But the pygmies beautifytheir bodies with scars from self-inflicted wounds.Most of the food supply comes fromhunting, and all the members of apygmy settlement share alike, no mat¬ter who kills the game. Their societyis almost entirely communistic with¬out private property or ownership ofland.They are very low in the scale evenof primitive peoples, according to thelecturer, who cited the Palawan tribleto illustrate the definite facts whichmodern sciences has been able to learnabout the infancy of the human race.

Breasted,noted Egyptologist, have been classi¬fied in a study made for the depart¬ment of anthropology by Miss LouiseCross and have been found to dateback at least to the palaeolithic erafrom 50,000 to 100.000 years ago.Dr. Breasted’s discovery of theseflints was one of the things leading tobis request to the General EducationBoard of New York for additionalfunds with which to carry on excava¬tions in the caverns of the Nile to de¬termine the chronological sequenceand parallel development of prehistoricman in Egypt. Miss Cross’s work isthe first effort made at the Universityof Chicago to record evidence of pre¬historic craftsmanship from the The-New Chute StopsMaiming of BooksAt Harper E-llE-ll books will have better care,will be rebound less often and will bein better condition generally in con¬sequence of the enlarged chute for thereturn of books which was just com¬pleted, according to Mr. E. A. Henry,head of the Readers’ department ofthe University libraries.The improved return chute was builtto facilitate handling books on thepart both of students and library em¬ployees. With the old return system,no more than about a dozen bookscould be placed iu the chute at thesame time, said Mr. Henry. A pass¬ing student, in a hurry to get hisbook back on time, would thrust itagainst the line already filling theopening and this final push would beenough to break the binding of sev¬eral of the books. Some of the smallerand lighter books would fall to thefloor because nothing had been con¬structed to keep them on "the table atthe base of the chute.Four times as many books may nowbe accommodated by the remodeledchute. This, said Mr. Henry, meansless harsh treatment for them, and apreservation of the bindings. A rail¬ing has also been built to preventboojes from falling from the table ifthey have been thrown down with toomuch force. ban heights.Louise Cross Makes AnalysisBy comparison with findings of Eu-ropean archeologists and study of thevarious types of flint in the collection.Miss Cross lias been able to concludethat the University’s collection “showsat least some upper palaeolithic as wellas undoubted lower palaeolithic char¬acteristics.” and that “it is of extremeantiquity.” Moreover, marked similar¬ity has been found between the Egyp¬tian flints and those discovered in Eu¬rope by scholars in Continental fields.The former have characteristics iden¬tical with those of the European Cliel-lean, and Moustercian epochs.Miss Cross continues: “In EgyptDr. Breasted has gone over the avail¬able materialj and has published theresults in his articles on ‘Origins ofCivilization’. The same flints were evi¬dently washed down from the heightsand deposited before the Nile beganto fall in its level and to develop fromthe lacarstrine stage into river withsufficient current for cutting dowy thepresent river terraces. They are em¬bedded in great numbers in the rockof the upper river terraces, which washard enough in the Eleventh dynasty(2160 to 2000 R. C.), to he excavatedfor tombs.Flints Indicative of Culture“Even if the cutting did not occuruntil the second interglacial period ofEurope—based on prabable relationsbetween the pluvial of Africa and theglacial of Europe—these flints are con¬siderably older, and must antedateany certain dating of European arti¬facts.ELECT EIGHT WOMENTO MAROON STAFF Experiment UponMaroon * AthletesWith Violet RayCollege football like ultra-modernwars may be waged in the laboratorywith the aid of test tubes and micro¬scopes, if the highly unique ideas buzzing in the brain of Simon Benson, newUniversity athletic trainer, work outinto facts. Benson, who in additionto his capacities as a guide to Maroonathletes, has the added distinction ofbeng a chemist, plans to work outsome of his theories in thv. trainingquarters.He is interested mainly in the actionof ultra-violet rays on the human bodyand he intends to find out exactly howthe?' work and why. He intends tostudy the treatment he gives the Ma¬roon warrior with the ultra-violet rayequipment in Bartlett gymnasium andthen report his findings to the chem¬istry laboratory. Wherever the resultshold possibilities of improving the con¬dition of the body, they will he appliedto the athlete. Thus both pure scienceand applied science will benefit, Ben¬son points out.“Many of the beneficial effects ofultra-violet rays are known to science,hut there is much to he uncovered,”says Benson. “The training quarterswhere individuals are treated dailywith therapeutic light afford an excel¬lent laboratory in which to carry on in¬vestigations. I am interested specifi¬cally in the action of light on food;to what extent it will produce vita-mtits and so forth.“If the studies turn out successfully(and all scientific matters are extreme¬ly problematical), we shall attempt toapply what we have learned to athletictraining, thereby allowing athletes tobenefit from the theoretical problemsof pure science, and as light ha,s beenshown to have a very pronounced ef¬fect on certain foods, it is obvious thatthe two subjects have a very definiterelationship and that one can supple¬ment the other.”It is believed that Benson is thefirst theoretical scientist to be addedto a university athletic staff. He con¬troverts the popular notion that train¬ing quarters ate habituated by roughand ready gentlemen who wear ironhats and jerseys and who know asmuch about anatomy as Babe Ruthor Harrv Wills. FROSH HEATEDLYDISCUSS FORCEDM. S. IN FORUMCompulsory military training atthe University of Chicago was theproposition which precipitated aheated discussion at a meeting ofthe Freshman Forum in Cobb hallyesterday afternoon. The prepon¬derance of opinion among thosewho spoke was opposed to such asystem.Those who favored military train¬ing advocated it as a defense againstpossible attack, an opinion whichwas opposed hv the argument thatsuch prepardness will encouragewar. and that the means to insureagainst future conflicts is to avoidarmaments.Those who spoke generally con¬ceded that there are other nationsin the world with greater arma¬ments than the United States, hutthose opposed to military trainingdeclared that this nation is in nodanger of attack, and should not in¬crease its prepardness by compul¬sory training.The discussion wandered from di¬rectly local consideration of thesubject, and centered rather aboutthe proposition of military trainingand prepardness in general.Select RecipientsOf Henry Strong -Scholarship AwardThree sophomore women have beenelected to the staff of The Daily Ma¬roon as sophomore editors.

