The worked fints have been submitted to expert

assigning them to the paleolithc period, or, at
any rate, to the time of transition between that
and the neolithic age which would place their
age at some $4,000 years. Geological evidence,
however. dates them still further back, for the

AT first sight the finding of human skeleton
strangely like the human skeleton of the pres
ent day-some six or seven feet below the sur
face does not appear an epoch-making event. but
when the conditions under which 1t was found
are carefully considered 1t is just this striking
similarity to the living type that renders the
Halling man SO interesting and valuable. An
array of details has been unearthed which assures
the investigators that they have here the remains
of an individual who long preceded the builders
of Stonehenge, man who dates back at least
to what is vaguely known the early neolithic
period but who more probably lived his strenu-
GUS life under the severe conditions obtaining
towards the end OF the paleolithic age. warning
with the mammoth. the woolly rhnoceros and
other aggressive creatures of the pleistocene.
The famous skull discovered by Mr.. Charles
Dawson in the Weald of Sussex last year belongs

materials for much later chapter-the one CIV

TIPS FOR THE TIRED.

During the season of much laundry
work have the bath towels all OF
Turkish toweling. SO that there may
be no ironing. Underwear of knit
ted goods, seersucker or crepe. Night
dresses can be bought of seersucker
which need no ironing.
Work dresses of seersucker are an
other saving in ironing.
Use a fireless cooker to save the
heat and expense as we'll as the
time of overseeing the cooking.
Have picnic meals sometimes: break
away from the iron-clad rules and en-
Joy the summer weather.
Do the hard and warm work early
in the day. It is wonderful the
amount of work that can be done in
an hour before other people are inter
.rupting.
Hunt up those books that you prom
ised yourself you would read. go to
the woods. u you can. II not, to
shady nook and take an hour or two
Of quiet.
In these days of nervous break
be greatly lessened IL a day or an
hour once in a while can be taken in
quiet. where one can get acquainted
with ones own ideas and not lose all
individuality. These frazzled nerves
must have repose. For the woman
who has too much solitude, society Is
the remedy; seeing people and broad
ening ones views by conversation, not
gossip.
Somebody has said that there are
three classes Of people, those who talk
about people. those that talk about
things, and those who discuss ideas;
the last. of course. is the highest form
of culture. Let US watch our conver-
sation and see that we are not in the
lowest class.

lars. 1t is something to work for and
nobody has succeeded in coaXing her

THE DEsPICABLE COCKTAIL
Leader,

When the colonel first announced some
months ago that he had never drunk a
cocktail or a high ball. 1t was the fash
ion In clubdom to laugh derisively. What.
A cosmopolite such as he, the most trav-
eled and most dined man alive, and never
solitary cocktail!
Good little joke of the colonel's, said a
whole lot of folks whose own lives would
be unhappy without these insidious mix
lures of things intoxicating. Those who
knew the colonel best, however, were sure
that he never had drunk a cocktail But
we cannot award medal to him for that.
Take census of all the worlds great
men, OF whom he is one. and you will dis
cover that only trifing minority ever
even heard of cocktail. The invention
of a barroom genius Is Of modern birth.
1t doesn't reach back even to the time our
fathers were hammering out a new gov
ernment. Washington never saw a cock
tail as we know them, but he was not an
abstainer. When Wellington and his off,
GERS met after Waterloo to dine they
didn't drink a toast in cocktails.
Just think of the millions Of men In our
own day who live in rural districts and
yet know no more about the difference
between Manhattan and a Bronx than
they do about the rings of Saturn. Hard
cider. yes, home brewed beer, little "red
liquor now and then, or Jersey apple
