CLAIM 9 CITIES iREFLECT LIQUOR IBACKINCIN U. S. W. C. T. U. Surveys Show Nine States Create Antij Dry Bills in Congress. BY RAY TUCKER , WASHINGTON. April 20.—Wet ' sentiments as reflected in anti-pro-hibition bills now before Congress is confined to nine cities in nine States, according to an analysis of legislation made by Mrs. Ella A. Boole of New York, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The fifty-nine wet measures introduced at this session, she found, come from three Senators and twenty-six Representatives residing in such places as New Y'ork, Newark, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis and St. Paul. She might also have added that the wet blob has made no attempt to press the bills in committee, and except for one fight against use of wood alcohol in denaturing industrial alcohol, has spoken softly on repeal or modification. Thirty-one of the fifty-nine bills, according to Mrs. Boole, were sponsored by members from New York City and its New Jersey environs. She declared that nine Democrats and one Republican from the metropolis introduced twenty-one bills and the other New York measure was presented by a Buffalo Congressman. “Seventy-five per cent of all wet legislation,” she asserted, ‘‘comes from the cities of New York and St. Louis anfi the States of Wis-

Chie for Darwin By Science Service PHILADELPHIA, April 20. Man owes his present .proudly erect position to a long line of tree-dwelling ancestors. Brachiation, which means pulling one's self about among the branches, is the only way in which • the spinal column could have gained an upright position, declared Di\ William K. Gregory of the American Museum of Natural History, speaking here today before the meeting of the American Philosophical Society. A series of the upper arm bones of primitice mammals, lemurs, monkeys and apes, shows increasing resemblance to the corresponding bone in the human arm, he stated, and there are many further details of structure, especially in the hand and foot of man, that indicate a former tree-dwell-ing mode of life.
