sustained by the United States su-
preme Court.
The troublesome ghost Of Inter
state commerce law which has tor
mented the States for a generation in
their attempts to adequately protect
themselves from the liquor evil has
now disappeared completely.
The states are now free to enact
whatever laws they choose against
the liquor traffic without the fear OF
complications with interstate COM
merce powers given Congress by the
Constitution.
THE decision Is peculiarly we'll
timed for the Legislatures of most of
the States are now in session or are
about to meet, and most of them have
legislation of one sort or another in
reference to the liquor evil under
consideration"
This decision will go a long way

THE fossil beds of the Great Plains
of North America and other parts OF
the West contain eloquent proofs OF
the richness and variety of mammal
life in this continent at different
periods In the past. Perhaps the most
wonderful of all these ancient faupas
was that revealed by the bones OF
birds and mammals which had been
trapped in the asphalt pits recently
discovered in the outskirts of Los
Angeles. California. These bones
show that prior to the arrival OF the
present fauna the plains of Southern
California sawrmed it'll an astonish-
ing wealth OF strange birds and beasts,
The most notable of these are saber-
toothed tigers lions much larger than
those Of Africa: giant wolves, several

There is reason for believing that
primitive men occupied California
and other parts of the West during
at least the latter part of the period
when the fauna of the asphalt pits
still fiourished. The folklore of the
locally restricted California Indians
contains detailed descriptions of a
beast which is Enthusiastically a bison,
probably the bison OF the asphalt pits.
The discovery in these pits OF the
obnes Of a gigantic vulture-like bird
or prey OF far greater size than the
condor is even more startling, since
the folklore of the Eskimos and In
dians of most of the tribes from
Boring Strait to California and the
Rocky Mountain region abound In

capable of carrying away people in
its talons. Two such condolences
suggest the possibility that the ac-
counts of the bison and the thunder
bird are really based on the originals
of the asphalt beds and have been
passed down in legendary history
through many thousands of years.
Among other marvels our fossil
beds reveal the fact that both camels
