EARTH HISTORY TRACED
BY EXPERT BIOLOGISTS
No Remains Of Plants or Animals of
Time Between Cretaceous and
Eocene Periods.

New details are continually being
added by biologists to the known his
tory of the earth. including the de-
velopment OF plants and animals. How
ever. that history, which is recorded in
the rocks, - still frasmentary. like a
badly mutilated book. One of the great
defects in the record in the Atlantic
and gulf coastal plain regions OF this
country is the absence of the later
part of the Cretaceous and the early
part of the Eocene hapters-perhars
eight to ten million years ago. A re-
port recently issued by the geological
survey as professional paper a0S en-
titled The Cretaceous-E -Eocene Contact
in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain. -
by l.. w. Stephenson. discusses this
missing part of tho record and show s
that the break must cover a very long
period of time. 1t is known that at
that time the continents We're at least
as large as and probably larger tina n
they are now. and the oceans were ac-
cordingly smaller. Any rocks that were
then formed in the sea seem to have
been weathered and washed away.

How Discovery Was Made.

one of the fake dispatches from the

Annapolis" AS is well known there is
no such institution at the Maryland
capital. and no one in the military
service was at all likely to make such
a blunder. That discovery led to
quiet investigation which is said to
have disclosed what was actually going
on. Owing to the delicacy of the issues
involved 1t was decided to recall Mai
I.anghorne as the best way out of the
situation.
Although inimical interests are not
loath TO blame German officials for the
alleged misuse OF Mai I.anghorne's
name. it is declared here that there is
no disposition to hold the German gov
ernment in any way responsible for the

Wants Controller of Treasury

FOR FAT JOBS IN VIEW
Only Secretary Provided for by Con.
gress-Others Must Wait Till
Money Is Available.

The federal trade commission intends
to obtain a ruling from the controller
Of the Treasury as to just what its
rights are under the recent acts OF
Congress making appropriations for
the commission. Half a dozen appro-
priations were made. some of them i'm
mediately available and others avail
able July !. Amendments were tackled
on to the sundry civil bill and the gem
eral deficiency bill in the closing hours
of Congress. which leave in minds OF
members of the commission some doubt
as to just what their rights are. These
rights. the commission desires to have
established by the controller.
Interest in the result will extend to
wider circle than the members of the
commission, for the reason that the
question of whether the commission
may or may not at once employ as
sistants depends upon the question OF
whether there will he funds available
to pay such assistants in case they are
appointed.
1t was said today that the federal
trade commission has SO far appointed
one, and that the recently an
nounced appointment: of former Repre-
sentative Stevens as special counsel for
work to be done was. in fact. an aP-
pointnent of the bureau of corpora

Many United States senators, repre-
sentatives and others have appeared in

pointment can be given to some of
these applicants depends upon how the
controller of the Treasury rules as to

Assistant United States Attorney
Given said today that prosecutions for
attempted suicide would have to be in
stituted under the old common law. but
in order to prosecute such a case an
overt act must be shown. Pharmacy
Inspector r. A. Sanders has recon-
mended to the Commissioners the
enactment of a law furnishing persons
for attempting suicide and feigning
attempts.
In his last annual report he renewed
the recommendation of former years.
and in support of his accommodation
said:
Each succeeding year there has been
large increase in the number OF
suicides. attempted suicides and persons
fetgning attempts at suicide with a view
to furthering some selfish motive. Such
criminal acts against society precipi-
tate sorrow. suffering. disgrace and in
numerous instances cause poverty in
the homes of persons committing them.
and the impoverished sufferers fire.
quently become charges upon the Dis
trict of Columbia. Such acts furnish
harmful suggestions to other persons
In q susceptible frame of mind, caus-
unbalanced to act upon the baneful
suggestions before they regain their
mental equilibrium"

charge of the police department his at
tention probably will be directed to
the recommends ton, and it is possible
that he will urge upon Congress the
necessity for the enactment of such a
law
