 Found Fossils In Five Days.
 we spent the first year chiefly in reconnaissance, as Mongolia previ- ously had been one of the least known countries of the world. After making our permanent headquarters in Picking, organizing and training our native staff we set out for the desert.' We were told that we were fools for looking for fossils in Mon golia, but within five days after en- tering the desert we had found the ancestors of three groups of Ameri- can mammals.
 We encountered our greatest diff faculties this year, At best the Gobi desert has a rainfall of only three inches year, and this year it did not have even that much. We found it the most awful desert I have ever seen. There was no more to eat in some parts of it than there is on the carpet of this floor. It was a mass of gravel. . You couldn't see even the roots of vegetation. There had been no rain at all for ten months.
 "The place we most wanted to go to was where, on our first visit, we had found single skull which proved to be that of the ancestor of the great frilled and horned dinosaur of America. Separating us from this place, however, was 400 miles of desert. We knew we could get across in our autom obiles, but we couldn't carry enough food and gasoline for the return trip, and because of the condition of the country we didn't know whether our camels could mako the trip or not.
 However. we decided to make the attempt, We took food for month and gasoline enough to take us there Orders were given for the caravan of camels to follows us with more food and gasoline for the re- turn trip.

MEXICO RESTRICTS FORE:|G RI GH I $
Recent Decision Affects Land And Water Rights Of
 Aliens

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 17.-(By Asso- ciated Press) Land and water rights in Mexico of foreigners are vitally affected by recent supreme court decision interpreting the fla nous Article 27 of the Mexican com stitution of 1917, which played an important part in last summers pre- recognition conference.
 The decision, although it does not touch upon that part of Article 27 which nationalizss sub-soil petroleum rights, sets forth, broadly speaking, the principle that although foreigner may comply fully with the provisions of the law affecting the acquisition of land and water rights in Mexico, 1t is within the power of the min istry of foreign relations to refuse to. sanction their titles if such re- fusal is deemed to the national in tGrest.
 It also places upon that ministry the immense responsibility of regu- lating in the interests of the republic the development by foreign capital of the immense sources of national wealth comprised within the term land and water rights, and in meas ure regulating the investment Of foreign capital in Mexico.
 Case In Point.
 The courts finding. regarded as being of superlatiVe importance to foreign interests n Mexico, es- pecially since it is accepted as a possible indication of the bench's at titude toward foreign oil rights, came as a result of an appeal by the Bacis Gold and Silver Mining com pany, limited, of Durango, against acts of the ministry of foreign rela- ton alleged to be in violation of Articles II and 24, Fraction l, of the constitution.
 The company declared that in 1896, while the BaCis river was under the jurisdiction of the Durango state eovernment it secured a concession to use the waters of the river in operating a power plant and when the Bacis passed under federal 1urls- dicton it compiled with all legal re- quirement to have the concession ap- proved by the federal government. These included the waiving of the companys right to appeal to the United States government for pro- lection of it's interests and an agree ment to consider itself Mexican corporation insofar as the water power concession was concerned.
 O O O
 Court Ruling.
 When the foreign office refused to sanction the concession appeal was had to the supreme court. The court held. in effect, that
 Mexican citizens, by birth or naturalization. have the right" to acquire land and water rights; but foreigners, under the courts inter pretation of the state of mind which dominated the constituent assembly in framing Article 27, have not this right" even though they comply with every legal requirement since the article authorizes the state, through the foreign office. to decide whether it is to the public interest to sanction such land and. water rights as may be petitioned by foreigners and to sanction such rights, not be- cause of any mandatory feature or the article. but as faculty act of favor or grace.

Authorities Place Annual Wastage At Huge Sum
 And Suggest Measures

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-The annual wastage in iron and steel is placed at nearly sS,500, ,0O0, ,qR0 by British authorities, according to Alfred D. Film, director of the engineering foundation, in q description of recent conquests of engineering research in efforts to eliminate the ravages of softening iron through graphite corrosion. important revelations in this field have been made in a report to the foundation by J. Vipond Davies or New York, president of the United Engineering society.
 Millions of tons of cast iron have been put under ground and under water in pipes, tunnel Things and other engineering structures, said Director Finn. and ir has been ob- served that certain kinds of soil and water act upon some kinds of cast iron, slowly softenlng them so that the objects can be cut with pen knife. Strang to say, iron thus soft ened grows hard again when exposed to the air"
 Lose Weight Under Water.
 One of the especially interesting stories brought. to light by the hls- torical branch of the study has to do with which the cannon were loaded, raised in 1885 from the Mary Rose, an English man-of-war, sunk by the French in a battle near Portsmouth in 1545. Some of the cast iron balls, with which the cannon weer loaded. should have weighed 30 pounds, but others that should have weighed ll pounds tipped the scales at only 40. On being exposed 10 the air they be- came red hot and fell to pieces.
 In 1882, cast iron cannoN Sat went down with a pirate ship off Holyhead Wales, nearly century before. were raised. They were soft when recoN- cred. but hardened upon being ex- posed to the air. Later when used to fire salutes they were said to have made louder reports than any other guns.
 Several cast iron guns of the Ffor- ida. one of the Spanish Amanda, sunk in 1888 were raised in l740, and upon scraping away the corroded surface became so hot they could not be touched.
 Some of the phenomena mentioned, 1t is explained. are due to the fact that gray" cast iron, the kind most readily attacked, contains several per cent of carbon by weight. The car bon is not dissolved by salt or aka line water, which eats away tne lioii and hence, although the dimensions of the casting may remain un- changed. it's specific gravity and it's weight will be reduced
 Protective measures, it is ex- plained, consist of\ keeping the in- furious water away from the surface of the casting or of neutralizing it's action. Failing in these, 1t is pointed out, If the castings are of kind Of iron subject to attack, one can only follow the example of the circus man who exhibited lion and lamb peacefully occupying the sane cage, and found it necessary occasionally to renew the lamb.

we feel by our very independence
that we can do good
McWhite said the Irish delegation
would throw its weight on the side
of international cooperation. through
the league. The world need have no
fear. he added, that Ireland's ad-
mission would mean another vote in
the assembly for England.
Speaking of diplomatic relation

A fascinating story of treausure is that unfolded in "The Golden Gift,' Alice Lakes latest starring picture for Metro, which will be shown to- night at the Empress Theater. But the treasure is not that usually as- sociated in the public mind with gold en gifts; it is treasure far more precious, about which is woven a stirring story of love and adventure. who with a young child to support finds herself thrown upon her own resources through the assertion of her husband She goes to a border dance hall and, leaving the child to be taken care of at the old Mission, becomes a famous opera singer. At the height of her career she dis covers that the man she loves has become a guardian to her child and she finds the treasure she seeks is really golden gift.
 The picture gives Alice Lake a chance to display again her wonder ful dancing ability, and this star, who won fame for herself by her artistic dances before going to the screen, takes full advantage of it in her latest picture. In the cast supporting her are John Bowers, Harriet Ham, mond, Joseph Swichard, Bridgetta Clark. Louis Dumar, Godfrey Webb and Camilla Clark. "The Golden Gift" is a Maxwell Karger production. It was adapted by Florence Hein from a story by June Mathis. John Boyle was the photographer.
