Azilian Man
Ignorance anion"; newspaper reporters and head writers
regarding primitive man is even more dense than it is con
cerning evolution, if it be possible. Monkeys seem to be on
their brains for the Dayton trial was called the "monkey
trial," though monkeys have nothing to do with evolution,
and now we have the erudite Oregonian referring to the
relics of primitive culture found by the Andrews expedition
in Mongolia as "ape-man" relics.
The stone implements, weapons and ornaments found of
a forgotten race on the desert of Gobi he calls the "dune
dwellers" are classified by Dr. Andrews as belonging to
Azilian culture. He also reports a few relics from the still
older culture, Mousterian, both of which are cultures of races
belonging to the old stone age and arc not to be compared in
antiquity or primitiveness to the semi-human Neanderthal
race that inhabited Europe in glacial times or to hue human
races that followed them.
The succession of human cultures as agreed upon by
anthropologists divides the old stone age into lower and upper
palaeolithic periods, the former covering the glacial periods,
the latter the post-glacial. In time the periods extend from
perhaps 500,000 B. C. to 10,000 B. C.
The lower palaeolithic period begins with the l're-Chellean
culture, after which follows the Chellean, about 100,000
B. C, then the Acheulean or transition to shelters, then the
Mousterian (Fourth Glacial time), about 40,000 B. C.
The Upper Palaeolithic opens with the Aurignacian cul
ture, the beginning of post-glacial lime, and witnesses the
arrival of the true genus homo in the Cro-Magnon race of
hunters and artists, about 25,000 B. C. It is followed in
succession by the Soliitrcvin, Magdalenian, (close of post
glacial time) 10,000 B. C, and Azilian-Tardenoisan about
10,000 B. C, which ended the old stone age and ushered in
the new stone, age, or Neolotliic, the age when polished stone
replaced chipped stone in weapons and ornaments.
The Azilian period, of which Dr. Andrews found remains
in Gobi, was the age when the stag had replaced the reindeer
in Europe, the final stage of the "Cave Period" with
weapons and art inferior to the previous culture. It gets its
name from the great cavern of Mas d' Azil in the foothills
of the Pyrenees, 40 miles from Toulouse. The culture
deposits contain flat harpoons of staghorn and painted
pebbles of enigmatic geometric designs, which may have
had symbolic meanings, or have represented beginnings of
an alphabet.
So the Azilian man, far from being an ape man was the
immediate predecessor of the neolithic men from whom the
present races of Europe are descended, and Azilian blood
probably flows through our veins today.
The Verdict
The coroner's jury, after an extended investigation, found
that lack of discipline at the stale penile!. tiary was resjxuisi
hle for the prison break and battle in which (wo guards and
one convict wero killed and anolher ijuard wounded, and
three convicts made good their wtaway in broad daylight.
However the coroner's jury failed to place the responsibility
for the lack of discipline.
What is u coroner's jury for, except to place the responsi
bility for murder and crimes it investigates and "give a true
verdict thereon according to the evidence?"
However if the jury was unable to place the responsibility
for the lack of discipline that was responsible for the break,
which was responsible for the murders, the public labors
under no such inability, for the evidence presented the jury,
as summarized in our news columns, is convincing enough
for most anyone not a political partisan or a member of
the jury.
If lack of discipline was rcsixmsiblc for the break, the
person in charge of the prison must be responsible for this
lack of discipline and the conduct of the institution, n
responsibility that has been voluntarily assumed by the
warden.
It is well enough to blame the building for being old, to
blame the legislature for not expending more money in its
improvement, but the fact remains thai such scenes were not
enacted in the prison when it was not in nearly as good
condition as at present, and that, without discipline, a new
prison would not hold the convicts.
When the prison work-shops burned, ways and means
were found to rebuild them. If the construction of prison
towers or other repairs are necessary to keep the prisoners
in, ways and means could be found for their construction.
There is an abundance of idle labor that could be utilized
and an abundance of brick available. i
Nor can politics be blamed altogether, for politics has
given us competent as well as incompetent wardens but in
the present instance, the politics of the administration can
not escape its share of responsibility.

that they were tricks! But this

Two minutes later they were
talking about pigs!
Patricia couldn't remember after
ward Just how It had started. He
had spoken of how warm the eve
nlng was, and said that he had
just come from his farm where It
was much cooler. She had asked
about the farm, and the pigs had
followed naturally.
"Fifty llttlo fellows, beauties
born Inst spring, and you should
ee them now," he exclaimed enthusiastically.
"What do you feed them ? My
father bought some for our place
in the Berkshires two years ago
iiid we had to buy every bit of
feed and the neighbors contribut

ingly. "S used to make the rounds

'Turned mine louse in the corn

That's the easiest way. What kind

lily of the field and you know

Hewitt nnd Andrew returned. Mar

Patricia, their heads close to get ti

woman who always expects to find
hor husband flirting and is never
dismayed by continued failure.

itt, flirting a purple feather fan
that swore at her henna' d hair.
"Though I would like to be back
at ours for tonight at least. Our

cluded reproachfully, looking at

"Oh, not tomorrow, surely," said
Andrew. It would be fatal to let

Andrew looked at Patricia des

HERE'S AN ACT NOT ON
THE BIG SHOW PROGRAM
"Hey, Jimmy! Come on, quick,
and ace what's hajpenin' to dc
coicus goll. Hully gee! De hippo'i
swallerln' her whole!"
And like as not you grown-up
youngsters would travel Just ns
far as Jimmy, were you summon
ed to witness such a sight when
tho greatest show on earth comes
to town Saturday, August 29.
But it Isn't true. That Is to say,
Lthe picture which accompanies this
talo of the Rlngling Brothers and
Bnrnum & Bailey circus press
agent wasn't snapped as you sec
it reproduced here. It merely rep
resents what is known as "trick
photography."
Both of the subjects are with the
combined circus. The little lady
is Lilly Lei t gel, who was this spring
officially recorded as the world's
"greatest aerial gymnast." The
hippopotamus la Soudan, father of
the Hinyling Brothers and Bar
num & Bailey youngster hippo,
"Tiny Toodles." Miss Leltzel nnd
Soudan are close friends. And now
that the giant fellow Is a proud
parent, he is unusually amiable.
Still he and Lilly are not quite as
"close" as the illustration repre
sents. It was like this: The circus
photographer first made a por
trait of the hippo. Next ho posed
Mlsa Leltzel- in a swing. Then he
made a double printing and so ob
tained this startling result. Soudan
and family will receive afternoon
and night in the red and golden
cage that stands in the center of
tho menagerie tent u'hen tho cir
cus comes here. Miss fVilzet heads
the list of more than S00 human,
performers who will add thrills to
the three-hour program. This em
braces tho world's finest trained
dred and fifty thoroughbreds in a
magnificent "Equine Ballet," to
gether with other big features nev
er before shown in America.
