Upon woman Nature put the burden

little cave boys and cave girls, mounting
up like steps from one year, two years,

1t was precisely because man was not
bothered by this procession of children,

THE expression "Cave-Man Love"
has attained considerable popular
ity lately. 1t is based on the theory
that a woman likes to be wooed roughly,
and that theory is based in turn on the
idea that it was the way our early rude
ancestors secured their wives and sweet
hearts.
Our Mother Ewes of 100000 years ago,
according to this theory, were supposed to
give their hearts and hands to the skin
draped male strong enough to worst them
in a personal encounter, or unscrupulous
enough to leap on them from ambush
with a club, knock them over the head
and drag them by the hair back to the
cave which was destined to be the home
and nursery.
But commission of wise and eminent
scientists appointed by the Sorbonne
University at Paris to investigate woman's
standing before the dawn of history has
made some very remarkable discoveries
which entirely upset this comfortable
belief of man. Not only do they upset
it, but they say that practically every art
and science which we have to-day is due
to woman's ingenuity, observation and
courage.
Back in those dim days man, instead
of being the lord of creation, was largely
tolerated and allowed to hang around the
lair for the sake of the meat and skins
that he brought and fighting qualities that
he possessed He was, in fact, almost only
the biological factor" which certain adj
vanced women of to-day conceive will be
his sole function a few centuries from
now, when women will undoubtedly DOM
mate and rule the world.
Yet there was another reason beside his
hunting and fighting abilities which made
the Mother Ewes of that day tolerate him
and let him hang about. Although the
mystery of birth was a complete one to
the peoples of that day, it was vaguely
recognized that the man of the house had
something to do with it. The father did
not know that he was a father in the
physiological sense, nor did the mother
recognize the fathcrhood of her children.
Nevertheless, as has been said, it was felt
that the man had something to do with
the phenomenon.
"The evidence in the most ancient
legends in the rock paintings and carv-
ings of the stone age and in surviving
customs of primitive tribes" writes Pro-
fessor Pierre Letillon, head of the Sor-
bonne commission, "is that woman, and
not man, is practically responsible for the
invention of every labor-saving and com.
fort-sscuring device from which our elab-
orate civilization has grown.

NOT TRYING TO MAKE
PROHIBITION AN ISSUE
IN OKLAHOMA RACE
(BY Associated Pressl

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July 20
Prohibition, which became a part of
the constitutional law of Oklahoma
with the admission of the state in
1907, is an issue which candidates
are making no Effort to revive as the
statewide primary OIL Aug. 1 draws
near.
The only reference to the question
made by any candidate for nomina-
ton which has been quoted in the
press of the state, was voiced by Miss
Alice Robertson, congresswoman from
the Second district, who declared in
the opening speech of her campaign
for denomination that she stood on a
dry platform.
Miss Robertson asserted that her
opponents had attempted to assail her
attitude on the subject and invited
them to bring forward an avowed wet
candidate to run against her. No one
accepted the invitation, and the matter
has not been mentioned since.
The eastern side of Oklahoma has
been dry many years, even before
statehood. When under federal super
vision as the Indian Territory, prohi
bition was rigidly enforced, and dry
senHment is regarded in many quart.
ers as firmly established.

some of the collieries both north and
south may be kept idle periodically,
owing to the lack of facilities for shift

At the ministry of justice the sug-

! NJ. Wells, director of civil affairs at
the ministry of justice, said he did
not think it logical that France should
be looked upon in the United States as
a country where divorces could be
| easily obtained since there were fewer
legal grounds for divorces here than
in America.
Generally speaking France grants
divorces to foreigners if their own
countries permit divorce. Judges dur
ing the last few years have been TAX.
ing a more lenient view toward appli-
! cations for divorce by foreigners. Pre-
viously the applicants usually were
notified that they should apply for
divorces in their own countries.
H. E. Barrault, a French advocate
who has made inquiries into the mum
Der of divorces granted to Americans
in French courts, says there have not
been more than 20 in any one year
but hat the divorces mostly were
prominent rich persons, which &C
counts for the great publicity given in
the American press. This gives the
appearance of a much larger number
of divorces, he says, than are really
obtained. because of the fact that prac
tically all of them are striking person
alities who merely find Paris a more
pleasant place to live than some
American cities where divorces would
