Fossil Remains of Huge Dinosaurs to
 Be Given Museum

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.Fossil remains of several dinosaurs found in Alberta, Canada, are to be turned over to the Field Museum of natural history, Pro- lessor k. s. Riggs, associate curator of geology, who returned today from Alberta announced. The party of din osaur hunters was made up of six paleontogologists who worked in the canyon of the Red Deer river, about 125 miles west of Calgaray.
 An almost complete skeleton of a duck-billed dinosaur was discovered. Other finds included the scatteered bones of crested dinosaur and a flesh eating reptile about as large as a crocodile.
 "These animals lived at a period before the Rocky Mountains were formed" Riggs said. Tt was a time when there was a tropical climate in Alberta, when there was heavy vege- tation and red wood trees. At that time an arm of the sea extended from the gulf of Mexico north and connect edwith the Artic ocean,.

To the man who has breathed the free air Of Arizona, to hini who has prospecteG for gold ir the gulcnes, to trails by night, and has slept on a blanket under the stars, who has heard the calls of the wild creatures to their mates and their young, to him who has climbed to 1he mountain top and sung "Beulah Land" and from such a vantage point has watched the sun go down in the clear atmosphere of a desert sky, and has seen the flashes of purple and gold, of blue and scarlet, to him who has shouted his joy against rocky cliff and heard the multiplied echoes come back to him who has seen the Painted Desert, and the Petrified Forest, and at last has stood upon the very rim Of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, or journeyed down the Bright Angel Trail just as the greatest gorge in all the world is filling with purple haze to that man has spoken the mighty voice of God.
 Oh Wonderland, My Wonderland, If l were a pagan man I'd worship
 thee;
 Upon thy highest mountain spires By night I'd build my altar fires, And worship thee meath lurid skies; Oh Wonderland, My Wonderland Oh Wonderland. My Wonderland, But am not a pagan man; look from thee, the made, primeval
 dust,
 And worship God who made thee
 thus;
 Oh Wonderland. My Wonderland.

NEW METHOD TO
 IDENTIFY ALL
 CROOKS FOUND
Will Demonstrate Long Dis tance System of ldenti-
 fication to Police

NEW YORK, Sept. 23. - Thr e e Danes, one a young woman, have come to New York to tell the National Po- lice Conference how the world can be shrInk into a smaller space for pro- fassional crooks. They are here at Police Commissioner Enright's special invitation to demonstrate a newly in- vented Tong distance identification system" and to urge its international adoption.
 "The greatest aid to police identifi- cation since the Bertillon system, says Mrs. Mary Hamilton, noted New York policewoman and student of finger-printing.
 After eight years, Taken Jorgen- sen, assistant commissioner of the Copenhagen police, has perfected a method of translating the loops and whorls of finger-prints, as we'll as the facial and physical characteristics, inton funerals.
 How Method Works
 You don't have to be an identifica- tion expert to see what that means. Suppose you were convicted of a crime. Your finger-prints and Bertil- lon measurements would be taken in the regulation way. Then, by the Jor- gensen system, the results could be reduced to a series of about 20 num- erals. You would be the only person in the world who would exactlysmatch those figures; and, inversely, the fig ures would be the only ones which would evactly match you.
 Your name and numbers could be listed in a crooks directory, copies of which could be kept in every police station on earth. No alias, no change in appearance, no passing of the years, would enable you to conceal your iden- tity from any police department which found it necessary to check your finger-prints and measurements against your numerical rating, or vice versa.

 Peggy Beal who shot and killed An derson, scion of an old Philadelphia. family, in a hotel room in Kansas City, June 3, has just left the hospital where she recovered from wounds in- flicted upon herself after shooting An derson.
 She is charged with murder and will face jury in Kansas City in the near future. She herself is the moving spirit back of plans for an early trial.

POLA' 'SF|RST
 INTERVIEW IN
 ENGLISH GIVEN
Interviewing Polish Star, Using Only Three Eng
 fish Words, Is Tough

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-This is the first interview Pola Negri ever gave in English.
 Waving the interpreter from the room, and leaning our German-Eng- fish dictionary-open at the page, Sample Conversation Between Strang ers"-up against jewel case on top of one of the F trunks the Polish movie star had just brought off the steamer, we began.
 Good morning, Miss Negri," we said, speaking in German in order to gain her confidence.
 She smiled and showed her beau tiful teeth, which a battalion of pho tographers had just been photograph ing. s4A'
 (Even though she seemed fatigued from too much Interviewing, she is awfully easy to look at; magnificent grayish blue eyes, with depth and twinkle in them; soft pale face, with just a line of color at the lips; sim pie black hat, and a dress of-or- well, beautiful dress).
 You have just arrived-is it not?" we said, speaking with foreign twist
 (This was an idiotic question, for we knew very we'll she had just ar rived But she was smiling at us, and we felt sort of dizzy. and the diction- ary swan before our eyes).
 "Ja," she said Recollecting in- stantly, she interpreted herself, and said "Ye-es"
 Problem in Etiquette
 Miss Negri sat down on a divan and since her dress was very wide, like a hoop-skirt, and there wasn't any oth CT place to sit down, and we didn't know whether it would have been pro- per to sit down on the divan with her even if there had been room, which there wasn't, we folded ourself onto footstool.
 How do you like America?" This seemed an inane question, but the rules and regulations of Interviewing foreigners prescribes it.
 Wees" she said, "aber-"
 (Off she went, out of bounds-talk- ing German. We were too much of a gentleman to interrupt, and we didn't understand it anyway, so it really doesn't count in this English inter- y'iew).
 Just then a maid relieved the situa- tion by bringing Miss Negri a thin glass-deminiscent of highball days. In it was two fingers of a rich red liquid.
 We perlIed up. But there was only one glass.
 Miss Negri understood.
 ''Tea!" she said, speaking perfect English.
 As Regards Matrimony
 We changed the subject by looking at the forefinger of her lift hand, on which spargled a diamond solitaire as big as a two-bit piece. From a thin chain around her neck hung dia- mond placque the size of saucer
 Not married-is it not?" was asked shaking our head and talking with our hands.

