Dome-Like Head, Spindling Body And
Perhaps Some Hoofs Will Feature
Mans Make-up In 2,000,000 Years
NORTHWESTERN I'NIVEKS1TY PROFESSOR LOOKS INTO
FUTURE AND PREDICTS HOW EVOLUTION WILL UL
TIMATELY CHANGE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF HU
MAN BEINGS.
CHICAGO, 111., Apr. 9.—Man, 2,000,000 years from now, will
have a Inure, dome-like head, a spindling body dumpy legs and arms
and perhaps hoofs for feet. Prof. Conrad Thoraldson of the zoology
department of Northwestern university, phophesied today in an ex
elusive interview.
With little need for muscular strength, man’s arms and legs
already are beginning to diminish in size, Prof, thoraldson said.
“Mechanical inventions rapidly are doing away with the need
for muscle, the scientist explain-1
ed, “and lack of use is causing the
muscular portions of the body to de
generate.”
More room will be required for
man’s ever growing brain, the pro
lessor pointed out, and this will
bring a greatly increased skull, with
a bulging brow in predominance.
“There is a positive tendency to
ward the bulging brow,” Prof. Thor
aldson said. "The old Cro-Magnon
prehistoric man had a slanting brow
and there was little need for space
in the head because the gray mat
ter of the brain was small. The head
of this prehistoric man was a bony
structure with a protruding jaw.
"Gradually the brow has bulged to
accommodate the increasing store ot
knowledge. The bony portions of
j the interior of the head have given
I way and the jaw has receded. The
j chin has become more firmly mod
| eled, but it has retracted down to
ward the Adam’s apple.
“Save for hardiness and ability to
withstand disease, physical bulk
l means nothing nowadays.”

| Prof. Thoraldson is a husky Vik
I ing himself. He towered above the
j desks in his laboratory, and his white
! experimental apron did not come to
his knees. And his clear blue eyes,
as they gazed out and saw the pro
cesses of evolution in time to come
were the heritage of generations oi
plain and sensible living.

Boston baby,” the savant continued.
“For he will probably have to wear
glasses. With the increase of our
brain capacity, certain physical as
sets have been lost. We are getting
near-sighted. We are losing the sense
of smell, so powerful in tin1 savage
races.
“Not only will appearances be
changed, but society itself will be
different in the next generations,”
he declared. “What the people of
the future are may depend on the
fads and fancies of today. Certainly
the children of the next genration
are going to be more healthy because
the girls today are free from corsets.
The mothers of this generation had
their bodies tightly locked in a jack
et of steel.
If the present tendency contin
ues, the man of the future will re
duce dress to the minimum. We are
giving up superficial things and
gradually coming to realize that
common sense is all important.
Importance of Glands.
“Glands will have a greater func
tion to perform in the future,” he
predicted and went on to explain
that most of us are dissatisfied, and
that by regulating glands we can
produce children who will be work
ers, those who will have intellectual
interests, as the ant family does at
present.
“A British contemporary, Richard
Burdon Haldane, declares that with
in 500,000 to 2,000,000 years babies
will be born and developed outside
the human body. This is called the
‘ecto-plasmic theory,’ and it seems
inevitable.
“The human race is progressing
under evolution. Every time there
is a mating of germ cells there are
16,777,216 chances are useful survive.
We are heading (where we will never
arrive) toward Utopia. We are grad
ually fitting the individual to the en
vironment,” he concluded.

Swinging Back to
Pre-War Styles
CHICAGO, 111., Apr. 9.—Frills and
ruffles, full skirts and long sleeves
* are coming back; boyish bobs and
the masculine silhouettes are going
out, according to modistes who gath
ered here recently for the fourteenth
annual spring convention of the
Fashion Art League of America.
Preening in 100,000 worth of silks,
and satinc, 300 beautiful manne
quinnes strolled down the “peacock
alley” of the fashion show .here in
creations by the foremost modistes
of America.
Predominating trends as shown in
these creations indicate a strong
swing back towards the pre-war
femininity of styles. While the ex
treme high-water mark is reached in
skirt lengths, it was also noted that
almost all skirts are worn very full
