CHAPTER III.
THE EARLIEST AXES

Knives were not the only things
early men made from flint and other
kinds of stone. Not by any means!
Knives were handy in the skinning of
animals, in the pointing of sticks, and
so forth. But what if one wanted to
cut good-sized limb from q tree? 1t
would have been mighty hard job
to do it with one of those stone
knives.
So people invented the ak.
When l say, ak, don't think of the
fine ak with long handle, which you
may have in your cellar or out in the
woodshed. 1t wasn't that kind. 1t
had no handle at all, and the chopping
part had to be held in the hand That
must have been slow work.
Take a good look at the drawing.
A man is using a stone AK to cut down
a small tree. The ak is about seven
inches long.
Perhaps you will turn up your nose
a little at the thought of that sharp
stone being used as an ak, but re-
member-if our ancestors hadn't had
the brains to make such tools as that,
we should never have had the wonder
full civilization of today.

Age, men made much better axes.
This sort of tool may also have been
used as hammer. What do you sup
pose they wanted hammers for? For
one thing, to help them eat! Do !
hear you laughing? It does sound
funny, brt wait a moment.
These early people liked to eat the
flesh of animals. They ate it raw.
They found out about the marrow in
side the bones. Some people of the
present time eat it and like it a great
deal. In those days they seem to have
been almost wild about marrow.
Almost every time we find bones of
animals in places early men lived, VIC
find them split open. This must have
been done to get the marrow out. The
splitting was doubtless done with stone
tools, or hammers.
That's how they used hammers to
help them eatl
Besides knives, axes and hammers.
early men made scrapers out of stone.
These were used for cleaning the in
side of animal skins. Flint stones with
sharp ''teeth" have likewise been
found. They may have been used as
saws.

STABILITY OF turning the major part Of the
yard work to Il single plant is perfectly
clear; the wisdom of giving this preferment
TO the Virginia port equally manifest 1t
is Il mark Of aloofness from political and
sectional influence that the department has
been guided by sound Judgment, unmoved
by pressure favorable to a contrary course.
The decision yesterday conveyed to mem
