FIRST MINE ACCIDENT KNOWN
Skeletons Of Prehistoric Race Found
Under Rocks That Fell
Ages Ago.

One of the first mine accidents or
record has just been revealed at Ara
mon, In Spain. Here was a copper
mine. worked by prehistoric man, moi
without some display of science.
Instead of the usual horizontal en-.
trance from the side of the hill, per.
pendicular shafts were sunk. several
yards deep, TO reach the veins of
metal. Then narrow passages were
dug out following the veins.
But these miners of the stone age
had not advanced to the extent of
knowing how to place props along the
workings. and cave-in killed fifteen
men, Several of the skeletons were
lying under blocks Of stone, and one
miner still grasped his stone axe, just
as he falling roof caught him, no one
knows how many tens or hundreds OF
thousands of years ago.
These prehistoric workmen OF I'M
known race used stone axes and picks
made OF horns OF animals They
worked by the light of pine-knot
torches, stuck to the walls by Jumps
Of mud.
They were tall men, and must have
been muscular to be able to use such
heavy tools. but must have been very
slim, since the passages were very
narrow.
One curious fact about them is re-
7ealed by the finger prints, still re-
in the clay; the thumb was
learly twice as large as in modern
nan.
All of which information has been |
preserved by the fall of rock which |
ealed up this tomb IN the dim past.

And into selfish scroll it curled

"NO breeze in the forest can blow me down.
But it few, in a gale from its slender shelf
The name of the little leaf was Self
The big leaf lived in riotous JOY,
And played with the wind like a happy boy

things that she doesn't need nor
want. He can't see what conso-
lation there can possibly be in three
yards of lace insertion.
But the wise man realizes that
in some occult fashion, beyond the
grasp of the male mind, shopping
does take the place of other dissi-
patton to a woman, that it is a sa-
cred JOY to her, so he lets it go at
that, and doesn't interfere with her
happiness by intruding his unsym-
pathetic presence at her buying or
gies.
He knows that when a woman
goes shopping she doesn't want
any carping, critical man along.
She wants to be free to give her
soul up to an ecstasy of chiffons.
Therefore, proper husband with
the right sort of feeling about him,
hastens forth to his business to
make the money to pay for the
bargains, while wife goes forth in
search of them. Thus is a happy
division of labor accomplished. and
the dove of peace continues to roost
on the family roof tree.
AS for the man who BUYS his
wife's clothes, anathema to his
name. Divorce is too good for
him. There should be some nun
ishment, such as letting his wife
pick out his neckties and select
his cigars, devised as a penalty
for his crime.
Passing over the fact that most
men are color blind. and have no
sense of suitability, and that they
generally get to like a fashion
about the time women quit wearing
it. what shall be said of the heart
lessness of a husband who deprives
his wife of the pleasure of max
ing 40 trips to the stores while she
halts and hesitates between ele-
plants breadth satin and peau de
cynge? We stand appalled, before
such depravity.
No. Men have no place in milli-
merry shops and department stores.
except behind the counter. They
have no business going shopping
with their wives. Let them stay in
their own sphere. and make the
money to pay for the shopping
ticket. That's enough to hold them
for a while.

A Cause for Divorce

And right she is, too. There are
cruel and inhuman punishments
that no man has a right to inflict
upon his helpless and defenseless
wife, and having him tag along
with her when she goes forth to a
department store heads the list of
crimes against feminine peace and
happiness. No woman could be
expected to stand such a thing. No
woman viii. Even a female worm
will turn when so trodden upon.
A woman who has the misfOr-
tune to be married to a husband
who will go shopping with her,
should be granted a divorce on the
general ground that any man who
will go shopping with his wife, ex-
cept under compulsion, is not a
man, anyway. He is a strange
psychological freak. and she would
have no trouble in proving in any
court that he was afflicted with eN-
aggerated ego, maniac Oppressive

No Man Can Foresee
Final Achievement.

The whole science of electricity
has been born, practically, within
our own time, and no man can say
what the final achievement Of the
electrician will be.
Electricity is a phenomenon, just
as the spirit that animates a man
is a phenomenon.
Electricity is a form of attrac-
tion and repulsion; of give and
take; of absorption and dissipation.
Electricity seems to fill the con-
