STONE AGE MEN KNEW COLD WEATHER Many of the clothes you wear and the things you use are the results of inventions inspired by what? That’s right, the weather. Good needles were in use in the Stone Age. and people made warm clothing out of dressed skins twenty thousand years ago, and a bodkin purchased in a department store and used for the illustration of this story today differs in no essential respect from a Stone Age needle. The thread of those days was probably reindeer sinew, but it is not impossible that twisted vegetable fibers were used. The Stone Age in Europe was

a time of bitter cold weather. Scandinavia was under ice, like Greenland is today, and the mountains of Switzerland, France and Spain were white with snow the year round. Wild reindeer and wild horses were the source of food and clothing. There were other animals too. The hairy elephant was known and perhaps the woolly rhinoceros was not yet completely extinct. Great herds of wild bison, like our American bison of the Great Plains, roamed the plains and forests. Cave men hunted all these animals for food, but they had to share their hunt ing with such ugly beasts as the cave bear, the Siberian wolf, the

Montespan, in southern France, the snow tigers once made such pests of themselves that prehistoric magicians made clay statues of them, to be later riddled with spear thrusts, in an effort to kill by magic where ordinary fighting had failed. These lance-riddled tiger statues still exist. Men of the Stone Age needed good strong serviceable tools and ' clothing. They had them we know .for many of the relics that have come down to us are tailor-' ing tools and shoe-making tools, awls, needles and stone knives for cutting leather, as well as the usual stone spear heads and stone a> blades. Science says that once a good, invention is made it lasts as long thf cnnrijHnn« which !t continue. The cave men left numerous drawings of how they dressed—and they dressed to suit the bitter cold weather. Clothing of this same type is worn by people of northern Siberia, where the ice Age is still going on, to this ‘ very day. QUESTIONS Q What does it mean when two cloud formations move in opposite directions? What do the two opposite winds indicate? H.W. A. There are always two layers of cloud in a storm. The rain and storm clouds are low down and temperature clouds high up. A wind high aloft from the south is a carrier of warm weather. Usually the denser rain clouds below hide the upper winds from our view. I). Is it not true that with the proper humidity in a room that a temperature of 70 degrees is sufficient? Mrs. L. Mcl. A. Yes. It is comfortable below 70 degrees if the humidity is left high. It saves fuel. Q. Why are some clouds gray and some clouds white? A. H. A. All clouds would be gray if they were thick enough. White

clouds are thin with not much water in them. When clouds are so dense they are thin with not much water in them. When clouds are so dense they cast shadows, they look gray. IS THERE LIFE ON THE MOON?
