INSECT AS AGENT OF DESTINY
Theories to Account for Death Of
Enormous Creatures That Once
Roamed the Earth.

To account for the death Of those
enormous creatures which once roamed
our western country and peopled .ts
swamps and forests, the older gealo-
glsts devised convenient theori IS,
such ms changes Of climate, volcalici
disturbances, warfare among the spc1
cies.
AS Information accumulated. 1t De-l
came harder and harder to make tnei
theories fit the case. Given time idi
animal life adapts itself to changes of
climate. Movements OF the earth arei
seldom so widespread that flight c.p-i

one Of snfety. If giant lizard fought
mountainous mammal, why did the SUI
viyor go? Theory, 1t was seen. must.
be in keeping with the law Of probably
tiles. A new and more reasonable e.
hypothesis has recently been brought,
forward.
At the time that nature was exper.~
menting with monsters, there existed 81
lake in Colorado. II was surrounded
with forests which were tenanted BIZ
hosts OF Insects. A volcano buried the
lake and its shores in ash. This hard-
ered into stone. Scientists 60 to this
ancient graveyard, split the stone AMI

the butterflies and moths, the beetle 3
and bugs. Among these insects are
two species OF tsetse flies. There IL
nothing line them in America today
But in Africa they abound. They are
Known as the carriers Of the sleeping
sickness. one of the deadliest OF dis
aoses. IT is fair to assume that the
'setse flies Of Miocene times were thk
.osts or distributors Of disease bacil;i
IS they are new. Upon that assumption
new theory can be constructed: The
tsetse flies developed into terrible
pest. AS they fourished, their victims
grew less. In the course Of centuries
the bulky citizens Of plain and mars.l
gave up the warfare. They could tighs
,ne another and yet live They could
lot deal with nierciless insects.
The theory has this merit whatever
slse 1t may lack. II Is plausible where
IS predecessors succumSed to clearer
thinking. g.--Toledo Blade.

FRIGHT WORD" " OFTEN
HARD TO CHOOSE
Study Of Dictionary is Profitable Habit
Tor Business Men

Inability TO choose the right word
often place speaker in an embarrass-
ing position. Many business men lose
much valuable time because they find
it difficult to express what they want
to say when they dictate their cores
pondence. Greater freedom and ac-
curacy in speaking and writing can be
acquired by studying a dictionary A
few minutes devoted to the study of
words and their meaning each day will
in short time result in great benefit
to anyone who viii put that practice
to test.
The New Universities Dictionary
being offered to readers of this paper
is particularly adapted to aid those
who wish to acquire greater familiarity
with the English language. 1t con-
tains all the new words which have
come into common and proper use in
recent years. its definitions are sim
pie and accurate. making IT possible to
choose words that will best serve the
purpose Of correct speaking and writ
ing. Many Of the new words that
have been brought into use through
such specialized activities as war, avi.
alton. golf. baseball and other forms
Of sports have been conveniently clas
sified in supplementary dictionaries.

New Talking "Movies.n
@SAG8

Application has been made for a
patent on a very elaborate device
which would produce a combination of
the cinematograph and the photograph
to give US moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea of such pictures is not new.
but the difficulties of synchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
By synchronizing is meant the exact
coincidence of the motion picture, pro-
jected by one machine, with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters, which IS produced by quite an
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant, the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech Of
the character is transmitted by wire
less telephone to a photograph whose
complex receiving mechanism is syn
chronized with the movements of the
moving picture camera.

LAWNS NOW POTATO FIELDS
VelVety Parks of the Show Places of
France Transformed to Meet
Economic Crisis.

The rare American tourists who visit
the chateau of Touraine in France
may find the velvety parks of the
most interesting show places trans
formed into potato patches.
Aristocracy has taken up the ''tuber
campaign" and, beginning with the
Countess of Noailles and the Duchess
dues, chatelaines all over the coun-
try have promised to dig up their
lawns and plant vegetables Flower
gardens, also, will be consecrated to
the solution of the economic crisis.
The rose, the vine and the orchard
are not to be touched, but all annual
flowers and all green swards must
give way to the democratic potato in
the interest of the national defense.
Since there is not enough labor for
the farm lands already under cult
walton, the temporary release from the
army of greater number of farmers
and the importation of more Indo-Chi-
nese and North African labor is ex-
pected to count more effectively in
solving the agricultural problem than
the efforts to transform the chateau
parks into vegetable gardens.

Royal mail boats between Denmark

tie exclusively for use in Norway are
captured Gy German u-boats, brought
to German forts and no satisfactory
explanation or satisfaction given.
A Norwegian steamer, the sThorum"
il coast traffic, chartered by The Nor
wegian government itself With cargo
OF hay to relieve the fodder famine in
the northern part of the country. was
stopped by German u-boats inside the
3-mile line, that means in Norwegian
waters; the Norwegian flag was lower
ed, and the German flag run-up. as
the German u-boat chief declared the
steamer a German prize, because of
lack of special clearing papers. A
Norwegian torpedo boat arrived. the
Norwegian captain declared that as the
steamer was in Norwegian waters, she
was not liable to be seized by German
u-boats, ordered the Norwegian flag
flown again, and the German ensign
lowered. After some argument, how
ever, he yielded to the German view
and allowed the steamer to be taken
as prize to German port, and the
Norwegian flag for the second time
was displaced by the German.
This happened May 16 and, upon an
Interpolation in the legislature re-
garding this affair which has turned
the whole press and public opinion
more anti-German than ever, Minister
{ Foreign Affairs Ihlen answered that
the governments protest in Berlin and
tile assurance of the steamer being a
government chartered boat has only
met willingness to straighten out the
affair and give satisfactory excuse
On the contrary there was no prospect
of the ship being released in the near
future, as the case would be tried be-

ALL MUST BE ABLE TO READ
Exemptions in New immigration Law
in Favor of Russian Jews Multi
fled by Revolution.

The new immigration law assumes a
new interest in view of the changed
conditions in Russia.
This law excluded all alien immi-
grants more than sixteen years of age
who cannot read some language. But
1t exempts certain Misconceptions
that are inserted mainly in the interest
of Russian Jews. Any immigrant who
can show that he comes to the United
States to escape religious and eco
nomic persecution is admissible wheth-
err he can read or not.
This is the motive that has impelled
practically all the Russian Jewish i'm
migration of the last 30 years, says
Worlds Work. Thus the new immigra-
tion law, had conditions remained in
tact, would have excluded practically
no immigrants such as congregate in
large numbers on the East side of New
York. With the removal of all re-
ligiOus and economic disabilities in
Russia as a result of the Russian revo-
luton, this claim can no longer be
made, and Russian Jews will now have
to be able to read, like all other i'm
migrants.

There is no fruit that lends itself

1t may be evaporated or dried and
kept an indefinite period and then
cooked in much the same way as
fresh fruit. There are also many by

used according to its age and stages
of fermentation as sweet cider, haro
cider or vinegar. The whole apple
and even the parings from the evap-
orators.are used for apple butter, jel-

Coin Works Electric Fan

There is now on the market an cleo
trio fan which can be operated only by
placing coin in its slot, whereupon
it operates for certain length of
time, according to the amount of cur
rent which the owner desires to supply
for the money paid, says the Scientific
American.
When a coin is dropped into the slot
a clock mechanism is wound up in the
base of the fan. For a nickle, for in
stance, the fan may operate one hour,
either constantly or internationally, ac-
cording to the wishes of the user. Sew
eral coins can be dropped in at one
time, insuring several hours use of
the fan.
