 ed by AuthropOlogiSt

San Francisco, Sept 27 Lp - Existence Of a people of stone age culture on q group of small islands in the Arafura sea, north of Aus tralia. was vouchcd for here today by w. Lloyd Warner, anthropOlo- gist, upon his return from an eXpedi- tion under the auspices of the Rockefeller foundation.
 Warner said he had lived among the Aborigines on the Crocodile islands off the northern coast of Australia. The Crocodile islanders have no religion and have not reach ed the stage where they can use bows and arrows, he said.
 The inhabitants of the Crocodile islands are the last stone age peo- pie in the wCrld," Warner said. "They cook their food in holes among the hot rocks. They have polygamy. Their only weapon is q stone headed spear. The women do most of the work. There is no money, everything is by exchange"
 Warner said the islanders were big and strong, had an elaborate social organization with marked rules of conduct and that their chil- dren were obcdient. They had no liquor. but used q primitive tobacco, he said.
 Warner is on his way to Harvard university.
