Our Ancient Ancestors
Dwell in Icy Period Is
Proven by a Discovery

One often hears Of "the glacial
period or "the ice age" of the earth,
but, strictly speaking, this expression
is not correct, AYERS a writer. 1t is
now established beyond all reasonable
doubt that this planet has experienced
not one but a great many glacial
periods. Evidence has been found
which proves that the latest or Pleis-
tocene glacial epoch has several I'M
pOrtant subdivisions and that all OF
the present continents have expert
enced glacial epochs at different ages.
Great ice sheets were formed at diff
ferent periods back TO the Proterozoic
age: that is the age of the oldest
known s~edimentary rocks, a great
many million years ago.
One Of the most recent discover
les Of the old glacial deposits was
made by Professor w. w. Atwood OF
the United States geological survey,
near Ridgway, in southwestern Colo
RADIO. These deposits were found be-
meath tertiary lavas Of the San Juan
mountains, and resting upon upper
Cretaceous beds. They have, 1T Is be-
lieved, been formed in early Eocene
times.

If You Make
Your Own
Warning Issued by Revenue Authorities

Persons who may be planning to
make liquor in their own homes after
national prohibition becomes effective
July 1 are to be warned by revenu
authorities as to the penalties to which
they will be subject. The internal
revenue bureau has sent to evenu
collectors and agents a summary of
laws on the subject and penalties with
the suggestion that they be made
known widely.
The schedule Of penalties for va
rious violations Is as follows:
For failure to register still, $500
penalty. fine Of between 500 and
$1,000 and Imprisonment Of between
month and two years; for making
liquor in a community where 1t is pro-
hibited by local or state laws, tax Of
$1,000; for violating wartime prohibit
ton, $1,000 fine, or one year imprison-
ment or both; for making a whisky
mash or a beer, fine Of between $500
and $4,000, and Imprisonment of be-
tween six months and three years.
Beer making comes within the same
prohibitions.

Eggs, Milk and Vegetables
Are Essential to Growth

Eggs, milk and the leafy vegetables,
according to III. l.. Kempster of the
University Of Missouri college Of agri-
culture, contain substances known as
vitamines, which are essential to
growth. They are called the prOtec-
tive foods because they correct the
faulty composition Of seeds and tu-
bers. Young animals fed on wheat,
oats, barley, or other seeds fail to
grow. The ration is inadequate, W
if the feed includes beans, peas and
potatoes, and ever IL moderate
amounts of leafy vegetables are also
fed. Egg yolk contains about 33 per
cent fat. Like butterfat, 1t contains
growth-produclng substances which
are absolutely essential. These
growth-producing substances are not
found in vegetable fats or oils In beef
or pork fats. Some protective foods
are necessary IL the health Is to be
maintained. Eggs should, therefore,
become one of the regular articles of
diet. The price should be a minor
consideration. Eat IN egg a day. They
promote growth aud increase your
ability to withstand disease.

Animals Display Great
intelligence When III or
Hurt-Treat Themselves

Few people realize, notes a writer in
mails are constantly getting hurt and
sick. The wild animals seldom get
sick from what they eat, but the do
nestle animals frequently do. Wild
animals get injured from fighting with
other animals of their kind or in fights
with animal enemies. In all cases,
animals have q way of d~octoring them.
selves that is remarkable.
Animals suffering from fever eat
nothing, keep quiet, seek darkness
and airy places, drink much water
and sometimes plunge into the water
from time to time. When a dog has
lost its appetite 1t eats that species Of
grass known as dogs grass" Cats
also eat grass, catnip, ETC., when sick.
Sheep and cows in the same circum-
stances seek out certain wild plants.
IF an ants foot Is cut, other ants
will cover the wounded part with a
transparent fluid from their mouths.
If a chimpanzee is wounded it stops
the flow of blood by placing it's hand
on the wound or dressing it with
leaves and grass.
A terrier had an injured eye. 1t re-
manned lying under q counter, avoid.
ing heat and light, although 1t had
been its habit to keep close to the fra,
1t adopted the general treatment
rest and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted i'm licking
the upper surface Of its paw, which 1t
then applied to the wounded eye,
again licking the paw when it became
dry. Cats, when hurt, also treat
themselves by this simple method.
The methods adopted by most Of the
wild animals for ~doctOring them
selves are unknown to man, but there
is no doubt that every animal has the
ability to skilfully doctor itself.

