CURIOUS HISTORY OF
VERMONT FOSSIL
Tooth of Prehistoric Elephant Gets TO
Harvard Museum After Many
Years

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. March 16.-
The fossil tooth of a prehistoric elephant
found in Vermont in 1919 and pre-
scented to the geological museum of Har-
ward university as its first specimen has
only recently been received at the mu-
scum. after n curious history. The d.
rector of the museum Is Samuel Hen
shaw. a grandson of Samuel Henshaw,
of Boston. who found the fossil and pre-
scented it to Harvard.
The tooth. which is nearly a foot long
and several inches thick, was found
with other fossil elephant bones while
the Rutland railroad was being con
Structed across the slope of Mount Holly
few miles south of Rutland. Never
before had the remains of fossil ele-
phant been discovered g in the northern
states.
Samuel Henshaw. one of the promot-
ers of the railroad, gave the tooth to Pro
fessor Louis AgaSsiz. the great Harvard
naturalist. to serve as the first specimen
in the newly opened museum. However,
instead of being placed on exhibition it
was loaned to DIR. {. J. Warren of Bos-
tom who had obtained the other ele-
plant remains and was writing book
on the subject of mastOdOnS. No steps
were taken for its return to Harvard
and it remained in DR.. Warren's col
lection.
In 1906 the Warren collection was
bought by the late J. L. Morgan and pre-
scented TO the museum of Natural History
Of New York.
Last year Walter Granger of the New
York museum discovered that the tooth
had Originally been presented to Har-
ward and really belonged there. There
upon the museum authorities returned
it to Cambridge, together with a present
of other elephant bones

TAX MONEY IN
ENORMOUS VOLUME
New York Officials Admit They Are
Tired of Receiving Income
RETURNS

NEW YORK, March 16.-New York,
the financial heart of the nation, throbbed
more rapidly yesterday as it drove a
golden stream into government Golfers
with first payment on federal income taxes.
BY midnight, tho final moment for
making returns. Father Knickcrbocker' )
pulse beat was way above nOrmal-and it
was reflected in the throbbinG heads of the
sons and daughters Who in the last few
dayS had been forced to brush up on their
lost art of arithmetic.
Big Bill Edwards collector of inter-
nal revenue. and his staff. admitted last
night that they were wearied accepting
money. But they were not too weary to
hazard q prediction that when the final
penny was counted it would be found that
more people had paid income taxes this
year than ever before, but that they had
turned in smaller amounts to their Uncle
Sam.
Depression in business and increasing
unemployment played their part in max
ing up tax returns for 1920. Officials
said that many persons who had incomes
in five figures a year ago reported earn
ings during 1920 of only $4,000 or less.
Incomes of many big corporations also
shrunk during the last year.
Nevertheless, money flowed like turbu-
lent rapids at all places where govern
ment agents collected the payments
Thousands packed the customs house from
morning until late into the night while
hundreds more stood in long lines at the
postofhce and other places dealing in
money orders.
Heavy bags of mail were delivered by
the score at the customs house, thou
sands sending their returns that way in
stead of appearing personally with the
money. Early last night 10000 returns
had come in by mail since morning and
many more We're expected today.
Several persons who sent in payments
of two cents spent l. cents each to send
them in registered envelopes. Several I'M
employed married women reported indi-
vidual incomes due to playing the ponies
and bridge parties" One man confined
i'm the tombs prison sent in a request for q

The cobbler says that the only time
he ever crossed Calvin Coolidge seemed
TO make frmer TIE friendship between
them. Mr. Coolidge had sought the cleo
ton of frientl as mayor and asked Mr.
Iucey as Il delegate to the party caucus
to stand in his behalf but the cobbler
already bound to the opposing candidate
refused. This evidence OF loyalty TO a

Former New England Woman
Making Home in California

From her home at 272S East Colorado
street, Lamanda Park, California, Mrs.
+. A Leonard, who has many friends
throughout New England writes an in
tcresting letter regarding her experiences
with pain. In her letter she ordered one
dozen bottles of Mysterious Pain Ease,
so-calIed. and says: Il have used it in
the East and | feel | cannot be without
it. | have a friend who has lame
knee. I put some Mysterious Pain Ease
on it two or three times. She was so
much better from this that we want
plenty of Mysterious Pain Ease on hand.
1t is the most valuable liniment l ever
used
This Mysterious Pain Ease mentioned
in Mrs. Leonard's letter is Scotch Lin
iment. 1t acts in such Il way that 1t
relieves inflammation which causes pain.
In fact when they first started to use it,
its effects were so quick in the relief of
pain that people really thought there
was something mysterious about II.
Hence its name, given it by the thous-
ands of people whose pains 1t has re-
licyed
Many people, both men and women,
in all walks of life, heartily endorse it.
They recommend it for pains Of neural
gia. neuritis, Sciatica, muscle cramps,
chilblains, and pains arising from in
Examinations, rheumatism, sprains of all
kinds, lumbago, burns, stiff neck, and
muscular colds where the shoulders,
chest and back muscles are in pain.
Mysterious Pain Ease is sold by most
leading. druggists. Any druggist can OBJ
tain it from his jobber.-Adv.
