ARIZONA ONCE
 INHABITED bY>
 HUGE ANIMALS
By EIdred D. Wilson

During the past winter some rather interesting and scientifically import ant vertebrate fossil remains have been collected for tine University of Arizona Museum by the geologists of the Arizona Bureau of Mines The said remains were found in certain clay and gravel horizons between Benson and Charleston in the San Pedro Valley. Their presence has long been suspected but the honor of first discovery is due Dr. Kirt Bryan of the U. s. Geological Survey. Upon his recommendation, the Smithsoni- an Institute delegated Dr. J. w. Grid ley. one of the foremost vertebrate paleontologists of the world, to col 'ect from the locality for the Nation al Museum. It was through the courtesy of these two gentlemen, ther, that we were allowed to collect our specimens.
 These finds prove very definitely that there lived in Arizona, in an age estimated variously at one-half to two and one-half million years ago. some twenty-five different species of vertebrates That time was in the age known geologically as the Plio- cent or late Tertiary; and to know positively that Pliocene sediments exist in the San Pedro Valley is very important from scientific stand point. From the standpoint of the laymen furthermore. it seems to he of more than passing interest to know that there lived in prehistoric times certain Mastodons. Glyptodonts (Glyptotherii). Camels. Horses. Deer. Antelope, Wolves. Muskelines. Ro- dents. Reptiles. etc. in the San Pe- -dro Valley.
 The fossils were found fairly near the surface and the nature of the which they were found proclaims that the climate in those days was quite arid As is true in the desert today, water and food were probably scarce except adjacent to the few. far-between springs and water-holes. The various animals naturally con gregated more or less at these oases, and, while there. were overtaken bT death in many ways. Their common est end however. seemed to come from wading or stampeding too far out into the mud-flats or playas where 'the soft slimy mud sooner or later engulfed them and gave their bones a chance to become fossilized. The rodens and carnivora no doubt met like end while preying on the living and dead carcasses.-Arizo- na Wildcat

TERIOJKI. Finland. April $0.-Cop- les of Bolshevik posters designed to quiet the strikers of Petrograd during the recent revolution at KrOnstadt which have been brought across the border here, show the Communists turned to soft words in their effort to win over the workingmen.
 Previous posters were couched in words of command, but these were ad- dressed to Dear Comrades" and were full of promises, One of them reads:
 Dear Comrades: We offer the fol- lowing seven concessions:
 Eighteen million poods (of 3607 pounds each) of coal have been order ed from abroad.

 Far from being the princess of fairy tales, who has nothing to do but sleep on silken covered rose beds, eat choc- olate drops and play with gay little page boy courtiers, Princess Juliana has to study French history. arith- metic, geometry, algebra, geography, drawing, grammar, voice culture and violin playing.

Skunk And Squirrel Live Together And Are Best Of Friends

FOR COLLINS. Colo, April 3O.- Frank c. Miller, proprietor of a ga- rage here, has a pet squirrel and a pet skunk. They live at the garage and have been friends. The other day the squirrel wanted some mate rial for a nest Unable to find it else where the squirrel pulled most of the fur out of the skunk's back and used that.
 Now the squirrel has a nest and the skunk has a bald spot as large az a saucer. But they are still friends.

is that they belong to the 1ndo-European

like the Japanese and Chinese. Their
features prove that they are Enthusiastically
Caucasian, and yet they are living on the
edge Of Mongol territory which is farthest
removed from the great Caucasian races.
Although the Anus. belong physically
to the most intelligent OF races, actually
they are of very low intelligence. They
have no writing and practically no civil
zation.
How do they come to be where they
are, isolated by thousands OF miles from
the great mass Of their racial stock? Are
they descended from some tribe of Euro
peans that wandered across Asia in a re-
mote prehistoric age and settled in the
Japanese islands?
Are they, rather. descendants OF the
earliest human beings who originated In
far Eastern Asia and evolved into higher
types after migrating to. other parts?
Their low intelligence and their harness
