Solutrean workshop im the foothills of
the Pyrenees in southern France is

men of approximately 50,000 years ago
fashioned tools and out of
flints and quartzite extended over sev-

forest. J. Townsend Russell, collabo-
rating archeologist of the Smithsoni-

passing through the forest over a rain-
washed cart track. His attention was
drawn to some obviously man-made
flint flakes, and

Victim of Heat Freezes
His Ears With Dry Ice
Chicago.~Karl Marvin froze his ears
while the temperature stood at 07 de
grees. Like hundreds of thousands of
other persons, Marvin was seeking ways
to get relief from the heat. It oc
curred to him that it might help to
put ice on his head. He tried regular
ice, but It melted and the water ran
down his neck. Then he thought of
using dry ice. A few minutes after
he had applied the dry ice, his ears
began to burn and turn white. A doe
tor informed him that they had been
frozen,

In the restoration of the colonial eity of Williamsburg, Va. by John D.
Rockefeller, Jr, the work on the Raleigh tavern has just been completed.
The photograph shows the Apollo room, most historic room in that tavern,
as it Is today. It was the scene of colorful social festivities during the Eight
eenth century, and in it, according to tradition, was organized in 1776 the
honorary scholastic fraternity Phi Beta Kappa. ,
