Maybe You Know a
Word

(T1 HE word "scofaw" has not been a sue
i cess. Another term is needed for those
who take the Eighteenth amendment rather
could apply to one who parks overtime, for
instance.
In recent months the term practicilg pro-
hibitonist" has come into the use to indicate
person who not only believes in dry laws for
the country at large, but for himself personally.
In other words, practicing prohibitionist is
prohibtionist who doesn t drink.
He is, in fact, an "inhibtionist" as well
as prohibitionist. If an educational cam
paign could acquaint the country with the
word inhibtionist as thoroughly as it knows
prohbitionist, we might get the short word
we need The trouble is, of course, that most
people have the instinct to prohibit much
more developed than the instinct to inhibit
We'd rather make others be good than be good
ourselves, that is to say.
"Prohi" has done duty for years as an
abbreviaton of prohibitionist 'fInhi" might
become the short form of inhibitionist Keep
in mind, however, that an inhibitionist is not
necessarily a prohibitionist. There are some
good citizens who follow what they consider
the correct course without ever trying to make
others accept it, either by law or otherwise.
But, when you've got an inhibitionist who
is also a prohibitionist, couldn t you call him
an "inhi-prohi9" 1t pronounces more easily
than it looks and it certainly is much shorter
than "practicing prohibitionst
Well, that takes care of the dry prohibi-
tionists, but what about the scohaws? "Anti-
inhi-prohi" takes up too much room. It
sounds like that campaign song of 1896: eve
are the Repubo Prohi-Populistic-D Democrats! -

CHAPTER II
A Quiet Day With the Neanderthal
Family


IN UR trip is now almost over.
IL N We are very close to our
. own times-only $4,000 to
100000 years distant. So we will
stop off for few minutes and make
a call on the Neanderthal family.
The Neanderthals are now extinct,
but once they were the leading fam
lily of the whole world, as testified to
by the excellent skeletons and we'll
preserved family implements which
they left.
Oh, here we are; they reside right
in that cave in front of us. I wonder
if the Neanderthals are at home? {.
Watch out Who threw that
stone? Oh. it's all right-only Mr..
Neanderthal making love to his fifth
wife.
Mr.. Neanderthal is the gent with
the hair-tfe fellow who stoops over
as he walks till his thumbs nearly
drag on the ground. 1t was bit
cold last night, so he has smeared
himself with mud. 1t even extends
up to the point where his chin would
be, If he had one.
Here comes another fellow of the
same general appearance. Maybe
we'd better hide behind that rock
over there; it looks like trouble. Sure

ROBBED IN BANK,
/ WITNESS ASSERTS
Acquaintance Forced Him to
Give Up $4,000, Wealthy
Oil Man Says.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 27.-Samuel A:
Gteberson. jr., formerly an oil we'll
driller of Dallas. Tex, now reported to
be extremely wealthy, testified in gen
eral sessions yesterday that last Octo-
Der he was robbed of $4,000 at pistol
point in a New York bank. without
either officials of the bank or custom
ers being aware of the robbery.
The testimony was given in the
trial of William X. Cough of 225 Park
way avenue, Cincinnati, the man al
legged to have robbed Gieberson.
Gieberson testified that Cough,
whom he had known for years, en-
tered taxicab with him and at the
point of a revolver demanded $4,000.
When Gieberson told him he did not
nave that amount, he said, Cough
directed that the driver take them to
the Guaranty Trust Co. where Gieb-
erson had $4,000 on deposit.
Menaced With Gun.
He then marched me to a desk
and stood over me while | drew a
check for $4,000 payable to his or
der" Gieberson testified. This he
presented to the paying teller and
when told that it could not be hon
ored until he was identified he came
back to me and. still with the pistol
IN his hand, compelled me to indorse
the check which he then cashed.
After he had put the money in his
pocket he marched me out of the
bank. Bidding me to get back in the
taxi. he then slammed the door on
me and walked away"
On cross examination Gieberson
admitted that Cough had brought
suit against him for alienation of the
affections of Mrs. Cough, who had
formerly been Gieberson's secretary
in Dallas. He said that the suit was
settled for $4,000 on November "a,
1923.
Il paid the $9,40o." he said, ito
avoid unpleasant publicity on account
of my wife and two children"
Coughs attorney indicated that the
defense would be that the check from
Gieberson was obtained through
regular channels in connection with

departed spirits is common the world over,
but there is evidence that this belief has
attached itself in a particular way to
white butterflies or moths.
There is, however, also abundant
evidence that other kinds of butterflies,
especially those showing eyes on their
wings, were also associated with departed
spirits in prehistoric Greece and Crete.
OF special interest was the discovery in
the third shaft-grave at Mycenae of gold
balance, the scales of which showed en-
bOssed figures of eyed butterflies with
indented wings-a kind of combination
of the Peacock and Comma butterfly
conveying an evident allusion to the
widespread idea of the weighing of souls.
With them were also found gold plates
cut out in butterfly form, and pendent
objects in which we may recognize lude
representations of chrysalises. The God
dess on the ring must have presided at
some such judgment by weighing, and the
particular relation in which she stands to
the young couple shown in the next COM
partment seems to invest her with some
power of calling the just to new life
beyond the grave"
Upon the picture of the young man and
woman meeting one another, Sir Arthur
Evans conments:
1--WE see here, reunited by the life
giving power of the Goddess, symbolized
by the chrysalises and butterflies, young
couple whom death had parted, and of
whom the female parsonage was clearly
the earlier to reach the Underworld The
scene may best be Interpreted as the per-
manent reunion of welded pair by the
divine grace in the Land of the Blest,
rather than an attempt like that of
Orpheus to rescue Eurydice from the
shades, or the all too brief respite that
Protesilaos was allowed for his visit TO
Laodamia.

other in another world itself largely cor
