FIND NEW ANIMAL FOSSILS
Specimens Discovered in Arizona
Throw Light on American Life
- in Pliocene Age.

Washington.-Anim6l fossils throw
animal life of America in the Pliocene
age, have been added to the collection
of the Smithsonian institution by the
field explorations conducted in Arizona
in the past year, and described in a
report by the institution. Among the
most interesting specimens discovered,
the report said, are a new species of
mastodon, q large and small species
of camel and two or three species of
horses. J. w. Gidley, member of the
Smithsonian staff, who conducted the
explorations, says the collection of fos-
sils represents practically q new fauna
of the Pliocene age, containing about
60 vertebrate Species
Dealing with the astrophysical field
work of the institution, the report said
the observations of the sun now being
made at it's station on Mount Monte

ularly by the Argentine weather bu-
reau for weather forecasting purposes"
"While the Smithsonian institution"
the report said, "is not yet in a posi-
ton to champion the use of statistics

USE BURLAP DRAPES FOR SUMMER
Artistic Curtains of Attractive Design
Suitable for Windows, Doors
and Bookcases.

An attractive set of burlap curtains
Of a pleasing design are suitable
for any use to which curtains are
put, from draping windows or doors
to bookcase curtains.
While stenciling or embroidering in
gay colors often makes the simple
burlap curtain pleasing, neither of
these methods was used to decorate
these curtains of natural colored bur-
'ap. Instead, drawn work, which is
so popular just now, is employed as
the chief establishment.
The full width of the burlap was
used. First a border of three inches
of fringe was made on one selvage.
An inch in from this fringe more
threads were pulled to form band
two inches wide. Through the open
work thus madesa strip Of black felt
an inch and half wide was run, just
like beading. The black thus decorat-
ing the burlap gave just the distinc-
ton to what might otherwise be an
ordinary drapery.
Other color schemes besides natural
burlap and black are possible. Brown,
with orange felt beading, is sugges-
tion, while such combinations as dark
green with crimson or white felt, dull
blue with buff or white, mulberry with
green, or gray with blue, would be
charming if in harmony with the gen.
eral color scheme of the room.
A variation in running the felt
through the drawn work also is hint
for the clever Several rows of bead
ing, basket beading or various patterns

Finds Bats to
Be Malaria Cure

the blood Of the mosquito after the
insect has been infected. With myri-
ad of bats flying about each night in
search of mosquitoes as food there is
little chance of mosquito living ten
days after it is old enough to fly
abroad at night.
Many Bat Roosts In San Antonio.
After the success of this campaign
against malaria bat roosts were estab-
lished in the southwest outskirts of
San Antonio. This was so successful
in Kidding that portion of the city of
mosquitoes that the state erected an
other at the Southwestern Insane
asylum in San Antonio. Another was
erected at the West Texas Military
academy in Alamo Heights. Summer
homes and farms are now taking up
the idea.
Some of the bat roosts erected
under DR.. Campbelrs supervision are
of mammoth size. Often they rise TO q
height Of thirty to fifty feet and are
fifteen to twenty feet square. The
largest of them accommodate from
100000 to 100000 bats, it is esti-
mated. In the early evening as they
take their departure for the mosquito
hunting grounds they have the ap-
pearance Of dark cloud. Bats do not

You can even wear q little one, If
you wish, and if the character of your
dress allows it. But, as a rule, the
simplicity of the informal summer
dresses rather demands the floppy and
artistic look of a broad-brimmed hat.
Just now there is general prefer
ence for straw hats-those that are
woven so that they show the light
through their meshes and still form a
shade for the eyes. There are others
made of those little overlapping rows
of horsehair braid and lined with
filmy bits Of chiffon which have a
way of looking about as cool as any
thing you could find for wear during
hot summer weather. They are light
on the head, too, not in any way max
ing you feel as though you are water
carrier from the weight that lies upon
your head.
The bows of ribbon are little new
er than the trimmings of flowers and
just a little bit more exclusive, espe-
cially when they are of that stiff and
perky variety that makes the wearer

remove any real feelings Of that sort.

ExPER|MENTED FOR YEARS
Or. Charles A. r. campbelI's Discov-
cries and Scientific Work With
Bats Interests NaturaIists
All Over World.

Los Angeles.-Malaria, the disease
that completes with tuberculosis and
cancer in its heavy toll Of life, has
found its Nemesis since science pro-
tects and shelters the bat as the nat
ural enemy of the malarial mosquito.
The result of DIR. Charles A. r.
Campbell's discoveries and scientific
work with bats and mosquitoes has in
terested naturalists all over the world.
The first bat roost was built in San
Antonio for the purpose Of Kidding
the city Of the pestilential malarial
mosquito.
For years DR.. Campbell experiment.
ed on bats to discover why they were,
immune from the disease that wrought
such havoc with human beings.
Bats Abhor Jazz.
It took great many years for DR..
Campbell to be sure Of the cause for
the difference In the susceptibility OF
the bat and that of other mammals.
w. d. Hornaday writes in the Los An
geles Times. The great difference In
the anatomy of the bat was found to
be in its relatively much larger spleen.
1t Is to this organ that DR.. Campbell
attributes the ability Of the bat to
thrive on the mosquito and consume
large numbers Of them without being
affected.
In his experiments with bats DR..
Campbell has come across several pc
culiar characteristics of the animal.
For instance, bats abho- jazz. A
phonograph, jazz record and small
boy stationed on the top of hunting
lodge infested with bats so startled
the animals in the early morning hours
as they returned to roost that they
few some two miles away, entered an
other lodge and never returned to the
one in which they had been living for
two years. The explanation of this is
that the ear Of the bat is so delicate
that discordant or strident noises are
to them the most irritating of all SEN
satiops.
The remarkable value of bats as
health service was demonstrated in
San Antonio when the malaria infected
swamp region around Lake Mitchell
where there was abundant grazing for
cattle was experimental on. 1t has
been said that formerly it was i'm
possible to build fences around this
land bordering the lake strong enough
to hold the cattle.
The myriads cf mosquitoes were net
only dangerous on account of their
germ-carrying propensities, but their
bite was too painful even for beasts
having shoe-leather hides to endure.
DR.. Campbell erected a bat roost on
a rise In the neighborhood of the lake
and In year the place was cleared of
mosquitoes and thousands of bats had
taken their places. The grazing land
is now covered with fine, healthy cat
tie and the farm land is irrigated from
the waters of the lake. Malaria is al
most unknown among the people dwell
ing In that locality.

the malaria parasite to develop in