It takes her but few moments literally "to get a criminals number"
 "This is an auxiliary to the identi fication systems used by the police in various countries," said she. ''It would not replace present methods but supplement them and enlarge their uses. Every professional crim inal in the world could be listed in a book no larger than a dictionary.

 These improvements are such. say naval engineers, that they will be capable of sending messages up to a radius of 300 miles in the daytime and much farther at night. This is three times the distance spanned by the radio sets now installed in the sub marines
 An order for 59 new sets of the lat est type has been issued by the Navy Department. These sets, however, will be formed from old apparatus along a design set up after careful experimen tation by the naval radio experts. II will mean a saving of nearly $300,00G in the cost of the sets.
 Although detailed specifications oi these new radio sets are withheld, il is learned that they are of the latest type of vacuum tube apparatus. Their efficiency will vie with those of the German submarines which succeeded in sending messages at night as far as 500 or 1000 miles to their bases.
 The new apparatus on the American submarines will be able to receive long-wave signals while the craft is submerged to a depth of about 20 feet

MISSOURI COTTON.

The following is taken from Sun
days Commercial Appeal:
The cotton growing industry in
Southeast Missouri has brought
about wave of prosperity that has
not been observed since the war"
days
Cotton is grown extensively in the
southeastern part of Missouri, par
ticularly in Dunklin, Pemiscot. But
Ter, Scott, Stoddard, New Madrid and
Mississippi counties. The average
production in these counties is run
ming around 1900 pounds per acre,
according to the best authorities
in these communities. Many yields
are as high as $500 pounds seed cot
ton to the acre, and 1000 pounds to
the acre is not uncommon.
On account of the high prices last
year, large acreage of cotton was
planted this year. At Gideon, New
Madrid county, the bank remained
open one night last week until mid
night to take care of the business
due to the marketing of cotton. 1t
is understood that this is daily
practice. The cotton gin in that
town, which is farmers co-operat-
i've gin, has been running several
weeks without minutes stop. At
10 o'clock last Friday morning,
there We're 81 wagons waiting to be
unloaded The average load was
about 1000 pounds. That day the
gin was paying s IL cents per
pound for seed cotton, making the
value of these 81 wagon loads APP
proximately $4,000. The day be-
fore the gin received 80 loads of cot
ton and paid to the farmers within
radius of 20 miles of that town
over $4,000 cash. That perform
ance has been repeated every day
for several weeks and the same con-
dition prevails throughout the en-
tire Southeast Missouri cotton grow
ing belt.
One merchant in small South
| east Missouri town reported that he
had collected in one day $20,O0O oi
outstanding debts. Another report
ed collections amounting to $1,000
in one day.
Merchants throughout the district
report that they are making collec'
tions on old debts which they had
scratched off their books and had
never expected to collect.
Cotton growers of the south are
rushing into Southeast Miss ouri tt
rent land to grow cotton next year
The hotels are crowded and tho
towns are we'll inhabited with the
usual oil stock men, medicine mer
and other such characters that ac

this accounts for the big boom il

cotton acreage will probably b'

WARRANTS NECESSARY
IN SEARCHING AUTOS
Judge Faris Dismisses Case Against
Man Stopped on Road by Dry
Agents.

Federal Judge Faris last Monday
at st. Louis ruled that prohibition
officers may not search a man and
contiscate liquor unless they observe
him in IA misdemeanor or unless they
have a search warrant.
On August % Prohibition Officers
Cater and HOgg stopped an uu;omc-
bile F. Mansuco was driving along
the Lemay Ferry road in St. Louis
county and seized SO gallons of whis-
key They did this without
search warrant and without having
observed Mancuso in the act of drink
ing or selling the liquor.
Accordingly counsel for Mancuso
filed petition demanding destruc-
tion or return of the confiscated
property and prepared to fight pros
ecution on the ground of illegal
search and seizure. Special Assist
ant Attorney General Dyott argued
that the United States Court of APP
beals for the Ninth Circuit has sus-
tanned prohibition enforcement Off
GERS under similar circumstances.
II don't care what the Ninth Cir
cult Court did" said Judge Faris.
IF the Eighth Circuit Court of APP
peals of the United States Supreme
Court rules in the matter I would be
obliged to follow that ruling, but
even then would not be convinced.
These officers have acted illegally in
this instance.
when officers make an arrest for
violation of the law, | hold that they
must see an act of misdemeanor
committed or else must have a war
rant for the man they want. The
best way to prevent prosecution of
liquor cases is to procure evidence
as it has been obtained in this case. 4"
The Court ordered the whiskey de-
stroyed and discharged Mancuso.
