Some paintings in Stone Age caves
were made on walls long distance
from the daylight outside. In one
place. artists did their work more
than half a mile from the mouth
Of the cave.
What could the artists have used
for light?
We may be sure they seldom built
bonfres when far inside the caves.
There would have been too much
smoke in any place where there
was no opening for smoke to escape.
Almost all ashes of bonflres have
been found less than Is feet from
the cave mouth.
Torches no doubt were used at
times. A piece of wood or dry
reed would supply a small, flicker
ing light.
In a few caves stone lamps have
been found. They have much the
shape of a thick saucer. A hard
coat of blackened grease has been
found on one or two of them.
Those crude lamps were supplied
with oil taken from animal fat.
Their light made it possible for
some, if not most, OF the cave artists
to see what they were doing while
at work in dark places.
There came a time when people
IN Europe moved out of the dark,
damp caves. They built homes IN
the open air.

West opened the deuce ol uId-
monds, East played the jack and
South won with the ace. This first
play by South was standard false
card, designed to make each oppo-
nent think that his partner might
have the king of diamonds.
But Souths next play was not so
standard. Before drawing even one
round Of trumps, he led small
spade and went up with dummy's
king. East took the ace of spades
and reasoned something like this:
1--WE need three more tricks to de-
feat this contract. My partner may
have the king of diamonds, or the
queen of spades, or a trump TRICK,
or more than one of those tricks.
The chances are that we still need
one or two tricks in clubs"
Thereupon East returned the
deuce of clubs. South ducked, and
West won with the jack. But now
no defense could defeat the con-
tract. If West continued clubs,
South would make his club king,
and if West shifted, South would
draw trunps and discard a club
on one of dummys spades.
Note the difference if South bla-
family wins the first trick with the
diamond king, draws the ace and
king of trumps and then leads the
queen of spades. Then East can see
that the defense needs three club
tricks in a hurry, and he must re-
turn the queen of clubs! And that's
the end of poor South.

Boy Bandit Found
ToBe Same Youth
Shot Years Ago
Arrest in HOltville of
Robbery Suspects
Recalls Former Case

History and a boy bandit
played return engagements
in Imperial county this week.
Charles Sprouse, %, one
of three bandits arrested at
Holtville Tuesday while fleeing af-
ter an attempted ROBBERY in San
Bernardino, is the same person
shot and wounded by Sheriff Guy
Woods two years ago during burg
larry near INLAND.
Because of his youth, the boy
was not booked, fingerprinted, or
photographed two years ago. Law
enforcement officers and juvenile
court officials thought the boy suf-
fered sufficiently on account of the
bullet wound in his leg and several
weeks of disqualification. He was
released to his parents and told
to behave himself.
Two years ago, Strouse, who said
he was Is years of age, and George
Belcher, 16, were surprised while
burglarizing the Sydney Burrit home
three quarters of mile south Of
INLAND in midafternoon. Deputy
Woods was called. The boys fled
when they saw him approaching the
house.
They ignored his repeated orders
to stop and finally he shot the boy
in the leg StrouSe and Belcher led
Woods to a nearby ditch bank where
Sam Dunn, II, was sleeping off

stole the wine that morning from
the o. E. Hasty home.
Early this week Strouse and his
brother, Bill Strouse, jr., 81, and
Elmer Geringer, 26, were arrested
by Police Patrolman Alfred Lyons
as they sped through Holtville in
the car they used in attempting to
stickup a filling station at San
Bernardino. The youths were turned
over to San Bernardino officers for
prosecution.
