Similar earth shocks occurred on
Mount Ararat and in Tif1is, causing

was the most democra lie country in
Europe. had not granted women the

to have women participate at least in

SiGnor NuSSolini did not think
municipal votes for women would
open in Italy the fioodgates of the
suffrage movement. as the Italian
women always had shown themselves
discreet.
Passage of the bill referred to is
considered the first step toward uni
Versal women's suffrage for all Italia n
elections. and its passage undoubtedly
was due largely to the unqualified
approval of Premier Mussolini. Nine
such bills have been submitted to the
Italian Parliament since 1904. when
Inc first of its kind was discussed.
All We're rejected and a ma jority of
the parliamentary committee also de-
cided against the one that has been
adopted, but Mussolini'S support made
1t a certainty that the measure would

At the lowest level. in the cave at Les Eyzie. were flint implements of the prehistoric man. above that Roman relics and above it all the refuse left there in feudal times and on top of the ground the traces of dwellers there In most re- cent times.
 In the late afternoon we visited the chateau of the Prince de Croy, who did not happen to be at home. In the big salon were suits of armor standing about. feudal weapons lined the walls, and rich ancient furniture rested on rare Moroccan rugs.
 Like Feudal Times
 IL was like going back into feudal times to % into the dimly lighted room in that castle. built in the elev- enth century on lofty crag. sur rounded with its moat and protected by drawbTidge and arehers' galleries. watch towers and maehicoulis.
 Yesterday We visited the suhterran- can lakes at Padirac. We went down well-like opening. three hundred and twenty-five feet deep. and per- haps a hundred feet in diameter, toI the lower level of the caves, and walked for perhaps half a mile under ground to the river. There we rowed in boats for perhaps an- other half mile. over crystal clear water some twenty feet deep, where blind fishes and shrimps were to be found. The cave was we'll lighted with electrisiSy ahG one saw the most fantastic shapes in the stone. towering overhead sometimes to height of two hundred feet. Stalaetites and stall agmites were numerous and extended throughout the cave. somewhat over a mile beyond the point where We turned back
 Later in the day We went to Roca- madour. a town built on the steep side of a cliff, and crowned by a chateau hundreds of feet above the nordogne River. and so high that it made me dizzy to look off. On the way up the valley we passed many ehateaux. those of Castelnaud and Montfort, and many iuins of other castles. We went through one beautiful place at Ferac, restored and owned by wealthy com poser from Paris. We also went through the uninhabited chateau of Beynae. across the river from the oth- CT and dominating the entire Dor dogne valley. The castle was built in feudal times to prevent the English from penetrating further into the in terior of France from Aquitania.
 We got back to Neuvie at one last night. after n long hard trip with the boys dead tired and not little bit dirty. This morning we all feel the worse for wear. but well satisfied with our promenade of the last week.

Chateau Neuvic. Dordogne,
 Atnnrr,n4 oS IQOk


 Today was banner day for letters for l received three from home. The letters were written on the 9th. 18th and 14th. and may have arrived some days ago. for We have been away on trip up the Vezere valley for five days and returned last night. I could never hope to have a better and more in- structive time in all my life, for that valley is not only the place where the feudal barons built their grim castles of lofty crags, but it was also the birthplace of the human race and ahounds in traces of prehistoric man. We left Chateau Neuvic Tuesday morning bright and early. going in two groups. and l led the way on my wheel with five boys. followed several hours later by the rest of the party in the car. and two boys riding the hors- es. We had to cover a distance of forty miles in one day and then make camp for the night in a medieval grotto. We cycled for four hours and then were overtaken by the car and the second group of boys took che wheels and went with MT. Ores ser, while I finished up the trip in the ear. We arrived in the late afternoon at the chateau of Loss, beyond the town of Les Eyzie in a most picturesque val ley. Our cave was below the ruins of the chateau of Comarque, across the valley. IL was a most terrific task to cross the swamp and get up to the cave with all our camp outfit. It was ten o'clock before we finished our meal around the campfire and turned in for the night, and in spite of the diseom- fort of sleeping on the bare rock floor of the cave, we all slept soundly and safely.
 Traces of Ancient Tribes
 The next morning we went up the valley as far as Saint Leon. where we visited a party under Prof. McCurdy of Yale. who were exeavating the camp site. in cave, of prehistoric man. The traces of the ancient tribes who dwelt there were very evident and one could see where the earth had been dug away. different levels which at one time had been the floor of cave and then above it more dirt and then an- other level with more traces. We all dug for a time and found a quantity of ancient stone flint, implements and boneSs I fOunu several kOou spftt- mems of flint knives and several bones, mostly horse bones. One, even there, found it hard to visualize the tribe or family of prehistoric people. too ignor- ant to even make handles for their weapons. seated about the camp fire, eating half cooked horse meat about six thousand years ago IL is quite certain that the ancient people lived there about 4000 B. C.
 Later in the day we visited some rather extensive caves where the walls were covered with drawings of tke same period. One could make out distinctly dogs, bison. deer, elephants and there features ht- tie resembled the man of to- day. but perhaps 1t would be a good likeness of the savage of those early times. Strange that there were no drawings of fish, for there were some crude fish hooks discovered and no doubt the ancient man ate fish as well as horse and bison and mammoth. In enc place one could see the traces of all the peoples who have dwelt in the re-

 We returned week ago from camp on the coast of the Bay of Biscay and had most thrilling and exciting voy- age up the river We crossed the Gi- ronde at it's mouth. where it is so broad that one can hardly see the oth- CT shore. There is a tide fall of about twenty feet and the current races as through n mill race We were a bit nervous. having a boat full of small boys. but fortunately We had no trou- hle, making a record run for nine hours of about 250 kilometers at great speed with the incoming tide.
 We went up the Gironde Go the Gar onue and to the Durdogne. spending the night at Leheurne. The next day as We left the deck the engine back fired spraying gasoline in all direc- tions. and caught on fire. The boys all piled out into the rawboat and two canoes. which we left drifting. There were two extineuishers; the captain took one and l had the other and we worked until the smoke got too thick. Finally We wet two large pieces of canvas and managed to smother the fire with that. After the engine was repaired we went on slowly gp the Isle as far as Coutras. It was a nerve racking time for we expected another fire any moment. and l spent the day holding an extinguisher ready.
