Hemingway, wen I married The Kid sho

The Kid understands me, he sed to Pa,

Life Before History Began is a Great Study
By GARRETT P. BERVISS.
I have Just ben reading a remarkable
book written by one of thole rare men
of science, who, like Humboldt, recognize
the fact that .knowledge which Is nbi
communicated and made Attractive to
a multitude of
minds Is about as
valueless as gold
and diamonds at
the bottom ot ihe
sea.
The title of this
book, which is
wrlttsn In Frncht
Is "La Prehls'.olro
a la Portee de
Tous," w h c h,
freely translated,
mean i "Prehistory
for Everybody." Its
author Is Maurice

a Thin, Scraggy Throat
(Fton. Pilgrim Magaslne.)
A thin, seiaggy neck Is due to shrink,
age ot thH muscles and fatty tissues,
owing to Iom of proper circulation and
nutrition. The thing to do Is to supply
that whloh U lost. The best woy to
bring a good supply of nourishing blood
to the flabby tissues Is by applying par.
afined plaatoid Jelly (procurable at any
drug store). 8pread liberally over tha
throat; In the hollows, behind the ear
and back on both sides to where the
hair begins. Also smear It under and
wall up dsr the chin, that the Jelly
when dry may form a better support
tor the loose tissues. Kjep this on at
least fifteen mtnutts, then remove with
plain water , .
The tightening and solldfylng effect
ts remarkable, and the Increased circula