then wreck the vessel and escape with
it. That to this end Estada had al
ready been murdered. l shall explain
that we discovered this conspiracy
just in time to save them from butch
cry, and they must stand by us or
else submit to those hell-hounds."
"And after that, senOr?"
"Why, Porto Grande, OF course" I
admitted heartily. 'The men will I'M
derstand what that handful
Of gold for each Of them and a run
ashore. Why, LeVere, they will make
more apiece than by looting a half
dozen ships, and with no fighting. 1t
will be a fortune for you and me-"
His somber eyes lighted up, startled
by this new idea, and he sprang to
his feet.
"You mea that, senior! We divide
what is below and sail for Porto
Grande? / hear you right? You not
mean surrender? You stay pirate?"
/ laughed. my nerves tingling to the
success of my ruse-he had taken the
tempting bait like a hungry fish.
"Why of course. I am not such a
fool as to throw away this chance.
This is u chance. LeVere. If we put
the Namur into Porto Grande, with
Sanchez on board and alive, and those
%hellhounds locked below, we'll get any
thing We ask for. Wen be the cocks
of the walk. If he shouldn't live
through, why then Wen have a ship,
and car run the game alone. Either
way. If we win. the prize is ours-and
If we stick together we win."
My apparent enthusiasm caught the
fellow. l could read the working Of
his mind in his face. This new view
Of the situation promised wealth.

everything he most desired.
"You think Senior Sanchez liver"

owes his life to us. If he dies the bark
is in u hands, and the treasure.
Once we have won we care nothing
If he live or die. Are we together N
this?"
He thrust out a lean yellow hand,
and I gripped' 1t.

Must Be Brave to Raise
MuStaChe-and a Little
Later to Shave 1t Off

1t takes a brave man to raise a
mustache. When you first hesitate
and then desist when it IN to shaw
ing your upper lip and the sprouts
spring up as ragged as the weeds in
a brick walk, then your friends nudge
each other and grin broadly when they
meet you, muses. a writer in Toledo
News-Bee. Your family looks at you
with sorrowful eyes and cringes when
you jauntily caress the segments Of
down and remark that you certainly
are breaking all records for quick ac-
emulation Of foliage.
You become the butt Of constant kid
ding. You furnish large punches Of
enjoyment for your friends. The ia
vorite form Of wittlcism INDUCED in by
your friends is along these lines 4:
"Why the disguise? SO you're raising
alfalfa now? OF course you want to
hide that face Of yours"
After about three or four weeks Of
this sort of life you determine to re-
move the hirsute adornment. But you
find this doesn't stop the kidding. AS
a matter of fact it flares up more
strongly than ever. "Ah, ha," say your
friends, $50 you cut off your mustache
to make yourself look younger? That's
right, old top, make yourself look as
young rs posslble-yOu're slipping
fast!"

forth, curious to learn if 1t bore any
mark of ownership. My eyes were in

both hilt and blade. / held 1t to the
light-it was the stain of blood, and
my hands were also Redeemed by it. In
that first instant of horror l hurled
the weapon out through the open port
into the sea. Blood! There had been
murder committed on board, and the
fellow l had struck down was seeking
refuge, e~ndeavOring to find conceal
ment following his crime. Az, but
what about the light in the cabin? 1t
had been e~xtinguished after the fee
ing fugitive had entered Dorothy's
stateroom. Did this mean that the
slayer had an accomplish? If so, then
the killing was not the result of q
mere personal quarrel amidships, or
In the forecastle, but the result Of
chez, and of Estada's plan to obtain
control of the ship. Could this be its
elimination? And was the Spaniard
already lying dead in his cabin?
Nothing came of my thought-only
confusion; nor did / dare investigate
for fear of becoming more deeply in
volved in the tragedy. No, there was
nothing to be done; my safety, and
the safety of the girl depended on our
apparent ignorance of what had oc-
Cured. Convincing myself of this, l
washed the blood stains from my
hands and lay down in the bunk fully
dressed to await my call.
When called l exchanged but few

The dawn came cold and gray but

to call the port watch. Watkins came

thus relieved down into the cabin to
rout out LeVere. The two returned

about curiously without mounting the
ladder.
"You call Senior Estada yet?" he

"No; / had no orders to do So"
"He toll me call him at daylight.

The seaman disappeared, while Le-
We're crossed the poop deck and stood
beside me looking out across the ex-
panse Of sea.
Armada emerged from the companion
and stared up at us, shading his mouth
with one hand as he spoke.
"He answer nothing, Senior LeVere."
