Fossil Remains Show That Dinosaurs
Varied Greatly in Their Slze
and Appearance.

Como Bluff, Wyoming, is classic
ground to those interested in the fos-
sill remains of animals that inhabited
this region long ages ago, for it was
here that the first dinosaur bones were
discovered in the Rocky mountain re-
gion. Some of the dinosaurs were the
largest land animals that ever walked
the earth, and some were very diminu-
tive. They differed greatly in size,
shape, structure and habits. Some
we're plant eaters; others fed on flesh.
Some walked on four feet others with
small, weak fore limbs walked entirely
upon the strongly developed hind legs.
Some had reptile-like feet others were
bird footed. Some had toes provided
with long, sharp claws; others had
flattered hoof-Iike nails. There were
dinosaurs with small heads, and 9TH
ers with large heads. Some were large
and cumbersome; others were small,
Tight and graceful and so much re-

Bath in West Africa.

The Bantu Oh West Africa makes

of peppers, cardamon seeds and

light frame covered with clay is put
over the hole to keep in the steam.

Il trap there for Mr.. Fox to step on
when he came to visit the barnyard.
But Youngster let this advice go In
n ear and out the other, as he did
much of the other warnings that his
mother gave. He began to play and
forgot all about it.
Youngster had heard a great deal
about Mr.. Fox, but no one had said
how he looked. He thought of course
he would know this bad fellow when
he met him, and of course Youngster
intended to catch him and show his
mother and the master how smart he
was in spite of all they said about him
that he was a silly puppy and did
not seem to learn . thing.
1t was late in the afternoon one
day when his mother was sound asleep
and some of the hens were sitting I'M

chasing a rat.
When he got behind the barn he
forgot all about the rat, for there,

Youngster did not wait to hear any
more. He ran straight TO the heap
and began paving, while the stranger
looked on with great interest, for II
was Mr.. Fox, you see, and he wanted
to find out for sure If there was a trap
set for him, and If so he must go
around the other way that night when
he came to call.

in the sun holding it up, his mother

Those who design and manufacture
clothes for the young have simplified
matters. They are specialists and
they turn out, as n rule, garments ex-

styles may be profitably followed by
the home d~ressmaker, since they have
q wide market to choose in, and q

In the matter of wraps the problem
Is only one of selection, as these outer

that they are simpler and far less

IAIOGENE

MOT so frequent in usage, but non
~ the less lovely and possessing of
u good deal of poetic charm is Imo-
gene. The name has no definite his
tory and etymologists find 1t difficult
to account for it, but the generally ac-

of the Imagina.
There was Imeglne of Limburg in

the use Of the name by German wom-

of Imogene is open to speculation. 1t
is probable that Shakespeare's heroine

YOUNGSTERS LESSON

VOUNGSTER wasn't a little puppy.
He was past that age, but still he
was a young dog and had many things
to learn. Mrs. Old Dog. his mother,
tried her best to teach Youngster the
things that a useful dog should know,
but Youngster thought he knew
enough.
Ii his mother told him not to run
after the master when he started off
with a gun he did not pay any atten-
ton, and often got a whipping from
the master for not going back when he
told him to.
Then, too, Youngster would jump
up on folks when they came to the
farm, and Mrs. Old Dog told him many
times to make friends with
strangers, and besides with your own
friends 1t was very bad amer in
deed to jump and put muddy paws on
peoples clothes.
One day his mother told him that
he must be very careful not to go back

Dance Frocks.

Some of the most charming evening
and dance frocks are made of en-
broidered chiffon or %georgette. The
polka-dot design is a favorite, white
appearing on color and vice versa.
Usually the froeks are of the simplest
character as to style line, with smart
ribbon sashes Or ornamental girdles
finishing them at the waistline. The
flower belt or girdle is popular, one

72 MILLION GALS. OF GASOLINE ARE
 WASTED YEARLY

New York, Oct. 9-(A. PA daily wastage of 100000 gallons of gasoline by evaporation from HIS uninsulated storage tanks throughout the coun- try. was reported today as one of the major findings of an extensive sur vey on conservation just completed by engineers of Johns-Manville, Inc, and the U. $. Bureau of Mines.
 According to. J. S. Carroll. general manager of the Oil Industry Depart ment of John-Manville, Inc, the ex- ,cessive losses by evaporation of the more volatile gasolines stored in un- insulated tanks were demonstrated by a series of special tests on casing head gasoline conducted at Blgheart and Drumright, Okla. The tests proved it was said, that the greater part of these losses are preventable through the use of suitable insula- tion.
 Further investigations were made as to the losses from tanks contain- ing motor gasoline and crude oil, which losses were found to be con- trol1able by the application of proper

But these inn plements were all horse drawn, and the natives knew of nothing else So when the queer looking tractors were set up in the fields, and without being urged by cries or whip began the task of ploughing. the pe1alnts shook their heads and said such cr.yNy things just could not last But Se- fore many days the peasants had be- come tractor converts, and now most of them are hoping the day may come when they themselves will be able to own steam horse for their fields

 ''The surface temperature of the fluid in an uninSulated storage tank said MT. Carroll, whether it be gaso- line or crude oil is governed by the temperature of the outside air, and direct radiant heat of the sun. When this surface temperature increases. the rate of evaporation increases, and the air in the space at the top of the tank becomes saturated with gasoline vapor and other volatile fractions of liquid in tank. This saturated air. due to expansion. is then carried off into the outside at mosphere through 'breathers,' which are simply the safety valves of the tank, to allow for changes in press urc. At night, when the tempera- ture of the outside air drops, the tenn perature of the outside air drops, the temperature inside the tank also drops and fresh air enters through the fbreathers,' becomes saturated and the absorbed gasoline is lost the follow ing day by the continuation of the same cycle. A great quantity of this saturated air escapes through 1eaky joints of roof plates and caves.

WAGE INCREASES
 BETOKEN REVIVED
 METAL INDUSTRY

Houghton, Mich, Oct. 9.-(A. P.)- The recent Is per cent. increase in wages granted employees of the Cop per Range and Quincy Mining com panies in the Michigan copper district, and the announcement that the Calu- met & Hecla and Mohawk and Vol verine companies would shortly re- adjust wages, is interpreted as an ef- fort on the part of the mining com panies to hold together such forces as they now have and add to them if possible.
 Men have left the district in con siderable numbers during the past few months, due to higher wages ob- tainable elsewhere. A crippling of subsequent higher costs and lessened production. It has been the history of the district that when one or two companies increased wages the others virtually were forced to follow to maintain general morale.
 Mining costs still are high and earn ingS small. Although surplus copper is steadily diminishing no substantial improvement in the metal market is expected until next spring. Copper has been selling recently at 14 cents per pound or a fraction under. Pres ent and contemplated wage increases will mean an increase of costs of from onehalf to a cent per pound. The only way shattered organization could be revived and their efficiency in creased was to raise wages, even though not strictly warranted by the present price for the metal, officials point out.
 Copper mining companies at the close of the war were left with an abnormal metal surplus. Demand for the metal fell off sharply and the prices dropped from 26 cents per pound, -h@ war price, to under 12 cents The majority of the mines re- ported operating losses, wages were decreased, production decreased, and in the spring of 1921 the Calumet & Hecla and subsidiaries shut down com pletely. The other companies con- tinued to operate sufficiently only to Keep the mines open. Production to- day is approximately one-half of nor nal for the district. estimated at II = OOO. 900 pounds per month. as com pared with a pre-war normal of 22- 000,000.
