JUST BURROWS OF ANIMALS
Mystery Of What Was Known a. the
"DeviI's corI<sere~" Has Been
consldersd Solved.

or the many fossils which have
come out Of the mountains and plains
Of the West, few have excited wider
interest than the devils corkscrew,"
found IN rocks OF the Miocene PERIOD
In northwestern Nebraska. They are
usually white, and stand out clearly
against the blum background of the
rock which incloses, them, often at
tanning a length OF Is feet, with many
twists and turns, ending at times In
large bulb, with occasional side
passages. When first discovered. II
was thought that these gigantic cork
screws" were huge petrIfied vines or
roots OF some strange plant. Study OF
the "corkscrews." however, failed TO
reveal any traces Of plant structure.
Later the skeleton Of an animal Ike
the badger was found In large bulb
near the end OF the "corkscrew," and
bones Of small camel and small deer
were found in others. After that 1t
was discovered that many of them
contained bones OF small burrOwing
animal about the size of the western
prairie dog. Excavation Of actual re-
cent prairie dog burrows. after filling
them with thin plaster OF paris,
showed an Interesting fact. the bur-
rows OF the prairie dog and the pre-
historic "corkscrews'' were closely
similar. The mystery Is considered
solved.

nut dust that 60 into or onto a
sundae. bat how can one estimate
the art and eloquence that go into
dressing and naming the finished
confection? II takes an artist to
assemble the perfect still life that
the public demands of the modern
sundae, and If takes word paint
er TO evoke the epithets that go to
naming it. The old-fasiioned
soda jerker has now TO be sort
OF interior decorator with literary
attachments OF no mean order"
If the public demanded nothing
but GOODNESS the case would be
simple. But so long as the public
requires art with its sundaes the
cost win stay up. A work Of art
is worth anything you can get
for it.

Kept Young by Love Of Music.

Francois Gossec, peer of any of the
Eighteenth century French composers,
worked vigorously and ecclesiastical
~ at his music TO the time Of his
death. Even at seventy-eight he had
the freshness of youth not only in his
habits, bur also in the music which
he wrote.
AS. an instance of how tenaciously
he treasured life and the Juvenile
spirit, when asked to attend the flu
neral of his friend, Mehul, his jocose
reply was: mo, excuse me; l should
be giving Death hint to take me-"
When lie was wei past four-score
years. he daily hobbled TO the Opera
Comique. One day he tainted IN the
street.

someone asked, as his consciousness
returned.
Quickly recovering his usual spirits,
he naively replied. ITO the Opera

TURK as a acoat .Herder.n


The famous goat herder of primitive
countries who sells his milk by the jar
or cup from the goat skin bag on his
back has his modern ppototype In the
person of chap who appeared on the
Bowery said the New York Sun.
Slung over his shoulder was large
white metal container similar in shape
to the goat skin bag and from one end
of which protruded a spigot. The top
of the container was gayly festooned
with flowers and flags and for three
cents the peddler would take a small
paper cup from his pocket and draw
glass of milk for the thirsty younggser,
or passerby. The carrier of the metal
container wore bright red turban
on his head. His trousers were broad
beamed of the same color and his mus
tache of the kind figured In litho-
graphs of the ferocious Turk.

{ THE CoST oF CooLNESS

Serious indeed are the charges
set forth in the daily press that
the vendors of ice cream. sodas.
spndaes and such like continue to
impose on a sweltering public. 1t
is alleged that the heartIess deal

a falling market.
In so far as cones and the
cheaper cuts of ice cream are con-
cerned. the compliments seem to
make out good case for a price
reduction. But when they stress,
as they do, the sundae, they get
on dubious ground, declares the

SUFFER WHILE ON SHEPPARD
Many People Really in Agony During
Trip Made on Comparatively
Calm Waters.

