White Beard
And if your beard is white in contrast
with a dark crown, or if your chin beard is
white as contrasted sharply with dark whis-
kers and beard, you will find your mammal
parallel in one of the African monkeys.
Graying at the temples, so common to
man, is the feature of a common primate pat-
tern which is well developed in the gelada ba-
boon, says Miller, who also points out that
the distribution of hair over the human body
strikingly coincides with short and long,
thick and light hair-regions of the gorollas.
As to hair on the face, Miller says that
“the sexual hair pattern on the face of the
human has never been shown to aid man’s ca-
reer as a species, but it seems clear that in
this respect man has developed in the same
general way as the white-cheeked gibbon of
Siam, the orange of Borneo and Sumatra, the
black howler monkey of South America and
the macacco lemur of Madagascar, all of
which have sexes that differ from each other
in appearance. Man and these primates 1 ve
followed a tendency that may crop out any-
where in the group of animals to which they
all belong.’’
Miller concludes that man probably has
these characteristics not because they are of
use, but because, as a primate, he could not
avoid them. He insists, however, that super-
ficial features of this kind often appear in
almost identical form in two animals whose
relationship is shown by their anatomical
structure to be remote.

injuries to the total number of boys playing
the game is still very slight. There are those
I who would burden it with more reforms or
release it from all restrictions of even make
it strictly intramural sport. Because of the
combinaticrtrtrf unusual results of the season
the perennial criticism has been doubled and
redoubled.
But as the criticism wells up one fact
remains. Nobody knows the faults of the
sport any better than those who supervise
it and those who play it. Already the rules
committee is surveying the 1931 gridiron. Al-
ready pressure has been brought on those
schools which have to make needed reforms.
And the financial problems are being worked
out by those in whose province they lie. Ob-
viously what football needs most of all is less
destructive criticism from unqualified critics.
Football, disturbed as it is, is working out its
own problems. It probably will do a good
job.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

W. J. Teefey, city purchasing

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, (UP)—If your bald-
ness begins in the form of two blunt wedges
on the sides of your forehead above the ears,
it is indicative of your remote ancestral con-
nection with the Celebes black ape specie, a
co-member of the great primate family to
which the human race belongs—so says Ger-
rit S. Miller, Jr., curator of the Division of
Mammals of the Smithsonian Institution.
After many years of study Miller makes
this and other conclusions, released in a
Smithsonian publication.
Uniform Hair Line
There is likely to be a uniform rising
o fthe hair line on the forehead, he contin-
ues, which is a specific characteristic of the
bald chipanzee. The bare spot which begins
to form at the top of the crown at the same
time as the blunt-wedged baldness at the sides
of the forehead is an occasional character of
one of the macaques.
Man tends to retain a fringe of hair with
baldness extending over the crown and this
completely developed human bald area is per-
fectly outlined, Miller shows, in one of the
South American monkeys; and the long dark
hair at the side and back of the head of this
animal occupies the area that remains haired
in normal human baldness while the light
hair on the medion area corresponding with
the human bald spot is so short and sparse
that it does not conceal the skin of the scalp.
And so on.

AUSTIN, Tex. —’(UP) —New
surveys were being made today
in the Yates oil field in Pecos
county as attorneys for the state
prepared a legal defense of the
Texas school fund’s largest reve-
nue.
A disputed tract of 8,600 acres,
allegedly “lost” on land maps be-
cause survey lines were not in-
clusive, contains the world’s larg-
est gusher. The well made 206,000
barrels daily when opened wide,

proration orders.
The land was declared a vac-
ancy by the state and sold to Ira
Yates for $1.50 per acre, mineral
rights reserved, in 1920. Since dis-
covery of the oil pool, the land
has yielded thousands of dollars
to the public school fvnd in royal-
ties.
The late R. B. Whiteside, how-
ever, contested a land commission-
er’s ruling that the land was a vac-
ancy and his heirs are taking up
the contest. Trial of the case has
been set here for Jan. 18.

