HUMAN FEATURES RAPIDLY
I CHANGING. SAYS SCIENTIST
_
LOXT>ON\ June 7—We do not
' use our brain to half their capacity,
| says Sir Arthur Keith, British Scien
' tist. who has just returned from the
| African jungle where he made a
minute study of the brains of gorilla
^and gibbons.
j "Most of us,” declares Sir Ar
thur "have more brains than we
know what to do with."
The famous anthropologist said
that changes are now taking place in
the human world more rapidly than
at any formr period, Mit that the
time has not come yet for the pro
duction of supermen. During the
! war he explained, the average sta
ture for a man was 5 feet 6 inches
j the same as in the neolithic period.
The average for men leading pro
j fessional lives is 5 feet 8 inches.
The scientist snys he is convinced
j that certain characteristics, which
are easily recognized in the bodies of
a large proportion of our modern
population are of recent origin. The
most plastic bone .in the human body
i he said, is that under the gums, in
■ which the teeth are rooted, and it is
i here thaT the most marked changes
; are to be noted.
| “In quite 30 percent of the people
this bone." continued Sir Arthur,
“instead of spreading outwards and
! giving the roof of the mouth a wide
and low vault, as in prehictoric races
grows in a vertical direction giving
i :he palate a narrow and high arch.
"In these contracted palates there
is no longer room for the normal
j number of teeth. Such as appear
are crowded; the wisdom teeth of
ten fail to cut or are absent alto
gether.
j “The recession of the teeth give
i the modem nose and chin an undue
‘prominency; the tendency of all
; modern changes is toward the pro
1 duction of long and narrow faces.
The ‘adenoid’ type of face, with
j which medical men are so familiar
j in modern children, was unknown in
; prehistoric times.”
OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR NAMES
UNPOPULAR MAN SCHOOL JOB
STILLWATER. Okla., June 7— :
Accompanied by several officers of
the National guard, George Wilson
Farmer-Labor and Non-partisan lea
gue organizer, took possession of
the keys of the Oklahoma Agricul
tural college this week, following
his appointment as head of the in
stitution by the Governor. Wilson
was dropped from prominence in
Farmer-Labor circles following a
statement alleged to have been
made by him, in a course of a con
versation, to the effect that every
time he saw an American Legion
button he felt like shooting a hole
through it. But he was a staunch
supporter of Governor Wahon dur
ing the primary campaign a year
ago and was given the appointment
after the governor had organized
the board "of trustees. The appoint
ment was made over the protest
of a thousand students who recently
called on the governor in an ef
fort tb prevent the selection of
Wilson.
