ing Discovery.
The department of geology at Mount
Holyoke College, at South Hadley,
Mass, in replacing collections lost by
fire has obtained a slab of Connecti-
cut Valley sandstone on which are
found fossilized mudracks and ripple
marks of bygone ages, and with them
seven foot prints made by giant di-
nosaurs. The slab is an unusually
good specimen, as both sides have
marks of geological interest. 1t meas
ures IL feet by feet.
The ripple marks were made in the
ooze millions OF years ago when the
region of the present Connecticut val
ley was a large river bottom occas-
iorally flooded. They are unusually
distinct.
The foot prints show that at least
two dinosaurs, one big one, the 9TH
or apparently its young, roamed over
the mud fats on their hind legs. The
larger tracks are about eight inches
long and the indicated stride four or
five feet.

- The United States transport COOK
arrived at New York last SATURDAY
with lila persons aboard, including
s6S soldiers being returned from Ger
many. The Cook had had an uneasy
voyage of it, information having come
while she was still far out at sea that
she had sprung a leak and that she
was in considerable danger should she
be hit by the hurricane that was then
raging out in the Atlantic. When the
vessel reached the dock, however, it de-
veloped that although the public had
been previously advised Of the situa-
ton by wireless, tie doughboys on
board had never been apprised Of any
danger; but had been going along with
their usual routine as though nothing
out Of the ordinary was the matter. AT
one time soundings showed a depth OF
twenty-three inches of water in the
vessels hold. Capt. Reppa told the re-
porters in New York, THANK God, we
had only moderate seas" The Cook is
quite an old vessel and it will probably
so to the scrap heap. III

CHINESE GRATITUDE
Bandit Saved from Death bysJapanese
Manted TO Make Good.

"dnScO 70 SSS9s
The bandits gratitude is the gist OF
a story that comes from Tokyo, Japan
The widow of the Japanese general,
Saito, who has been left practically
penniless after the recent death of her
husband in Siberia, was ,astounded a
few days ago to see a richly dressed
Chinese smiling and bowling on her
doorstep. "You do not know me,
madam" he said, but your husband
saved my life. and naturally my life
belongs to him and his. have heard
of your need of assistance. have
made arrangements With my banker
to forward you 800 monthly, and If
that is not sufficient, for your needs
more will be added lie then de-
parted before the widow could realize
her good fortune. The tale dates back
10 the Russo Japanese war. The
Chinaman was head Of some bandits
whom the Russians used for spy work.
He. was captured by Saito and sem
fenced to death, His mother heard of
this and pleaded, Who will worship
ut the grave of his ancestors? He is
IN only son and am old" Saito,
sympathetic, agreed to spare the
bandit's life on condition that he
guided the Japanese troops to n point
near Port Arthur. After the war the
bandit retired" and was granted q
concession for the lighthouses in the
Chinese quarter of Tokyo, where to-
day the one-time bandit is Il wealthy
and respected citizen.

PLAN GUARANTEE
BY GOVERNMENT
Aid For the Railroad. Subject
Now To the
Fore

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. D.
Means Of lending the aid of the gov
ernment's credit to the railroads are
under consideration in administration
circles. it was indicated today BY high
officials. Any such plan. however, 1t
was said. would not involve use Of gov
ernmcnt money for rendering financial
assistance to the carriers, but tho use
of federal credit. Secretary Hoover
suggested today that a government
guarantee OF railroad equipment trust
certificates would mako them attrac-
tive to investors and enable roads to
raise money for needed rolling stock
without the expenditure of funds from
tho treasury.
Secretary Mellon In also under stood
to regard favorabIy the idea of lending
this governments credit to the carriers
on tho theory that better business con.
ditions generally would result. from inn
provcmcnt in the railroad situation. II
any such steps should be taken how
ever IN the opinion of Attorney Gen.
eral Daugherty legislation probably
would be necessary and in this case
some difficulty might bc encountered
in congress. Needs Of the railroads for
moro equipment Is their own difficulty
In tho opinion or Secretary Hoover who
said 1t WAS up to the railroads to take
the leadership in presenting soma con.
structive plans for providing fnnds.
The railroads troubles. he asserted
were in anticipation which made any
relief measures difficult of adoption at
this time. -Ie expressed tho belief that
II the shortage Of cars became suf-
ficiently acute there would be pressure
from all sides to remedy the situation.
Under equipment OF railroads. he
said. had its effect on the employ
ment situation and upon agricultural
conditions.
Secretary Mellon Is also understood to
coincide with this view.
Use OF tho governments credit has
already been extended to tho farmers.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out in the guar
antceing of farm loan bonds. He In
dicatcd some such method might be
utilized to aid the railroads, II the
emergency should become sufficiently
acute.
