I had not taken a dozen steps
into the hall of the invertebrates
before 1 found myself in the midst
of hundreds, yes thousands. Of those
creatures of the early prime, and
others of their day, many embedded
in the hardened mud, long turned 20
stone. which had been their cradle
and their grave.
There before me lay sections of
the bottom of the cretaceous sea,
that once covered millions of square
miles of this home of modern
democracy-the very thing itself. the
very mud and sand of that far-oft
time. now petrihed and marked as
plainly as a child playing on the
beach could mark il, with the tracks
of crawling animals, with the little
pits made by falling raindrops
drops that fell possibly a hundred
million years ago. and with the del
icate curves imprinted by ripples OF
water that washed up and down the
sloping beach with the advance and
retreat of the prehistoric tides that
were already obeying the urging OF
the moon, ages before the brain OF
Newton had been planned by the
Creator,
And spread all over that resur-
rected sea-bed I saw vision OF
strange beauty, a tangled display OF
hundreds of fossilized sea-lilies. their
delicate stems resembling the twist
ed, gold-threaded. cords of a gen
erals hat. and the heads of the
wonderful creatures looking like the
dancing tassels. II was disappoint-
ing TO me TO see many visitors give
an uncomprehending glance at these
wonders. and then hurry on. unim-
pressed and uninstructed

WASHINGTON. oct An pur-
suance OF the suggestion OF the ed
itor OF this newspaper that I should
point out TO millions OF interested
readers throughout the nation some
OF the city 10 be the true iutellectu-
al as we'll as political center OF the
nation, I visited today the National
museum in the Smithsonian grounds
II mean the New Museum" BY
mere chance, I turned 20 tho right
from the south rotunda. and entered
the huge wing of the fossils-the
home Of the fossil plants. the fossil
vertebrates, and the fossil inverte-
brates
Now. 10 seek 10 interest people
in fossils would seem 10 be in itself
the summit of folly, but the chance
that was leading me on appeared
to make the matter still worse by
turning my footsteps directly into
the corridor devoted 10 the inver-
tebrates. Fossils alone might be re-
garded as bad enough but the fos-
sis of invertebrates. creatures that
never had even a backbone, how
could a collection Of them show the
greatness Of a city or a nation?
But did YOU ever read the poem
Of The Nautilus and the Ammon-
tie" that beautiful romance Of the
strange comrades that sailed the
ancient MesOzoic seas together, until
a breath blew upon the ammonite
and the nautilus was left henceforth
to wander alone through the geolo-
gic aeons? Have you ever read the
Crinoids, the "sea lilies" the most
beautiful beings, perhaps. that this
earth of ours had known before the
human form was created?

Geological Wonders in the
National Museum

! Fossils, Invertebrates, Why. these
backbboneless creatures were the
proudest representative OF life on
the earth in their day They stand
for the beginnings OF history. With
out them We should never have
been. We despise our own ances-
tral tree when we turn away from
their remains with a contemptuous
shrug
The Pharoahs IN their royal tombs
were no more important as links in
the development Of this living globe
than are these beings Of the dawn
OF time Among them are thousands
OF those ancient aristocrats. the tril-
obites. who once occupied the apex
of the pyramid Of terrestrial life
You will see on some OF those slabs
trilobites OF startling size and others
so delicately little that you must
take out your pocket magnifying
glass in order TO see all their beauty
OF form and 20 perceive all the Won
der OF their preservation.
Many Of them are like exquisite
cameo figures cut on the gems that
old Egyptian kings ard Roman en-
perorS loved 10 wear IN finger
rings. Seeing is believing And
what an education. then, Is this
which is offered freely 20 every
visitor 70 the National museau. 40
one can any longer doubt the geo
logical record after he has inteil-
gently pored over such an exhibit.
II is the only true way 20 study
geology, and the government offers

spect to the price of potatoes with
25.cent margin over the other cities
and. in the common parlance of the
day is still running with respect to the
other prices listed.
The information collected by The
Advocate follows:
The price of foodstuffs is the thing
that is holding the greatest attention
Of the American people today, and the
recent bounding of prices, which have
mounted skyward, has caused con-
sternation, discomfort and talk of COM
bines to uphold the prices.
The past few days reports have
been received that Newark was on the
crest of the wave in high prices, even
overlapping the neighboring cities.
Today the Advocate wired a number
of the surrounding cities, asking for
the prices quoted on the country mar
kets in the various cities, and the
prices quoted in the replies give to.
days quotations.
MT. Vernon is asking the highest
price for potatoes, the market in that
city bringing 80 cents peck as COM
pared with the lowest price, 90 cents
peck, which is being asked in Co.
shocton. At the Newark Third street
market new potatoes were selling for
60 cents while at the West Main street
market the prices range from 50 to 20
cents. The local grocers were asking
70 and so cents.
The price of eggs fiuctuated in the
different towns and even in Newark
they ranged from 80 to 40 cents.
"Coshocton evidently is a member
of the league to keep down prices, for
all markets quoted are the lowest.
Chickens there are only IS cents a
pound, butter 80 and tomatoes 10
cents.
In Columbus dressed chickens are
selling for 40 cents pound and Zanes-
vile chickens are bringing from 30
cents to 81 each.
The comparative prices of local
and that of surrounding cities
is given:
