gests that the artist meant the man and woman
to be understood as standing side by SD.
The won1an's head is broken off. in o-Inage
done in ancient times. Her ornaments may
still be seen. She wears necklace and around
her ankle Is a bargle.
THE man has boooed hair and a receding
forehead continues the French archfoIo-
gist's description Like the woman, the man
wears necklace and bangle. Both OF the fig
ures have their hands raised in gesture which
might be one OF duplication
But the mos important feature Of the pic
ture by far, is the little barbed point sticking
in the wonan's leg. That dart Is the key 10
the story.
What is the meaning of this strange scene
asks the Count de St. Perier in report to the
French journal LAnthropologie.
It is not fight nor Staying, he reasons,
in spite of appearances. War scenes in Stone
Age art are known, but not one Of them has
ever shown a woman in the fray. Moreover,
he points out critically the attitude OF the man
does not appear hostile.
He concludes: 1T seems more reasonable to
interpret the dart as symbol implying the
idea OF q conquest no Staying involved
The count is thus suggesting that stone Age
lovers employed sympathetic magic 1t would
mean that the Stone Age lover. like the Stone
AGE hunter did not trust to his own strength
and brains in an important engagement he
felt safer IL he had worked q few charms TO
insure victory.

of himself shooting down his chosen bride,

competent feature of American life" by
Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President, in an address here given
out in advance by Socialist headquar-
ters
Advocating his own five-point bank
ing program, the Socialist nominees
address said:
"One is hard pressed to find the
most striking illustration of moral and
practical breakdown of our capitalist
system here in America Nevertheless,
] should give the palm for collapse in
morals and social competency to pri-
vately owned banks in the United
States Of America"
The nominees program for banking
was stated as follows: Specialization OF
the Federal Reserve System; expansion
of the Postal Savings bank; publicly
owned municipal and State banks; the
reserve banks to be empowered to lend
directly to municipal State and Fed
eral authorities which operate Sociallzed
public utilities; and, central financial
administration connected with the Fed
eral Reserve System and also with a
national economic planning council
with steadily increasing powers over
the issuance of credit and the direction
