CLEVELAND.?The man of the future may not be the stooD-8houl* dereri, weak-Jawed, one-eyed, bulging-domed, toothless runt science has pictured him, according to Dr. Montague Cobb, who studies skulls and skeletons. "He may not be a bad-looking chap at all," said Dr. Cobb, associate professor of anatomy at Harvard who spent several months studying the collection of skulls at the Hamann museum of Western Reserve university here. "He may even have some teeth?if he gets enough brains." The cause of many tooth troubles ?crowded teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, and possibly tooth decay, originated millions of years ago when a little animal known as the tarsier had the audacity to stand on' its hind feet, and to use?its forepaws as hands. "The smart little tarsier was a tree dweller, and our common ancestor," Cobb said. "He was the first animal, we believe, to discover the use of the hand for work and mischief." Hand Work Improved. As the tarsier's descendants found additional uses for their hands and brains, they had less need for toothy snouts for grabbing food. New uses for the hands required bigger brains, and bigger brains required a bigger brain case. After a century or so, the Jaw of the animal receded while its brains bulged forward, crowding the teeth. "The tarsier, by standing on its hind feet, caused a lot of toothaches," the scientist said, "but we believe now that as evolution advances further, and the brain cavity becomes still larger, more room may be created for the teeth, and tooth troubles may become a thing of the past. "In other words, if man wants to save his teeth, he should develop more brains." Analyzes Trapeze Artist. In his studies to determine the fate of the human teeth and digestive system, Dr. Cobb was interested especially in the feats of an individual famed in song and verse ?the man on the flying trapeze. "Trapeze artists," he said, fingering a toothy skull which once belonged to a Neanderthal cave man, "are remarkable in their ability to hold a woman with their teeth. One wouldn't expect such strength in the face, but a study of the skull reveals that it is divided into two sections?the brain case add the face." i While only five fragile hones hold on the face, the brain case is held to the body by strong muscles," he said. "I found," said the scientist, "that the growth of the huge brain case over the front part of the head was responsible for strengthening of the jaws, enabling these acrobat fellows to perform their remarkable feats." New England Man Builds Tiny Farm in Spare Time BOSTON.?Two years in the making, Huston Dodge, whiled away his spare time by constructing a miniature New England farm house, which is furnished throughout with | toy reproductions of Seventeenth and early Eighteenth century furfiiture. J Dodge specialized in building construction at Wentworth institute and put his knowledge to good advantage by equipping the house with windows, doors, table drawers, table catches that operate perfectly! The farm buildings are made of antique pine wood. The framework of the house is similar to that of early Colonial types with solid looking beams and joists. There is a fireplace in each room and all of them burn well. The furniture is beautifully made and reproduces the early pine pieces usually found in museums. The builder even braided a number of rugs for the floors. He also made a tiny loom, which is capable of weaving. The house is complete with barn, chicken houses and a well sweep. Church-Theater Meets Approval of Community ESTILL, S. C.?A church-theater arrangement in this tiny South Carolina town is working to the benefit of both parties. The united churches of the vicinity hold their regular services in the town's new air-conditioned theater, reputedly the only one in a village of this size in the United States. Their attendance, which had dropped grieviously because of the summer heat, reportedly is prospering again in the cool building. Age of Man Is Reckoned At About 2,000,000 Years LONDON ?Men existed at least 2.000,00a j'ears ago, back in the MIocone *<e, James Keid Moir, who delivered the Huxley Memorial lecture for 1939, said. The oldest of all traces of intelligence are the stone implements and engravings on horn and bone found at Aurlliac in central France, he-declared.

