You find it engraved on primitive tools, dug up in the mounds of the Ohio, Tennessee and Mississippi mound-builders, who inhabited America before the Indians, i Swastika also is found in the most ancient ruins of Alaska, Mexico, Brazil, Babylonia, China, Japan, India, Assyria, Phoenicia, Persia, Tibet, Greece—and every other country in the world, including obscure islands. according to myth, carved the Swastika on the soles of his sandals, and statues of him often have their feet decorated to correspond. Swastika is the international symbol for good luck and general welfare—like our the negro’s rabbit-foot and the “chung-meng-fui-goi” sign that is painted on @oor of nearly every Chinese home. 7 8 8 Swastika’s origin is unknown.