Perhaps you did not do It then.
Perhaps you wore doubtful. Perhaps
you felt there was no danger. Per-
haps in the meantime there has been
an epidemic of diphtheria in the
schools of your community. It Is a
winter disease. Perhaps there have
only been one or two faint rumblings

McCAMEY, Tex. — (UP) —
A movement started in Upton
county and said to be gaining in
West Toxas is seeking to place
Judge R. Bonna Ridgway, attorney
of San Angelo., in the race for
attorney general.
Petitions are being circulated
in this county as a first move in
the campaign to draft him into the
race. Ridgway formerly lived in
McCamey. He is a former member
of the legislature and was author
of the first automobile law that
went on the statutue books in
Texas.
Ridgway has made no statement
as to whether he will become a
candidate but it is believed he
will make a statement within the
next few weeks. Part of the peti-
tion reads:
“We the undersigned voters sf
the state of Texas solicit the aid
of all Texans in promoting to the
office of Attorney General of-
Texas a good lawyer, an honorable
man, an able speaker and one
whom we believe would not use
the high, honorable and important
office for the promotion of his
political fortunes to the injury of
the state. The man we would rec-
ommend for the offic? is Judge
R. Bonna Ridgway, now of San
Angelo, but until recently a citi-
zen of McCamey. He has served
his state two terms in the legis-
lature; has served as city attorney
of Fort Worth, Cisco and Mc-
Camey; was state chairman for
the late and lamented Woodrow
Wilson in his candidacy for the
presidency of the United States in
1916 and secured more money
from more contrrotftors. for Demo-
cratic campaign purposes during
that year than has ever been re-
corded, before or since. He re-
cruited the first volunteer military
unit in the United States for the
World War. He made an excellent
record as special attorney for the
state game commission.”

The things we like to hear are often not
“ Likewise,
y times the things that don’t sound so
king are the very things that we should
ve pointed out to us. Just such an experi
ence was had yesterday at the Chamber of
Commerce Luncheon in an address given by
Major Bodenhamer.
In the course of his remarks the Major
enumerated a number of things from the pay-
roll viewpoint. Among these items listed
were the Oil companies that were maintain-
ing large payrolls in this community. The
money making up these payrolls it was point-
ed out was spent by those employed right
here in Henderson. It was also shown to
What extent large cities would go to secure
ouch enterprises as had been thrust upon us
here, and the little effort that is apparently
made here to hold them and make the em-
ployers glad they had located in Henderson.
Another item mentioned by Major Bo-
denhamer was the Daily News. This partic-
irise is of course, nearer to us than
naturally the remarks hit us for-
cibly. A year ago the Rusk County News,
‘ ly newspaper, employed three
people. Today The News Publishing Com-
pany, publishers of the Rusk County News
•nd Henderson Daily News, employs twenty-
five people. The money paid these people is
spent right here in Henderson with every
line of business represented in the town.
We wonder a lot of times if this fact
Maans anything to Henderson. We wonder
if it is considered that the beginning of a
daily newspaper and the publication of same
has any significance to Henderson. The
Daily News has a payroll of more than
|40,000 dollars annually. This scattered
•bout among the various business institutions
of the city is quite an item. We do not mean
to bring this before the people in any spirit
Wf bragadocia yet we would have all know
Just what the Daily News means to Hender-
son in a material way, that if it were not for
the Daily News and other enterprises that
the past year has brought, Henderson mer-
chants would suffer a loss that aggregates
thousands of dollars during a year’s
scholastic records show.
TeXhs high school graduates
made a general average of 4.72,
as compared to 4.48 made by stu-
dents from outside of Texas.
Grade of 1,014 first-year students
from state schools and 123 stu-
dents from out-of-state schools
were included in the statistics.
Sugarland, with an average of
8.06, represented the highest
grade for a single town. Amarillo

ridge 6.37; San Angelo j6.46;

Merriment at Funeral
FOGGIA, Italy (UP)—Vin-
cenzo Franchiotta of nearby Cer-
ignola, who was always a man
who always enjoyed spirit, left
instructions that his funeral was
to be made an occasion for merri-
ment rather than grief. He order-
ed the hearse to be accompanied to
ths cemetery by a jasi band,
dressed in gay costumes, direct-
ed that only lively danee tunes
should be played during the fun-
eral. He ordered that a certain
sum should be spent from his es-
tate on a banquet to friends the
eight of his funeral. Hie wiahee
No-o-o-h, I don’t care whether
you Join the general bulk of carol-
lers or not. but I certainly hope
you're not going to go muggy, for-
get the spirit of Yule, and give the
folks a let-down on the gross re-
ceipts of Christmajs.
Incidentally, this year will be
mates from out-of-state schools, tops for giving practical gifts that
you yourself want, Instead of Inti-
mate, personal nonsensltles. If
you’ve been sore about the shower
curtain being too short, for instance
just give one of the new delicate,
modern 'design ones in black and
white rayon and cotton satin to
your wife, who doesn't take show-
ers, such as the Metropolitan Mu-
seum shows in the present exhibl_
tion of American Contemporary
Industrial Art. Or give her a buck-
saw. She in turn can give you a
new vacuum cleaner, or electric re-
frigerator, and the youngster can
put a new terrier puppy in your
stocking, all of which ought to just
about tie the score.
