AMERICA IN THE STONE AGE
When Columbus Cams Few Of Its In
.habitants Knew the fU5e
Of Metals.

When Columbus landed at San SAL
vador, nearly all North America was
In the Stone age. The Mexicans were
using copper, and though they did not
alloy it to make bronze, they treated
the metal in way to make it fairly
good cutting material. A few Of the
northern tribes Of Indians either
worked copper or traded for it. But
the vast majority Of them used stone
and this ina continent richer than
any other in easily found and smelted
copper and iron. In northern Michi-
gan, copper mines were found with
blocks of ore separated from the bed
vein-yet the natives who hunted
around these mines used flint arrow
heads.
The stone implements and weapons
used by the Mohawk chief in the days
Of Columbus were not a whit better
than those used BY the Gro Magnon
people Of France ,25,O0O years ago.
Moreover, these ancient Frenchmen
seem to have arrived in that country
with theft culture full grown-which
means that it must have had a long,
slow development elsewhere, probably

the door, and he returned to Mrs.

piled:

seems to be Working'
In about Is minutes there was a
third ring and third peddler stood
at the door and softly said:

"Just as you say, old man," quietly
replied the peddler. IF have put you

When Mr.. Bowser returned to the
sitting room this time, he found Mrs.
Bowser trying hard to keep sober
face, and he shouted at her: ....>,
ooh, it's very funny, Is 1t? Well, I'll
show you whether it's funny or not |!
If another peddler calls, he shall die
right on our door step!' -.
No other peddler called. After a
lapse of few minutes the telephone
bell rang, and Mr.. Bowser responded
with a hello" to hear voice saying:
"Mr. Bowser, beg your pardon for
disturbing you. Do you want some
string beans for your dinner tOmor-

Bowser, as he hung up the receiver. .
Within the hour there were four
more calls, and then Mr.. Bowser put
on his hat and left the house, hoping
to find someone and wash his hands In

And when he was gone, Mrs. Bowser
had the laughing Mysteries.

HDead Mani Chest

Robert Louis Stevenson made this
ditty famous in Treasure Island" but
the verses were not his own. Thou
sands of persons have specialized since
whether the chest was part of the
anatomy Of a corpse or merely q sail
or's box for personal belongings. The
fact is that certain bay In the Carib-
bean islands was known as dead
Mans Chest" in the. days Of piracy
because of its resemblance to a sail
ors trunk. --
The identity of the author of the
ballad is unknown. Half a century
ago it was popular "chantey'' on
the merchant ships Of those days.
There are a dozen stanzas in the
original text, dealing with the wreck
ing Of an English pirate vessel after a
gruesome night Of mutiny and murder.
Stevenson did not plagiarizes in
using the verse, for he merely put into
the mouth of one of his characters a
few lines that were at that time known
all over the seven seas.

MIR. BOWSER
STARTS REFORM
But 1t Is Worse Than the

Nothing so irritates Mr.. Bowser as
to have the street peddlers 90 up
and down, in front Of his house, yell
ing their wares, and, on many occa-
sions, he has gone out and quarreled
with them, but he has found them
claiming their rights, their licenses
from the city permitting them to yell.
- The other night, as Mr.. Bowser sat
reading, a vegetable peddler stopped
at his gate and kept calling out, for
five long minutes. He had a voice
like hand-saW trying to saw a
spike in two, and it must have made
other people nervous. Mrs. Bowser
feared that there would be riot, and
she began to drum on the piano, to
distract Mr.. Bowser's attention. 1t
was In vain, however. He rose up
with the exclamation:
by thunder, woman, do you think
am going to stand that?"
HE will go home, presently" an
swered Mrs. Bowser, drumming louder
than before.
stop that internal racket! Isn't it
bad enough to hear that fellow yell?
I am going out and kill him. He is
the one of all the ones who make
this trouble. Just listen to his
voice! Why, it would scare baby to
death!"
Mr.. Bowser, just wait one minute
and he will drive on"
Il won't wait one blamed second!
Don't you come out and mix in! There
will be gore flying around, and 1 may
also tip his wagon over and kill his
horse!"
Mr.. Bowser rushed down the hall
and out of doors. He was bare-headed
and wore his dressing gown. The
peddler had not moved on. He was
not going to- He sat there in his seat
in comfortable position, and he was
going to yell as long as he wanted to.
He say. Mr.. Bqwser coming out, and
he called and he shouted:
II have got them! Do you want
some string beans? They are on a
string! I have onions and potatoes
and cucumbers! l have some of the
incest celery here that a king ever
chewed on! Oh-oh-oh! Come and
buy!"
Mr.. Bowser came! And he had
ground glass in his voice, as he said:
"Look here, old teller, you want to
quit this II you don't, am going TO
murder your,

"Of course complain about it!'

Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, many

there are certain simple methods by.

Color is usually considered the first

1t Is now generally conceded, however,
that color alone is not criterion by

nlugLOQ--AmerlCdQ naval eXs
perts presented to the Japanese and
British officers detailed answers to
questions presented last week: as to
the American naval reduction pro-
gram. The full membership of the
technical commission Of the arms con-
ference was not in session.
The extensive examination of figures
of all three powers as to existing naval
strength of each country has not re-
suited in any change of the original
figures in Secretary Hughes proposal.
1t was said authoritatively no mistakes
in calculation had been revealed dur
ing the discussion by the experts.
s. The data, submitted Monday by the
American group had TO do, it, was
understood, with questions asked by
the Japanese as to the exact meaning
of certain paragraphs of the American
reduction plan. The specific nature of
the points involved was not revealed.
It is known, however, that the Ameri-
can experts feel that they have been
able to show that there exists no rea-
son to change :ny Of the tonnage es-
Inmates for the three powers upon
which the American plan was based
and it is assumed that during the
week, possibly in matter of hours,
the naval reduction problem will be
formally returned to the. conference
for action. e, ...:,.
Assurances that the American calcu-
lati0n as to existing Japanese naval
strength has been found to he accurate
in the American views, lends addition
al weight to the repeated declaration
that the American delegates will stand
firmly for the $3.50 ratio proposed
for limitation of naval construction at
the end of the 1O.year holiday period.
It would also indicate the improba-
bility that the American delegates
would agree to retention by Japan of
the battleship Mutsu, although no def.
mite statement in this regard has been
made by any member~ce the delega-
ton.
U. s. Will Block Jap Claims.
American naval opinion strongly op.
poses retention by Japan of the battle
ship Mutsu unless both other powers
similarly and in due proportion en-
large their fleets to be retained during
the ten year holiday in building. There
are indications that some members Of
the American delegation which will
decide the American attitude see
strength in the arguments of Japan
that the Mutsu might have been in
.cluded as q completed ship in the re-
tanned fleets. There. was nothing to
indicate, however, that a compromise
was being considered in the American
group on this point.
British opinion as to The Mutsu con-
troversy has been withheld. It has
been indicated, however, that Great
Britain was not DESTROYS Of undertake
ing any further naval construction at
this time, which SENS to forecast
agreement with the American view
that the Mutsu should not be re-
tanned.
