bows. They are trying to wrest both
historical and prehistorical secrets
from Mother Earth In the interest of
science. And we all want to know
how old man Is, at what stage Of the
evolution Of the modern animal world
he put In an appearance, and what
he did.
One of the pet theories of the pale
ontologIsts Is that Asia is the ''mother
Of continents" and the cradle of life
on this globe. DIR. Henry Fairfield Os-
born, director Of tho American Mu-
scum of Natural History. put forward
this hypothesis in 1900 lie based
it on the fact that two great deposits
of the remains of animals at the dawn
period of mammalian life on the
northern hemisphere have been found
at widely separated points-one In
Europe, the other In the American
Rockies. He reasoned that these AMI
mails could not have originated where
the remains were found, else they
would have spread westward and east
ward respectively. His conclusion
was that they must have originated at
some halfway spot on the other side
of the globe. That Is why the third
Asiatic expedition of the museum Is
now In the Cobb desert In Mongolia in
search of the paleontologic garden of
Eden and the "missing link"

One wishes for the Imagination of
a Dante to vision the pictures suggest

are two significant facts To be noted.
One Is that the claybanks OF the
brickyards contain the bones OF herb
asphalt pits were the common burial
ground of herb-eaters and fesh-eaters.
On these two facts hangs a thrilling
story of the prehistoric tragedy of the
Ice Age.
This big mastodon of the claypits
and the sabretooth tigers OF the as
phalt pits belong to the Ice Age of the
Pleistocene epoch, which some author
tiles think may have begun 100000
years ago and lasted until 5000
years ago. II was after the "Age OF
Reptiles" and before the age OF
Man"
The brIckyard excavation extends
back from the ancient bed of the Los
| Angeles river In the form Of horse
shoe into thirty-foot bank. This
perpendicular bank Of clay shows four
| levels of drift material, which were
washed down from the mountains and
deposited layer by layer during four
| inter glacial seasons OF the Ice Age
| In each layer are the fossils of the
animals that met their death In the
river during the corresponding time
The mastodon was found IN the low
est layer Of the four. Before the Los
Angeles river changed Its bed this
brickyard basin was soft-clay quag-
mire about a quarter of mile wide.
The La Brea asphalt pits were orig
inally blown out by eruptlons of gas.
In these miniature craters oil collect
ed. Evaporation changed this oil into
asphalt with a seml-solid crust. Water
seeped In on the crust and sufficient
vegetation grew to camoufage the
death-trap.
The stage is set. Now for the
tragedies of the river quagmre and
the asphalt denth-trup.

DISCLAIMING any intention of
- starting 'boom" for United
States entry into the permanent court
of international justice, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover has set forth what
may fairly be considered the views of
the administration on that subject. In
an address before the convention of the
National League of Women Voters in
Des Moines Mr.. Hoover spoke in earn
est advocacy Of President Harding's
proposal that the United States become
a member Of that court, and answered
the usual objections to the plan.
"The proposals to join the court"
said Mr.. Hoover, have been criticized
from various angles. The first of these
Is that 1t leads us into some unde-
scribed political ENHANCEMENT. This
Is untrue, for the DEGREES of the inter-
national court are based upon the proc
ess Of law, not upon political agree
ment their enforcement rests wholly
on public opinion and not upon force.
"In supporting tbs court we sub
scribe to no compulsion whatever.
Compulsion is, In fact, specifically ex-
cluded. We do not need to submit any
case to the court unless we feel like
doing SO at the time the case arises.
No other nation can summon us into
court except with our consent. The
court itself cannot summon us In, nor
In any manner or degree exert upon
us any kind of compulsion, not even
moral.
"All we do II we ratify President
Harding,s proposal, all the promises
we make, the only obligations we take,
are these, and only these: We promise
to pay share of the running expenses
Of the court, matter less than $4,000
q year, and we promise to take part
with 40 other nations In the choosing
Of the judges.
There is another section of oppo-
nents Of President Harding's proposal
who condemn the idea, not because
they do not agree to its primary pur-
pose and method, but solely because it
was erected under the auspices of the
League Of Nations. But we are not
by this act entering the league In any
sense. The connection of the court
with the league Is indeed remote. Its
sole relationship is that the judges are
elected as provided in its own statute
not by the league, but by the repre-
sentatives of the nations to the league
acting as an elective body for this pur.
pose. 1t Is this elective body that we
Join, not the league"
Secretary Hoover commended the en-
lightenment and courage Of Senator
Borah In demanding that the court bs
given teeth" and that we Join II II

gated to Its Jurisdiction, but he sale

Those comprising the party in addition to MT. Davis, were, H. H. Briggs, Bill Coffey, G. W. Sexton, Chas. Sexton and s. Kukovich.
 This party will during the coming season confne its activities to the Kenai country, endeavoring to com plete the survey of that section this year. They will remain in the field for the entire season and until weath- CT conditions compel the abandonment of the work.
 John P. Walker, also of the land of fee and who accompanied the party north, will return within the next few days and return to Juneau to super wise the reports of other parties now in the field.

SEWARD RESIDENT IS
 KILLED Al PLANT : IF Sh|l JUAN CO.

MT. Tallack Tallason, for the past ten years a resident of Seward, died last evening at the family home in this city from injuries received yes terday afternoon about S:30 o'clock while at work in the engine room of the San Juan Fishing & Packing Com pany's cold storage plant.
 At the time of the accident MT. Tal- lasen was alone in the engine room, but was discovered shortly after it happened. According to the best in formation obtainable Mir Tallason was oiling a bearing on the main shaft ing, standing on a ladder to do so The supposition is that the ladder slipped and he grabbed hold of the shaft to keep from falling. A set. screw on the shaft caught hold of his clothing and within the space of a few seconds he was being whirled to his death. The first intimation to be had that he was in danger was when the carpenter of the plant, who few min utes before had left the engine room heard a cry of distress, followed by several loud thumps, and later fal! as though a heavy body had struck the floor. Calling to Foreman Nicho- lich and hastening to the engineroom, MT. Tallason was found lying on the floor, bleeding profusely from the many wounds caused by his legs and body striking huge timber above the shafting and also from an ugly gash ception of portions of his garments from the shins down his body was stripped of clothing. His lower limbs Were practically beaten to a pulp and nearly all his ribs were broken. The shinbones were protruding through the flesh in many places.
 Dr. Baughman was hastily sum mOned and the injured man taken to his home, where death occurred short ly after half past five o'clock. Nurse Perry, who was in attendance, made heroic fight to prolong life by anif- cial respiration but all efforts were unavailing, MT. Tallason passing away quietly.
 The deceased was born in Norway on March 3, 1866. At an early age he came to the United States and on reaching manhood's estate for a time