Wilkins is con¬fined at the Presbyterian hospitalas a result of overwork and thoughaccording to his physicians his con¬dition is not critical, it is thoughtthat he will not be able to resumefull duties as dean of the colleges.“T hope to resume my teachingduties next week,” Mr. Wilkinssaid last night, “but it probably willnot be possible for me to resumemy full duties as d^an.”During Mr. Wilkins’ illness, As¬sociate Dean Qiauncey S. Boucheris taking his place and will tempor¬arily at least relieve Dean Wilkinsof some of his duties after the lat¬ter’s return.“Mr. Wilkins is suffering froma local disorder. In addition he issubject to a nervous condition whichis not at all serious,” was the state¬ment given out last night by Dr.Herman Louis Kretschmer, hisphysician. “We are looking to aspeedy convalescence and his returnto work in about a week.”This is the third year that Mr.Wilkins has served as Dean of theColleges of the Arts.

Immediately, we hear achorus of protests. The freshman objects to another emblem of ap¬prenticeship. The senior considers such an insignia as an insult tohsi years. As for the second and third year classes, when they thinkabout the matter at all, it is evident that they prefer to continue theircollegiate careers without any outward sign of their in-between■jfstatus.These very students, however, join vociferously in the generalcry that our University has no spirit. They seem to forget that“school spirit’ is the result of ’’class spirit, and they refuse to givetheir co-operation in order that the latter may exist. They are nowbeing offered a unique opportunity to show the world that our schoolhas spirit. They are asked by the student council to wear headgear jthat is interesting, in order that the campus may take on a brightand interesting appearance. They refuse, naturally.You upper-classmen who pride yourselves on being the leadersof the University, take the initiative in this toeque-wearing campaign.If you consider such an act beneath your mighty dignity, forget fora few weeks that you are dignified, and get into the spirit of thething. If everybody wears a class toeque than nobody will feel con¬spicuous, except, perhaps, the few who do not wear them. Thetoeques will make their appearances within a few days. Let us ex¬pect to see freshman, sophomoer, junior and senior wearing his classinsignia.THE FROSH ARE WEAKAS the fraternity initiation season comes around again it becomesnecessary to Consider the advantages or disadvantages of in¬itiation stunts for the Greek freshmen. There are certain antics thatare traditional in many fraternities and are perpetuated only for thetraditional value. If the stunts are in no way injurious to the healthof the participant they may well be retained. It is the twenty-miletramp through the snow and the merciless pounding of flesh thatmust be denounced.“The spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak. There are fewmen who having made fraternity associations will not go throughmental and physical torture for the privilege of wearing the insignia.Is hazing a prerequisite to membership in a Greek society? If so thefraternity misses the great fundamental of association; the training ofleaders.Over-severe stunts make the freshman lose time in his studies,either through loss of sleep or absence from class. There is also thepossibility of impairment of health—as by colds and their complica¬tions. The fraternity can afford neither. Leniency will react to theadvantage of the fraternity and the University as well. Fraternitieswill do well to consider the problem.MMiiiHimitniiimiiiiHiMiiuinHiinimiiiHJtiuiimiiiKutroiiHiHiiiciiiiiiMimiiHiiiHiiHiHtaiiiiiiiiiimttiniiuiiiiwiMiiHiMiittiniiHiuiiiHimiimmiMiimimiMiHHiHHMtiiMnHiiutHimimiuni'inxMi| Kenwood Club Tea Rooms1363 EAST 47th STREETKenwood Club BuildingLUNCHEON 50 CENTS DINNER 75 CENTSSpecial Sunday Dinners $1.00Special Holiday Dinners $1.50Served from 12 to 8 P.

But whatof scarlet fever?That disease, which has had suchravages especially among children, of¬ten leaving serious traces in non-fatalcases, is in a fair way to be broughtunder control, thanks to the work oftwo 'Chicago bacteriologists, Dr.George F. and Gladys Dick. Workingin the John McCormick Memorial institute of Infectious Diseases, whichis affiliated with the University, thispair of scientists first identified thej scarlet fever germ, then developed an| immunizing method, and finallyj worked out an antitoxin. Their work, has received the recognition of scieni tific authorities. The antitoxin is ofJ proved benefit, and the extension ofits use. Dr. Jordan said, promises torob scarlet fever of its terrors in thesame way that diphtheria has beenvirtually conquered.“Other diseases,” said Dr. Jordan,“such as influenza, pneumonia, cancer,and the common colds are not yetconquered or even fully understood,but it is reasonably certain that thepatient work in laboratories going onall over the world will eventually leadto the discovery of methods of preven¬tion.
