REMAINS OF MASTODON
 FOUND AT LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Cal. April B. What is said by John A Comstock, associate director of the Southwest Museum here, to be a fragment of the fossilized skull of a baby mastodon, which lived more than 50O,O00 years ago, has been dis covered in the Los Angeles River bed.
 The weight of the fragment, which was found at the fifty foot level, in pits of gravel company where Seventh Street crosses the river, is fifty pounds. One tooth was found in the fragment, MT Comstock said The tooth, he added evidently was a milk tooth, ant would have been displaced later by a permanent one if the creature Sad lived.
 In contrast to the relics of var ious prehistoric animals found il the La Brea tar pits here, where they were preserved as bones il asphalum for what scientists sa! was hundreds of thousands of years the skull fragment is a fossil.
 MT. Comstock said he believe, the fossil had been washed from ; higher level to the place in th' river bed where it was found. H' reached this conclusion because nt other fossils were found in tn same gravel pit. he added.

MAIAO ISLAND WORST
 MOSQUITO SPOT ON SEA

PAPEETE, Tahiti, April D. - Maiao Island, a small dot of land in the Society group, has the repu- tation of being the worst mosquito island in the South Pacific
 Seldom do schooners visit the island, but when they do call those on board never pass a night ashore. The mosquitoes are said to be so numerous and savage that even pigs, which are supposed to be in different to insect pests, cry out in the night with the pain of their sufferings.
 Native inhabitants of Maiao ap- pear to be thick-skinner and quite accustomed to the pests. But there are seasons of the year when the mosquitoes surpass even the natives powers of endurance and they are compelled to keep great smudges of smoke going about their houses.

War Department Greens
Defeat Invaders, IL to 1

The Cuban Army polo four again
fell yesterday before a team COM
posed of United States army players
when the War Department Greens
defeated them. IL to 1, on the field
In Potomac park. This L. the sec
ond OF the three preliminary ma ches
which will be played to sccustom
the Cuban players to the field and
give them a chance to get their
string of 1s ponies scclimsted after
their long jaunt from Havana. The
hnal preliminary match will be play
ed tomorrow when the War Depart
ment Reds and the invading four
hook up.
The Cubans' ponies have not yet
found themselves. as was indicated
by their work yesterday. Tn. great
difference in the scores wa laid
by local army experts to the vast
difference in the ponies Of the two
fours. The Cuban mounts wee
slow and tired easily. At their best,
only two of the iRvsders' ponies,
Blsnco and Billie, could be cIsssed
with those of the Americans.
Two goals by Montgomery and
one by Queemeyer in the first De-
riod and two by Burr and another
by Montgomery in the early parl
OF the second period gave the Greens
six-goal lead before the Cubans
managed TO score.
