CHICAGO. Oct. 3l.-If you crave

If less time were devoted to cooking,

syampathising with husbands and

Miss Edna Day, of the domestic
science department, of the University
OF Chicago, waxed epigrammat'c yes

of her own sex in an address before
the Douglas Park Womans Club.
IF more meals were brought at the
delicatessen on the corner and more

less acrimony at the tireside, " was the
keynote of the address.
THE time spent in servlle work
had better be devoted to the cultivat-
ion of sympathy and tenderness, she
added. Though the children may
never be able to tell other women of
the fiaky pumpkin pies. the crisp
doughnats, palatable cookies, and

to call them, were used more for sei1
ing and holding prey than walking
upon them. is shown by the fact that
the fOrefngers terminated in very
sharp claws. A distinct feature OF
this dinosaur is its small serpentlike
head and the long slender neck OF
the same reptilian character. Its tail
was slender and flexible like the mod
ern lizards. In these respects it was
very different from the horned dino
saur, with large head and short neck.
This also was a carnivorous animal.
OF similar form was the large herbi-
vOrouSs dinoSaur.
Why Animals Rather than Birds.
DIR. Lull is very particular to state
exactly what he believes these foot
prints to belong to animals rather
than to birds. THE features which
separate the tracks under considera-
ton from those of Birds he says.
ARE several, though all do not occur
in each instance. They are: First.
the presence of a tail trace which is
unquestionably reptilian. This may
be continuous aserpentine impression.
or series of short straight ones as
though the appendage were raised at
straight line impressing during the
whole Of the animals walk or just be-
fore sitting on its heels. The occa-
sional impression of fore foot is an
other distinguishing character, and the
presence of irregular dermal scutes
or tubercles upon the skin, though
rarely leaving a record, is certainly
not birdlike."
Though dinosaurs are shaped much
like the kangaroo of the present time,
there is no evidence whatever among
the footprints of leaping dinosaur;
that is, one in which both feet leave
the ground at the same time. One very
peculiar specimen of the Hitchcock
cabinet at Amherst seems to have
tried to stop SO suddenly as to slide
for considerable space on its
launches before overcoming its mo-
mentum.
The largest of these erect walking
dinosaurs of the Connecticut valley
was the Otozoum, which had a length
of twenty feet from head to tail. 1t
rarely rested its hands or forefeet on
the ground, sometimes dragging its
tail and at other times holding it clear
of the ground. This animal had a foot
print twenty inches long and had a
stride of about forty-five inches. Most
of the footprints are much smaller,
twelve to fourteen inches being the
rule for the larger species, and dwin-
ding down to tiny prints only an inch
or two in length The smallest marks
are thought to have belonged to little
dinosaurs no larger than cats or small

that gave the numerous indications of
the ancient beings that peopled this
region in bygone days. These indi-
cations" says DIR. Lull, take the
form of impressions of some part of
the body, either of dermal appendages
or dragging portions of the body, such
as traces made by the tail; but by
far the most numerous of all the the
prints of the feet, which render to the
student a fairly complete knowledge
of the size, proportions and habits of
their maker"
Not only can the footprints and
marks of bodies be seen on these
slabs of stone, but the indentation of
rain drops and ripples made by an
ebbing tide 100000 years ago. These
impressions were baked in the plastic
mud by a fierce tropical sun shining
overhead and by volcanic heat from
below. When the tide came in again

5 When Dinosaurs Lived


Some footprints on piece of sand
stone plowed up in South Hadley,
Mass, by a boy in 1902 caused much
excitement. They were at first thought
by the devout people to be the tracks
of "Noab's Raven made in the mud
of the subsiding deluge When some
tagging stones were -quarried in Mon
tague for the streets of Greenfield in
1885 a less religious MIR. Wilson"
called them turkey tracks" Then an
attempt was made to decfpher them
scientifically by DR.. James Deane and
the eminent scientist Prof. Edward
Hitchcock, both of whom joined in
the opinion that they were the foot
prints of prehistoric birds. AS bird
tracks" they continued to be popularity
known for more than half a century.
But developments in technology and
palaeonotology throw a new light on
these mysterious footprints on the
sands of time.
DR.. Richard Swami Lull, associate
professor of the Massachusetts, Agri-
cultural college at Amherst, the emf
nent paleOntolOgist, in a recent me-
mOir issued by the Boston Society of
Natural History, states that these
footprints must have been made by
dinosaurs. The fossils of American
dinosaurs have been found mostly in
the Rocky mountains, and that region
has come to be regarded as the for
mer home of these ancient monsters.
1t now appears that right here in New
England this strange race of animals
lived and f1ourished in countless varie-
ties from the size of a small monkey
to two or three times the height of a
man.
About 100000 years ago, accord
ing to DR.. LulPs calculation, the Con-
necticut valley was a tropical jungle,
in which disported these creatures,
more grotesQue than can now, be found
in an African forest. These creatures,
with the tail of a reptile, the body
Of an animal and the head of a snake,
stood nearly upright on their hind legs
and walked or ran with almost human
gait.
