Masquerading
By Vincent Perry


Chester Hall carefully arranged his
skirts as he settled in the big comfort
able chair among the palms, took a
powder puff and mirror from his vanity
bag and cody powdered his nose.
After making quite sure that his hair
was on straight and his earrings were
not coming off, he put his neatly Slip
pered feet out, displaying more than a
foot of silk hose, and sat back, fam
ming himself conteptedly. Although
from all appearances he was the per-
sonification of serenity, Il fire of re-
sentiment burned within him. He was
an idiot to have allowed the boys to
persuade him to come to the maSquer-

interesting Relics of Stone Age

Fifteen human skeletons were I'M
earthed near Osaka, Japan. This Is
considered the birthplace of Japanese
civilization. OF the relics of the jap
anese stone age, discovered by Profess
sor Okushi, nine of the skeletons were
in perfect preservation, all bones be-
ing intact. 1t rarely happens, accord
ing to scientific records, that so many
perfect skeletons are discovered in one
place. Among indications that people
of that period lived on uncooked food
is the fact that upper and lower teeth
are evenly worn down. Decayed teeth
are not found. Some of these skeletons
stand seven feet high. Skeletons were
found In a lying position, with knees
drawn up. Without doubt, these peo-
pie belonged to the stone age in Japan
10000 years ago, at least. While
making the excavation, stone imple-
ments, earthenware and two copper ar
rowheads were found. It is thought
this find may establish link between
the stone and bronze ages In pre-
historic Japan. This discovery revo-
lutionizes archaeological theories of pre-
historic Japan-East and West News.

Liberty Statue on the south side OF

will permit pedestrians to pass
through it. 1t will almost cover the
central sections of the buildings and

avenue.
More than three and half tons OF
galvanized iron go into the making
of it. A carload Of lumber will be
used in the framework to back it up.
Not a nail will be driven or hole
bored in any part of the building to
hold up the figure. This seeming inn
possibility will be accomplished by
driving wedges into the crevices be-
tween the stones and by system of
cleats, bands and cables will insure
absolute stability.
The design shows soldiers leaving
a trench. The leading one has his
foot on the top. In practice this will
come just at the top of the arch lead

second soldier is getting footing to
follow his comrade. Back of him is