telle you the results are not entirely of
a temporary nature. Use this harmless

The horsewoman of the west (you meet her on a bend of a high
mountain road you ask your way of hor on tho; prairie trail tn New
Mexico and Arizona, across sage and pine, over mild farm land of
the middle west, over the placid rivers and the mild, gentle hills of
the far east over all that lies between them) tho horsewoman of
the west looks into the oyoB of the horsewoman of the east. And
they smile! For they are Ihe pick of tholr kind and thoroughbreds,
and, can afford, to be gracious, as beauty can afford to -the sweot to
beauty. In the euBt and the west alike the Nondescript rider fills
the bridle paths, rigged out more or less alike, though perhaps 'you
will not believe that. You can scarcely tell one from tho other savo
in their degree of bad riding. But tho thoroughbreds, horso and
rider, eaBt and west, tho crack players of the riding game, stand as
wide apart tn looks and -manner as the poles. Only in these things
are they "blood"- their perfect "form" of so different a kind, their
oneness 'the girl and tho animal between her knees, the fear they
never know and the hearts that beat beneath shirts and chestnut
hides! ......
East has her shor-backed pony with his threo-quarter bobbed
tail; her slippery little eggshell of a saddle, hor short stirrup almost
as delicate and clean-cut as an engagement ring, her thorough
vented truth retired behind a curtain
and "hletsry" began.
I can hardly Imiglne anything morn
fascinating than the six great chapter!
of "Prehistory" that science has dug
out of the alluvion ot old valleys and
brought to lixht from the darkness ot
abandoned caves In Europe, Asia and
Afrjda.
These chapters are respectively en
titled "The Chelllan Epoch." "The
Acheullan Epoch," "The Mouterlan
Epoch," "The Aurignaclan Epoch," "Thi
Boiutrlan Epoch" and "The Maidaleniat,
Epoch," all of these names coming jrorr,
these of places In France where the flrsv
rellci of the men who lived In thot
mystefceus asei were founi.
The reader would do well to fix thesi
nanus and the order of their succession
In his memory, for "Prehistory" Is des
tlned to play a great part In future edu.
cation, when men have thorough y got
rid of absurd prejudices agnlnkt the
facts of their own origin. Jn read'ng Mr.
Eieteens' book. I have had a day-dream
0' the cloudy m rnlng ot humanity.
1 have seen passing before mo "Homo
Prlmlrenliis" man In . tho earliest type
cf his klnd-stooplna Jlke an apo. with
his erhe Inclined forward and his legs
brck-ard, In the terrible attitude of thi
muiche en flexion, "walking with bent
I ack.' So walked tho Chelllan man, and
the Acheullan man, and the Mousterlar,
mm, or hundreds of centuries. Ho man)
ages were required to straighten thi
human spine and glVe It a backward
curvel
Yet this crook-basked Homo Hrlml
gonlua had A glimmer of light In his flat
brain, In the Chelllan epoch he began tc
pound flints and shape them (nto rude
tools and weapons, same of Uirm sc
crude that It Is doubtful whether naturt
or man did the most In forming, them
In Chelllan times he lived In a tem
perate) climate, out In the open, seldom
Venturing Into caverns, as his successor
habitually dd.
In the Acheullan epoch the olimata hod
turned cold and damp, and he took more
friquently to caves for shelter, although
still preferring the valleys of rivers for
his dwelling places. Among the animals
he knew and feared were the huge
elephas antlquus (ancient elephant), tho
hippopotamus major, far greater than
the hippopotamus of today; the big cave
bear, larger than the gristly, and tht
cave hyena, another momter of primeval
times.
With the dawn of the Mouterlan epoch
when the climate was it'll cold and
damp, came andther form of elephant
the elephaj prlipljenlus to take thi
place of his predeceHor while the rhlnoc
eious tlchorlnus, with manc.llke hair and
bsny bulkheads In Its stout horns, also
appeared to keep company with Home
Prlmlgenlus. Ho had by this time madt
same progress In fashioning tools and
weapons from flint, but thos' were still
ery crude "ecraperB," "smoothers" ami
rude spear and arrow heads.
The Aurignaclan epoch showed furthet
advance In the ehaplne of stone tools
Homo PrlmlgenUs was growing lntc.
Homo Faplons (intellectual man). Hit
bran was larger and better shaped, hit
lace was lets brutal, and ho began tc
think about something else than his next
dinner. Art now made Its appeurancu
and, having begun regularly to Inhabit
caverns, from which ho could now drive
tho animal, with his Improved weapons
man began to adorn his home. Ho made
rude engtaVIngs on Ivory ,and reindeers'
horns, and avon attempted prlirltive
statuary representing the Vetiuscg of h'.s
time. '
Then came the Boiutrlan epoch a verj
wonderful age ot relatively brief dura
tionwhen ait languished and war and
the ohase came to the front. Bolutrlar,
man Invented a new weapon, which
k:ems t3 havo do delighted htm that he
could think of little else. He made tools
ar.d weapons of flint that are often ox
dulslte In their shapes and workmanship
but especially he devised tho "polnto a
cran" a flint spear head with a sharp
point and keen cutting edges, and fur
nJ.sl.ed with notched butt, which renderel
It easy to attach the shaft of a tpear oi
arrow.
Yet thete fierce Boiutrlan warriors and
hunters also showed their ingenuity by
Inventing bone needles with heads plercDd
for the thread. With their "polnte a
cran," the forerunner of the bayonet and
tho pointed projectile, and their "eyed
needlet," the predecessors of the mod
ern sewing machine, they made their
short age one of the most Interesting
In tho whole career of humankind.
Tre last chapter of "Prehistory" Is oc
cupled by the Magdalenlan epoch, whor.
the art spirit once more asserted Itself
although progress In tool and weapon
making continued. To engraving and
sculpture, painting was now added, a!
thovgh there had been rude atttempts at
this In th Aurignaclan epoch. Hut tht
large paintings In fevcra) colors that
have been found In nnt-lent caverns oc
copied by Magdalenlan man are often ol
genuine artlttlc merit, showing that at
last the human rase had begun to ap.
predate and use the sacred (rift of tht
Imsg nation.
In running over this brief .tery of
primeval man It is essential to remembu
that all these things, al this slow and
gainful progress, took place long before
there wa any history. The six epochs
that have bean deicrlbed occupied al
together probably several hundred thous
and years. This long period In man's
growth cannot yet l dated in oonturies
and probably never will bo, but the
proof of Its Immense antiquity is too
overwhelming to bo questioned.

