In the middle of June Mr.. Smith started from
Omaha and went west into Converse County Wyo
He accompanied bK Robert F. Glider

The two scientists covered nearly two hundred
miles in central Wyoming and carefully studied
the vast prehistoric quarries known as the span

Mr.. Smith made extensive notes of the territory
and secured hundreds OF photographs besides ship
ping the American Museum hundreds of roughed

set OF these quarries Saw Mill Canyon, upon
which a scientist had never before looked
Besides making examinations of quarries. The

section of Wyoming. and visited scores of shop
and village sites Mr. Glider was compelled to re-
turn to Omaha but Mr.. Smith continued across
the entire state Fort Hall, Idaho. the trip being
made on horseback.
While in Wyoming Mr.. Smith was greatly inter-
ested in the famous Record Rock immense cliff

An Effective Initial

I N1TIALED or monogramed linen and

these days of steam laundries and wash

household articles may be marked with
lndelible ink, but somehow the most in
delible has fashion of fading out; be-
sides, it is distinctly ugly.
While most women like handsome mi
tlals, not all care to put either the time
or money into embroidery. Even cross
stitch is something of burden to the
overrushed housekeeper
For such busy people, very quick
and effective initiating can be done by
working the letters in a heavy outline
with a white mercerized floss. and then
going over and picking up each stitch
with a thread of a different color.
This marking is especially liked for
towels, and is very striking either in
red and white, or a bright dark blue
and white. AS the work is necessarily
not so heavy as the more solid embroid-
cry or cross-stitch, it is well to use more
than one initial.

two-inch hem, which may be stitch

tier if briar-stitched in a floss to
match one of the tones of the flowers.
In each corner a simple spray of
daisies and forget-meno should be
drawn. Almost every woman, if she is
without artistic ability, has some
friend who can trace her a small un-
elaborate bunch of such flower
Work the daisies in narrow yellow

baby ribbon, couched with gilt
