Slxty-three years ago, scientists
dug up human bones near q cave at
Predmost, Moravia in heart Of
Europe. Other scientists later came
to the same district, and found bones
OF both men and animals. All told,
20 complete human skeletons were
dug up, along with scattered bones
which had belonged to other per-
sons.
Hundreds Of flint spearheads and
stone knives were buried in and near
the cave, also bones of reindeer,
bison, wild cattle and bears.
Along with those remains were
skeletons which had belonged to

animals of the elephant family.
What kind Of animals were they. and
what were they doing in Europe?
A small ivory figure helped to
answer the question. The ivory fig-
ure was rudely cut mammoth!
Scatched on the outside were many
lines, and the lines almost surely
were meant to show hair on the
outside of the mammoths body.
Mammoths were hairy elephants,
and Europe had great numbers Of
them during the Stone Age. Figures
of mammoths were made by Stone
Age artists In other parts of Europe,
chiefly in France, and their bones
have been uncovered near various
caves.
The remains of more than 900
mammoths have been found at
Predmost. and that area must have
been center of men whom We may
call mammoth hunters" In Africa
some of the natives eat elephant
steak" and mammoth flesh no doubt
was good to eat.

moths might fall Stone pointed
spears perhaps helped to slay the
big beasts which were caught in
that manner.
Present-day elephants have little
hair on their bodies We may see
a few bristles here and there, If we
look closely, but at a little distance
an elephant seems to have no hair.
With that the case, how are we able
to say that elephants of Stone Age
times had thick coats of hair? Might
artists of the caves have been in
error when they put hair on their
mammoth figures?
Those questions we'll might be
asked if the actual bodies of man.
moths had not been dug up. Several
of their bodies have been found in
Siberia, with flesh, bones, hides and
hair saved in frozen ground. 1t is
clear that they were Of the same
race as those which were hunted In
Southern Europe near the close OF
the last glacial period.

an extremely dangerous card for
West to keep in his hand. BY that

the best hope of defeating the con-

West should therefore have dropped
the queen under South's king. He

consumer, white collar, church, social
welfare and veterans groups met here
in an emergency conference called
by the Congressional Committee to
Protect the Consumer.

packed the caucus room of the
House office building in lively
demonstration of the united sup
port workers from farms, factories,
Offices and kitchens are giving to

noted the meeting when he warned
that grave crisis of initiation
threatens because of the possible de-
feat of the subsidy program to hold

Consumers by and large are
slow to get organized to express
their views on legislation" Scan
lon said. ''To those of us who are
here in Congress it is apparent
that the enemies of subsidies are
much more able to organize their
forces swiftly. Down here during
the last month we have seen one
of the greatest lobby campaigns
on the part of big business special
food interests and certain selfish
farm blocs that has been known
in the history of this house, all
asking one thing-higher prices
at the expense of the consumers
pocketbook.''
But consumers were beginning to
make up to the danger, Scanlon said,
citing the tremendous" volume of
'pro-subsidy and anti the high cost
of living" now pouring into every
congressional office. This was con-
frmed by Rep. Will Rogers, Jr. Cd.