Why People
By DOltOTHY DIX
New York Conservation Commissioner
B. E. Klttenhouse.aske, "Why aro thero
moro than teventeon million unmarried
men and womon In tho United States?
"Never," ho says,
has a nation been
so prosperous, or so
within reach of
the comforts and
luxuries of life.
Yet people do not
marry. There Is
something wrong.
What I It?"
Thro are many
reasons why people
do not marry. One
Is the high cost of
living, for while
tho nation Is un
doubtedly prosper
out, the golden
stream doesn't
wash by every
man s door to an
extent that enables
him to support a family In any decent
comfort.
The main reaon, however, that there
has been what Mr. Wegg called a de-
I cllne and fall off In matrimony Is be-
cauto people have begun to Use thelt
heads, Instead of their hearts, In de
ciding the matter. Cold logic has super
seded tho matting Instinct in dealing
with tho problem.
In former times men and women mtr
rled simply because they were attracted
to some member of tho opposite sex
Whether they could feed or clothe a
family, or whether they were likely to
bequeath some terrible Inheritance to
their offspring did not enter Into their
calculation. They went It blind, without
regard to consequences to themselves
or any one -else. Now Intelligent men And
wo,mcn comlder before marriage whethei
they have a right to marry and bring
Into the world deformed and diseased
ch'ldren. or children that they will hav
to sell Into child slavery because of pov
erty. Also men and women are bacomtns
afraid to marry. They see that nine,
tenths of the marriages In the world
aro are failures, so far as bringing ah)
happlnes to either husband or wife, and
so they decide that single blessedness It
better than doubled wreti-hedness.
Only a few days ago a brilliant young
physician, who has already achieved
suceees. said to me that nothing on earth,
after what he had seen of matrimonial
misery through the practise of his pro
fusion, could ever ltduce him to marry
He rerognized that the Ideal marriage
was the happiest lot on earth, but the
rhan-cs against It were too great He
Don't Marry
was playing no hundred. to-one shot at
happiness.
And the same theory hold good at
the other end of the social lino. The
other day a largo manufacturer sent me
a letter that was as curious and Inter,
estlng a human document as were the
letters of Grace Drown. This letter had
been written by a little untaught mill
girl, who was only 17, but who, In some
way, hod fathomed the depth of the
philosophy of modern life. It was written
to her sweetheart, breaking off her en
gagement to him, and It fell Into the
manufacturer's hands through one of
his stenographers having written It for
the girl on the typewriter, and a car
bon copy of It having been left lying
about
The letter, In part, ts as follows:
"I have wanted to tell you that I
cannot marry you, and you know the
reason. I hope you will not think hard
of me, and will understand why, under
the circumstances, I must refue. We
both have our living to make, and you
know we could not get along on what
y6u make now, the way living oxpensns
are. It was different when our fathers
and mothers married; people then wera
satisfied with less, and there were not so
many things to soe, and go to, and to
buy.
"I know you think you could do with
out somo things, and I believe you would
try, but, after a little while you would
begin to wonder if you aro getting
enough to make up for what you had
given up. You know our friends are nol
all married, and they would still he able
to go and do things when we could not.
You and I would still be young folks
although we were married, and I think
wet would both feel bad when wo saw
the good tlmei our single friends were
havlnf, and which we used to have, and
could not have any more. Why cannot
we still bs good friends and sweethearts,
and wait until you can get Into pome
little huelnesi where I could help, and
we would have more to work on?
"I am writing this to you so you can
not Interrupt me until I am through.
I know you love me, and It Is nice to
be loved, and I think you know I love
you, but wa cannot marry now. It would
make us both miserable."
In this letter you have the reason
why most of the lT.OOO.OOO men and
women In this country who are unmar
ried don't marry, They love. They
would like to marry, but they have
faced the fact that it takes bread and
butter at well as sentiment to keep a
house going.
