THE C1T1ZIJN, FRIDAY, MAKCIt 1, 1012. I'AGIS 8 NEW THEORY OF MAN IS STARTED , , , . Discovery Shows Human Race Older Than Was Thought, BONES FOUND IN ENGLAND. They Aro Much More - Like Modern Briton Than the Neanderthal Type, and Their Age Is Estimated at More Than 100,000 Years. English scientists nrc taking Brent Interest In the discovery of ii skeleton beneath nn undisturbed layer of bowl ders and clay In East Anglla, now Nor folk and Suffolk. If the evidence U tood this skeleton must be that of a mnn who belonged to n race thnt lived In that district before the most severe of the various Ice movements of the glacial period. A singular feature of the discover) Is that In most respects the skeleton re Bembles that of the modern English nian and Is not of the more simian type to which the Neanderthal man, though a much later phenomenon, be longs Primitive Type Survived. There now seems to be a growing body of evidence that the modern type of man was evolved at nn extremely early date, before the beginning of the glacial period, but that for thousands of years afterward the primitive or Kenndcrthal type continued to flourish Until this find the Neanderthal man wns regarded as the oldest In Europe, and one of the scientific commentators says- "Some people were hasty enough to discern In these Neanderthal men, with their monkey-like qualities, evidence of the missing link It Is now clear that they were survivors of a stock which had deteriorated and not progenitors of our race if we have to accept the the ory of evolution-and it Is still only a theory- It is a puzzling fact thnt man has changed so little In 100,000 years" Professor Keith's Opinion. On tills point Professor Keith, an thropologist at tlie museum of the Roy al College of Surgeons, says of the lat est disrovery: "There is every evidence that this man lived long before the glacial pe riod. During this period England was covered with a great thickness of Ice. Finally this melted and a layer of debris was deposited. It was under neath n deposit of this sort that the skeleton was found; hence he must hnve lived before the ice age and be fore the rivers formed. "The finding of this skeleton strengthens the belief that the evolu tion of man was nn Infinitely longer process than we originally thought At one time believers In the evolution theory thought thnt man's develop ment to his present stnte might have tnken something like 10.000 years. I.nter they put the period nt some thing around 20.000 years. The differ ence. If anv. between this man's bodi ly framework and modern man's Is so minute as to prove that the evolution UJIIKl IliliC lULUll UUIlUieUS Ul IJ1UI1 Bands of years. "Tics discovery shows that England was inhabited ns early as If not ear lier than any continental country." HARBERTUNNINNIBERTUNMA. It's a Chicago Girl's Front Name The Other Is Pillow.

Although the county committee un dcr President Koenig has declared so overwhelmingly for the renomination of Tnft, Republicans In the county committee declnre that this actiou was taken before Colonel Roosevelt an nounced his candidacy.

Calls Taft Reactionary. Boston, Peb. 27. The Roosevelt cam paign bewail here when the colonel, who announced before leaving New York that his Boston visit wns not a political one. Jumped Into the ring, hat nnd nil, and led off with a speech de livered before the house of represent atives. Then he went to the senate chamber nnd said a few words there. He did not call uikiu Governor Toss while at the stutebouse. Colonel Roosevelt explained to call ers his position on the third term. What he meant when he said lu 11)0-1 nnd repeated In 1007 that he would not accept a reuoinlnntion for a third term under any eirc'iimstauces was that he would not accept a third consecutive term. He also Is snld to have told Ills callers that he did not believe Presi dent Taft has the confidence of the people und that lie had crown reaction ary In otllce. "It must be clear to any reasonable man that the precedent which forbids a third term has reference solely to a third consecutive term. It grew out of the fact that a president of tlie United States under the present sys tem of electing delegates can, If he knows how to, use the machinery at his disposal, renominate himself, even though the majority of the party Is against him. "But nfter he has been out of otllce for a term he has lost control of that machinery. He Is In the position nbso lutely of any private citizen. The ma chinery then Is lu the hands of the man occupying the otllce of president." The colonel was asked If lie would support the nominee of the Republican national convention at Chicago, and to this he replied: "Of course I will." 1 7 Cents a Day" j The Plan That Promotes Success THE " 17-Cents-a-Day " Plan of purchasing The Oliver Typewriter means more than promot ing Miles of this wonderful writing machine.
