Members of the San Antonio Off
Gals Association have volunteered to
work the game if it is arranged. They
feel in need of practice, also.

Free State military forces, and his
aides, were attacked by a mob when
they emerged from Pier No. 4, Hobo

emerged through the gate they were
met by the mob, who bombarded them
with eggs.

THE skeleton is practically intact

count of the pathological condition
at the upper end of the left lower
leg bone. Accident or disease had
carried away the upper end of the
bone and the shaft of the fibuia had
fused with that of the tibia some
four centimeters below what would

One is impressed by the great pre-

Many horse teeth were found. For

were literally scores of lower molars.
"One might assume from such
marked discrepancy that the head of
the horse had been dismembered in
the plain below and the upper jaw,
including the brain case, left where
the horse fell. But the reason for

Solutre is admirably adapted by ma
ture for a prehistoric camp site and
place of burial. 1t is high and dry,
with spring nearby, and protected
on the north by the towering rock of
Solutre. The Aurignaeians were the
first to leave their dead here. Later
races did likewise.
The skeletons uncovered by the
school were all near the surface
the deepest being not much over two
feet; but depth alone is no criterion
of age. The spot where we found
the skeletons has been subject to
erosion for thousands of years. On
the contrary the adjoining depression
in which three skeletons We're found
in 1923 has been subject to fill
for a like period of time. This fact
would account for the additional
depth of four feet at which they were
found.

A Banknote MiSprint.

IT is rarely that mistakes get past
Uncle Sans inspectors in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
but this happened when a banknote
was issued which bore $50 value
on one side and a 500 value on the
other. Odd circumstances attended
its discovery. A western hotel clerk
in Strengthening out his accounts one
day found a disa greement he could
not explain. A pile of bills was at
his right, and as he counted them
and turned them over he placed them
in a pile at his left.
He consumed more than two hours
counting and recounting. only to find
that when he counted from left to
right his accounts were exact and
that when he counted them back a
shortage of $50 was shown. The
manager was called upon, but met
with no better success. At last each
bill was examined separately on both
sides, whereupon the mystery was
solved. 1t was then that the $50
diverse and the 800 reverse was
found.
The Treasury Department was mott
fed, and after investigation 1T was
found that it had a record OF the
bill. The mistake was made when
a sheat of notes was printed for
national bank in Kansas City.
Through a mistake Of the pressman
two misprinted notes went out-one
with a $50 diverse and a 500 re-
verse, the other with a S100 diverse
and a $50 reverse. The cashier re-
turned the note to the Treasury and
received good one in its stead.

A LII of this may have led to mis-
a understanding of the true aims of
the American school. 1t is not So
Ciety or organization fostered by
science to give American students an
opportunity to enjoy the extreme SEN
sation OF delving into prehistoric
archaeology. but its objects have been
carefully defined. by its directors and
governing boards. That the school
Will broaden rapidly in the future
seems assured as a result of the
achievements it has attained already
and the standing 1T has won for it,
self among European scholars.
AS expressed by it's directors, the
main object of the American School
for Prehistoric Research in Europe Is
to assist graduate American students
museum curators, collectors and in
structors to a frst-hand knowledge
of a field of learning which from
year to year is assuming wider in
terest and greater Importance.
The field in which the ancient men
of France hunted was not confined
solely to the present boundaries of
that nation. Remains and relics just
like those of France, may be traced
across the English Channel to the
channel islands and finally to south
eastern England itself. North they
extend TO the limits of Belgium !;

The Specialist.
BY J.. A. wALDRON.

w YELLIN TON wLBER-
FORCE JONES, after win
wv ming his decree a s a doctor
of medicine, became a spe-
cislist. Most physicians
these days become specialists. Jones
experimented until he found a cure
for dyspepsia. Everybody has dys
pepsia. The laboring man gets il
from moonshine and antagonistic
foods, and the millionaire gets il
because he makes his brain work at
times when his stomach should do its
duty and exercises only his ina gina
ton.
Jones wisely determined to turn his
attention TO millionaires. He was no
philanthropist, and there are 10000
dyspepsia cures in the drug shops for
the laboring man, who may try them
one after another for comparatively
little money.
In an incredibly short period Jones
became a millionaire himself Then
he took to wife very young woman
for her beauty alone, and she at once
insisted he should become fashion
able.
To be truly fashionable, after ma
tive experiments. Jones hired a shoot
ing box in Scotland and went there
with Mrs. Jones They had been out
fitted in London with all the reEalia
appertaining to hunting, and one day
Jones and Mrs. Jones set out to hunt
alone. There was the usual multitude
of servants on the place, but Jones
was an original sort of person and
purposed TO show his independence of
serYile attendance. Besides, there
was still light in the honeymoon.
What would you like me to shoot.
dear?' he asked.
Some animals" he renIiad
would dearly like an ermine coat and
jacket of sable, and possibly muff.
Do you think there are seals here,
too"
Jones looked at her, and some doubt
as TO the breadth of her general
knowledge for the first time intruded.
1t was very like a tiny cloud on the
honeymoon. Why, my dear" he
said, quite sure Of his superior knowl-
edge, such animals don't grow here"
Well. then. l want a bird of para
disc and an aigrette for my hats, and
maybe we can find an ostrich"
Jones thought It possible all but
the ostrich might be found. They
looked about for quite a while, but
saw only a rabbit. Jones thought to
shoot the rabbit, but at the critical
moment found he didn't know how to
load a gun. SO they returned. each
a bit contemptuous of the other
Il think you ought to have learned
to shoot" said Mrs. Jones, with a
pout; and you ought also to have
found out before you hired this place
whether 1T had any useful animals,
birds Of paradise and aigrettes."
I'll admit" replied Jones, that
I'm not as smart as l thought I was;
but it will not take me as long to
learn how to load a gun as it will
you, my dear, to familiariZe yourself
with the habitats of animals. More

