SKETCH OF PREHISTORIC NAN
Early Painting Proves That Thousands

Walked on Four Feet

The Paris Figaro gives an account
Of a recent remarkable discovery Of
paintings in q prehistoric cave Of
South France. In particular. a sketch
has been found Of q man who went
on al fours and possessed a tall. The
account runs. In part:
Count Begouen and his sons dis
covered on the walls Of the subterra-
mean galleries some engravings esti-
mated to be 5000 years old. and In
such quantity and variety that the ex-
traordInary ensemble Of prehistoric
art work constitutes. q veritable mu-
scum.
The animals figured In the cave are
considerable In number. and include
RENDERS, bisons, horses, both isolated
and In groups; bears. elephants and
rhinosceroses. The representation OF
feIines are very rare in prehistoric
art, but Nm. Begouen have photo
graphed In their cave q genuine lion.
executed in bas-relief They have made
out, also, several birds, including
swans and ducks. as well as three
predatory night flyers
"The human figure Is likewise repre-
scented In the cave. which, In recogni-
ton of the sons of Count Begouen, has
been baptized the Cave Of the Three
Brothers A silhouette Is particularly
remarkable, almost battling. II repre-
sents a man In motion-a man of pow
erful body, whose head and shoulders
are Joined by an enormous neck: a
man whose upper and lower limbs
and whose hands and feet are perfect

is prolonged in an exterior appendage
resembling that Of the anthropoids-a

ABOVE ROUND OF ROUTINE
Men who Do Things Are Not These
Who Have Their Nose Constantly
on Grindstone.

A certain vice president OF O great
railroad once remarked that he would
much rather have Ia his employ q train
dispatcher who had q cigar In his
mouth and his feet cooked up on
the desk than one who kept his nose
too closely to the grindstOne. As ne
had come ND through the ranks the
vice presidents opinion was seasoned
with accurate knowledge and expert
-ence. His theory was that the dis
patcher with his feet cooked up had
his road in better shape than the grind
stone exponent. and could figure out
the moves on the transportation chess
board better.
An Official of probably the largest
corporation In the world was reported
10 the head Of the corporation By Q
large stockholder as continually loaf
ing and looking out Of his Office win
low. The president assured the stock
holder that the man was not loahng
but thinking, and that his plans had
saved IN one year more than his salary
for twenty.

PRODUCERS OFFER
TERMS TO ACTORS
Suggest Arbitration Plan on
Basis Different From One
Proposed.
STAND BY OLD CONTRACT
Managers Meeting to Settle
Claims for Extra Perform
ances Through Umpire.

The Producing Managers Protective
Association. at meeting held yesterday
at the Hotel Astor. decided to agree to
arbitrate their differences with actors
over contracts. though not precisely in
the way In which such arbitration was
suggested by the Actors Equity Associa-
ton two weeks ago. The actors organi-
ration then proposed to the managers
that formal board should be appointed
within thirty days, who should mediate
on the question whether players should
receive extra pay for performing on
Sundays and holiday matinees.
The managers, In the proposition
which they directed their secretary, l..
Lawrence Weber, to rend in reply to
the actors proposal stated that they
would abide by the old standard con-
tract, under which such extra perform
ances received no added compensation,
but that In case Of objections by
either side each case was to be arbi-
trated individually. The actor and
manager in the dispute, the managers
stipulate. are each to appoint his own
arbitrator. with an umpire appointed In
turn by these two
o~sc'p mas Deen TO
make the eight-performance week the
standard. with overtime pay for every
thing above that. When the controversy
hrst arose the managers were under the
impression that the Actors Equity Asso-
Citation threatened, unless they obtained
thelr demands. to seek O CLOSED shop
IN the theatres. The actors body has
since disclaimed any intention to
threaten to unionize piayhouses In this
way.

ms the managers plan. addressed to
FRANK Gilmore. executive secretary of
the Actors Equity Association, fol-
Il am directed to say in reply to
your favor OF May 27 that the Pro-
ducing Managers Association has de-
cided to issue its own contract embodv-
ing all the terms and conditions of the
contract which has been so satisfactory
To actors and managers for the past two
years, with this one change: Should
any adherence between the actor and
manager arise arbitration is provided
whereby the actor and manager shall
appoint his own arbitrator and that
these two shall appoint a third"

ZION unanimously pledging to the Actors
