The Oldest Mystery.

The Swastika is the Oldest symbol Of the
world You find it engraved on primitive tools,
dug up in the haunts of the Mississippi. Ohio,
and Tennessee mound builders, who inhabited
America before the Indians The Swastika
also is found in the most ancient ruins of Alas
ka. Mexico. Brazil, and nearly every other
country in the world. including obscure islands
Buddah, according to myth, carved the Swas-
tika on the soles of his sandals, and oriental
statues of him often have their feet decorated
to correspond. The Swastika is the interna-
tional symbol for good luck and general we'll
fare--like our horseshoe, the negro's rabbit
foot and the chung meng-fui-goi sign that is
painted on the door of nearly every Chinese
home. The Swastikas origin is unknown. But
archaeologists, the ditch diggers Of science
have traced it back to the beginning of the
bronze age. For all we know the Swastika
may have been old then. How did it spread
over the earth and become known in countries
that are supposed to have had no knowledge of
each other in ancient times?
christopher Columbus unQuestionably knew
the Swastika, possibly had it painted on his
ships for luck Yet mark that it was used by
the mound builders in America centuries be-
fore Columbus born. How did they get
it? The only plausible explanation of the uni
versal use of the Swastika comes from China
The Chinese, who claim that their explorer,
Fusang. visited America 1.09e years before Co
lGrnbus, believe that civilization travels in ar
endless wave, up $4,000 years, then down $4,000
years. so on forever That's why Chinese my
