RAIL BILL IS ss5s, ooo,o
Private Operation of the Railroads for
Six Months Costs Government
That Sum.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Private opera
ton of the railroads for the first six
months after the end of federal con-
troll will cost the federal government
a total of $656OOO.OOO. according to
figures made public by the interstate
commerce commission.
The railroads sustained a net deficit
of S2O6.000000 during the six months
period, and besides this sum the treas
ury must pay them S450,OO0.000, the
amount Of the guarantee provided in
the transportation act. Part of the
deficit is charged to increased pay
granted to the railroad workers by
the railroad labor board.
When the period of the federal guar
antee of earnings to the roads ended
on September 1 the increased passen-
ger and freight rates granted by the
interstate commerce commission were
in effect. These are designed to in
crease the gross revenue of the car
riers by $1,5OO,OOO,OOO annually.

were quiet and almost deserted at
times, its suburbs shady and pretty,
and general air of "manana" per-
vaded its atmosphere.

historic big game. quoted from a com

To-day we must go TO Africa for the

In the dim distant past when America
produced animals larger than any now
living. That was so long ago that
nothing remains of these creatures ex-
cept their bones, and they are turned

1.-THE animals are dinosaurs; for
the moment we will call them lizards
not the creeping, crawling kind, but
huge reptiles that stalked upright
through the jungles, rivaling in size
the elephant. the 'hippopotamus and
the rhinOceroS.
1.-The place is Alberta, Canada, and
the time of their existence 5000, 900
years ago.
"In these marshes of prehistoric
times dwelt a host of reptiles, some
large, some small and of various forms,
flesh caters and herb eaters, but all
sharing certain characters in common
and known as dinosaurs. Not any
were closely related TO any living rep
tile. yet they had some characters
common to the lizards, crocOdileS and
birds.
"Of the kinds characteristic Of the
period one species, herb eater named
TrachOdOn, was more than 30 feet long
and about 10 feet high when standing
erect. It's head, with broadly-expand-
ed mouth, resembles that of duck,
but back of the beak there are more
than 1000 small teeth, disposed in
many vertical rows each containing
several individual teeth, the new ones
coming I'D from below as the old ones
wore out.

three large hoofed toes, and the short

webbed. a long, thin, slender tail act
ed as a powerful swimming organ, ana
the body was covered with rough tu-
berculate skin. Having no means OF
defense, it lived chiefly in the water,
where it was free from attacks OF the
flesh eaters"

SEA SLEDS FOR AIRPLANES
