London.—“T h e evidence that man is evolved from a common ancestor with the anthropoid ape is now complete,’ says Professor Sir Arthur Keith, consevator of the Royal College of Surgenos and one of the world’s greatest an thropolists. In this phrase he sums up the present position of science in re gard to Darwin’s theory of man’s descent. Sir Arthur Keith will give, this summer, at Leeds his Presidential address to the British association on “Darwin’s Theory of Man’s Descent” as it stands today. “My conclusion,” he says, ‘will be wholly in support of Darwin, and I shall go into greater detail. We are writing the history of man in a new way; Darwin book was the beginning. “We cannot yet say why the hu man stock has budded into the in telligent being that is man today, or why the poor anthropoid ape should have remained so low down the scale. Neither do we know anything about the beginning of life or its end. “Scientists all over the^ world are working at this great task of compiling man’s history. Profes sor Nuttall has shown us that the chimpanzee’s blood and that of other anthropoid apes gives ex actly the same reaction as human blood. This happens with the blood of no other animal. We know, too, that certain human di seases will also attack the antho poid. Ov/ work for the most part is in terms of thousands of years.’ blind girl graduates FROM SCHOOL OF MUSIC WITH HIGHEST HONORS (By International News Service.)

WEBB THEATRE ADVERTISE IN THE STAR — IT PAYS. TOO SATISFIED We are all different in the way we do things. Some people jump out of bed the second they open their eyes; others get up ten minutes after the alarm has gone off; others have to be called three or four times and then aren’t wide-awaye until after break fast. But just the same every one has to get up. If he stays in bed, he misses the fun in life and soon becomes an actual in valid. That is Nature’s punishment for being “too satisfied with the present pleasure.’’ Banking money is pretty much the same way. Some people do it easily; some have to force themselves. But we all have to put money aside or we end up as “charity patients.” Wc invite you to bank your money in this bank. First National Bank SHELBY, N. G. Resources Over Four Million Dollars.
