DARWIN RIGHT, SCIENTIST SAYS; 40-YEARSTUDY Man’s Antiquity Estimated at Million Years by Sir Arthur Keith. By United Press LEEDS, England, Sept. I.—Darwin was right, definitely and irrefutably, in his theory of man’s descent, Sir Arthur Keith, worldfamous anthropologist, asserted Wednesday night in a speech summarizing forty years’ study of his subject. “The fundamentals of Darwin’s outline of man’s history remain unshaken,” declared Keith. “I am convinced they never can be shaken. The evidence of man’s evolution from an apelike being that has been obtained from the study of fossilized remains is definite and irrefutable." An almost breathlessly -ilent assemblage of Great Britain’s leading scientists heara the speech, which Keith delivered as president at the opening of the annual convention of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

Prepares Logical Outline He had been for years preparing • cold, logical outline of man’s igin, based on known facts. A year ago, on his election as president of the association, he announced his speech today would summarize his studies. The entire scientific world, abroad as well as in England, had awaited it. AS Keith arose to start his speech, only the nervous rustling of papers broke the silence. “Speakjng as foreman of a jury, impanelled from men who have devoted their lifetimes in weighing the evidence of a man’s origin,” he said, “I give the verdict ‘yes’ to the question: ‘Was Darwin right?’ Darwin Is Supported "Evidence now at our, disposal supports the conclusion tha£ man has arisen, as Darwin believed, from an anthropoid ape not higher in the zoological scale than the chimpanzee. “Man possesses a respectable antiquity of about 1,000,000 years.” Keith’s statement regarding the irrefutableness of the evidence of man’s descent followed. "Since Darwin’s death,” he continued, “we have succeeded in tracing fossil remains of man backwards to the Pleistocene (glacial) period and even further to the Pliocene period. “If Darwin was right, then as we traced back we should have found more bestial in form—nearer to the ape. “That is what we found. Os Great Complexity

“But the process of man’s delopment was infinitely more comex than Darwin suspected. “As we go backwards in time we discover that mankind became broken up not into separate races as today, but into numerous separate species. "When we go still further back, these species become so unlike one another that they must be regarded not as separate species merely, but as different genera. , “Amongst this welter or extinct fossil forms strewing the earth we have traced the zig-zag line cf man’s descent.” Street Car Kills Child Bjl Times Special NEW ALBANY, Ind., Sept.

Sales Letter Wins Lot in Real Estate Contest

essay in sales letter form with which Wilbur T. Gruber, 601 W. Thirty-Second St., won'the second prize lot in the final contest of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board’s series upon why homes should "be owned in Indianapolis, follows: Dear Sir: A piece of Indianapolis, potentially, represents the Ideal condition of land situated at the end of an era of pioneer work, but at the beginning of an era of development. Since this development is on a substantial foundation, every advantage should be taken of the rich heritage with which the land Is endowed. The tangible values of a piece of Indianapolis speak for themselves, synonomous with investment sarety They are such that ownership is and security. Room for Expansion The intangible values make the reasons for its possession superior to land in other cities. The central location of Indianapolis, the case of communication with others, its religious life, educational and recreational facilities, the steady and permanent growth in population, and, above all, the sociability and neighborliness of its people, forming a helpful, friendly community, makes It a place worthy of settlement. The stage Is set for urban development, both in magnitude and for rapidity. In the city of Indianapolis room remains for expansion from horizon to horizon and no restriction exists in any direction. Betters Owner’s Condition . Land ownership Is desirable when it results in bettering the condition of its possessor. To own Indianapolis real estate is, in no way, a charitable or benevolent matter, and those who have confidence in its future development will have no

remorse about their lack of foresight. To Indianapolis real estate, nature extends mer cooperation. Situated between that part of the continent undergoing a period of emergence, and that portion undergoing submergence, there are no landslides to worry about, no earthquakes, no floods to inundate it, and infrequent windstorms always leave the land undisturbed. „ Since Indianapolis is a most desirable city in which to live, ownership of a piece of it results in that pride of possession which makes living a joy. City of Opportunity * ‘ ' Personal stability Is an asset and a mainspring to action. It increases in direct proportion to the interests you have in the community In which you live.

city of opportunity. So, If you know where you are, and want to stay, the best thing to do is to buy a piece of Indianapolis and defy anyone to put you off. The duties of citizenship demand that individual responsibility be assumed for the welfare of the community. To own real estate is the best manifestation. If you would repay the obligations of a good citizen of Indianapolis, in return for the benefits received, a deed to a piece of it is visible evidence. Words
