OAKLAND, Calf, Aug. 12.-(By
NEA)-A cave boy" born half a
million years too late and roaming
modern streets traficked With the
latest mechanical devices of a mod
ern civilization
A cave boy" minus his knotted
club, waiting for prey, just as he
would have waited in Neanderthal
times!
Such is the amazing analysis of
Frank Avila. 17-year-old alleged
worst boy and killer" made by
Elsie Lincoln Benedict, noted char
acter analyst.
Avila, charged with murder, may
face the gallows. ithout any rea-
son he can ascribe. this lad, accord
ing to the charges, approached a
man he had never seen before, Will
liam Reinking, and struck a blow
that brought death.
Doesn't Know Why.
Il don't know why" repeats the
"throwback" 20 the days of print
tive man. IS hit him just for the
devil OF It."
Investigation has shown Avila' So
past life to be dotted with unre-
strained impulses Ito hit some
body" at least so police records
show. The records show also that
on the occasion of the murder Avila
was sitting on a fence with four
other boys when the stranger passed /;
that Avila suddenly expressed a de-
sire TO get that guy and then pro-
ceeded to trail Reinking.
Revelation Of this apparently FUR
poseless brutality Immediately sent
psychologists scurrying TO read il
they could. the secret that lay be-
hind the lads sullen eyes.
Out OF these efforts came Miss
Benedict's amazing "throwback" the
DRY. which presents to society the
unique problem OF dealing, probably
for the first time, with a man out
OF the primitive past:
That Is precisely what he is-a
cave boy born far beyond his time.
He is what science calls a throwback
10 those stages in human history
when men killed as easily as they
ate or slept and thought nothing of
IL.
Why He Slew
This boy slew a stranger. a man
who had never wronged him. whom
he had never seen before, not be-
cause he wanted TO kill this particu.
lar man, but because the instinct to
strike was so strong that he could
not resist.
ANY other person, coming along
at that moment. would have been
possible prey. for at that moment he
had an overpowering impulse to hit.
He could no more explain why he
did il than you can. He would tell
you he was possessed that he
couldn't help IL.
Psycho-analysis has discovered
that the reason Is a subcOnscious
one. This young man is a reverslon

North Carolina pine manufactur-
srs are still favored by a demand
that overtops production by a wide
margin, but. in common with pro-
ducers In other sections. they are
unable to maintain an adequate
volume Of shipments. In fact, en-
bargoes placed by one OF two i'm

The railroad strike and the sum

is a comfortable volume of business

That prospective buyers Of busi-

Dent.
Recently he purchased property
for $1,000 on Fourteenth street.
which now, he said, cannot be
bought for $4,000. Absence of the

stores along Fourteenth street is
a healthy indication that shrewd
business men consider Fourteenth

he declared
More Commercial Tranie.
statistics show that there is
mora commercial traffic along Four
teenth street than in any thorough
fare in the city. The stores are
coveted by business men. The depth
and wide frontage of the stores all
help to create their desirability,"
said Dent.
Last week Dent almost had closed
a realty deal on Fourteenth street
when he was offered by a second
buyer an increase of Is per cent
over the original price. This is a
fair example of what is expected
to take place in the near future.
he said Dent has sold one piece
of property on Fourteenth street
three times with a large proht
made on each transaction.