Sir George Trevelyan tells Of cross
Ing the English channel once In bad
weather and that during the whole
passage HIS companion stood on deck
slowly reciting poetry with emphasis
and gesticulation. His companion
had explained that this singular prac-
fice had been recommended 10 him as
a preventive against seaslckness.
When they reached France he told
Trevelyan that he had nearly got TO
the end Of his English poetry. and If
the crossing had been longer he would
hare had 10 begin on other languages.
Darwin suffered terribly from seasick-
ness during the whole of his early
voyage on the Beagle. and never quite
recovered from the eyil effects OF this
experience. His bad health during
the rest OF his life has been attributed
to the shocksIhus caused to his con-
stitution.
Another distinguished victim OF sea-
sickness was General Gordon. Dur
ing voyage to Capetown from Maui

GREAT GAME IS ADVERTISING

Advertising Is a game. Business Is

xest or importance. Too many business
men play II carelessly.
Competition is the great instructor.
Run your eyes over the advertise

appeal OF news. The copy Is terse and

how they can economic; where they
can buy the best goods for the least

fence TO themselves Everyone wants
to economic now. The advertisement
which does not promise economy might
as well not be written.
We see a judicious use of space and
appropriateness of display that makes
each modern good advertisement
classic. If one should compare them
with those that were set a few years
ago he would be surprised at the i'm

And yet there are sloveniy advertise
ments still. advertisements which
merely take room and exhibit the

THURSDAY. JULY 2S. 1921.
A HERO STILL

: Two years ago the country
rang with laudation of the exploit
of Sergt. Alvin c. York. He was
the greatest individual hero of the
war and was loaded with decora-
tons, Congress pausing to award
him the rare prize Of the Medal
OF Honor, a distinction valued
more highly than the Victoria
Cross in another land.
A Tennessee mountaineer, he
had entered the army reluctantly
because of conscientious scruples.
Placed in a position that was al
most hopeless he fought his way
to to safety, at the same time
rescuing his companions and cap
turing a lot of prisoners. Once
his exploit became known he
sprang into fame. With it all he
was unaffected. He went to his
Tennessee home, married and set
tied down.
However, it appears that at
fairs have not gone well with
him. His mountain home has a
mortgage on it and he is unable
to keep up the payments and to
settle his store bill. He is threat
ened with eviction and the nee
essity Of leaving his little cabin
with his wife and infant son tc
seek job as a day laborer. His
fame as a hero, his medals and
other decorations have not assist
ed him and his little family. 1t
may seem that there is some
thing wrong with the situation,
that a man who was able to meet
an emergency and triumph over
it should merit better fate.
Notwithstanding his failure to
meet his obligations, there is
something of the hero about his
actions. He never tried to capi-
talize his exploit. He might have
made money in the movies. He
did not assume a pose or take the
position that the government
owed him a living. So far as
could be observed he was the
same supplemented mountaineer
after he became famous as he was
when unknown outside his native
hills. In the news item, appear
ing yesterday, that tells OF his
misfortune there is no appeal for
sympathy or lament over his fall
ure. 1t is matter-of-fact state
ment that he went to hunt job
as day laborer.
That, too, is heroic. though of
a common sort. Having failed at
one thing he goes to find some
thing else. 1t is a kind of hero
ism that is exhibited by many
who never were in passage at
arms. yet it demonstrates real
manhood. Republics are uns
grateful. perhaps, but the real
hero asks for no favor. but meets
circumstances as they arise and
without complaint.

II is also evident from the note that
the American Government has no in
tention to define the scope OF the dis
cussion of Far Eastern questions. but
desires that the question be settled by
mutual agreement among the powers
prior to the meeting of the conference
Concerning the Far Eastern questions
the note says:
1t is, however. quite clear that
there can be no final assurance OF the
peace OF the world in the absence Of
the desire for peace, and the prospect
of reduced armaments is not hope
full one unless this desire finds ex-
preston in a practical effort to re-
move causes of misunderstanding and
TO seek ground for agreement as TO
principles and their application. 1t is
the earnest wish of this Government
that, through an Interchange of views

ference. Il may be possible TO find n
solution of Pacific and Far Eastern
problems. OF unqucstioned Importance

understandings with respect to matters
which have been and are Of inter

mote enduring friendship among our
peoples"
simultaneously with the issuance OF
the invitations TO the powers. Senator
Hiram Johnson Of California issued q
statement in which he dema nded that
the sessions OF the conference be open.
Whether the sessions will be opef
depends on the decision Of the dele
gates TO the conference, acting on in
strIctions from their own Govern
ments. Whatever their attitude may
be. it can be stated that the American
Government viii insist that public
opinion around the world shall be ac-
curately informed as TO the work and
progress of the conference. 1t is the
belief of high American officials tha;
the success OF the conference viii de-
pend very largely on the force of public
opinion and in order that such opinion.
