in the forehead which shows that our
friend from Peking had begun to
think. This foreshadows the brain
growth which enabled her descendants
to dominate the earth.
Her chin is lamentably receding,
but her teeth are distinctly human.
She didn't have very erect carriage
and her head must have projected for
ward in a most unbeautiful way.
Doubtless she could talk some, but her
speech must have been very limited.
The men who have explored the
cave believe that possibly the Peking

the skulls are in fairly good condition,

More OF Italy's
Women ON Farms
Than In Industry
Over Million and Half so

By JOSEPH D. RAVOTTO
United Press Staff Correspondent

ROME, May 5.-(UP)-Morc
Italian women are engaged in
farming than in any other occu-
patton or calling in the peninsula.
There are 1,538,669 women in
Italy who work the soil. Although
this may seem surprising ut first
glance, it is to be remembered
that this total includes mothers,
wives and daughters of farmers
and peasants.
Italy is primarily an aglicultm-
al country, as Premier Benito
MuSsolini himself so often has de-
clarcd in his speeches to his
countrymcn. The Ducc has been
Italy'S chief exponent Of the
"back to the soil" movement.
Industrial occupations follow
farming for the weaker sex.
There are 1852, 404 women who
work in factories and shops.
A total Of 2S0,534 women is
occupied in business and com
mcrce and another 2l9,534 in the
liberal professions such as act
ing, singing and women who OPP
crate their own shops.
TEACHERS CHIEFLY WOMEN
In Italy, where even modest
families have a maid, there are
