AK DEALS BLOW
TO OUR "CIIRIS"
Columbus Hard Hit by Its
Discovery.

Ethnologists have always believed
that Columbus was only about 200
years behind the first man to reach
the Atlantic seaboard. That-though
the population Of the American con-
tinent started soon after the last Ice
age when tribes from the other side
of the world crossed Boring strait
and filtered slowly southwark to in
habit continent-the first roaming
citizens of the Atlantic seaboard ar
rived from the West only a short
lead ahead of the man who has
credit for finding the New world.
But discovery of primitive stone
ak, dug up in Albemarle county, Vir-
ginia, is serving to upset this theory,
in the opinion of officials of the
Smithsonian institution, who say that
former ideas of when the first In
habitants reached the eastern shores
Of America are unsound. They now
believe that man trod Virginia soil
something like 1000 years ago.
Students of the races read run
ming story in this new ak that is so
old. 1t was no more than out of the
Albemarle county soil that had con-
cealed 1t so long until 1t began re-
citing its tale of age and strange
races. Specialists who understand
these things say that the primitive
ak was Clipped out of black disabase
rock by some savage American 20
centuries ago and that in time, pos
sibly because of disuse, it became
dull and was sharpened again by
new and better informed chipping,
possibly some 1900 years ago. Then
it was lost for good so far as the
stone AK age was concerned, only to
be found by scientists of new day
and age, who knew how to interpret
the signs of discoloration and wear
and other circumstances to determine
age and the part earlier races had to
do with the population of this side of
the earth. These readers of signs
leave no point for layman argument.
They just move back population his
tory and we agree that that Is that.
But it does lay a burden on Column
bus. He thought, or may have
thought had he lived long enough.
that he missed virgin discovery by
only 200 years. And we know on the
evidence of present-day science that
he missed it ten times 200.-St. Louis

THOSE GRAINS OF
SAND THAT MAKE
SO MUCH WASTE!

ut isn't the mountain ahead that
wears you outfits the grain of
sand in your SHOE"
Service said that. And in those
words we have summed up the great
est waste and the most continuous
waste in the world, Of the powers of
men and women.
1t is only when we are detached
and therefore it is usually about the
affairs Of other people-that we see
this terrific waste of power that goes
into the petty little annoyances of
every day and detracts from our
chances for the big things.
Probably the larger part Of this
waste is on the part of women.
Through longer freedom from detail,
and longer training in larger affairs,
men have built up defenses against
the frustrating army of little things.
Men in business, upon whose sue
cess depends the livelihood of others,
have had to learn to keep their eyes
on the goal, on the big object, and
not let themselves be diverted by the
petty annoyances of daily routine.
The trouble with those little things
that hold you up on your way to the
mountain, is that at the moment they
seem to be very big things. True,
they are not always so simply dealt
with as the grain of sand in your
shoe.
You know, of course, how easy 1t
is for other people to dispose of the
things which bother you. "But If
they had the same problems" you
say! And there may be the secret
of it all. With other peoples troubles
we have detachment, which gives
perspective. and a better sense of
values. If we could just detach our
selves momentarily from the annoy
ances which are standing in our own
way. and SO get perspective on their
real Importance. we women, too,
should be able to discipline ourselves
into keeping our eyes on the noun
tain ahead and our feet on the road
to it by Kidding ourselves Of the tor
turing grains of sand.

data last summer, undertook to ex-
plore aold cemeteries and copy names,
