Dear Folks: Always on the snoop
for fuel to feed the fire of propaganda
which is to tell the world that little
old Washington, d. c., is truly the
heart of our mighty nation. dropped
in on c. Francis Jenkins, inventor
Of the method to broadcast pictures
by radio, and I'm turrible glad l did,
for 1 not only got a corkin' good idea
Of that wonderful discovery, but
picked up a mess of good dope on
the city in the bargain!
After most interestin' two-hour
chat with the wizard. who is regu-

learned that it was only a question
Of months when pictures. both still

universe just the same as news!
But wonderful as that listens. wasn't
there fifteen minutes when learned
that pictures by radio is Just another
one Of them funny little scientific
for with only a scimpy slant at the
record list Of local past performers,
it amt at all surprisin' that the old
town should be the birthplace of
this latest eye-opener!
Yet how many of you all know
that the capital of the nation is the
birthplace of more scientific discov-
cries. which have led to revolutionary
industrial development, than any
other ten miles square in the whole
world. Come, UP with your hands!
I thought so! And neither did until
the other afternoon!

Well. it's so. nevertheless. so jot
this down in your jot-book for refer

Many Dinosaurs
Are Dug Out in
Aberta,C
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 23.-Fossil
remains of several dinosaurs which
have been found in Alberta, Can
ada, are to be turned over to the
Field Museum of Natural History.
Prof. E. S. Riggs, associate cura-
tor Of geology announced yester-
day. The party of dinosaur hunt
ers consisted Of six paleontolo-
of the Red Deer river, about 125
miles west Of Calgary.
An almost complete skeleton Of
a duck-bilIed dinosaur which had
been exposed while a creek was
cutting its way through sand and
clay in the bad lands Of the Sand
Hill creek district, was discovered
and dug out, and a second speci-
men was found nearby. Other finds
included the scattered bones Of a
crested dinosaur and a fiesh-eating
reptile about as large as a croco-
dile.
These animals lived at a period
De1Ofe the ROCKY mountains were
formed" Prof. Riggs said. 1T was
a time when there was a tropical
climate in Alberta; when there
was heavy vegetation and redwood
trees. We found a petrified trunk
of one Of these trees. At that time
an arm Of the sea extended from
the Gulf of Mexico north and con-
nected with the Arctic ocean, COW
ering much of what is called the
great plains region"
Getting out the dinosaur bones.
many Of which weighed $500
pounds or more, was difficult
task. Prof. Riggs said, as many Of
them were in inaccessible places
and it was necessary to build roads
over the hills before they could
be moved.

 Now a bit of personal newe! Last Sunday Mrs. Hart and spent the day seeing tht Tai Mahal at Agra. Too many people have already attempted descriptions of 1t, and any words of mine would be utterly inadequate to tell of its majestic beauty. It seems to me though that it personiies that something in the soul of India that one would give ones life for-that fine worthy something which has been dissipated for years and is now cry ing out for a new life.
 ''The children ar thriving. Mrs. Hart has organized a Mothers Train ing College on our back porch, and is providing for them the schooling which out here they can get in no other way.
 ''The weather at present is per-, fectly charming. We hate to think, however, of the hot weather to come when Mrs. Hart and the children will have to go to the mountains while I remain here, joining them for month only.
