ALPINE CAVE MEN GRAPPLED
WITH HUGE BEAR. USING WITS
Yale Professors Party Unearths Evidence
of Habits of Hunters of
Early Days.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. GALL, Switzerland, December 10.
The "cave man OF the Alps " the In
trepid hunter Of a hundred thousand
years ago, possessed no small degree
of intelligence when. armed with only
his trusty club, he overpowered gigan.
tic beasts in their own lairs.
Discoveries made by the party sent
to Europe by the American School OF
Prehistoric Research, under the direc'
ton of Prof. George Grant MacCurdy
of Yale University, have established
that point.
The primitive culture Of the man
who lived during the last interglacial
period in the rocky caverns OF the
mountains, sometimes at an elevation
of 2,45O meters above the sea level, is
shown by the evidence that although
forced to rely on clubs exclusively for
hunting he was not inferior to the Ne
anderthal man as a hunter. There
was no flint in the region in which he
lived and he had to use inferior stone
of very little service as far as provid.
ing weapons was concerned.
Attacked with clubs.
His most common game was the
huge cave bear. To modern man, u.s.
ing firearms to bag much smaller ami.
mails, the performance Of the prehis-
toric hunter against the creature is ac-
cepted as proof that the heavy skull of
the early man covered a certain
amount Of grey matter.
The usual method of attac OK seems to
have been hitting the bear with a
wooden club on the base OF the sensi-
tive snout to stun him. then dispatch
ing him. A certain number of ami
mails skulls show the noses crushed,

WEST END WOULD
ABOLISH COUNCIL
Executive Committee Urged
Instead of Citizens Ad-
visory Group.

A resolution to seek the abolition of
the Citizens Advisory Council and to
have substituted for it a special execu-
:ive committee ito work within the
federation of Citizens Associations"
was adopted at meeting of the West
End Citizens Association in Corcoran
Hall of George Washington University
last night.
The resolution was adopted upon
motion of Grover w. Ayers, who
charged that the council during the
past year voted in favor Of several
congressional measures pertaining to
The District of Columbia which had
l'een voted against by the federation:
that Ii holds secret meetings; had
hearings on several bills to which
only those in favor of them were in
Nited, and that all the work done by
ii can be handled within the fedora
fion He also declared the council had
spent a third of the total revenue re-
ceived by the federation from the
various citizens associations as dues.
AS proposed by Mr.. Ayers. the asso-
citation voted to have the executive
committee, to work with the fedora
tion. chosen from among the members
OF that organization.
Another resolution was adopted to
request the Director of Traffic. NJ. c.
Eldridge. to limit the speed of heavy
trucks travelling over New Hampshire
avenue between Washington and Du
pont circles to 10 miles an hour, and
not to permit them to run on that
thoroughfare before o'clock in the
morning.
The latter resolution was ado~+ed.
following charges that houses along
the avenue are being damaged by the
vibration from the trucks, and that
The noise made by them travelling at
greater speeds than 10 miles an hour
is Objectionable.
J. r. Jones, chief clerk of the West
End post Office station, in brief ad-
dress asked the association to CO.
operate with the Post Office Depart
ment In urging people to mail early
for Christmas. The association voted
10 comply with his request.
1t also was decided at the meeting
80 ask for an investigation of the
alleged cause of delay in the delivery
OF local mall sent from the associa-
lions territory.
Seven new members were installed.
They were Wallace Bryant, George F.
Moss, Paul F. Florin, John G. Taylor,
ir.; Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hanley and
