ADDRESS' ARCH AEOLOGIC AL
SOCIETY ON INDIAN
LIFE IN TEXAS
Dr. Ronald Olson of tho American
Museum Of Natural History waB a
visitor to SlmmonsTon Monday morn-
day. Dr. Olson viitcd tho Summons
University Museum 'while at tho uni
versity paying .special attention to
several of the collections of artifacts.
On Monday night ho talked to the
members of tho Texas Archaeological
and Paleontological Society giving a
most interesting resume of tho spread
of culture among the tribes of In
dians who inhabited this country be-
foro the-coming of tho wblto man
The prehistoric culture of the
Southwest extended north into New
Mexico Colorado and Nevada with'
some evidence of its existence as far
cast as tho Pecos in Texas Dr. Olsen
said. Tho civilization was based
largely on agriculture its peoplo in
most respects were about twice as
civilized as were the Spaniards who
conquered them.
Tho early inhabitants of this port
of Texas however were not so high-
ly civilized thoy dependod for exis-
tence upon hunting. Buffalo meat was
plentiful so there was no need for
them to farm. Their cultural attain-
ments are represented in rude flint
artifacts found at widely scattorcd
camp sites. '
Tho FJains Indians wcro with ono
execptiop the lowest cultural type
though they wore hemmed in on tho
southwest by the highest American
culture and on tho cast by thd culture
oftho Atlantic seaboard.
Tho lowest types of'lndlans which
inhabited North America wcro the
California Indians who were the very
dregs of prehistoric society. They
woro 'called "Diggers" because they
were so crude that even in tho days
bf '49 they dug roots for sustenance.
Dr. Olson found much of interest
in a number of sites ho visited and
in tho collections of various members
of tho society.

By Fy
Since time 'has begun the young
girl had dressed to please herself
much to tho astonishment of the older
generation She wears tho styles ex-
treme takes up any fad that suits
her while her mother grandmother
and aunts sit and gasp To these
older women her laws of modesty are
hard to understand.
Recently the stockingless fad has
developed. The first few girls that
dared to venture in public with bare
legs were severely criticized by so-
ciety. Therefore this talk made it
more thrilling to go without hose.
While these young girls were go-
ing without hose for evening . they
began to wear socks for sport. The
flapper offers 'two go'od reasons for
going without hose i s

recently been used as a maternity
homo for cats Tho brown cat that
has been running nround the campus
since tho close of tho spring term
found her a new homo when tho book
salesman who has his office in the
lobby of the scienco hall put an old
box under tho tablo ho Tteeps his
books on.
- A school teacher a prospective
buyer asked to seo some history
books. Thq salesman reached into the
box and saw somo bright green eyes
sparkling In the darkness of tho box.
Further investigation royealcd that
there were four little kittens snuggled
closely to tho old mother cat.
Is Economical

striking so much of her body tho

Second This fad is economical.
With the money a girl spends on hose
sho $ould buy more dresses hats
shoes or however sho chooses to
spend the money The girl that pays
ono dollar and fifty cents for a pair
of hose will saye between fifteen and
twenty-fiye dollars a year. While
the giri that can pay two dollars and
fifty centa for a pair of hose will
save between twenty-five and forty
do)Urs a year by going without hose.