Lou* IN boootoaltf Th? curtain <h?cended upon tho 1989*1940 polo Mfttoii In Onuiden lMtl Sunday aud from now ou uutil uext November the sport fan* of Camden and vicinity will have to satisfy their sport appetites by imbibing ou Junior legion baseball, aoftiball aud oocasioual tenuis, golf and forays to Columbia to see the Hods in station. j The finis to the polo season was written to an dbllgato of wind and \ rain which caused spectator* to make I a mad rush for automobiles aud the I grandstand. I The game went to , the M^ateree I team' captained by Joe Bates by a margin of one goal, the final tabula j tfon being 4 to 3, with the DuBose I Camden foursome at the short end. 1 The game was not without its I thrills as the players took off exactly I where they left oft the week before when a knotted 6 to 0 score resulted. I I Wateree opened up the acorlhg Sun- j day when Bates scored In the first 1 I chukker. The Wateree team widened the gap I on Boykln's sensational scoring feat I in the Becond chukker. Bates had I rushed the ball from the center of the | field and had made his shot for the I goal. The drive was wide however, I and at an angle th'at caused the wll-1 low to bound past the goal posts. I Boyklu was comlug up fa?t from an-1 other angle and caught the ball after I it had rolled past the uprights and I was about 16 feet out in the field. I Boykln's drive sent the ball back at a I hairpin angle and squarely between ' the counting sticks. In the third chukker with the score 5 2 to 0 in favor of the Wateree four- j some, DuBose of Oamden started a I scoring fest of his own and when the I I bell rang the end of the period the I count was all tied up at 2 all. Bates gathered his second goal in j the fourth period and his third in the 1 fifth to put his mates to the fore 41 ! to 2. But DuBose charged baqk with I i a rally in the sixth and soored his 1 third goal of the afternoon. In the fifth chukker the wind came. I Out of an inky sky over in the north-1 west the gale swept down and the period was played out In a flurry of I flying branches and dust kicked up by I the feet of the ponies, j In the sixth came the rain and it I I came down in sheets. Referee Henry | Savage, Jr., had defied the gale but I the extreme dampness of the rain caught him unprepared and signaling his gee gee for top speed sailed across the field and into the shelter of the stables. Not so the polo players. They were -so in leu i on the game they alsi^ard rain and missing referee, in fact, on the only out of bounds toward the end of the chukker. they discovered they ! had been playing without the benefit of official and it was necessary for a very damp colored chap to dash out and pitch the willow into the playing area. But the game was over so far as 1 scoring was concerned and when An[ crum dashed out from the shelter of the grandstand and tolled the bell, it was the knell of polo for several months at, least. . " Your scribe took a quick told of many of the spectators In the cars and -grandstahd to ascertain the name of the "most popular player." in as much as it was a distinctly Wateree throug Joe Bates took top honor by a mile while I>uBose, Light foot .and Tupper ran a dead heat for second. The Sunday game marked the completion of one of the most remarkable polo seasons on record. Whereas in January and February winter weather with rain and snow caused 'the cancellation of a number of games, the players made up for it by playing through the last Sunday in May. That made a season of six months? which is just about doufole the length of a polo season, whether it be in the north of the south. The 1940-1941 season will begin in November, according to the polo dull). ^Cyril Harrison, coach and star performer will be back early in November to get his players in tralinng and prepare for the opening game on the last Sunday of the mohfh. HITLER AGENTS With American industry speeded up to help the Allies, look out for sabotage in all of its forms! The same diabolical genius that sent the Nazi fifth column into Poland, Norway, Holland and other lands to assist with the betrayal of those countries Into Hitler's hands is not overlooking America. And don't forget that this warped demoniac brain is one of the most powerful that ever resided in any despot's cranium. German agents are scattered all over this land?they are in every state?yea, perhaps in every hamlet, intent upon carrying, out their master's bidding. Some apparex^ly accidental mishap, some unexp'Tafhed fire, some railroad wreck may bo the work of German agent*. It will not only pay th? United Stores government, but every state, every county, every municipality, every community to be on its guard.?Chester Reporter. State Democrats Would Back Allies I" Columbia, May 16.?The South Carolina Democratlo party convention called upon Congress today to make war materials availably to the Allies, adopting a resolution to that effect which said Germany was waging a war "against all international law and against all morail or legal right or cause of any kind." The resolution petitioned Congress to "immediately repeal the Neutrality Act and the Johnson Act and provide for the sale and delivery at American ports of munitions, airplanes, implements of war and any other commodity to Ukigland, Prance, Belgium, Holland and their allies, and similar democratic and non-aggressor nations for cash as long as their cash lasts and then to extend credit and loans to these nations for the purchase of these commodities here." It also urged that "Oongress provide for adequate national defense." "That CongTess be requested to Increase the air force division to such a point as will provide adequate national defense from the air. "That' enrOllees in Civilian Conservation Corps catnips be friven such military training as is practical. 'That the term of service of citizens military training camps be lengthened as far as practical. "That the national guard be fully and adequately equipped and doubled In Its strength." i A druggist's magazine, describing characteristics of drug addicts so that druggists may recognize them, says all addicts are fond of very loud music. 1 Huge Taxes Corns] From CigoM The cigarette manufacttmi|| a tenth of the annual United States governmenti billion dollar*.
