You wouldn't think animals fol

PARENTS OF STONE AGE
MADE OFFSPRING TOYS
™ discoveries of Dr. Ivan
Schnell, the Swedish archaeologist,
make it necessary to revise our
opinion of the men and woman of
the stone age. These interesting
finds” show that they were not
lacking in parental or family in
stinct, as is so often though?, but
were fond of their children and
made toys for their amusement in
those long-ago days of the dawn of
the world.
Among the stone age playthTgs
discovered by Dr. Schnell was c
tiny, but perfectly-formed axa, of
exactly one inch long, which a
stone age father had carefully and
painfully manufactured to amuse
his little son thousands of years
ago! They were discovered during
some researches made in the neigh
borhood of Stockholm, along witn
remains of domestic utensiU and
of the meals of the stone age pe
riod.

Hen From Laying
That's What Experts Said And
Thus Saved Betty From
Thanksgiving Fate.
St. Paul, Minn.—Betty, a temper
amental little blonde, whose days
and night3 for the past month were
a nightmare, on the eve of Thanks
giving, escaped the guillotono oy a
proverbial neck.
The chic little beauty—as pretty
a White Leghorn pullet as ever
crossed the street—stood vindicated
for shiftlessness in the eyes of Jus
tice John F. Doyle, because of the
expert testimony of Prof. A. E.
Smith and H. A. Nouric, who knew
all there Is to know about hens
even unto: “Why is an egg?"
Betty, to make a long story short,
was selected out of flock pf 38
hens sold by William Hoover to
Mary Johnson for $52.65 to deter
mine whether they were as Hoover
said: Good layers.”
Miss Johnson had paid the plain
tiff only $30 of the purchase price,
because of the unsatisfactory per
formances of the hens, and Hoo er
brought suit for $22.65.
Justice Doyle ruled that it Betty
laid an egg in one month, the 'lock
should be considered “good layers."
but if she did not, it was ;o the
block with her and Miss Johnson
would not have to pay more.
The 30 daj's were up and lust at
the moment when it appeared that
Betty was doomed to some Thanks
giving board, up stepped Smith of
the University of Minnesota and
Nouric, president of the Ame.ican
Poultry association.
"Betty is a highly prized temper
amental little creature,” the pro
fessor said. "You can't expect her
to move from one home to ano.her
and carry on 'business as i>uaj'"
"The little defendant is in a high
ly nervous state,” echoed N'our1.:.
“All the publicity stuToundi'ig tins
case has made her upset and wor
ried. I beg of the court to let her
go free.”
Justice Doyle fixed a tender err
on the trembling defendant, light
ened up his belt and said:
“Not guilty, but take this parting
advice 5'oung woman: Go lay an
egg.”
There was no demonstration, no
kissed Jurors and no joyful wee pins.
None the less, Betty, the unpro
ductive blonde, was free.
His Mistake.
From The Durham Herald
The editor of The Christian Her
ald, called down by Baptist preach
ers for publishing vicious articles
about the Gastonia textile condi
tions, has expressed a willingness to
visit the Gaston county textile cen
ter and investigate for himself. Hr
disclaims any Intention of slander
ing the mill community and says he
gathered his information from news
paper articles and from a report ny
an investigator of the federal coun
cil of churches. Under the light 01
his explanation and his expressed
willingness to learn the facts, his
unfair article seems to have -<cen
inspired more by a desire to oelicve
the worst, rather than tb discount
the obvious untruths of prejudiced
and Communist writers
E
Ttalcigh.—Every county in North
Carolina will have one representa
tive on the new board of governor.*
of the Carolina Motor club, and the
board will work with the Office’s
and directors In mapping the ool
ieies of the association, it was an
nounced here today by C. \V. Rob
ert*, vice-president of the club. It
i3 believed that this new system
will add materially to the efficacy
of the organization and bring it into
closer contact with the people of the
state. Ballots have already oeen
sent out to more than 21,000 mem
bers, who may cast their votc3 for
any club member in their county.
Ballot boxes will be closed Decem
ber IB.
Election of the board of governors
which will serve as the legislative
branch of the Carolina Motor chib,
was authorized by directors of the
club.
Early In January directors and
governors will hold a joint meeting
when duties of the newly elected
board will be fully outlined and a
plan of action decided upon. Im
portance or a statewide drive, s’ li
cense, an adequate state Highway
patrol force and enactment of the
safety responsibility act as three
cardinal and Interlocking measures
to reduce the staggering toll of hu
man lives and property damage
now claimed annually in North
Carolina in traffic accident;, will
be discussed at the January meet
ing
‘■Although the general assembly
will not convene until January.
1931, public sentiment must tre
aroused to the necessity of decreas
ing traffic accidents.’’ Mr. Roberts
said. "In 1928 there were 675 deaths
on our highways and one out of
every 90 cars registered figured tn
an accident. Other states have ex
perienced an average reduction of
20 per cent, in the accident death
toll following enactment of a driv
er’s license law and on this basis,
it is reasonable to believe lives of
1S5 persons were needlessly sacrific
ed last year.”

HIGH SALARIED EXECUTIVES
HAILED AS GOOD DRESSERS
New York.-—The men who draw
salaries of $25,000 and more a year
! are snappy dressers, says the Na
tional Association of Merchant
Tailors of America.
Anyone who makes that Much
money can afford to be a good
dresser says the average man.
The tailors made a survey. They
found that out of 50 Jobs payio3
more than $35,000 yearly and idled
by New York corporations, 40 vent
to men who knew their sartorial
P's and Q’s.
"There is a distinct splc and .pan
dress movement on In the United
States,’’ the tailors’ group adds
"Clothes that the business man of
five years ago would have classed
as foppish are on the conservative
list today. Back of it is the psy
chology that the successful look be
gets suceees,"
KEYHOLE TO HELP JURY
SEE THROUGH ITS CASE
| London.—One of the most ciuious
exhibits ever seen in an Eng ish
court room was produced when s
k'cyhole was introduced in evidence
in a divo/ee case so that the jury
might judge how much could ne
seen by peeping ihrough it.
The keyhole was in n drawing
room door. Justice Hill allowed tie
whole door to be placed in evidence
upon the pica of counsel that there
was a question of observations hav
ing been made through the keyhole I
and that the Jury might like to ^
its possibilities.
