Stone Age Theory Disproved.
The mentis of manufacture nt the
disposal of savages were so small that
arch pot hg 1st were formerly of opin
ion that s stone ax must he the prod
net of the efforts not merely of one
generation but of Severn t, belntc hand
ed down from father tn son, and tak
ing sh.ipe gradually, so that an Imple
ment beun by an Individual might be
flushed by his emndchlld.
That this Idea Is pure nonsense was
proved by the Ute J. I). M --Outre of
the United States bureau of ethnology,
who, developing a hlsh expert ness In
ruth work, mnle flrKt-c)a.ui axes la n
day or two, chipping them out of
hard stone and polishing them by rub
bing with sund and wuter. He even
produced sculptures tn relief after the
pattern of those of ancient Mexico,
using no other tools than stone ham
mers for "pecking" at the rock.
It wus the employment of tools, say
anthopologlMts. that made man whut
he Is. Ills brain was educated through

LADIES' DEPARTMENT
First and Lyon ft Is.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2I.-Are Amer-
i "So." is the answer of 14 out of 15
. returned officers, according to a Y.
j W. C. A. representative here who has
oeen interviewing returning omcers
on this subject.
The concensus of opinion of those
interviewed gives the reason thus:
The French girl is not what American
men call a pal. She knows how to
cook, to sew. She knows how to make
love. She can be a sweetheart. She
is not a pal. Her horizon too oft. n
is limited to the home. Her life is
lived within doors. She can never re.
place the American girl for all around
intelligence, activities and ambitions.
Most of all the American men miss in
her the playfellow they have known
at home the girl with the tennis rac
quet, the girl who loves to hike long
miles and to swim and ride.
Will the men go back to France?
"Absolutely." say returned Amer
icans. "But that is because of the call
of Paris, the carefree life in the cities
over there, the thrill and the romance
of the atmosphere of France. In fact,
most of the men are coming bark to
marry the girls they left behind, and
then they prot-aMy will try to return
to France and take their American
girl wives with them to see the world."
But it may not be ill advised for the
American girl to say to the returning
men. "You'd better hurry." For the
Y. W. C. A. is trying to help the
French girl "catch up" wit'i her Amer
ican sister In outdoor activiti-s. This
organization is sending women over
all the time to teach outdoor sports of
every sort, and even nov mnnv
French girls have discard.! '.'u n.'icli
slandered French heel. In fact t.cre
is a whole island in the I.ni-e River
given over to outdoor life nnd physical i
training.
Over 115 secretaries sre in France
I doing after-war work. The Red Cross
! nurses' huts were built and equipped
by the Red Cross. They were thrn
turned over to the Y. W. C. A. as a
cooperating organization, and the lat
ter has furnished the workers for the I
huts and maintained the upkeep of
them. About 60 secretaries now are
; engaged in this work. With the re
turn to this country of the nurses, the
Y. W. C. A. secretaries thus engaged
probably will be transferred to work
of other kinds.
None but highly trained women are
being sent over by the Y. W. Almost
all who have gone, or are going over,
are college graduates. All have had
experience along some particular line.
Many are industrial experts.
Soiie have been professors in lead
ing colleges. Miss Margaret Morrlss,
formerly professor of history at Mt.
Holyoke college, is at tha head of the
nurses work. Miss Mary McDowell,
known as Aunt Mary of the Stock
yards of Chicago, perhaps more fa
miliar with the twists and kinks In
the woman's industrial world than al
most any other American woman, Ir
" France doing special piec

work for the association. )
Miss Mary Dingman of Now York :
City and Patterson, N. J., who went '
over when America went into the fray
and who has supervised building and
maintaining 16 foyers, is now in this
country and expects to return to
France very soon to direct the Indus-1
trial work. j
It seems probable that If the Y. W.
C. A. is able to complete the program
started in France, French women will
be able to meet American freedom 1
with a new but intensely real French
freedom. I
