work." but there are different
kinds Of guesswork, and some Of
1t ID almost as good az den1onstra-
ton. The earlier men who can
be said to have behaved like
men were too simple in. their
ways, needs and surroundings 70
cali for much social organization.
For things 30 common and ele-
mentary as shelter and sleeping
places, they were about a. much
dependent upon the bounty OF
nature as were the beasts with
which they lived. A. dry cave or
deep cavern was as good as g.
palace to them and formed their
chief place Of refuge and shelter.
There, in the later stages OF the
"Stone Age" they developed their
artistic instincts and skill. From
flint and horn and ivory they
made ingenious tools and 3mple-
ments, some for fighting, some
for culinary purposes: some, like
bone needles, for domestic work,
such as garment-making.
They lived at last In consider
able communities among large az.
gregations Of neighboring caverns,
as in the Vezere Valley in France;
but government, in anything like
our sense of the word, probably
was non-existent among them.
Though they had no rulers re-
sembling the kings of later times,
yet chief men, or leaders, they
naturally had, as even savages
recognize the innate differences
OF quality that exist among men
and take advantages Of them. for
the common benefit. Thus the
germs Of royalty may have been
planted In these primitive COM
munities, whose members, never
theless, were by instinct strongly
Individualistic.
Evidence OF POmp
The priestly origin Of the early
kings seems to have been already
foreshadowed among the cavern
jewellers. Many significant re-
mains of ceremonial objects indi.
cate the prevalence Of religious
ideas, customs and superstitions.
Some Of the cavern paintings and
sculptured or moulded figures Of
human beings Or animals, are
thought to be religious symbols
rather than pure expressions OF
the artistic or initiative instinct.
The sacred character and priestly
function formerly attributed to
kings seem natural developments
from pre-existing ideas OF that
kind, which may have been born
in the uninstructed minds Of the
inhabitants Of the gloom-haunted
caverns that were mans first
fixed homes.
Reindeer and horses, as well as
- fierce carnivorous beasts, were
familiar contemporaries Of the
cave jewellers. but while 1t may
be assumed that some Of the
more tactable animals were
domesticated, there are no indica.
tions that the great carnivores
were more pacific in their rela.
tons with early man than with
his sophisticated descendants.
Who knows but that the first
human who earned for himself a
prehistoric throne was one whose
stout heart and strong hand
conquered, with the arms of
Samson, a man-hunting lion or
the caverns, or a still more Tor"
midable saber.toothed tiger? In
the eyes Of his more timid COM
panions he would become both
god and king.

first half of their 36-hole third round
match in the Professional Golf Asso-
citation championship today.
Harry Hampton of Memphis, Tenn,
finished the first half all square with
Johnny Farrell of Mamaroneck, NY.
Leo Diegel of New York holed out
on the eighteenth up on Abe Espi-
nosa of Chicago.
AS in all his previous matches.
Hagen opened fire by winning the first
hole with birdie to Doyle's par S,
the latter being trapped near the
green. A trapped ball also lost Doyle
the fourth, but he came back to win
the fifth when the champion required
three puts. Hagen's irons were not
responding with their usual criSpness
and he required one stroke over par,
81. or the first nine.
Farrell got away even better than
the defending title holder, rolling in
a 50-footer for an eagle to win the
first hole. He also took the fourth
and fifth to become up, but Hamp-
ton shaved his advantage one hole
before they reached the turn. Far

closed with win on the home hole,
when Hagen fell short with his ap-
proach and failed to chip up closely
enough for his par 4.
