to believe and appreciate that we would go to
the trouble and work of communicating with
individuals in various parts Of the country and
make this personal appeal where possible sub
scriptions of one to a few hundred shares can
be made by them-when it is a fact that a num-
Der of groups of already very wealthy people
would take every available share of the capital
we need to place.
But, just remember, that we started out
with ideals and principles in this business that
no amount of adversely heretofore could

prosperity in the future will ever be able to

Here are the facts: Stevenson Associated

the revolver, robbed the passengers and
rausacked the ship. They dismantled
the wireless and finally forced the en-

made good their escape.
While six men held the crew, others
ransackcd the cabins, opening every
thing, Sitting trunks and handbags
with knives. The plunderers then piled
all the loot into sacks. At midnight,
after four hours ransacking, the hold
up men announced that their task was
completed.
The boat was then off Koppa where,
accor sing to the plans of the holdup
men, a motor boat was to meet them
and take them ashore. but there being
no motor boat in sight, the chief of
the gang ordered the captain 10 lower
the life boats and row them ashore
with their booty.
The captain refused to leave his ship,
but the remaining officers were obliged
to carry out the bandits orders. Once
ashore the bandits disappeared in the

VIM. and Mary Notes

Through the good Offices of the
Daily Press, of Newport News, Va,
the college of William and Mary is
enabled to announce a course in
journalism, beginning next Septem-
Der, under the direction Of Judge
Charles n. Feidelson, of Richmond.
At conference just held and at
tended by DR.. J. A. c. Chandler,
president of William and Mary, and
Messrs. w. S. Copeland and l.. +.
Pugh, of the Daily Press, the ar
rangement was contaminated, when
the post was offered to Judge
Feidelson and was accepted by him.
Judge FeidelsOn will act as As
Soclate editor of the Press, which,
together with its afternoon edition,
the Times Herald, will serve as a
laboratory or the practical work Of
the students in journalism.
The course in journalism, 1t is an
nounced, will offer a broad training
in reporting, cOpy-reading, editorial
writing, and the like, and will
cover the main aspects of modern
newspaper making. 1t will en-
phaSize such fundamentals as a
sound, graphic English, and will in
its way be allied to the department
of English as an upper group sub
ject.
Judge Feidelson has been the
editor of the Richmond Evening
Dispatch for over a year. He was
before that the editor of the VIII
mington On. c. Morning Star. A
graduate of the University Of
Georgia, holding the degree of A. B.
and Ii. B., he was for six years
Judge of the Juvenile court of Sa-
vannah, Georgia, having drafted
the juvenile court law now operative
in that state. He is, IN Virginia as
throughout the southeast, in wide
demand as a public speaker.
The provision of this course in
journalism fills a genuinely felt
need in the state of Virginia. The
indications are that its advantages
will be sought by a large number Of
students. Judge Feildelson has al
ready arrived in Williamsburg and
is now engaged in preparations for
his next falls work.

NGIVING FACES TO SKULLS
CHOW CAN BONES help us
know what people of the Stone Age
looked like"
This question was contained IN
the letter of a child who is reading
this series. The Answer Is:
Bones can never tell US exactly
how those people appeared, but
they give US a good idea of the size {,
and shape of the heads and bodies"
To show you how scientists oIten
go about such work, we are publish
ing the picture of a skull nall
covered with clay. This skull be-
longed to a man of the Stone Age
1t was found in a cave in the little
village of Cro-Magnon, France
The cave was discovered by work
men who were building a road IN
the village.
Look carefully at the picture:
On the left side, the skull itself
can be seen. On the right, you see
the clay modelled outside the skull.
The modelling was done by a man
who had studied this subject deeply.
He could tell how the face probably
looked. Near his skeleton, a mum
Der of other skeletons were found
Two of these belonged to young
men, another was of woman whose
forehead bore the mark Of a wound
from some heavy blow. Pieces OF
a child's skeleton were also unearth-
ed in this cave.
These people lived about 25,OOO
years ago. Much older skeletons
have been found, but the people OF
the Cro-Magnon cavern are of spec
ial interest because they lived dur
ing the time those remarkable cave
paintings and engravings were
made.
The Cro-Magnon men were rather
tall, average about feet, IL inches
They had broad faces, but then
noses appear to have been narrow
and good looking. The lower jaw
was thick and strong.
Their shin bones were long, which
points to swiftness OF foot. Best OF
all, their skulls prove that their
brains were much larger than those

One of the features of the Sum-
mer Quarter of the Radford State
Normal School is the active work
of the PocahontaS and lngles Liter
airy Societies. Heretofore these
SOCIETIES have not held regular
weekly meetings during the sum-
mer quarter, but since certain
changes have been made in the
course of study, making the work
of the summer quarter the same as
that of other quarters, the Literary
Societies were prompted to attempt
their usual activities. The attend
ance at the meetings is large and
many new members have been
added. These Literary Societies
are carrying forward plans to
build permanent society homes on
the campus.
A regular weekly program for the
twilight hour on the Normal campus
is being carried out as follows:
Monday. songs and games; Tues
day, current events; Wednesday,
Vesper service directed by the
Young Women'S Christian Associa-
ton; Thursday, story telling; Fri
day motion pictures; Saturday,
Literary Societies meeting. Most
of these exercises are held on the
lawn where students voluntarily
