What the CODY Boy Wrote.

Representative Dan Anthony of
Kansas. publisher of the Leavenworth
Times. once had an office boy who
yearned to know how to use a type
writer-which accomplishment, the
boy figured. would make him a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-down
machine over to him. says the Wash
ington Herald. and bade him learn to
run 1t.
"Whatn writer" the boy asked.
"Oh. just take some sentence, any
sentence at ALL" Anthony told him,
land see how long it will take you to
fill page with II"
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony chanced to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom OF the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac-
tice with was: who the - invent

FIND MANY RELICS
Amherst Men Make Many Dis
coveries In Patagonia.
Biological Expedition Now on Its Way
Homo With Many Scientific Trsas-
ures and After Finding Col
ony Of Prosperous Beers.

New York-After having passed six
months devoted to scientific explora-
ton In the wilds Of interior Patagonia.
the members of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London, bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and fund of interesting ex-
periences.
The expedition, which left for Pata-
gonia ON July 8 last. is In charge OF
Prof. F. B. Loomis OF the chair OF
biology in Amherst college. His asso-
ciates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst.
1911; Layton Turner, Amherst, 1919.
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro-
fessor Loomis by his associates in
Amherst and from Mr. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog-
Ical specimens and gathered much val
liable geological data. 1t has shipped
to the college four more or less COM
plete prehistoric skeletons, 10 skulls
and a large number of jaws, which in
clude fine specimens OF the Eocene-
horse, elephant. rodent, primate,
notostylopus and large variety OF
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party.
Some of the most valuable additions
to geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, in some instances at
levels a thousand feet above the sea.
Amongs these are specimens of petri-
fed trees, some six feet in diameter.
which are supposed to have been
driven In by Atlantic storms of the
prehistoric ages. In one spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft of these huge trees. Members
of the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, alligators and turtles.
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level. Shells of bivalves
similar to the oyster, but a foot or
more in diameter, were found in the
same locality.
The present expedition is the third
OF a series which has been financed
by the Amherst class of 1896.

In the Chico valley the American
scientists came across an interesting
colony of Boer ranchers. With the
same spirit that led their forebears
to trek back into the hinterland from
Cape Colony, when the British occu-
pied It almost a century ago, some OF
them have emigrated to this new
country rather than live under Eng
lish domination in the, Transvaal. In
Patagonia they have found country
not unlike that of their old South
African homes. They are all sheep
growers, for the shrubbery, sparse
though 1t is, seems to supply sufficient
sustenance to make that industry
profitable. In some localities, Mr.
Turner writes, the Beers form SO
large a proportion of the population
that Boer phrases and words are be-
coming part Of the colloquial Ian
grnge.

cures Promises From
Students.

The Hammond high school was shorn
of all vestige of anything pertaining to
fraternities and sororities yesterday
when, Supt. c. NJ. Mcdaniel asked and
received written promise from every
high school student to the effect that
he or she would in wise be instru
mental in forming organizations of this
nature.
Regular high school fraternities and
sororities have been extinct in Ham
mond for some time, although the boys
early in the school year had organi-
zation of this nature. But this too has
been disbanded, although the high
school faculty had a standing invita-
tion to be present at any meeting or
initiation.
Supt C. NJ. Mcdaniel in order to pre-
serve the democratic spirit in the
school, and Furthermore to make sure
that the Hammond high school was in
every way complying with the letter
and the sense of the law, secured the
promises of the students. High schools
tolerating secret organizations are sub
ject to losing their commissions.
