Strange But True

as in n MII'.Arthur

How we would thrill to learn the true facts of the human race from '.hc first man to the present.

We turn to history but the know- ledge it imparts is faulty and 1;-agnientary. Like the legends and myths handed down from genera- tion to generation it is not always trustworthy because it becomes garbled in its passage to us.

The period of historic time dates back about six centuries to the earliest written record yet found. What happened before that is slirowded in mystery. Yet the old world and civilization must have been ticking for a long time. to build up remarkable civilization such as existed in Egypt and t'hina. The wealthy people of that day were exquisite jewels. dressed in fine linens, used marble baths, cosmetics and perfumes, and drank Lhc finest wines.

It is quite obvious to anyone who has studied history that such civilizations did not mushroom up

at-or night. They could only have '

rczltlilcd their prime by many cen- iurics of growth. the gradual ac- cumulation of a vast storehouse of knowledge and experience.

Geologists are firmly convinced that man has been a resident of earth for at least half a million pearsl. Compare that immense span of time with the mere 6,000 years that the story of mankind has been recorded. and what we now call 'ancient' history seems only yesterday.

Perhaps the most entertaining and instructive chapters for all we know - are entirely missing. Per- haps at some time during these half million years a civilization more advanced than our own came into being and then for some un- known reason to us slipped back into a Dark Age. Maybe they rode ill automobiles, listened to news (il.:'lS over the air, piloted the rk:,v.'ays or sailed beneath the sea; in sub-boats. They may even have communicated with the liv- ing creatures on other planets. If uc could come by the missing chapters of the human story what I ”scoop" that would be. The un- known has always aroused man's curiosity and puzzled him. Just to think of the blank past stirs one's imagination and makes us want to put together the jigsaw puzzle of A dead past.

Oxygen would burn us up if it was not mixed with the nitrogen we breath. The average human takes 20 breaths every sixty sec- nnds.

The earth draws a vast amount of heat from the sun. so that in very hot weather we get two sources of heat, namely, the sun and the earth.

Poinfing Clouds Stunt Is Failure

CLEVELAND. (AP)-An attempt to publicize a new lipstick by tpalntlng" clouds over Cleveland

red went swary Tuesday when the clouds came out a sickly pink.

According to the plan, a chem- lcal solution sprayed from an air- plane was to have turned the clouds into the same color as the lipstick.

Instead, the spray produced long streaks of red which rapidly faded into pink and disappeared com- pletely in brisk winds. !

A disappointed press agent said the lipstick manufacturers are look- ing for calmer skies elsewhere for their stunt.
