One of the things that wont work until men are ready for it, is the brotherhood of man. Dont forget that a train travels on a fixed path and cannot swerve.

A man reflects before a comfortable fire; a woman reflects before a mirror. Our New Book of Everyday Etiquette BISONS FAMILY TREE . . . First comprehensive study of the Great Plains bisons lineage is being made by University of Nebraska state museum from its collection of buffalo skeletal remains. The large skull and horns (foreground) are 500,000 years old and belong to the first type of bison to roam the Great Plains area. The skull at left is 50,000 years old while the one at right is a buffalo, nearly the same as the present type seen in parks and zoos. Dr. C. B. Schultz, director of the museum, is on the left, with W. D.

Our peoUncle Sam surreptitiously sneaks millions and drew hunters from$ over the world to the plains of Kansas and Nebraska, first came to North America about 500,000 years ago. That was when the second of the three big glaciers of the Ice Age was retreating from the northern Great Plains. Dr. C. B. Schultz, museum director, and W. D. Frankforter, assistant curator of paleontology of the museum, report that their studies thus far indicate two unusual tendencies in evolution of the bison. First, the great granddaddy of them all who came to this con- -' N tinent from Asia was characterized mainly by huge horns which averaged 80 inches from tip to tip. But the body of this creature, known scientifically as superbison, was less than a foot taller and a foot longer than the present buffalo. Succeeding generations showed only one significant change: size of the horns. They steadily shrank to todays average of 22 inches from tip to tip. The body remained nearly the same. Second, the bison, unlike other prehistoric animals found in North America such as elephants, rhinos, horses and camels, first appeared on our continent as a large animal and decreased in size. The University of Nebraska scientists also believe, on the basis of ' present studies, that the bison population has had its ups and downs. The first bison, they say, apparently was relatively few in numbers since only a few scattered skeletal remains have been found thus far in Kansas and Nebraska. But they increased in numbers rapidly as the climate began warming up, and more food was made available to the growing herds. But about 20,000 years ago. a human civilization, apparently a race of hunters, migrated from Asia to this tontinent, and the numbers of bison were greatly reduced. These tribes, suddenly, disappeared however, from the Great Plains for reasons which are still a mystery to scientists. After their disappearance, however, bison herds staged a comeback. The herds gained steadily in size, even after appearance of the early Indians in the Great Plains region. But with the' coming of the white man, the bison all but disappeared from the continent. The research work now under way at University of Nebraska is expected to take at least five more years to complete. Mind Your Manners from your pockets in the form of income tax? If you do, particularly if youre a farmer, you may obtain some consolation from a local banker, who contends that the federal income tax has helped Oklahoma farmers. R. M. Kobs, president of the First National bank, maintains that many farmers are making more money than before because of the income tax. Paying the tax, he insists, forced farmers for the first time to add up income from the little things like milk and egg checks and feed sales. As a result of having to figure their tax, the banker concludes, farmers have come to know just what profit they are making from some crop, instead of merely guessing theyre getting along all right. $100,000 Cool Grant Remains Unused ior Period of 80 Years PITTSBURGH, , ; PA. For ple highly approved of. the marriage. Ours was a church wedding. After that there were happy years getting the new house running, welcoming two beautiful boys. The boys now are 9 and 7; we both adore them, naturally. But between Billy and me there is a complete break. We just dont seem to talk the same language any more. Sometimes were polite and silent. Sometimes we flare up at each other for a moment, when he feels that I am indifferent to his interests or I make plans that dont include him. And then of course sometimes we quarrel, when he comes home tired. I am always tired, with two house lively boys and a to manage without help. There isnt any other man; there isnt any other woman.

The hospital found that there were not enough needy residents in the designated areas to spend the the hospital took the fund case to court the combined funds were ordered turned over to the Pittsburgh foundation. Is it smart, this letter to go on with this half-lif- e, dragging through days without love that really is life to a woman? Is it fair to bring the boys up in this lifeless atmosphere, hearing no happy home talk, hearing only civil replies and occasional outbursts of anger that show them how completely out of sympathy we are? Freer and Happier Apart. I should never marry anyone else; I dont believe Bill would. But mightnt we both lead freer and happier lives apart? Call it incompatibility, call it mental cruelty on both sides, call it what you like. But doesnt it spell failure, and isnt there something one can do about it? e Dog Saves Woman From Second Fire CHICAGO.

Frances wonders if she and her husband, too, wouldnt be happier if they were divorced. She says she would never marry again. She just wants to get away from a loveless atmosphere. Miss Norris replies that such a divorce would be a fatal mistake. Sooner or later Frances would be wishing she were back in the se- curity of her husbands arms. After a complete break, such a return would be impossible. Frances should do everything she can to regain her husbands love, advises Miss Norris, and to make a happy home for her sons. She wont busy herself with growing flowers, studying a language, keeping her wardrobe charming, starting table games with the boys and their father, asking Billy at least one sympathetic and interested question at night about his business, telling him at least one tiny detail of good news as he sits down at the table. New Problems Will Come. She wants to. remain an eternal adolescent, an eternal bride, always seen through a mist of reverence, white veiling, orange blossoms. She says she wont marry again, but presently she will, to give the boys a good father, to have a mans influence over them. Then wreckage. Then the claims of the new husband jealously pressed against the older claim of motherhood. Then financial degradation. Billy must help support the boys. Billy hasnt paid this month; Arthur must pay. The heartbreak for the children. They wont show it; theyll shut it into their puzzled, inarticulate little boy hearts. Theyll pay all their lives for Moms incompatibility and Dads mental cruelty. Cheated out of home, Mother, Dad, cheated out of the love and security that is the first essential to happy living, happy and safe growing-up- , what can be expected of the boys except similar stupidities and mistakes. Im afraid Frances hasnt the qualities that pull a marriage out of a jam like this. They are great qualities : Courage, imagination, Shed affection, have to be made over. No, shell run the usual course explaining, justifying herself, softening it to the boys, setting her jaw stubbornly when Billy asks her to reconsider, to try again. And three years after she ends this potentially happy, perfectly normal marriage, how shell want to be back in safety, with Billy and the boys. Three years? perhaps three months. Perhaps three weeks.
