Language Of

Cave Men

Words In Use To-day

By ROBERT L, SPENCER United Press Staß Correspondent.

Palo Alto, Cal. Figures of speech which were an integral part of the early cave man's simple language now occupy a promi- nent place in the modern vocabu- lary, uccording to William Hawley Davis, professor of English ut Stanford University and editor of the Stanford University Press.

Davis said the cave men used such figures of speech as "backbiting." |"back-scratching," "skinning alive," "girding up one's loins" and other similar expressions much in USC to-day,

Davis has a collection of nearly 3,000 Ngures of speech that are part of everyone's vocabulary,

"It is somewhat startling," he said, "to And that expressions related to physical combat, including war, which are embedded in our speech, amount to hundreds.

CITES "CUTTHROAT COMPETITION"

"Evidently," he continued, "the suffering, physical and mental, and the nervous tension as well as the glamour accompanying these things nctual or imagined experience make them very forceful when used convey related ideas, 19 in 'cutthroat competition' und 'tactical error."
