Who STOLE GREAT
O|N0SAURUS IS
VEx|NG PROBLEM
(By Associated Press)

/
BUENOS AIRES, May A. - Who
stole the great Patagonian dinosaur-
us? This is a question the news
papers are asking and it is also a
question which DR.. Carlos Ameghino,
director Of the Buenos Aires Museum
of National History, would like to
have answered.
The dinosaurus, or rather it's skel-
eton, was not stolen from the musuem,
it should be explained, but from the
soil of Patagonia, near Neuquen,
where, in a remarkable state of pre-
servation, it was discovered by some
English engineers year ago, during
the excavation of an irrigation ditch.
They notified Arthur Smith Wood
ward, naturalist of the British mus
cum of the find, who, in turn, COM
municated with DR.. hmeghino.
From the description of the engi-
neers, it appeared the dinosaurus
was a monster, even for dinosauri,
and of a new species. The museum
lacking funds, DR.. Ameghino at his
own expense seat an expedition in
charge of a young naturalist, Augusta
Tapia, to bring the skeleton to Buenos
Aires.
"The English engineers" says DR..
Ameghino, Uniformed Tapia on his
arrival that while they were away on
trip of exploration, an unknown
person had come to the place, col
lected all the fossils that had been
unearthed taken away those which
interested him, including the dinos-
aurus, and left the rest. Tapia found
only a simple pile of bones belonging
to animals of various we'll known
species. The great SHELTON of new
species was not there"
The expedition cost DR.. Ameghino
1000 pesos.

W. L. Hodges Grabs Beautiful
Clock at Imperial Valley
Hardware Company WindOWs
Before Valley People AWake.

w. L. Hodges of San Diego strolled
leisurely past the display window OF
the Imperial Valley Hardware furni-
tuer department. He casually glanced
at the goods displayed therein and his
attention was at once attracted to a
beautiful hall clock which occupied q
prominent place amid the other hand
some home furnishings.
AS the gaze of Mr. Hodge wandered
from the face of the clock to an ad-
.acent card bearing an interesting an
nouncement his expression of admlra-
ton suddenly changed to one of
amazement. "Gad cooks" quoth he,
"do my eyes deceive me, or have |
accidentally stumbled upon one of
those rare good things of which we
SO frequently hear but so seldom en-
counter?"
He again scrutinized the card which
conveyed the information that the
stately time-piece valued at $500
and worth every cent of twas be-
ing reduced in price at the rate of SIS
every working day. A price ticket on
the big ticker revealed the fact that

believable price of $40. by the

sessions here.
Representative were present from
all South American countries as well

congress urged also that there should

tional Bank for the Construction of
Economic Houses" with funds con-
tributed by employers and capitalists.

When Jacob bought his hungry brothers brthrigt for
dinner and got from his father by trick he had

But years on this rather sordid "covenant' of

and with all thy strength
And * * * thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
