SCIENTISTS ARE ARCl INC
THEORY OF FIRST ABODE
Beloit.—A friendl ycontest between
teacher and pupil is being waged by
Roy Chapman Andrews, noted ex
plorer, and Dean George L. Collie, of
Beloit College, to establish the home
of the first man.
Collie, head of the authropological
department, believes Africa was the
habitat of the first man on earth. Ilis
former pupil, Andrews, seeks to prove
that man first lived in Asia.
The contest, which has been carried
on for several years,, with Andrews
the more active of the two, has dis
closed considerable evidence support
ing the contentions of both, but man’s
hist home is still a mooted uestion.
‘*1 do not hope in my lifetime to
prove that Africa wos the home of
the first man,” declared Dean Collie,
■'but I do hope to take -ome steps
which may help others to decide the
question.
■‘Andrews is certain that man orig
inated in Asia, and has the backing oi
many good scientists. As 1 to Id him
a tew months ago, 'Let each one of
us go to it. and see which is the best
guesser.’ ”
Twenty years ago Andrews was a
student at Beloit, and his earliest les
sons, in anthropology and archaeology
were gleaned from lectures by Dean
Collie. Andrews was graduated in
1906 and became a naturalist and ex
plorer. During the last ten years be

eavations in Mongolia and other Asi
atic countries have unearthed speci ■
mens which Andrews thinks substan

Alonzo S. Pond and others working
under his direction.

Algeria, he hopes to find tools that

Tools found there in previous ex
plorations indicate to him that man
was irv Africa at a very early date,
even if he did not originate there.
•‘The nearest relatives of man in
the animal world are the large apes,”
he said. “Man has not descended
through these apes, but they are a
relatively close collateral hranch of
•he primates. It is well known that
+he highest apes, the gorilla and the
chimpanzee, dwelt in Africa. If A1

of the human family there are possi
bilities that it would favor a closely
related human family.”
ERADICATING TUBERCULOSIS
AMONG DAIRY HERDS
C. D. Bishop, Federal veterinariar
with the Bureau of Animal Industry
arrived in Fairbanks a few days ago
for the purpose of conducting tubercu

Fairbanks News-Miner. He will re
main there for a week, and will thei
visit other localities en route to tin
States.
Mr. Bishop states that his depart

cows in large measure caused a com-!

The Government, he says, is spend-,
j ing millions of dollars in this inton-i
! sive campaign. Statewide and coun
| try cleanups are waged with marked
' success, each county being declared
free when a test shows the reactors
j to be less than one-half of one per
li nt. Some States are yielding rap
idly, especially in the West, where
: the greatest advance is being made.
The campaign, says Mr. Bishop, will
j reach its peak in 1929, when it is ex
pected a control of the situation will
exist, thus permitting reduction of
surveillance to a fix< ! permanent

Says an exchange:
“The man who has succeeded and
never advertised is only fortunate in
what he has accomplished without ef
fort. Theman who wants business
today must be looking about for those
who want to buy. He must tell why
it might pay the individual to come
lli- i\ ior what ho wants. Buying and
selling is of benefit to two classes—
the one who has the goods and the
one who wants to buy. Where there
is no product offered for sale, it is
natural the one who wants shall ad
vtrtise to reach the attention of those
who might have that to sell. When
the one who wants to sell has that
which it will he of advantage for
some one to buy it. is advisable to say
what if is that is offered, why it is
offered, and say what it is worth.
This is the whole advertising propo
sition."

I WOttDS FLY BETWEEN
NOBILE AND ELLSWORTH
—
New York.—The rumored dissen
sion among the leaders of the dirigi
ble Norge took definite form tonight
when Ellsworth issued a statement
denying Nobile acted as navigator on
the Polar flight. Nobile asserted he
was in complete charge and Ellsworth
“just a passenger.” Ellsworth said:
“I doubt if he understands aviation.
There never had been any differences
between Nobile and myself, but dur
ing the flight I stood for hours with
out sleep in the navigating cabin, and
to the best of my knowledge Nobile's
only part consisted in relieving the
wheelman for three short periods.”
Nobile replied: ‘‘During the entire
flight l acted at all times as captain,
giving orders and controlling what
i verybody was doing. It is obvious
hat the captain doesn't actually hail
die the controls. We could have beer >
successful without Ellsworth, but
i without me the expedition wouldn’t
| have taken place and would not have
i been successful. I tried always to be
| nice to Ellsworth, but now I can’t
! help but tell what everybody knows,
i that he was just a passenger whom I
took on board at Spitzbergen and left
at Teller.”
SAYS SUCCESS OF RAILROAD
LIES IN FEEDER HIGHWAYS
Seattle.—Brigadier General Wilds
P. Richardson said the success of the
Alaska Railroad lies in the develop
ment of feeder highways. “It seemed
strange to be merely a traveler to the
country in which I worked for twelve
years, but I have a sentimental affec
tion which draw's me back,” he said.
