But the Druggist Must Have Had HIS
Opinion Of Value Woman Put

The druggist had stopped In the

causing her great pain.
"Ah, thank you so much" she
gushed. "How much is itY'
Nothing at ALL" he replied courte-
ously.

something-you really should? I'm

hard as carpenters or painters-why

BELONG TO PREHISTORIC DAY
Bones Of Whales Possibly Ten Thou
sand Years Old Recently IN
earthed on English Farm.

The skeletons of two whales, dating
back, 1t is supposed. 10000 to 1900
years, were founud by two workmen
on a farm near Peterborough, accord
ing to the Westminster Gazette. Some
of the teeth and bones were submitted
to Doctor Garrood of Alconbury hill,
Huntingdonshire, and he, In company
with two geological experts, visited
the farm and obtained all the bones,
with the result that one of the whales
has been set up.
The whales we're lying side by side
under the peat, and just embedded in
the clay. On the whole the bones are
in good condition, and those that have
been taken out carefully are scarcely
broken. Unfortunately, the skulls are
damaged.
1t is believed that many thousand
years ago these whales, and perhaps
others, swan up a creek when the
wash came further inland, and got
caught at the top Of a spring tide
In place where they were unable &c
turn.
Another theory has been advanced
though II is rather far-fetched. Some
years ago a prehistoric boat was
dug up In the same field, and the sug
gestion has been made that the crew
of the boat was hunting the whales
at the particular period.

the activities OF the followers OF
Ghandi, the advocate Of passive re-
sistance. This new leader Is an
educated Hindu Of high ideals and
forcefuI character. He has succeed
ed in doing what no othef leader In
the cause OF Indian independence
has been able to do; the leader Oh
his class and caste, he has obtained
the regard and support of the other
great caste OF that country, the
Moslems. These two~rAces hitherto
enemies, are now united against
what they consider the oppression
OF the outlander. Such unanimity
bodies i'll for the peace Of the Brit
ish Empire, whatever the justice OF
Ghandi's plan OF self-determination.
1t has been predicted that rebellion
can only be prevented by most radi-
cal concessions in the way OF self
government to the people of India.
The first steps toward autonomy
have already been permitted by
Britain. Would not more rapid and
much greater concessions be prefera-
BILE TO the sacrifice of blood and
treasure which the suppressing of
rebellion would entail. And then
the problem Of India would not be
solved, for "a question is never
settled until II is settled right"
Bitter American experience struck
the scales from Britannia's eyes. AS
result we see the self-governing
dominions of Canada, Australia,
South Africa.-and Ireland. With
India added to the roll of freedom,
the last spot would be removed from
Albion's 'scutcheon. Why not give
"the lesser breeds" a chance to
work out their own salvation?

Seek Fossil Treasures.

Graves unmolested for hundreds OF
thousands of years, according to
scientists, were Jared to daylight at
Torrance, near Los Angeles, when
blast of 100 pounds of dynamite
pushed into the air fossils of antedilu-
Wan beasts. 1t was a treasure blast,
especially set for a group of California
scientists who visited the lime pits
which have given forth molars of the
two-toed horse, the saber-toothed IT,
ger, the giant sloth and other. peculiar
inhabitants of the tungles which ex-
listed hereabouts half a million years
or more before Los Angeles was
thought of.
A whole mass of interesting discov-
cries was made In the debris of the
explosion. Something of the size of
these prehistoric monsters may be
cleaned from the fact that one tooth
measures about 10 inches across the
top and is from IS to "a inches long.

WELSH llE TUNES HAVE SURVIVED
Traditional MslsdIss stiIl In uss.
Though They Have Not Seen
Committed to Paper.

Traditional Welsh music has found
Q place In the services of the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster
The attention of DIR. r. d. Terry. the
organist Of the cathedral. was drawn
TO the tunes some years ago by David
Lloyd George. At service Of benedic-
ton recently the 20 Salutaris hostia"
and the "Tantum ergo" were both
sung TO ancient Welsh melodies. The
tune used for the latter is one of the
prime minister's favorites.
"These old tunes have been wonder
fully preserved" Doctor Terry told a
London Daily Mail reporter. "Many
OF them date from the pre- Reforma-
ton period. For centuries they were
not written down. but they were saved
by the Welsh genius for unacc6m-
panied singing. They were handed
down from one generation to another.
MANY of them have been recovered
and published In Welsh hymnals, but
unhappily In too many cases their
harmonies and even their melodies
were revised In accordance with the
musical ideals Of the last century.
at is still possible, however, to
hear them sung In all the beauty OF
: their original form In remote Welsh
villages, and intelligent Welsh mu-
sicians of today are realizing how
very rnuch more beautiful these old
versions are. DIR. walford Davies, a
welshrian who is now professor OF
music at the University Of Wales,
may be trusted to see that good care
Is taken of them"

