American Museum Expedition in Six Years of
Labor Has Unearthed Greatest Collection
of Prehistoric Monsters in the World

@NCE a tropical jungle and marshland, with
lagOons formed by the waters Of n pre-.
historic inland sen, Alberta, Canada. Is
where great fields Of wheat wave In summer.
In this region is found the greatest fossil
dinosaur land known.
For six seasons the American Museum Of
Natural History has been sending expeditions
to this field under the leadership Of Barnum
Brown, assistant curator Of vertebrate paleon-
tology Of the institution. Mr.. Brown recently
got back to this city from the Red Deer River
country after rounding up his six years Of ex.
ploration and collecting. The region has yielded
ID the museum the largest collection of ~cretace-
Gus dinosaurs in the world.
Most Of the prehistoric monsters blasted out of
the rocks and dug up along the banks Of the Red
Deer River by Mr.. Brown date back 3,OOO,OOO
years or 81. During the last three years the
Members of the museums expedition have
worked in the Belly River formation, exposed
on the Red Deer River, and In this region n
number Of remarkable finds have been excavated
by the dinosaur hunters. This formation ex-
tends over n great deal ~ country, but that
part Of 1t containing the greatest quantity Of
dlnosaur remains, and where the conditions
are most favorable to the preservation OF
dinosaurs is exposed near the town Of Steve
Vile. Alberta.

Tin Goddess Atop of
$4,000 Soldiers Monument
Special to the Telegraph

Allentown, Pa, June From the
report of experts whom he had make
an examination, Mayor Reichenbach to-
day stated that the taxpayers had been
mulched of about $4,000 through the
substitution of inferior materials in
the erection of Allentown's famous
Monument in Center Square. The total
cost of the monument was $4,000.
Erected in 1899. this was the first
monument in the country to symbolic
the reunion of the North and South.
Its dedication was the biggest day in
the history of Allentown. Governor
Stone was here, and the formal address
was made by George f. Baer.
Soon after it was found that the
standards were ''bronzed" in
stead of bronze. Now 1t has come to
light that while the medallions and
tablets are real cast bronze, the cele-
brated reunion figure. as we'll as the
Goddess of Liberty gracing the top, are
of a cheap composition, chiefly tin. The
Goddess needs patching up.

She hurried back to the living room,

that looked orderly. and. asked War
rem for some change.
He handed her a dollar, and she
went to Mary with it. Mary good
naturedly enough promised to get
everything. One look at Helen's face
would have melted the hardest heart,
and Mary was genuinely attached to
Helen.
Now. don't you worry. Mrs. Curtis"
she said. soothingly. Just get warm
bath and some fresh things on. I'll get
some cheese and make a Roquefort
dressing for the salad, and we might
have some Strawberries. It'll be all
right; you wait and see."
And Helen, comforted by Mary's
bluff attempt at sympathy. smiled a
little and went back to her disorderly
bedroom. She hurried through her
dressing, unable to find half the things
she wanted, and looking at the clock
every minute for fear the bell would
ring. Mary came in and began to
hustle around the dining room, and
Helen, with a final look in the glass,
called Winifred and began to undress
her hurriedly.
Winifred. with her usual amount
of curiosity asked a million questions.
which Helen answered hurriedly or
absently. She was conscious that the
telephone bell rang, but Warren an
swered it, and she could not hear what
he said as easily as she could have
from the old room. She wondered if
after all she had been foolish to
change. And then the thought of the
morning sunlight comforted her. War
rem had always complained of the sun
in the morning. and in the new room
they had the sun after o'clock.
Winifred said her prayers and
hoped into bed. Helen kissed her and
turned out the light. Then she hur-
ried out to Warren. He looked up at
her quiZZically.
ITO bad you had all your trouble
Davenports not coming"
"Oh. Warren!"
Whats the matter now? You don't
know what you want. l thought you'd
be glad"
Helen had sunk down into the chair
opposite him and was ready to cry
from nervousness.

earlier. But I have hurried so and

Warren had taken her into his arms
and told her he was sorry she had

than anything, but as usual he did not

Merger of Three Medical
Colleges Is COnsumated

Philadelphia Pa, June 3. - After
many months of preparation and con-
ferences the details of the union of the
medical school of the University of
Pennsylvania and Jefferson Medical
College and the absorption of Medico-
Chi of this city were made public yes
terday by the representatives of both
institutions having this plan in their
hands. BY the union a new institution
is born, known as The Medical school
of the University of Pennsylvania and
the Jefferson Medical College of Phila-
delphia," and the sponsors for the
amalgamation believe that their action
creates new epoch in American med
icine, brings this city back it's former
prestige as the greatest medical center
in America and establishes the Berlin
Vienna system for students here. Like
wise the united medical schools form
the largest institution of it's kind in the
country.
In addition, Provost Smith, of the
University of Pennsylvania, outlined
the details of absorption of the Med
leo Chirurgical College with institu-
ton. The former college will be
known hereafter as "The Medico-Chir-
urgical College Graduate School of
Medicine in the University of Pennsyl-
vania." The dental department of
Medico-C Chi is merged with that of the
University, while the school of phar-
macy of Medico-Chi becomes the first
department of this sort that was ever
established at the University of Penn
sylvania.

hens are splendid layers of large
brown eggs, and the chicks are Strong
and vigorous and make rapid growth
At maturity the males weigh from u
to pounds, and the females 51A to
6h pounds, although many specimens
exceed these weights. The hens make
good mothers.
In color these fowls are marked
like the Light Brahma, the neck
hackle of the male being striped with
an intense black. The fight feathers
are black, also the tail, and the female
has the same coloration. The mark
of beauty for which the fanciers strive
is to have the back white and the
small feathers covering the base of
the tail a rich black finely edged with
silvery white.

Within the last twenty years fanciers
who have admired the handsome
plumage of the Light Brahma, but pre-
terred a smoothlegged fowl, have
worked hard to produce and perfect
this plumage in our most popular
American breeds. The results have
developed the Columbian Wyandottes
and Columbian Plymouth Rocks The
latter are increasing in popularity, not
only with the fanciers, but with those
who discriminate in favor of a fowl
possessing valuable utility qualities.

Sun Six on Endurance
and Hill Climbing Contest

B. /. Davidson. of the Pennsylvania
Auto Sales Company is Just in receipt
of telegraphc reports from a stock
model 0-passenger sun Light SIX tour
on an endurance and hill-climbing test
in the vicinity of Cleveland and Pitts
burgh. The performance of the car on
the well-known Uniontown, Pa, hill
which is over three miles long was eX-
ceptionally good From standing
start the car went over the crest of
the hill on high gear at a speed of
thrty-siX miles per hour, conceded to
be the best performance on record for
any stock car.
The crest of the Herberton Avenue
Hill, Pittsburgh, Pa, was covered at a
speed of twenty-siX miles per hour
from a standing start.
The manufacturers state that this
performance on the Pennsylvania
mountains is due to the high ratio of
horsepower to weight which the car
possesses.
