She dressed herself in the pieces abandoned by the hunter who had found better And this regime, to which the ego- tism of the male subjected her through some thousands of years, hardened her so well against the cold, that she gained forever her faculty of living in semi-nudity.
 Stone Age ensembles consisted chiefly of goat-skins and vegetable flores, and the fappers of that day adored jeweiry, stringing sticks and stones and teeth and claws on threads and thongs wearing them about their necks, arms, legs and hips. They also carved neat holes through their ears and noses and stuck all kinds of trNkets through them.
 The Romans spread their dress with their civilization over Europe, but clothes, more or less as we know them to-day, may not be said to have existed previous to the 14th century.

A foreigner mailed the bomb ad-
dressed to Franklin D. Roose-
velt, Washington, D. c." Govern
ment authorities, assigned to the
case, said today, after studying
the handwriting on the package.
Other than this, the agents re-
fused to reveal any clues they
may have to the identity of the
man who mailed the bomb to the
President-elect from Watertown,
N. Y, on Monday.
The bomb, received here last
night and discovered when the
wrapping on the package broke,
would have done little damage If
it had exploded.
Had Bird Shot
1t consisted of only q single
shotgun shell Of 16 gauge, with a
detonator attached to 1t by a
corroded wire. The shell carried
only bird shot, it was said, and
unless it had struck the person
opening it directly in the face
would have done little damage.
Despite this fact, every Gov
ernment agency was put to work
to trail down the perpetrator of
the second attempt on the life
Of the PreSident-elect in a week.
When the package, wrapped in
plain brown paper, came from
the mail bag, the other wrapping

U.N.SD Excitement ran high as
Secret Service operators arrived in
Watertown today from Washing

cation into the identity of the per-
son who mailed the homemade
bomb to PreSident-elect Roosevelt

The Secret Service men pre-

Mr.. Roosevelt in the last 48
hours during the course Of his
conferences here with Ambassa-
dors Lindsay and Claudel.
Discussion of debt reduction,
according to best available infor-
nation, will be subordinated to

ranged. Il. .'.
Determination Of Mr.. Roose-

LOWER TARIFF
SEEN.CERTA|N
UNDERHULL
New Secretary of State Known
as ,Adamant Foe to High
Import Barriers

Major steps in worldwide ad-
justment Of tariff barriers, trade
agreements, and currency prob
lens may be expected early in
the Roosevelt administration, in
the opinion of those who are
following closely the makeup of
the new Roosevelt Cabinet and
the Senate adjustments that &C
company it.
Senator Cordell Hull, the new
Secretary of State, is known as
one of the tariff authorities Of
the Senate, probably its most
outstanding advocate of lowered
tariff barriers throughout the
world.
He was an irreconcilable foe
Of the present Smoot-Hawley
act. which resulted in retaliatory
tariffs against American goods
throughout the world.
Swanson for Navy
Hull's appointment is expected
to be followed shortly by the an
nouncement that Senator Claude
A. Swanson of Virginia Is to be
the new Secretary of the Navy.
Swanson is said to have in
formed the President-elect by
telephone last night that he would
accept the Navy post, which was
offered him Immediately after
his Virginia colleague, Senator
Carter Glass, declined the Treas
ury post.
His appointment will bring to
the Navy Department one we'll
versed in diplomacy and naval
affairs. He is the present rank
ing Democrat on both the Foreign
Relations and Navy Committee
and was member Of the Am
erican delegation to the last
Geneva Disarmament Conference.
Swanson's leaving the Senate
will have another significant de-
veiopment in that it paves the
way for Senator Key Pittman of
Navada to become chairman Of
the powerful Foreign Relations
Committee. Pittman is the out
standing advocate in the Senate
Of reconciliation Of silver.
Silver Advocate
|, AS chairman of the committee
that considers all treaties, he will
have an influential voice in the
formation of the new administra-
tion'S foreign policies, and there
is scant doubt that it will be
exerted to the upbuilding Of silver
as worldwide currency medium.
Hull is without previous expert
ence in foreign affairs, but
throughout his long public career
In Congress he has been known
as its profoundest student of
tariff and fiscal affairs. For %
years he served in the lower
House before his elevation to the
Senate, where he is serving his
first term.
The TennesSean attained ma
tional prominence as the author
of the first income tax law in
1918. He also drafted the Federal
inheritance tax law ip 1915. His
Congressional service was broken
only once since 1908. That was in
the Harding landslide Of 1920,
when Tennessee went so over
whelmingly Republican that it
washed him out Of office for one
term.
But he came back the next.
From 1921 to 1924 he served as
chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, and his party
service in that troubled period
won him his esteem from all fac
tions. He is 81 years old.
Swanson Ex-Governor
Senator Hull was confined to
his bed today with a severe cold.
His only comment upon the public
announcement Of his appointment
was that he was mindful Of the
high honor and great responsible
ity involved"
