-CAvE MAN" STUFF
lBy MarceIline p.Alroyl

(By Marcelline p'Alroy)
When MAN SAYS he can't
STAND Bobbed Hair
Beware! Be Wary, / mean;
For that man is unquestionably
A CAVE MAN.
He may not LOOK it,
But that's not the POINT.
His words have given away
What is in his heart
His priceless TRADITIONS.
Yes, they are truly without price
For no woman nowadays thinks
They are WORTH A CENT.
Since WOMAN adopted
The "BOYISH CUT" Man seems
To have lost his Hold-his Pull
And his Punch.
But why the fuss IF you want
To be a Cave Man
WOMAN still has \ neck, waist
And a couple of heels
And II you can't Carry her off,
At least CARRY ON.

Cherry-Pincapple Salad

Select large, ripe cherries, an equal
amount of red and white ones, about
six TO a person. Pit them and place in
the cavaties pecan nut meat or any
other nut meat preferred. Arrange a
slice Of pineapple on lettuce leaf on
individual salad plates and place the
cherries on top of this, the red and
white alternating. Pour over spoon
full Of mayonnaise dressing. Any COM
bination Of fruit is nice used this way.
White grapes (seeded), diced pine
apple and pears cut into sliver-like
pieces, arranged on lettuce leaf and
served with whipped cream dressing
is delicious. Or apricots halved and
the centers filled with chopped pecan
nut meats mixed with salad dressing,
and arranged in bed Of shredded
lettuce alternating with sliced bananas
and served with salad dressing, is a
very appetizing dish. About two or
three apricot halves to q person is
plenty and the bananas should be cut
lengthwise into rather sliver-like
pieces. Arrange the banana sections
In kind of triangle, placing the ap-
ricot in the center.

SEE PERIL TO SWIMMERS.
Authorities Considering Need of
Safeguards at Bathing Places.

Accidental drowning of three boys
the past two days has suggested to
the authorities the necessity for bet
ter safeguarding several favorite
swimming places which are visited by
youths. DR.. Herbert L. Martyr, act
ing coroner, who investigated the
three drownings, has proposed that
l1febuoyS be placed at points known
to the police as being particularly
dangerous, and Maj. Daniel Sullivan,
chief of police, gave his approval to
such plan.
Speaking of the drowning of Leroy
Everett Allen, eleven, 1922 E street
southeast, Thursday afternoon near
at Pennsylvania avenue, and that of
John Taylor, colored, twenty, 1907 9Th
street, drowned yesterday at the foot
of Half street southeast, DR.. Martyr
said their lives probably could have
been saved had there been a lifebuoy
within reach of their companions
DR.. Martyr suggested that the spots
which are especially dangerous might
be selected by the police of the sew
eral precincts and lifebuoys placed on
posts for emergency use. The acting
coroner said he knew of several par
ticularly dangerous spots, mentioning
the scene of the two recent drownings
among them.
Maj. Sullivan said he was in favor
of adopting some means to prevent
drowning accidents. He already had
given some though to the question,
he stated, and said he believed the
plan recommended by the acting coro-
ner was a good one.
There are several life bouys along
the river front in Potomac Park. La st
year there was a suggestion made
that similar buoys be placed along
the upper river, but lack of funds was
given as an excuse for failure to pro-
vide them
Daniel Morgan Alexander, eight
years old, 47O7 Piney Branch road,
was the third boy drowned. He lost
his life in Rock Creek while wading
at the ford where Broad Branch road
! intersects the creek. Desperate efforts
made by three playmates to save
| the boy failed.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The first
scientific confirmation OF the asser-
tion of Robert o. Marsh that he has
found white Indians" in the Darien
was received here in dispatch from
G. n. BREEDER. scientist assigned to
the expedition. by the American Mu-
scum of Natural History. DR.. Bred
er's message to the museum was as
follows:
Marsh has three white Indians,
who have golden hair. blue eyes and
white. tender skins. Two of the boys
are marked with liver spots but the
girl is comparatively clear. Their
gums are pink and their skulls un-
usual in size and shape, being round
and decidedly different from the typi-
cal San Bias Indians"
Dr. Clark Wissler, well known an
thropologist, who received the mes
sage, said:
"Dr. BREEDER is a competent scien-
tist and 1 am convinced by what he
says that the white Indians are a
different people than the San Bias
Indians. How they came to be there
and what they are / cannot say at
