Trap

n ToTHING could offer a more curl
IN Gus contrast than the accom-
panying Illustrations, showing
how an old Stone Man caught a nam
moth and how a modern Solomon Isl
ander catches a fish.
The man Of the old Stone Age, 1O0,-
600 years OF more ago, lured his gi-
gantic prey into a trap roughly con
ceaied with tree trunks, and then, with
the help Of his tribe, beat the huge
brute to death with great clubs and
rocks.
The Solomon Islander has found the
fish in his neighborhood grown 50
wary from generations OF experience
that he can catch them only with a
delicate spiders web. The Islander
goes out in his canoe flying his kite,
from the tail Of which hangs a string.
TO the end Of which Is a cObweb which
trails in the water. The Garfish
which is a favOrite food Of the Solomon
Islanders, swims along with project
ing under jaw and long teeth, and gets
them eltangled in the cObweb and goes
home to the cooking pot
In these two pictures the story OF
human progress is pleasantly told. Az
the world grows older the game grows
smaller and harder to catch.
We sometimes think that life must
have been uncomfortable when huge
monsters like the mammoth roamed
the earth, but really these creatures
were quite at the mercy Of the agile,
resourcefuI wild man.
The fact that mammoths abounded
did not alarm prehistoric man. but
rejoiced him, for it meant plenty Of
meat He could not complain that
provisions were dear.
To-day man has to use stratagems
artificial weapons-brains, in fact-to
catch his game The average Amer
lean citizen has a harder time even
than the Solomon Islander in securing
his food The savage can at least com
bine sport with his quest for provi-
sions. The only sport within the reach
Of many Americans is hunting the mos
quito, and that is not nOurishing.

Revision of Ordinance Asked For In
Order to Relieve Congestion
OF Traffic

OAKLAND, July 29.-Business men
who make a practice of leaving autos
standing in front of downtown office
buildings all day, seriously interferip z
with the transaction of business by the
ground floor merchants, were scored
this morning by Chief of Police Peter
sen during the hearing of protest
made by Oakland council, Brotherhood
of Teamsters, against the present traf-
fc ordinance
G.. Hs Johanson. speaking for the
teamsters, said that often shipments OF
merchandise could not be delivered
owing to the blockade of automobiles
along the streets and that merchants
were compelled to wheel their goods in
trucks for block before finding a
place where a wagon could back up.
Recent arrests of teamsters for vio-
lation of the traffic ordinance was due
to this congestion of automobiles, as
serted Johanson.
The ordinance was referred to Conn
missioner w. J. Baccus and Chief Peter
sen for revision.
