen designs on tho currency now In
uko to nine, using tho same, portrait on
ono denomination throughout. Thus the
one dollar bill, whether treasury note,
bank note or certificate, will bear the
head ot Washington In the center of Its
face. Its holder will know the denomina

SURE MAN WAS A MONKEY
Government Anthropologist Tells
Why nnd ilorr the Tntla
Were I.itat.
"Man cannot have arisen except from
some more thcrold (anlmal-llke) form
aoologlcally," It Is deolared In "Early
Man In South America!" Just issued from
the government printing office. '
Ales Hrdllcka, curator of the division
ot physical anthropology of the National
museum, Is the author of the publication,
which Is known as "House ot rteprecnta.
tives IJocument, No. 481."
"On the basis ot what is positively
known toduy In regurd to early man. and
with tho present scientific views regard
ing man's evolution," Mr. Hrdllcka says
in his report, "the anthropplogNt has a
right to expect human bones, particularly
crania, exceeding a "few thousand years
In age, and more especially those of
geologic antiquity, shall present marked
morphologic differences, and that these
differences shall point in the direction
of more primitive forms.
No conclusion can be' more firmly
founded than that man Is a product pt
an extraordinary progressive differentiation-from
some anthropomogdnlo stock,
which developed somewhere in the later
tertiary among tho primates. He began
then as a organism that In brain and
body Mas less than nun, that was an
anthropoid. From this stag ho" could
not become at once as he Is today, though
In some stages ot his evolution he may
have advanced by leaps, or at lesat moro
rapidly than In others. He must have
developed successively morphologic mod
ifications called for by his advance to
ward the present man. and have lost
gradually thou features that Interfered
with his advance or became useless
progress which is still unfinished."
Among other things that man lost on
his way from monkey to man is a long
and hairy tall. Mr. Hrdllcka does not
HSffj
Store. Victor Horn Type
say so, but he Indicates it.
"Wo know these to be facts," Mr.
Hrdllcka continues, "(1) because all or
ganlo form la essentially unstable, plas
tic, reactive to changing influences, and
to this law man's complex and relatively
dellcato organism can form no exception;
(2) because the best authenticated skele
tal remains of early man show without
exception a more or less close approxi
mation to more prlmltlvp primate forms;
(S) becuuse theso older human forms
Bhow, In general, more therold features
In proportions to t.- geologic antiquity;
and (4) because morphologic differences
which have occurred In numerous hlstorlo
groups of mankind within relatively re
cent times are very apparent today n
tho various races of men, and are con
stantly arising In tribes, in lesser groups,
In families and in individuals.
"Evolutionary changes havo not pro
gressed and do not progress regularly
in mankind as a whole, nor even In any
of Its divisions. Such changes may be
thought' of as a slowly augmenting corn,
plex of zlgsags, with localised forward
feaps, temporary baitings, retrogres.
along, and possibly with even occasional
complete cessations. Thus It would pot
bo reasonable to expect that at any
given dato In the past or present all
the branches or members ot the human
or pro;human family would be a abso
lutely uniform type. At all periods
some Individuals, and even groups,
Were doubtless, more advanced than oth
ers from the ancestral and nearer the
present human type. Nevertheless, the
morphologio status of the man In each
geological . period had, unquestionably
Its boundaries, and there Is no evidence
or probability that two human beings,
a geological period or more apart, could
be so closely related in form that theli (
crania or skeletons would show strictl)
one nnd the same type, - ,
"The antiquity, therefore, of any hu
man skeletal remains which do not pre
sent marked differences from those of 1
modern man may be regarded, on mpr-1
phologla grounds, as only insignificant ,
geologically, not reaching In tlruo In all
probability beyond the modern, still un
finished geologic formations. Should
other claims be made In any case, the
burden of definite proof would rest, heav
ily on those advancing them.
"Other considerations bearing on this
point have been brought forth In the
writer's report relating to ancient man
in North America,
"Thti essence ot the subject is that the
expectation of Important form differ

ences between human skeletal remains
ot goologlo .antiquity and those of the
present era is Justified; that the differ
ences presented by tho older remains
should point in the direction ot zoologic
inferiority, and that where Important
structural differences pointing to an
earlier evolutionary stage are not found
In the human skeletal remains which are
the subject ot study, . and especially
where the given crania and bones show
olose analogies with tjiose ot modem or
oven of the actual native race of the
same region, tho geologic antiquity of
suoh remains may well be regarded as
imperfectly supported In fact, as Im
probable." Dr. Hrdllcka was disappointed in what
he found In South America, .but he Is
certain that man come from a monkey.

EVANGELINE IS - AWAY OFF
Kldcrly Crttlo Scoffs nt the
Theories ot a Modern
Feminist.
There seem to be no particular reasons
why the opinions of Dr. Evangeline W. :
Young of Boston should be telegraphed all.
over the country merely because she Is
teaching eugcn.es and Implores young peo-
plo not to fall In love at first sight. Fall
ing In love at first sight, like measles or
glanders or lying, is one of the things that
we cannot help. As they say on the bills
of lading. It is an act ot Qod. Failing in
love at first sight and dying are the two
superhuman events of our tlfe, and be-,
cause they are superhuman fhey are be
yond our control. I
Now we don't want to be hard on Evan-.
gellue. She means well, although how she
can lecture on eugenics without blushing
It Is hard to say. It must be the climate.
And with such a name, too. But when
she says that matrimonial disillusionment
always follows. love at first sight she is
talking the jure, unadulterated rubbish.
Disillusionment always follows matri
mony, Evangeline, no matter whether love
was at first sight or at twentieth. Every
one knows that, although our courage n
saying so Is exceptional. Love at first
sight, remarks Evangeline. s often caused
by some trifle of dress or manner. Right
you are. Never was profounder truth
stated in simpler language. Boston scores
once more through her gifted and eugenic
daughter. And gold mines are usually
discovered through some trifle of surface
formation. All great events wars, revo
lutions, matrimony and all other crimes, j
disasters and catclynms-orlginate ,from
trifling causes. Nature always begins
with something very small when It 'is
planning something very great, anil
Evangeline would hardly believe how tiny
we ourselves Were at birth. There fo
nothing on earth of such cbllossal size as
a trifle, nothing go full of profound pur",
port as an insignificance. The man whw
allows himself to be .attracted by "sottia
trifle of dress or manner" has more in
tuitive science In his little finger thaiv
all the eugenics put together have In
their whole Cosmos.