"PASSING THE BUCK"

The plight in which the pressing
necessity Of taking some action on
the question of soldiers bonus
has placed the Republican national
administration is pitiable or ridicul-
Gus, depending upon whether 1t Is
viewed from the angle of patriot
or a partisan. To take care of the
present G. o. p. bonus panic the
spellbinder's tried and true "dilem-
ma" will need an additional horn
The ex-service man is potential
power in politics and the Republic
can bosses know that his good or Ill
will might be practical matter OF
five million votes. The President
and his advisers are fully persuaded
that a bonus bill is advisable, but
how to raise the money for its pay
ment? AYE, there's the rub" SO
Mr.. Harding has passed the buck
back to Congress, by advocating
sales tax to pay the bonus or post
ponement of such legislation, if Con-
gress is afraid to impose such a tax.
Bonds have been rejected as
means Of financing the bonus, be-
cause ef the financial Generalization
of the country which would probably
be caused by their issue. Various
special taxes proposed have been re-
jected because of the violent opposi-
tion of the classes and interests
which would have had to pay such
levies. The same high finance
bloc" mas turned its thumbs down
on suggestion of additional in
come. inheritance OF excess profits
taxes. Now comes the President
with the deliberate judgment that
the bonus should be paid by the
imposition of a general sales tax, or
postponed until q more convenient
season.
And what is the sales tax? 1t is
a tax, which, levied, nominally per-
haps, on the manufacturer or pro-
ducer of the various products and
commodities which are the staples
of everyday life. is eventually and
inevitably paid by us, the ultimate
consumers. At whichever end OF
the line II is imposed, the purchaser
pays the freight" But the rich and
the poor, the high and the low, you
say, are affected equally. Be not
deceived as TO where the burden
really lies and that heavily. The
men and the women who
work with their hands for a daily
wage will bear the major portion
OF the load, the very class which is
the least able to bear it. Each
toiler,-even a large majority OF
the ex-service men themselves and
their families.-willb be forced to pay
more for food, clothing, fuel and
the other necessities of life. And
what will be the result. A lower
standard OF national living. for each
worker, being denied an increased
wage. must. perforce, buy a little
less OF each OF the things which
make life beaIable. The party which
passes sales tax is headed for ov-
erwhelming defeat.
The bonus should and will come.
May the method OF true Justice and
patriotism be found But II does
not lie in the direction OF an unjust
and burdensome tax upon poverty.

Sheriff Asks $4,000
For Six More Guards
Forced to Assign Six of His Nine
to Boldly Trial; Tells Of Risk
With Small Force

Shcrig Percival L. NagIe appeared
before the Finance Committee of the
Board Of Aldermen yesterday and re-
quested an appropriation Of $4,000 in
special revenue bonds for the hiring
Of six additional guards for prison
service. In making his application the
Sheriff referred to the trial Of Luther
Boldly and said that ne had been com
PEELED to assign four of his nine guards
to that trial.
IL don't want to send out two Of my
men to guard ten prisoners, as has
been the CUSTOM" said the Sheriff
"This is not fair to the uen them
selves. Sometimes a batch Of prison
crs includes fellows sentenced to long
terms Of imprisonment. They ave des-
perate characters and would rot stop
at killing a guard in order TO escape.
Better precautions should be taken
in removing prisoners either to Jail or
to court"
The Sheriff. who was a major in the
World War. declared It was easier and
safer to handle prisoners on the battle
field than guard criminals being moved
from one institution to another in this
city.
"With two other eoldiers l have
guarded 800 prisoners during battle, u
said the Sheriff. "You couldn't take
that chance in New York. There ought
to be guard for every prisoner. Too
many of the convicts of to-day are of
the killer type"
The committee indicated that they
would grant the Sheriff's request.
