The Cordova Alaskan hits the nail
on the head when It says: Too much
credit cannot be given J nek Dalton,
of Cordova, for the stand he has
taken in the mining of the Matan
uska coal for a naval test. He re
fuses to allow the expedition to be
"jobbed" by apparently interested
and overly officious understrappers
in the employ of the government,
and if there is attempted a repeti
tion of the farce that resulted in
the Bering riiver fields, its accom
plishment will only be secured after
a personal encounter with our
townsmen, and the public fully ad
vised of the double-cross given Al

"I
Husband, Rather Than Wife, to Blame
For Discontent Which Leads
to Divorce
By JOHN J. FRESCH1. Magistrate. City ol New York
FROM my experience on the bench of a court tliiit interprets the law
and fixes the penalty in cases that range from misdemeanors to
more serious violations of the criminal code 1 have come to the con
clusion that it is LESS OFTEN THE WIFE THAN THE HUS
BAND WHO STRIKES THE PRIMARY CHORD OF DISCON
TENT.
IN MY SHARE OF THE SOME SIXTEEN THOUSAND CASES OF
ALL NATURE THAT ARE ANNUALLY PASSED UPON BY THE
TWENTY CITY MAGISTRATES I HAVE OBSERVED THE MARITAL
PROBLEM FROM EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE. THIS CONCLUSION
COMES TO ME: THE PERCENTAGE OF DIVORCE IN THIS COUN
TRY IS INCREASING THREE TIMES AS FAST AS POPULATION;
FOR EVERY TWELVE MARRIAGES THERE IS ONE DIVORCE. AS
TOUNDING. ISNT IT, WHEN WE THINK NUMERICALLY OF THE
PARTICIPATION IN MATRIMONY AND THE RESULTS?
Sociologists have argued that the rift in apparent domestic felicity
comes because one of the pair develops rices or reveals unpleasant traits
of character. But between the F1KES OF MATRIMONY and the
ASHES OF THE DIVORCE COURT this theory loses its identity.
It isn't that either of them has contracted new vices. Rather, one or
the other has ceased to be tolerant of old frailties. The complainant
cavils at what once was condoned.
! Prehistoric Skull Indicates That Man
Lived More Than 500,000
Years Ago
Bv Dr. LEON J. WILLIAMS, Anthropo'ogist
THE anthropoid ape and man have a common origin, but man branched
ont in one direction and the ape in another, and EACH HAS
DEVELOPED ALONG DIVERGENT LINES SINCE.
The sknll found by Charles Dawson in a gravel plateau where some
workmen were excavating foundations for a building had one-half of
the lower jaw and two teeth intact. Dr. Smith Woodward, head of the
geological department of the South Kensington museum, restored the
skull with plaster of paris casts, putting teeth of the gorilla type in the
lower jaw. ®
MY CONTENTION WAS THAT THE SKULL HAD BEEN RESTORED
THE WRONG WAY, AS IT WAS CLEARLY THE SKULL OF A MAN
OF LOW TYPE AND NOT OF A GORILLA. IT HAD THE PROG
NATHOUS OR SQUARE JAW OF THE GORILLA, BUT IT HAD SKULL
DEVELOPMENT TO SHOW THAT IT WAS HIGHER THAN THE APE,
AND I BELIEVE IT WAS THAT OF A MAN WHO LIVED FULLY
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
The antiquity of the strata in which the skull was found by Mr.
Dawson has been estimated by geologists to date back to that period.
Lime deposits in caves in which similar skulls and bones have been dis
covered were under stalagmite, which, forming at the present rate,
WOULD TAKE AT LEAST SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS
TO COMPLETE THE FORMATION.
