TINY ANIMAL is
MIRROR OF PAST"
SPECIES ONLY SURVIVOR OF
FOSSIL RACE WHICH LIVED
100000 YEARS AGO.

CHICAGO.-For 100000 years
one of the few survivors of the fossil
animals has lived in Businesses OF what
is now South America. Nine years
ago it was discovered by an exploring
expedition of the Field Museum OF
Natural History. The museum has
| lust published its first scientific report
on its find.
Speaking Of his discovery DR.. Will
fred H. Osgood named some OF its
features:
Through all these ages this animal
lhas continued reproducing itself with
out important change.
1t is one of the most notable eX-
amples of the Simple life"
Ali the other animals Of its group
have utterly vanished or been turned
to stone for hundreds of thousands OF
Years.
1t dates back to the period when the
warm blooded animals were just be
ginning to evolve from the cold blood
! er reptiles. 1t is one of the Oldest liv-
! ing mammals.
1t is a mirror of the past" with d
practical value difficult to estimate.
Looks Like Rat.
A little animal, it looks like a SHARP
inosed rat 1t is only about inches
long. But its size has helped to pre-
serve it. 1t has small eyes, rounded
ears, slender tail and soft brown
| hair.
i Caenolestes is its name-moderr
representative of an ancient group Of
|DredatOry animals
DR.. Osgood made his discovery il
Venezuela i'll 1912. He secured his
specimens in the heart of dense torest
| Of the mountains there. Access to the
spot was gained by laboriously cutting
narrow trails for long distances
through the heavy underground.
Since then DIR. Osgood has made az
intensive study of the animal, and i
is this which the Field Museum ha:
lust published in a book entitled, "a
Monographs Study OF the American
Marsupial Caenolestes."
Quite Unlike Others.
This little animal is quite unlike
anv other living in the world" DR.. Os
good said. although it does not re
semb1e closely any species now living
lit is very intimately related to AMI
mails which fourished far back il
geologic time when the foundations
were being laid for the evolution O
the higher animals OF the present day
All the others of the group to which
it belongs became extinct ages age
and Caenolestes alone has survived tc
the present.
"We know this because its bones anc
teeth are essentially the same as those
of the extinct animals If the bone:
are the same it is probable that othe1
parts are also similar Therefore caeno
Ilestes is a prize to the student, for !
enables him to learn more about thu
ancient fossils than is shown by thei
bones, which of course are the only
parts preserved.
Survival Is Marvellous.

dent Harding-that spirit which al
most alone holds promise of confer
ence success. The writer has attempt
ed in earlier dispatches to convey some
idea of the broad mindedness of the
aims, ambitions and necessities of the
great powers that have been called
together, and his realization that these
aims and necessities must not be de-
MED just recognition. The president
today expressed all this in his own
words.
Sober Contemplation.

sober contemplation of the existing or

one of US, but by all OF us. do not
mean surrendered rights, or narrowed
freedom or denied aspirations, or ig-
Inored national necessities. Our repub-
lie would no more ask for these than
it would give. No pride need be
humbled, no nationality submerged.
We wish to sit with you at the table
|of International understanding and
good will, said the president.
The president spoke from the-head
of the great U-shaped table, around
which sat in rapt attention the states
men of Europe and Asia. To the right
of him sat France and Japan, to the
LETT Great Britain and Italy, and down
at the far end of the horseshoe were
the representatives of China, Belgium
Holland and Portugal.
The audience and some OF the dele
cations came to their feet applauding
when Mr.. Harding declared America
wanted "less of armament and none
of war;" and wanted to work to that
end.
There was more applause when Mr.
Harding asked how civilization ever
could justify the destruction of the last
great war. Still again he was an
swered by loud clapping when he said
war should be 'outlawed" and the
resources of the world turned into con-
structive channels.
U. S. Lays Cards on Table,
Within thirty minutes after the
great conclave met America in bold
drastic manner, which amazed the
diplomats of the old world, placed her
cards on the table. Scrap your capital
ships. Abandon your building pro-
gram.
Like the crack of a whip came this
startling proposal from the American
government through Secretary OF State
Hughes to the governments OF Great
Britain and Japan. 1t broke upon the
unprepared minds Of the statesmen
from London and Toxic like flash
OF lightning from clear sky.
The American cards are on the. table
face up. They are being studied in
the capitals of the world. She propos-
ed to do this;
l. Scrap sixty-six capital ships, to-
falling 1,878,043 tons. Thirty from
America, nineteen from Britain, sew
enteen from Japan.
2. Abandon all building, programs
America to give up her 1916 program
Japan to give up her eight and eight
program and Great Britain to ceass
construction OF four new super-Hoods
3. Enter upon a ten-year holiday
with Great Britain and Japan, during
which there will be no building.
4. Keep the relative naval strenths

on the part OF the American delega-
ton, and fairly took the breath away
from the visiting delegates, who have
been accustomed to secret conference
before anything concrete is made
known.

iers' Association being held here.
In every exhibit of clothing for men
the four-piece business suit is display

ings. They are shown in white duck,

servative hues. These are to be worn

An important feature of all garments
for the coming season is the return to

lad and has served its time. Men are
tired OF continually hitching up their
trousers and suffering the discomforts
of having their digestive apparatus
constantly under tight pressure.
The new clothing will be loose and
flappy and wrinkled. Patent leather
shoes have gone to join the dodo. In
hats the tweeds and light colors are
