appearance of man on the earth
by 5o,000.000 years are on exhi-
bition at the Academy of Natural
Science here. The minerals were
discovered by DIR. Samuel G. Cor
don of the academy. who has just
returned from an exploration tour
of the Arctic country.
Whether the minerals, which
were found in large quantities,
could be made of any commercial
value was problematical, DR.. Cor
don said. One reason was the in
accessibility of Greenland, he de-
clared.
The minerals are imbedded in
quartz and will be analysed by the
academy to determine their nature
and value. Forty cases of them
were brought back by DR.. Gordon.

DOtty Dill's
Diary
By La Monte WaldrOn.


- AN IL spose its kind or
nut thing to do, but I'm going
q to keep a diary this year, a
kind of heart throb book. So here
goes. This is Jan. 1, a rotten
day, sloppy and gloomy. DIDN'T
git out the hay till near noon
Went to the movies tonight with
Chef and saw lovely fillum,
Herby Halfover in Human
Spiders" Way he knocked 'em
for a goal was a thrill, I'll say.
Didn't think much of the dame he
picked for his sweetie, kinda
mushy. Chef wanted me to smoke
O cigaroot on the way home. but
bawled him out plenty. None
Of that society stuff for .me.
Washed out a few things in my
room and tumbled into the bailed
sawdust. Work again tomorrer.
o gee!
JAN 4.-Forgot about writin in
OldIy iii tOHiSHI. ouIip1i "oA6O
said at dance of Amalgamated
Winder Washers BENEVOLENT AS
ISOLATION made me think of it.
Nothin much to put in it amy
way. Danced with Chef sixteen
times and with four strange guys
whose names slipped my ear. One
stepped repeated on my new pat
ent leather dogs. Could of handed
him one but had to smile. Such
Is life. Home just as milkmen
started theyr gay careers for the
day. Nearly fell asleep going up
stairs. Work again tomorrer.
Wow!
Jan. skipped you some more
diary for a couple days. Can't
seem to git the habit. My young
life amt worth writin about amy
way, but this book cost two bits
and I gotta make use of it. Jessie
is trying to grab off Chef. Think
of her. the nerve! Why her face
is covered with rooge you'd think
she had scarlet fever. I'll read
the riet act to her if she don't
lay off. All men is fools and even
Chef might fall for them vampy
eyes if don't watch my step. She
sure does know how to flash her
lamps at any poor fish that has
the price of a feed. But I don't
think Chef is stuck on her style.
Anyway let her pick one of her
own and not come trying grand
larceny on me- Well, haytime
again. More work tomorrer! Gosh,
how I do hate it!
