FEATURES of INTEREST to WOMEN
Mr.. Kohl Speaks
Several occasions have

several occasions nave arisen
when pupils have asked to be ex-
cused to attend a church service.
Mr.. Kohl informed the assembly
the other noon that he had made
arrangements with Father Plachta
and Father Mayors that the pupils
should attend church outside of
school hours.

that the civic authorities were 60
ing to do their utmost to keep the
younger boys away from the pool
halls. He asked that everyone abide
by the city law so that no one
would get into trouble.
The pupils should take this speech
to heart and try to make the condi-
tions better.

SAHARA CARVINGS
100000 YEARS OLD
italian Expedition Believes
Rocks Bear Trace of Once
Advanced Race.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
TRIPOLI, Tripolitania, North Africa
Giant figures staring down from the
parched, cracked surface Of huge rocks
in the heart of the Sahara are believed
by italian scientists to tell story of
10000 years ago, when rivers coursed
through the now arid wastes and
abundant vegetation supported animal
life and an advanced race of mankind
An expedition headed by Prof Lido
Cipriani of the University of Florence
has returned to the remote Fezzan
region to seek definite proof of its
theory that man originated there. It
came out of the Fezzan a few weeks
ago for brief respite, after discovering
the images and tribe of peculiar ma
tives who are believed to be descended
from the ancient people.
Among the figures, some of which
are 20 feet high, are several repre-
sentations Of the ''M'luritanian bull. u
In the fantasy Of Herodotus, the father
Of history.
Stories Long Handed Down.
He told of it five centuries before
Christ, but even his account was based
on stories that had been handed down
from distant times.
Prof. Cipriani believes that the bull
roamed the verdant plains of the now
desert region at the beginning of the
quaternary period. 1t is pictured on
the rocks, together with other pre-
historic animals known to have existed,
and with animals existing today in
other parts of the world.
erangs-now found only in Australia
tributed through the sand valleys of
zigZa and Massauda, which, it is be-
! lieved, once were river beds. The scien-
fists estimate that the rivers dried I'D
fully 1,500 centuries ago, forcing the
inhabitants. with the exception of few
OF the hardest groups, to trek to other
parts of the world, and obliging the
animal population also to migrate.
Sure Images Were Carved.
Cipriani feels sure the images were
carved at the time the region was the
animals habitat.
Some of the animals have solar discs
between their horns, indicating that the
ancients were sun worshipers.
The Mauritanian bull described by
Herodotus had enormous horns that
became entangled in the brush when it
attempted to Craze while advancing,
forcing it to walk backward while
eating. The description exactly fits
the images found on the rocks.
Discovery in some of the remote
oases of the Fezzan of a people con-
Serving physiological traces that dis
tinguish them from all other known
races gave the scientists their first idea
that the region may have been the
cradle of mankind.
