Cavemen Needed To Design
Comfortable Place To Sleep
The animal beat even the
early caveman by several mil
lion yean In the construction
ot a reitlng place, a toft place
to sleep. And man, like most
of the lower animals, devised
and used various materials
that would assure a degree
of comfort, softness, and
warmth. ,
When early man and his
wife started "cave keeping,"
they piled a heap of leaves
in a corner on which to rest
when the day was done. It
was more of a nest than a bed.
Later they substituted a pile
of green, evergreen boughs.
Animal furs were softer and
warmer, but this Improve
ment had to come a little later
when early man had devised
some sort of a skinning knife,
whereby he could remove the
pelt from the animal he had
killed.
' Soft Feathers
Even then, he must have
been bright enough to know
that feathers would be as soft
as any material available at
the time, but he had no way oi
keeping feathers in one place
lone enough to sleep on mem
He hadn't any sort of fab
ric to make a sack to contain
them and every breeze that
entered the musty cave blew
away part, or most of the
bedding. So feather beds were
a Ions way in tne tuiure.
. That early human must
have become just as tired as
does modern man, lor it was
exhausting work chasing wild
animals all over the land
acaoe. The only way he could
secure an animal was run it
down, or get close enough to
hit it with a club. He hadn't
found out about the sling,
the curved throwing stick, the
blow gun, or the bow and ar
row. He had to get his meat
the hard way, by bodily con
tact. So, when night came he
was bushed. He must have
desired layer of some soft
material between his aching
body and the cold, clammy
cave floor.
No Television
And those cave nights were
murder. He had to go to bed
with the sun, there would
have been no point in staying
up, he had no light, no TV,
no radio, no newspaper to read
and no refrigerator to raid
It's a wonder he made it, but
he was as hard as the bed he
had to sleep on.
When the morning came,
after a hard night on his
lumpy bed he would have
been pretty dumb not to have
noticed the wildfowl babies
asleep in their beds of feath
ers. Must be he could have
Imagined what comfort and
warmth they enjoyed. If he
thought about it at all he
must have been resentful of
those insect children, such as
the spittle bugs or the pray
ing mantis that slept so snug
ly in a mass of fluffy froth.
Sack Called Tick
The years rolled past, other
men, in other times, made a
sack from cloth and called it
a "tick," and stuffed it with
some sort of filling. From fibre
of plants, or the softer parts
of the plants themselves, or
from the fur of animals, or
the feathers of birds, he filled
the tick. Various plants of the
field or the forest furnished
materials; he probably tried
them all, for ticks have been
filled with hay, straw, horse
hair, wood shavings, leaves,
and softer materials, like the
fluffy parts ot milkweed and
dandelion.
The softer beds, the fluffy
cotton or the spongy rubber
came later, and even out-slept
the feathers. But even there,
the very best we have so far
accomplished hardly com
pares, In warmth, comfort,
and softness, with the fur
lined bedroom, and fur mat
tress on which the baby rabbit
spends his early mfancy.

horses on Texas farms and

FORGOT HIS PANTS
Denver - (UFD - Monday
night's outdoor concert at the
Red Rocks Amphitheater was
delayed 20 minutes. Then hu
man error caused another five
minute delay. Vaailloi Pria
kos, the conductor, had for
gotten his trousers, having
packed only the top half of
his tuxedo. He hastily substi
tuted a cuffless pair of street
slacks for the missing formal
pants.

your younger sister will want
to do the things you do.
A line must be drawn by
your parents. Your younger

you have certain privileges
she doesn't. When she is your

' Dear Kimmyt I have net
urally blond hair but it is
getting darker. However,
the sun seems to bleach it
and it is so streeked that
I' am constantly being ac
cused of using peroxide on
it. I would like to hare it
tinted to even up the color,
but my mother was shocked
when I asked her, even
though I know she tints her
gray hairsl What can I do?
Embarrassed
near Embarrassed: Who's
older? Maybe this is an ad
vantage of being old.
If you do tint your nair,

I want to go to another

So I made up my mind to
write and ask you.