school here reveals the same cultured
levels as those found by Peyrony at
Blanchard Number Two, namely, Mid

flint scrapers found during the past

labor at the excavations which would
otherwise be turned over to French
laborers living nearby.
Everything is done, therefore, to

dered by lack of funds. A movement
is on foot now to establish a small
loan fund with which to tide worthy
students over an emergency. In ad-

THERE is always strange ap
peal to the imagination when
one stands before the dark mouth of
a cave and reflects upon what might
be inside. The very name seems to
breathe of adventure and mystery, but
until you have faced the yawning en-
trance to a cavern where might lie
bones many thousands of years old,
the bones of a race of men who have
disappeared from the face of the
earth, you have never experienced
the greatest thrill of all.
Tragedy and romance may await your
approach and sights to stagger the
imagination ofttimes await the adj
venturous explorer who dares to
brave the darkness inside. He may
find only a few dirty trinkets scat
tered about the floor. Perhaps there
will be a fossilized skeleton or two,
and again he may see before him the
tragic end of an ancient family, a
heinous crime of forgotten age
barred before his astonished mind.
There is a saying that murder
will out and there Is on record an
instance of how a homicide possibly
committed $4,000 or more years ago
was barred by an archeologist Of mod
ern times. A member of an explor-
ing party, he stepped into one of
these ancient caves and found there
the fossilized skeletons of an entire
family-mother, father and several
children-where an assassin had left
them. Gaping holes in the skulls told
how the monster that had slain them
had dashed out their brains, one after
another.
Students of the American School
for Prehistoric Studies in Europe any
day may bring to light a few bones
or pieces of stone that will open up
another trail into the dim ages be-
fore history began, almost before
man himself, as man is reckoned to-
day, came into being.
Last year the students of the
American School worked not only at
Castel-Merle, but also at the classic
excavations of Solutre, near Macon,
France. They dug there at the invi-
tation of Prof. Deperet, DR.. Mayet
and DR.. Arcelin. three distinguished
French scientists. Human skeletons,
some dating back to the Aurignacian
age, have been found there.

A SECTION was set aside for the
American students and in his re-
port DR.. MacCurdy made the follow
ing remarks on the results:

nate in finding a human skeleton the

name from beautiful little village
not very far from the ancient caves.
Realizing the Importance of the site,
DIR. Hrdlicka promptly signed an OPP
ton for it,
DR.. Hrdlicka informed Dr. Mitchell
Carroll of the Archaeological Society
of Washington of his discovery, and
last year DR.. Carroll visited the scene
as the official representative of that
society. The ultimate result of that
visit was the leasing, some months
ago, of the site by the Pathological
Society of Washington, which thus
gave American students the first site
of their own, where they could pur-
sue their researches into the lives
and habits of earliest man, according
to their own ideas and under their
own directors.
Excavations were started at the
site Immediately, under the director
ship of Dr.. MacCurdy. Soon the place
began yielding a large quantity of
actual effects once used by primitive
beings On the site are a hitherto
untouched cave, or deep rock shelter,
overlooking the VeZere Valley, and
great quantities of refuse accumula-
tions.

famous Neanderthal race of men

a long, unknown time, antedating the
last Ice Ages, and then disappeared
with the glaciers, approximately
80, 900 or more years ago. And there
today modern man is unearthing fos-
siliZed skeletons, crude implements
and stone and bone ornaments-even
the fossili7ed bones of the horse, the
great hairy mammoth, the bison and
other animals that served as food
and perhaps as source of clothing.
The story of the cave, however, like
the story of the rocks, is one of
progress Although the species of
antiquity have passed into oblivion,
science has always found that in the
strata above them are the remains
Of later but somewhat similar crea-
lures that probably evolved from
them. And the accumulations of the
Neanderthaf man in the Castel-
Merle shelters are overlain on one
side by those OF the somewhat more
recent Aurignacian period, which fol-
lowed directly upon the Mousterian
period.
TN the valley just beyond the
Castel- Merle site, now owned by
Washington scientists, are several
more sites belonging to the Aurig-
nacian and Magdalenian times. In
one of these the owner from whom
the American site was leased, has
discovered what is thus far the best
known necklace of stone and bone
beads belonging to the Aurignacian
man ever found.
Describing the rock shelter at
Castel Merle, DIR. MacCurdy, in the
report just received by the Archeo-
logical Society of Washington, said
the first known reference to 1t Is a
site of Paleolithic or earlier remains

1873, although it is still a virgin field
of research. Continuing, DR.. Mac
Curdy said:

lithic stations forming a compact
group. The rock rises precipitously
near the left bank of the Vezere. The

School of Prehistoric Research in
