Mme Gueyian was to tell of her

The emotional climax of the trial was
reached when other private letters were
handed over by Mine. Gueydan to i-'ei-uand

Those who packed the courtroom wit

"Hero la the packet of letters 1 took

returned to her place, many crowded
around her with outstretched hands and
cries of "Bravo!"
M. Caillaux, returning to the bar,
aid:
"M. Laborl was right in thanking
Mine. Gueydau for the letters. The
calumny does not come from us, but

As her husband was speaking, the

Today one point concerning Joe
tmnwW attempted return to primitive
life which has been dwelling In my
mind ever since the demonstration was
mentioned to me settled. I have
wondered time and again what a man,
in going into the woods and beginning
a contest with nature, would find for
his first implement. I now consider it
very probable that the original imple
ment was of stone.
Wood is, of course, plentiful, but it
does not occur in convenient shapes
or sizes. Moreover, any wood that
could be easily broken up would be.
ipso facto, too dry and rotten to be of
service.
Joe Knowles' first action in going
to the woods Is to pick up a sharp
stone. The second is to hack through
u-tr -.r whits cedar, pull loose
a long strip of bark and extract the
fiber. As he presses rorwara into me
forests ho twists this fiber into string
as he walks. Before he has gone five
miles he will have this fiber twisted
into sandals.
