(GOBI DESERT HAS GIVEN UP SECRETS Andrews Expedition Delves Tnto Dim Past Peking. Aug. 18.—(P—>Men armed with weapons of stone and women adorned with the spoils of the hunt lived 20,000 years ago in what is now the Gobi desert, relics discover- ed by the Central Asiatic expendition led by Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews indicate. Thousands of relics showed the numerous phases of the stone age culture to which these dune dwellers had attained. Trace of human beings dating back 150,00 years have been found previously in the same district. “These people were wonderfully clever,” Dr. Andrews said. “They lived apparently in a transition period between the old and new stone ages. The countryside was saturated with people and they hunt- ed and Jished in the lakes and streams and built shelters on the dunes of skins, bark and timbers. {There are great areas of traces of these people, who lived thereabouts for thousands of years.” At the time they lived in the area it was a fertile land with t and lakes and plentiful annual rainfall. Crude implements showed that man was beginning to reach with 'stone results which formerly accom- plished solely with hands. Bone Andicated the race subsisted chie on bird and frogs. There were trace of a breed of horses and asses in- dicating that they used beasts of burden. Women teeth and fingers or in weapons, the men and arrow and sp and agate. They stone drills. Brigands and sandstorms wera the chief obst to the expedition. Brigands beset the explorers early in their drive westward from K n. The maurauders appeared in the guise of friendly soldicrs and invited the expediton to tea, but the ruse did not work for when the motorized caravan rolled up to the spot select- ed by the brigands, the chauffeurs were speeding the automobiles up and every man that had his | s free grasped a rifle. The marauders mounted horses and gave chase, but were quickly outdistances Sand came more arly to halting the expedition than the brigands Dr. Andrews said the weather was the worst he ever encountered. the party was b and night for six we nd storms, the fine, flinty grains penetrating the trghtest wrappings and most closciy fitted cases.
