ALPINE CAVE MAN WAS INTELLIGENT His Fight With Big Bear Proveq It Saint Gall, Switzerland, Dec. 10— (P—The “Cave Man of the Alps,” the intrepld hunter of a hundred thousand years ago, possessed. no small degree of intelligence when, armed with only his trusty club, he overpowered gigantic beasts in their own lair. Discoveries made by the party sent to Europe by the American school of prehistoric research, under the directon of Prof. George Grant MacCurdy of Yale university, have establshed’ that point. Clubs Only Weapons The primitive culture of the man who lived during the last inter- glaclal period in the rocky caverns of the mountains sometimes at an elevation of 2,450 meters above sea level is shown by the evidence that although forced to rely on clubs éx- clusively for hunting, he was not in- ferior to the Neanderthal man as a hunter. There was no flint in the re- gion in which he lived and he had to use inferior stone of very little serv- ice as far as providing weapons was concerned. His most common game was the huge cave bear. To modern man us- ing fircarms to bag much smaller animals, the performance of the pre- historic hunter against the creature is accepted as proof that the heavy skull of the early man covered a certaln amount of grey matter. Largely a Plant Eater The animal had started years be- fore as a normal sized bear, but the high mountain air or perhaps the food caused him to become far larger than the grizzly and about as big as the great Alaskan bears of to- day. His teeth were terrible in size and strength, yet he was largely a plant eater and with his wide, short and almost retrousse snout, his ex- traordinarily hign and straight fore- head, he must have had a curious- ly mild and open countenance, the scientists say. It seems likely to them that he would have remained a calm, philosophical beast had he been left undisturbed. The usual method of attack seems to have been hitting the bear with a wooden club on the base of the sensitive scout to stun him, then dis- patching him. A certain number ot the animals’ skulls show the noses crushed, usually on the left side, in- dicating that the hunters were pre- dominently right handed. Made Tools from ‘Bones Sometimes the wound was heal- ed and in such cases it remains an open question whether the hunter escaped his prey. Dodging an infuri- ated, wounded bear, the size of a thy ox, with nv other protection than a wooden club, or a handy stone, had the elements of exciting sport. The bear furnished not only food and clothing for the cave man but also a great number of tools. The bones, especfally the small bone of the leg below the knee, made useful implements, In fact, chamois hunt- ers in this vicinity today employ’ a similar bone in skinning their game. GATE_CRASHING AT THE STUDIO Becomes a Fine At in Movie Center Hollywood, Cal, Dec. 10 (M—A cat may look at a queen, but it is a tough proposition to get by the gatekeepers who guard the “‘queens” of movieland. Chosen because of their abllity to judge humans, and enforce judg- ment, the stolid studio gatemen halt would-be visitors” and turn them away If their business {3 not impera- tive and of interest to the studio. Producers and directors ‘say that if a single player is interrupted, the entire production is delayed. Every unit on the lot—electricians, camera- men, property men, assistants—must wait until all are ready to proceed. Also it has been observed that a visitors' gallery impairs the quality of the players’ work. Actors, they say, are incapable of doing their best while the curious eyes of strangers are upon them. Ofter Many Excuses Novel excuses are offered by those who would gain admittance to the studios. Many would like to talk to ‘their friends among the players, others clalm to be relatives of play- ers, while some assert they were college roommates of some of - the cast. Tmpersonation of famous charac- tors often is attempted. One appli- cant declared he was President Coolidge traveling. in disguise, while a girl nearly persuaded the doorman that she was a princess of Denmark. This self-styled scion of Danish no- hility, studio attaches say, presented documents printed in Danlsh to support her claim. A tiny union stamp of a Los Angeles printer, however, exploded her hopes.
