DISCOVERIES PROVE STONE AGE IN-CHINA Scientist Finds in Cave Arrow- heads, Axes, Bone Awls and Oth- er Objects Not of Metal. From the Detroit News. Discoveries made in China by J. G. Anderson, a Swedish scientist, estab- lish in his belief that China had a stone age. At Fengtien, an expedition headed by Prof. Anderson excavated a cave about eight by thirteen feet. In it were found bones from about forty human bodies and a large number of_objects, none of which was metal. The objects included arrowheads, stone axes, bone awls, curious stone rings and & tiny piece of animal sculpture made of marble, fragments of remarkable vessels, some with pressed geometrical patterns and others with a polished red surface, ornamented boldly with black. Prof. Anderson dates the cave to the transition between the stone age and the bronze age, or about 2000~ 1500 B. C. Heretofore leading ex- perts on Chinese history have held that there was no evidence of a stone age in China. Safety First. From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

In his bus‘ness he will unemotionally beat a man up for a reasonable fee or will procure a killing. One does not talk about these matters. For that mat- ter, one does not press a grocer in his hours of relaxation to talk about gro- ceries. Yet he has a conscience. “T told the Baronet he was too hard on his women,” said my friend the gunman. ‘That's why he tried to knife me." The gunman said this slight dif- ference had been healed over. They could not afford to quarrel. “But he'd better not try it again,” he said, grimly. The Baronet is an HEnglishman. That he is of good family and had a good education is evident. He is also for romance. She met the Baronet through her son, W ad also fought in France. No son ever did a mother greater harm. “He calls har u; and bawls her out, “He treats her like a dog. any of my business, but I hate ‘to hear him do it. That's why we quar- reled.” She is a dope now, poor, little wom- an. She hunts up the Baronet in the rotten-genteel dives he frequents and gives him money. The alternation is an unvarying one. Bullying re- proaches. Tears. Money. A few days of contemptuous toleration. Then curses. on the telephone ald the gunman. “She asked him .not to hit her in the face” said the gunman. “She said it was too hard to explain the bruises to her husband.” The Baronet has a string of such women. cinate these fading, soft, neglected women. He has a car and a chauf- feur. When he needs money he has but to telephone one of them. There perhaps the most dangerous man— one of the most dangerous men—in a town filled with dangerous men. Tall, blonde, well dressed, of an athletic type. One wonders what his history may have been. His hard blue eves are always on the alert. He im- presses one as being always ready to spring. “A dope.” said the gunman. Other men of this expatriate's sort are confidence men, card-sbarps, bor- rowers. They are on the lookout for marriageable monhey. The Baronet specializes in middle-sged women. 2 makes ‘em belisve he loves the gunman. ‘Its a There was one nice little woman he met when he came back from the war.

She was the wife of a big man, “down- town,” sedate, pretty ip a flustered are scores of such men in town Moll-buszing has always been a profitable branch of crime, but it is being worked to an extent here and now that has, perhaps, never been known before. Some men prefer to spot a woman who displays jewelry in a cabaret and rob her by force. But this at the best is but a momentary alleviation of financial stress. The Baronet’s plan provides an income. Yet he fought well. He has a deco- ration for gallantry in action, though no one will ever know under what name it was issued. Only once he displayed it, and that was when he had been emotionally drunk for days. He has stared down references to it since, and his hard, savage eyes are difficult for even the gunman to meet. We're an odd lot, we humans. My friend the gunman will procure mur- der cheerfully. But the Baronet is almost more than he can stand. His brutality seems to fas-- The Chief End of Brains. Prom the Youths' Companion. A member of Congress, a new man, and, therefore, not widely known jn Washington, found himselt one day in the hands of a barber of the pro verbially talkative sort who was em- ployed in a Washington hostelry. “You have a large head, sir,” ob- sefved the barber, as he was trimming the locks of tke statesman. “It iu a good thing to have s large head, for a large head means a large brain, and a large brain is the most usefui thing a man can have, for it nourishes the roots of the hair. e The Silent Club is the name of a social organization in Los Angeles composed exclusively of women who are deaf.
