Selecting q Beauty

lby EOS
SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O.-Cali-
fornia is to know today the name of
its most beautiful girl. The world is
later to revel in her beauty when her
picture appears on posters advertisinG
the Portola festival soon to be held
by the city Of San Francisco. These
posters will be sent to all corners of
the globe and when visitors come here
to the festival they will be given the
honor Of beholding the original-unless
some importunate sutor captures her
and carries her off before the festival
opens.
Six weeks ago the committee ir
charge of the festival hung up purse
Of 500 for picture of the prettiesl
girl in the state. The committee want
ed her likeness to embellish the poster
Photographs came in thicker than ap-
piications to President Wilson for jobs
For many days the Judges scanned the
array Of glorious California maiden pull
chritnde. The selection Of the most
beautiful girl was as difficult as choos
ing the prettest baby at church fair
with the proud mammaS standing
about. However, choice was made
and CALIFORNIA; girlhood from the I'M
perial valley to the Oregon line. and
from the Sierras to Golden Gate await,
ed her name today 1t is possible the
second choice will be made queen OF
the festival to be held here October %
to 25. An interesting phase of the case
has been the receipt of hundreds OF
| letters from lonesome swains asking
that they be telegraphed the beaute-
Gus maiden's name and address as soon
as the name is made public that they
may wire proposals of marriage.

At the gain Of her new dearer rights.
Her life just unfolding like tender

The veil on her head like a white

REPTILE EQUIPPED WITH
WEAPONS LIKE BIG SAW

WASHINGTON. April 3O.-A new
exhibit Of exceptional interest in the
new building Of the national mu-
scum is that of a skeleton Of an
armored dinosaur, or extinct gigantic
reptile, scientifically termed Stego-
saurus sleeps Marsh. This fossil
monster is OF the Jurassic age and
was found near Canyon City, Colo,
by NJ. P. Felch in 1885. Since that
date it has been the subject Of much
study by paleontologists and for this
reason has remained for long time
uneXhibiled to the public. Now.
however. the various parts have been
assembled under the direction OF C.
w. Gilmore and placed in the rela-
tive positions in which they were or
iginally found.
The fossil skeleton is about twenty
feet in length and weighs about a
ton. 1t is quite complete, nearly
every bone in place, and in this re-
spect is the most valuable specimen
Of its kind in the world. Not only
The bones, but the armored points
and pads are plainly to be seen, as
well as many Of the wonderful plate
like spines which adorned the back.
Nearly all of these plates are present
in this specimen while in other in
stances only a few have been recOv-
cred.
Strangely enough this great lizard
like monster Of the remote past evil
IDENTIFY met his end in some violent
manner, for its bones were discovered
lying in a position which shows that
AL a. ,hn.,
became covered with sand and earth
in which fOssilization has preserved
its bones. AS it is mounted in this
position, views Of the back and up
per parts are to be seen only by the
aid Of mirrors cleverly arranged be-
low it to show these points Of the
frame structure.
The newly mounted dinOsaur is one
of many specimens belonging to the
G.. C. Marsh collection, transferred to
the museum some years ago by the
United States geological survey.
From a restoration Of this same
species OF reptile, which stands on
another PLATFORM one can get an idea
of its probable appearance in life.
The stegosaurs or plated lizards.
are among the most singular Of all
animals. Even in the strange groups
Of dinosaurs they are exceptionally
odi. Their bodies were long and
tapering, beginning al a small, actu-
ally diminulive head, and swelling to
rather thick middle, and again grow
inc smaller toward the long, conical
tail which looked like a combination
of those of a kangaroo and lizard.

A further defensive armor eX-
tended from the head to the tail, in
the shape of a series of large, thin
sharp edged plates, arranged vertical

bic huge crosscut sawblades. When it
is realized that these plates rose from
the back to the height Of two feet in
same cases, that they were firmly i'm
bedded in the beasts tough skin, and
that they were covered with a growth
| of horn, making them still longer, it
may be imagined what n forbidding and
warlike appearance these stegosaurS

The immense and richly decorated

The Importance OF these excavations
IS due TO the fact that some or the
most famous paintings and drawings

were copied, often enormously, from
the beautiful mural decorations which
the removal of the accumulated earth
Is now bringing to light.
Descending from a lovely orange gar
den into the underground passage the
investigators find themselves in the

DR.. Weege identifies the painting
with the touching scene in the "Iliad"

Carraci and the Bartoli, is to be seen
(but without the child) at Windsor.
and has consequently been misdescrib-
ed "Coriolanus and His Mother" An
other scene is likewise drawn from
Homer-Paris and Helen introduced to
one another by Aphrodite and Eros.
DR.. Weege infers accordingly that
these Homeric tableauX were specially
chosen in allusion to Nero's poem, the
