NJ difficulty should be experienced by New Castle

such loan would represent only about five per cent OF
The assessed values OF the real estate in New Castle

provided that much ive per interes, may be

is ndisputable fact that the current income Of the
County Board OF Education is inadequate to provide
ample, appropriate and suitable grounds buildings and
equipment in many places where they are needed II
follows therefore, that the money needed be
ained through the floating OF bonds which VIII be
cured amply by the county's credit

WASHINGTON, Jan. January /.
1921 New Years Day, we call it. Yet
it isn't new year. at all. according to
Dr. Charles d. WalcOtt, scientist, sec
retary Of the Smithsonian Institution,
but very, very old year.
The only real New Year, Doctor
WalcOtt holds, occurred many millions
OF years agO-probably iOOOOOiOOO, at
least.
"a recent resume says Walcott,
showing the relative age OF the sedi-
mentary strata for each period OF his
tory, points a minimum Of 9O,OOO,OOO
years since water and wind began to
transport continental earth and rocks
over the land and into the seas and
lakes"
But how about life2 Where does
science put the first New Year for
life?
Of life on earth" WalcOtt says, lis
suggested by recalling that the So
called Cambrian period, with its early
and semlprimitlve forms OF inVerte-
brate marine fossils, stands, roughly
speaking, midway in the earth's his
tory. Approximately as long a period
OF time was required TO develop life to
the Camhran stage Of evolution as has
elapsed up TO the present time.
In othef words form OF life which
already bad undergone a Ions era OF
