years to q practice which had its origin in
the deepest African jungle.
According to professors of ethnology
and students of comparative religion, the
whole mascot craze, from the goat of the

table or the "lucky" ring on her finger,
may all be traced back to one or the other
of the ancient and savage sOurces-either
TO fetichism or totomism.
The two are closely allied, but have
notable differences. They are alike in the
respect that both are superstitious cults
based on the ascribing of magical powers
to certain animals. plants or inanimate
objects.
They are different in the respect that
totem Is never an isolated individual
thing, but always a class Of objects, while
a fetch is n single object.

totem. Suppose the tribe takes the bear.
This means that all bears are sacred to all

THE latest craze of fashionable wo-
men for mascots and good-luck
charms has suddenly centered itself
on--an elephant hairl
A single hair from the mud-spattered
tail of an African elephant has become
more desirable, If you are superstitious,
than diamonds or rubies!
And these elephant hairs are being set,
like precious stones.s on rings and bracelets
of gold or platinum.
The elephant-hair ring already may be
seen encircing miladys little finger at
fashionable gatherings on Fifth avenue,
the Champs Eiysees and Berkeley Square.
Soon It may be known from Maine to Cali
fornia. for fads Of this kind fly doubly
fast on the twin wings of fashionsand
superstition.

"charm" is a plain band, with little

groove around its entire outer surface, in
which n single hair is set, like thread
wound once around a spool
Why elephant hair?
The answer is even stranger than the
fad itself--for il leads straight to the heart
of the primitive African jungle-to saw
age customs which antcdate Christianity
by thousands Of years--to witch-doctors
and voodoo rites and black magic-to
totemsm and fetch worship.
Briefly, the origin of the elephant-hair
fad is this
The savage African priest or witch
doctor still wears bag Of charms sup
posed to possess magic powers. This bag
may contain the skull of a snake, the
dried blood Of toad, n monkeys paw, a
quartz pebble and the claw Of lion. But
whatever else &c holds it ia sure TO con-
tain, among certain Of the older tribes,
hair or a bundle of hairs plucked from
the tail or ear of bull elephant. And OF
all the witch-doctor's charms the elephant
hair is deemed the most powerful.
This African voodoo bag corresponds
TO the "medcne bag" which the Ameri-
can Indian "medicine man always car

makes magic, believing or claim

In the case of the elephant hair, the
girl who really believes that il has power
to bring her good luck and who wears "A
certain individual hair on her finger, is un-

She is totem worshippcr In that she

A short time ago Bishop Morley, Of
London, denounced what he called "mas-
cottis" as "unchristian and horrifying
and a direct survival Of totem worship
and heathenism." Other churchmen, how
ever, declined to take the matter so seri-
ously They say superstltions about mas
cots and good-luck charms are natural and
probably do little harm.
DR.. Bernard HoIYander, eminent psy-
chologist, says that "mascots and fctiches

they are a part of human nature. They
should not be encouraged, but they can

THE EARLIEST GRIND STONES

DEEP DOWN in the earth in
many parts of Europe-ln the oeds
of rivers and far beneath the floors
of caves-are found very crude
stone tools and weapons, made at
the beginning of the Stone Age.
Less deep are better stone imple-
ments made by men of later times.
Near the surface of the ground
usually only few feet down--are
the best products Of the whole, Stone
Age. Some Of them are clipped
verw carefully, others are smooth
like the ak shown today. The time
when men made clay dishes and
smooth stone tools is called the
Late Stone Age.
There were then no big round
eridstones such as we use nova
days. How could tools be ground
smooth?
Nature had made grindstone for
mantle sandstone.
Many sandstones were found by
the flint-makers of the late Stone
Age. and they still bear marks
where hints were ground and polished
Arrow-heads and spear heads
were not ground, because there was
no good reason to make them
smooth.
Axes, on the other hand, were
much better when rid of all rough
ness. Notice how smooth and sharp
is the AK pictured.
1t is only one of hundreds Of sucr
axes which have come down to US
from the Late Stone Age.
Stone hammers were also ground
smooth. Sometimes flat piece of
sandstone was cut out of the rock
and taken to the cave or hut where

Newport News.-It is possible that
while repairs are being made to the
engine on the sub-chaser Mehallatos,
enemy to rum-runners in the neigh
borhood of the Virginia Capes, a new
shield may be placed around the one
pound gun on deck, so that the captain
and crew may do their rum-sleuthing
"on a business like basis" stated Cap
tain Charles Krauss this morning.
The Mehellatos now is at the coast

more When the engine on the sub
chaser went bad, it was decided that
the small craft should undergo COM
plete survey and repairs. 1t is pos
sible that a new engine may be put
aboard.
When it was in service a few weeks
ago off the Virginia Capes section,
the gun was absolutely unprotected.
1t sat back on deck with nothing to
protect it from chance fire from an
enemy rum-runner.
