your mind you may remember
something about man being
cautioned not to pull asunder some
thing God put together. But down
at the National Museum, in the Di-
vision Of Vertebrate PaIeontology-
which in the argot of the ignorant
educated means extinct animals with
back bones-they are patching to-
gether what God pulled asunder
some odd 1000, 900 or 100000 years
ago.

go in for poor fish and spineless
lubbers, so if you ever hope to have

The monster dinosaur already on
exhibition in the museum measures
20 feet long, 8 feet high, with a
skull feet long-so it is readily
seen that the one now being over

however, that the smaller has a

An evil woman can drag a weak

supply a spineless man with a back

quickly
Nancy bit her lip. She had re-
solved at the time that DR.. Langwell
extended the invitation to make no
further reference to it. But her
momentary pique had betrayed her,
so she said sweetly as she could
under the circumstances:

Nancy hesitated.

she laughed, as she rose. NO one

the machine turned around. Nancy
saw DR.. Langwell and his compan-
ion entering the formers car.
1t was seldom one saw a more
stunning girl, she thought. Her
gown aand hat and furs were per-
feet, proclaiming Paris in every
line. Moreover, she wore them with
an air.
Nancy had a swift vision of Edith

servative attire, wearing her gowns
like the lay figure, the shell OF a

Rebuilding Skeleton

The bags should be put on when the
grapes are perfectly dry. and fast
ened by tying a short piece of string
around the mouth of the bag where
the bunch of grapes fastens to the
vine. Another way to fasten these
bags is TO draw the top of the bag
together and pin it. It does not take
very long to put on 100 or 200 bags
in this way. and a splendid crop of
grapes will be saved. Then. the
grapes can be left on the vines until

TO IMMIGRATION
Quota Rule Has Not Turned
Back Single Immigrant
Reaching U. S. Shores.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 20.-The restrictive
immigra tion law, which went into effect
June 3. thus far has barred no new
comers who have been able to reach
these shores.
Officials at the Ellis Island immigra-
ton station said today that while Euro
lean embarkatiOn had been somewhat
curtailed and there had been some de-
lays in admission of immigrants, none
had been turned back here because his
country's quota had been filled. The
only persons excluded have been those
unable to meet the usual physical. men,
tai and moral tests.
Greece July Quota Full.
At present there is a surplus of only
two nationalities. The July quota for
Greece of 657 already has been filed,
estine has sent two more than its quota
Of eleven.
These extra immigrants have applied
for hearing before they are deported.
AS there are no ships sailing for Greece
from New York this month. the forty
nine at least will be here in August. and
it will be up to Washington to decide
whether they are to be admitted in the
quota for that month.
Await Warrington Rulings.
Ellis Island faces the prospect of be-
ing caught long on Poles and Turks. for
the July quotas are filed and large pum-
bers from these two countries are on
the high seas and due before the end of
the month.
Therefore rulings from Washington
are being eagerly awaited here on
whether these Poles and Turks are to be
held over for charging against August
quotas or shipped back home. officials

months of the thirteen that the restrict
i've law is in effect soon would be
