[[strikethrough]]Abstract:--[[/strikethrough]]  The use, if not the origin, of the Swastika sign can be traced to prehistoric times, especially the Bronze Age in Asia and throughout Europe.   It is not found in Babylon, Assyria, Chaldea nor Egypt.   It appears in prehistoric times [[strikethrough]]-[[/strikethrough]] among the North American savages and in Central and South America, and is continued in modern times.   It is used among the Buddhists as a holy sign, but is believed to have been generally a sign of good luck, happiness, long life.   The question of its migrations from one country and from one hemisphere is argued, and signs and industries of the different countries are compared with it.
