wolves on the drivers, but practically all the major repairs are done by the mechanics attached to the company by the French army. All ta1e cooking and serving of meals is done by French soldiers, detailed to that sec- ton alone, while the clerical work
 orders for supplies, extra calls for cars and so forth is completely hand
 led by a French lieutenant with a force of clerks all detached from the regular army. In speaking about the
 service which the am0ulances are rem
 dertng, Mr. Woolyerton said: sTn al-
 most every place we've been it was found that the small size of the Fords
 permitted Us to go a lot nearer the lines than the larger French ambu-
 lances which we replaced. We found
 that this more than ter-balanced
 the lack Of big, roomy bodies and
 powerful engines. 1t can safely be said that in many places the wound
 ed have been saved long, rough rides
 in horse carts by the fact that there is hardly any road in France which is
 impossible for a Ford. About once
 every week it is so arranged that ey-
 cry car goes on twenty-fou duty,
 which means running up as close as
 possible to tle third-line trenches, and
 bringing the wounded back to the dressing station. This work some
 times, is a bit exciting and is usually
 done at night, for some of the roads
 are more or less in sight of the enemy
 Plans for the erection of a memorial
 to T. L. Shevlin, 1906, have been
 started by the members of his class.
 committee consisting of Bruce Smith, of Chicago; Edwin White, of
 St. Paul; and Wilson McClintcock, of Pittsburgh, has been named by Edwin
 Rogers Enbree. Secretary of the class,
 to investigate the question of a me-
 morial and present plans and ideas to
 the class NSlen it meets in New Ha-
 ven. The Class of 1906 has it's decen-
 nial reunion tkis June, when the na-
 ture of the memorial will be decided
 upon. At present, it is not known
 definitely what sort of memorial will
 be erected although a track house has
 been favored because of Shevlin's fame as an athlete.
 Not the least interesting of the
 events of the celebration next October, will be the Latin play, which the classical department proposes to pre- sept on Friday evening preceding the 1 pageant. A comedy of Plautus, The Mostellaria, will be given in Latin by 1 fifteen undergraduate Latinists. This comedy-frst presented about B. C. l 20e-is one of the best productions of 1 PlaUtus, The attempt will be made to produce the play in the same man. ner ir which it was first presented. ! 1CA4OIIuAdlGly IH6 DST1OImanC0 can not take place out-of-doors,-as was l the case in PIautus' time-owing to the pressure of more important events, 1 but, in all other respects the presenta- l tion will adhere faithfully to the tra- dftions of tile Roman stage. The cos | tumes, the songs, the dance of Plau- l tus' time will be copied from ancient forms and illustrations. D. S. Moore, 1 of the Music School, has consented to write the music. s. W. Burke, 1917, 1 president of the Dramatic Association, has undertaken the difficult part of | 'Tranio." The managers of the Uni versity Dramatic Association have 1 consented to look after the manage
 ment of the performance. The instruc- 1 tion of the actors will be given by the professors of the Latin Department l The actual direction of the play has
 been placed in the hands of Professor

 During the past two years the Pea i body Museum research expedition has 1 been conducting explorations in Ne
 braska. The skeletons of a number of | prehistoric animals have been un- 1 earthed, giving valuable information
 with regard to prehistoric animal life l in North America. Especially note- l worthy is a prehistoric elephant, the 1 complete excavation of whfot2 has oc- | cupied the Yale geologists for two l years. The Yale Nebraska expedition sent out from the Peabody Museum in 1914 had the good fortune to locate the remains of Q large prehistoric elephant not far from the town of Hay Springs l It was necessary for the main party te | push further west in order to accom- plish the exploration which had beer planned, so two men were left behind l to complete the excavation, but wit instructions to join the main party moi later than a given date. The worl was carried forward energetically ant l all of the bone removed which coult
 be got at without extensive eHcava 1 tion of cliff 18 feet high, and thert 1 the matter rested for the season. Las
 summer a second expedition left New I Haven in order to complete the worl l of the previous year. It is, however 1 not complete, so that with the presen I crowded condition of the exhibition halls in the museum, the authoritie, I are not justified in attempting tt T mount more than huge fore limb T some Il feet in height at the top O .i the shoulder blade The specimen vii nevertheless throw much light upol
 the anatomy of certain of the prehis
 toric elephants formerly so aJbundan
 in North America, and in this wa.
 will prove an accession of great valul to the Yale collection. The quarr7 also produced the remains of at leas
 two kinds of horses, camels, beaver
 and other creatures which were con
