TN THE long story OF spring and
L summer suits there are so many
interesting chapters dealing with suits
of unusual character, that the fashion
reporter is apt to forget those that are
plain and unpretentious. But these
are most useful and most important
While anyone may manage TO get
along without an elaborate or formal
suit-f she must-the palmer street

pecially as 1t contrives 20 be as smart
as its dressler kindred and by More
subtle means. 1t has arrived, in the
company Of others more pretentious,
for summer time and all of them en-
tice the fashion writer to begin over
again In writing the story OF suits.
Among formal suits there are those
that consist Of a one-piece dress with
coat to match, In which bodice of
foulard or crepe de chine or other
material is Joined to a cloth skirt.

Prehistoric Instruments Indicate

New York-That the Indians Of pre-
historic Peru knew the art-or should
we say science?-of Jazz" is apparent
from the decorations, representing
orchestras and dancers, found on
the ancient pottery and metal objects
Of the region. Further evidence is
furnished by accounts Of early
writers, and, most convincing, by
Rtmbers of the musical instruments
themselves which have been rec0v-
cred from graves and ruins by
Psychologists. These instruments In
clude drums, bells, cymbals, rattles,
pipes, flutes, whistles. trumpets and
an unmistakable ancestor Of the oboe.
Il the activities of an energetic Indian
orchestra, equipped with some or all
of these instruments did not produce
something akin to present-day jazz,
the writer is guilty of an error In
Judgment.
Undoubtedly, early man sang and
danced before he produced instru-
mental music. As the most import.
ant element of the song and dance
is rhythm, and as In singing and
dancing desire for some sound to
clearly indicate the rhythm seems to
be universal, primitive vocalIsts and
terpischoreans everywhere have found
assistance In the swapping of fingers,
clapping of hands, beating of hips
and stamping of feet. Then. probably,
the drum was devised-the first
musical Instrument. The allied instru-
ments of percussion, as cymbals,
rattles and bells soon followed.
Wind instruments.
Later came the wind instruments,

ca, rather than Africa, must have been
their favorite hunting grounds. Scien-
fists state that during that period
over the same plains which these ele-
plants roamed numerous other long
extinct animals, whose descendants
now live In such distant places as In
dia or Central Africa. were living In
abundance.
"As the storms and waves grad
ually eat away the gravelly bank of
the bay at San Leon the remains of
camels, extinct horses and perhaps
other prehistoric animals will be
brought TO view, thus furnishing ma

Gigantic Beast and May Have
Lived 100000 Years Ago,
Says Biologist.
SKELETON is DISCOVERED
Fact That Tusks Are More Than IL
Feet Long, Indicates the Great
Size OF the Paehyderm--
Probably Killed by Tiger.

San Leon, Texas.-positive proof
that elephants of gigantic size, with
bodies probably covered with long
hair, once roamed the coastal plains
Of Texas has been obtained by the
unearthing here of the skeletons Of
one of these prehistoric animals. The
period of its life dates back anywhere
from 100000 TO 100000 years, ac-
cording to II. c. Chandler, assistant
professor of biology in Rice Institute
of Houston, who assisted in removing
the remains from the hard bed Of
sand and gravel.
1t will take some time to recon-
struct the bones and form the skele-
ton as 1t originally existed, and until
this is done measurements cannot be
accurately taken. The fact, however,
that the tusks are each more than II
feet long indicates the great size of
the pachyderm.
Scientists Speculation.
Lie ShtlelOH was ulSCONClCu W LIZ
I. Roy of Houston, who called Mr..
Chandler to his assistance in unearth-
ing it. In speaking of the discovery
Mr.. Chandler said:
Before Noah collected his animals
In the ark and before Adam and Eve
ate the disastrous apple in the Garden
of Eden this beast, perhaps attacked
by a murderous saber toothed tiger,
q huge beast which also roamed
through North America at that time,
laid his great carcass down on the
sands of the beach and died. The
seabirds of that ancient time, no
doubt, dined sumptuously for many
weeks on his great body, and what
was left by them was picked by the
microscopic animals Of the bay.
"The waves of the ancient bay rip
pied over the bones of the fallen mon
arch, carrying sand and gravel, until
finally the entire skeleton was buried
deep under a mass of debris.
Centuries passed and the land
slowly raised to its present level,
some ten feet above the water level.
Year by year the waves Tapped con-
tinuously against the bank. eating 1t
away, until finally tooth was
brought to view, probably some 5OO,-
600 years after 1t had been dropped
from the jaws of the great beast.
A Hunting Ground.
"There are many who, while admit
ting the evidence of their eyes that
an elephant did live and die on the
shores of Texas, will question state
ments of scientists as to the great ex-
panse of time since the animal ex-
listed.
mo very accurate estimate can be
made, 1t is true, but that 1t exceeds
100000 years and may approach L.
100000 years there is no doubt in the
mind of any person who has made a
study of the past life on the earth.
Such estimates are based on the time
required to deposit sedlmentary rock,
to erode valleys and to wear away
rocks. No one could judge the age
of this particular specimen alone, but
its age is estimated on the known
occurrence of the animal In company
with other animals in rocks or depos-
its where the age can be roughly es-
timated and its absence In deposits
which are of more recent date.

Claim Sleep Sickness
Germ Has Been Isolated

Milwaukee.-What is claimed
by scientists to be the first com
plete isolation of the germ OF
sleeping sickness was announced
here by DR.. William Thalhimer
of Milwaukee, who, in conjunc-
ton with a number of physi-
clans, conducted a clinic of q
years duration at the Columbia
hospital.
The results of the clinic. II
was announced, showed that a
minute organism was RESPONSE
BILE for the dread disease, and
that the physicians had been
able to completely isolate and
propagate the microbe.
1t is believed that a cure for
the disease may result from the
experiments, though this Is not
yet claimed by the Milwaukee
doctors.
The scientists are at work
now on the preparation of a
serum TO combat the disease.

of pipes and horns. And finally, the
more complex stringed instrument
was developed. The greatest single
step forward In the history Of in
strumental music was the mechanical
production of a musical scale. This
came with the pipes. In Peru, eyi-
dence is found of the first two types
instruments of percussion and wind
instruments-bu so far nothing has
been found to indicate that the pre-
historic Indians Of the region knew
how to make music from the yibra-
lions of strings.
In the American Museum of Nat
ural History in New York City there
is large collection Of prehistoric
musical instruments of Peru. They
have been carefully studied by
Charles w. Mead, Assistant Curator.
of the Department Of Anthropology,
whose findings have been published
In a short paper. According to Mead,
no drums have been found In ancient
Peruvian graves. This may be for
the reason, he believes, either that
the drums Of the time, being made Of
perishable material have all disinte-
grated, or that because of some SUI
pcrstition 1t was not customary to
bury drums with the dead. Drums,
however, were pictured by the native
artists Of the time and described by
early writer's, the evidence showing
that they were identical In kind with
the drums used to-day in several parts
of Peru. They were made of skin
stretched over hoop Of wood or over
one end of short section of q tree
trunk followed out to a thin cylinder.
Small drums seem to have been the
rule. The drum heads were usually
made of the skins of deer and other
animals common to the country.

to realize their shortcomings TO at

that In some instruments attempts to
correct the scale have been made; the

holes. Moreover, II Is to be re-
