AMERICANS WALK fl
UPSIDE DOWN AND fl
LIVE IN DARKNESS
Moscow,—A tribe so primitive
that it believen Americans live on
the bottom of the wot Id and are
therefore in darkness, has been
found in the mountain "villages of
the Daghestan by Dr. F. A. Gotder,
of the Hoover foundation.
These people, Dr. Golder said,
think Americans do their plowing
while walking upside down, with
oxen to whose horns candles are
tied. Believing that the world is
table shaped, with themselves on its
top, they feel that the Americans
are indeed unfortunate, because
they are compelled to live in eternal
night.
Dr. Golder said that in many of
the villages delegations greeted him
as a man from the world below.
Some were anxious to know how
Americans managed to get about.
One old gray board, sorely perplexed
by what seemed an unsolvable rid-
dle finally came to the conclusion
tHat, inasmuch as Americans are a
wonderful people, they have taken
a lesson from the fly and learned to
walk upside down.
"They thought I arrived by way
of a hole in the ground, the ladder
to which is kept by the czar of Mos-
cow," Dr. Golder asserted.
These people atill make fire with
flint and steel and use stone ham-
mers and shepherds' pipes. Justice
is administered through trial by or-
deal. The men, who are of remark-
able physique, go about armed to
the teeth, for they are feudists. The
families live in stone huts in the
practically valleyless mountains.
Although the people are Moslems,
the women are not veiled, and be-
cause of the present shortage of
cotton cloth their only clothing con-
sists of simple sheepskin coats.
CAesar Tricked by Cato In the
First Filibuster
During the closing sessions of the
Sixty-seventh Congress ended March
4, filibustering became so common
the librarian at the State Depart-
ment undertook to ascertain how
long such parliamentary strategy
had been in vogue. lie found that
the first record of a filibuster turned
back the pages of history 1,978
years.
friends of Julius Caesar introduced
a bill in the Senate to allow Caesar
to stand for election as consul by
proxy. Senator Cato objected and
held the floor all day and night as he
found that many senators favored
the bill of Julius. When Caesar
heard of it he, being near at hand
hurried into Rome next day while
the filibuster was still on, but Sen-
aor Cato had won, having forced
Caesar to obey the law.
According to I'lutarch, to whom
the State Department authority re-
ferred, Senator Cato took the floor
to "waste time." The parliamentay
trick, however,, appears to be only
about 2,000 years old.
Waistline Cling Designates Back
Of Paris Gowns
Paris,—While the front view of
the latest ball gown brings no blush
to the most puritanical debutante,
Parisian dresimakers apparently
have gone as far as the law allows-
in cutting low into the backs of their
gowns.
So extreme were some of th<'
models shown at this week's "dress
rehearsals" that spectators were
convinced the styles of four years
ago had just turned about, until
closer observation revealed numer-
ous tricKs in making the heavy gold
and silver tissu s that are to te all
the rage this season cling to these
waistlines which are lacking in
gracile contours.
Commenting upon the low backs,
one American buyer suggested that
the extreme designs could be worn
only by well developed girl athletes,
without a twisted spinal column, or
else professional beauties.

CONQUERED THE WART HOG
•'Flivver" Proved Too Much for Pug-
nacious South African Animal
Who Objected to Its Presence
The wild animals of South Africa do
not take kindly to such uew-fangled
Ideas as "flivvers," as the following
Incident, related by William McStay,
historian of H. A. .Snow's expedition,
which has been hunting big game from
a motor car, will show :
"The wart hog, whose name fairly
well describes his appearance, fought
Snow's machine to a standstill; to the
beast, the 'tllv' was a new form of ene-
my. Snow encountered the wart hog
one day In driving a path across the
trackless waste. For amusement the
explorer chased the hog quite a dis-
tance, when, with suddenness and
ferocity, the beast turned to attack.
With slavering Jowls and grunting de-
fiance the wart hog hurled Itself
agulnst the trusty flivver, the only car-
rier not susceptible to the death bite
of the tse-tse fly, its tusks ripped
the tires. Its hard head battered tlie
radiator.
"Buckward reeled the Tin Llzssle,
trembling in every member. Forward
she lunged again, thwacking the aal>
mal In broad beam. The latter charged
anew, again she retreated and again
she lunged like a gasoline billygoat.
Finally the wart hog gave up the
struggle and went and sat down afar
off, watching the new enemy It could
not conquer. The beat's attitude of
dejection was sutHclent to cause laugh-
tap."
Hudson's Bay Company.
The Hudson's Bay company, Incor-
porated in 1070, connects, by uninter
rupted lineage, the North Amerlcun
wilds of the moving picture set with
the stern realties of an earlier day.
The first records of this stanch ex-
ample of British emprise contain the
following notation of a shipment made
to the company's posts shortly after
the earliest expedition to Canada In
J068:
Two hundred fowling pieces with
powder and shot.
Two hundred copper kettles.
Twelve gro^s knives,
One thousand hatchets.
The copper kettles used today In
these northernmost outposts of clvlll-
sation are practically Identical In de-
sign with those of two centuries or
wore ago.

$5,000 LOST

farm
A farmer managed to save from the earnings of his
during the past five years the handsome sum of $5,000.00.
This was a splendid record and speaks much for the wise
management, industry and economy of this farmer, but like the
remainder of human kind, he has weak spots. One of his weak-
nesses was that of keeping his hard-earned savings stored away
in his cow barn.
The other night the barn burned and—the savings of five
years went up in smoke.

OLDEST ARTICLES IN WORLD
Cnlpijed Stone*, Found In England,
Bslisved to Bo Most Anclont
of Mad* Implement*.
Aocoi'illug to au English antiquary,
the oldest manufactured articles In
tlte world are probably some chipped
•(ones found on the Kentish Weald,
in Kugbinil.
I ttr hack, countless centuries before
nuy attempt at civilization, men were
'Chipping Ntones Into tools and weapons.
Knives, axes, hammers, scrapers,
apearheuds, arrowheads, even awls for
piercing skins, and roughly notched
Saws fur cutting bone were made of
flint or chert or 1 bsldlan—any stone
that would chip to a cutting edge and
hard enough to stand wear.
Some are clumsy things, some beau-
tiful In design and finish, and their
-varying workmanship indicates far
greater differences between the men
who made them than exists between
an Egyptian king of 1400 B. O. and
an English citizen of this age.
Solutrean "laurel leaves," or "shoul
dered poluts"—spearheads from Sonl-
tre, In France—are exquisite things,
graceful In shape and finished in a
manner which would be a credit to
any modern craftwork. Yet they were
made, uceording to some assertions,
over 20,(100 years ago.
Earlier still, Mousterlan Implements
from the cave of Le Moustler, varying
In shape and size, all have the busi-
nesslike wavy cutting edge distinctive
of their period. Centuries before
these the ruder Chellean and Strepyan
Implements were made, their unworked
butts still showing the nntural surface
of the stone. And away back beyond
them, thousands and thousands of
years ngo, In the very dawn of human
lite, were made the "Eoliths" of the
Kentish WcrK).
