Fishdog Something NeuO

Dogfish aren't so scarce. but who
ever heard of fishdog, asks the Bos-
ton Globe, which proceeds to relate
than Capt. Russell N. Pernette, Cob
bosseecontee guide, owns one and her
name is Echo. She is a pointer, and
points fish as well as game. Echo goes
fishing for herself, too. She wades into
the water until it is half up to her
body, stands still, and when a perch
or sunfsh comes along, snaps it up
In a jiffy. She uses no bait and her
fish never gets away. Echo is get
ting along in years, but clever dog
that she is. she's paying the price of
seeking her pleasure in an unnatural
environment. She's getting all "done
up with the rheumatic" and has to do
all her fishing now when her master
isn't looking.

Found Petrifed Egg

A schoolboy playing in the sage
brush a few miles from Kuna recently
picked up what is believed to be a
petrified egg. Speculation is now rife
as to whether 1t is that of a dinosaur
and similar to those found some time
ago in the desert of Cobb, Mongolia,
says an Associated Press dispatch from
Boise, Idaho.
In size the Idaho specimen is four
and thirteen-sixteenths inches long and
three and nine-sixteenths inches in di-
ameter The outer surface is dark
ochre in color the inside a dirty
lemon, and it shows complete mineral
replacement.
Some time ago the remains of five
footed horse were discovered near
Homedale, and once the skull of a
rhinoceros was found imbedded at the

Morley Expedition to Yucca

the mystery which surrounds the his
tory of America during period dat
ing back 5000 years, the Morley
archaeological expedition, sponsored by
the Carnegie foundation, has plunged
into the prlmeval country in the vi

their stay the party will keep In touch
with New Orleans by radio and obtain
their supplies from this port.
The party includes DR.: Sylvanus q.

gists Of the United States; Earl d.
Morris, excavation expert; Mrs. Morris
Monroe Amsden and Mrs. Alma Reed.
The latter, who is a newspaper woman
was engaged to marry Felipe GARLIC,
governor of Yucatan, when he was as
sassinated. She is making the trip
largely because she knew GARLIC was
interested in the expedition, which was
planned long before his death.

BAPTIST MINISTER GIVES
TANLAC FULL CREDIT

No greater praise can be accorded
a medicine than the voluntary testi-
mony of minister of the gospel. The
preachers high calling puts grave
responsibility on his every word, and
he will not jeopardize his reputation
by commencing thing without first
assuring himself it is all right.
Tanlac has been endorsed by num-
bers of prominent minister's. They
have put Tanlac to the test of per-
Sonal service and their words carry
conviction because they say what they
know to be the truth.
One of the latest to speak out in
behalf of Tanlac is Rev. B. E. Bell. a
retired Baptist minister, 207 Elm St.,
San Antonio, Texas, who says:
Before taking Tanlac 1 had suf-

OLD THINGS VALUED
FOR NEW PURPOSES
Potentialities Developed By
Each Generation.

How many things are usedP Nobody
knows.
Things are accommodating so fast
In the United States that there can no
longer be any record of their number
or use, says the national foreign trade
council. Each generation has new
uses for old things.
The United States war supplies
catalogue for the last war year con-
tanned 10000 separate items, involv-
ing millions of things and billions Of
values. One of these was coconut
shells.
Coconuts were originally used for
food by natives of tropical countries,
and by monkeys to hurl at unwary
visitors. Later a hundred million
pounds yearly came to be imported
into the United States, for a half
dozen food uses. Then the United
States army used coconut shells to
make absorbent charcoal for gas
masks.
Cotton is a thing, a flower, a moth
Ing. One hundred and thirty years ago
1t was maintained in the United
States congress that is was a non
productive plant for Americans. In
cotton played chief role. Thousands
of factories were kept busy using cot
ton to make underwear, tents, Sheets
socks, tire materials, smokeless pow
der, hospital absorbent cotton, Irvine,
haversacks.
There are 200 listed articles made
of cotton by American factories.
There are probably 1000 different
uses of cotton.
Silk was once limited in it's uses
Today there are 125 common uses and
kinds of natural and artificial silk
Wood once had a few primary uses,
for the making of spears or canoes or
as fire wood, then for houses. To-day
there are listed 10S uses of wood
Under the word fiber, without respect
to kind, there are ninety-one classes
and kinds, ranging from shoestrings
to pushes
The word oil suggests few uses,
castor oil. There are 1876 chief kinds
of oil, from Chinese tung to rosemary.
There are seventy general uses and
kinds of steel, from corset ribs to
ships, with an uncountable variation
of uses.
Whence do they come, all these
things? Nobody knows. 1t is esti-
mated they come from 139 different
countries or ports They may come
from the air, the latest source of
nitrates. In the United States alone
100000 industrial plants use $4,000
100000 worth of worldwide materials
to make things, for American comfort
and convenience, or to resell abroad.
What are things worth? Nobody
knows. A rough estimate of the
wealth of nations varies from $1,000
0O0000,000 to $1,50OOOO,0 100000.
What are things? Everybody
knows and nobody can tell. The
word thing is one of the most COM
mon in the speech of many peoples.
There are 1850 important references
to it in the Bible One standard die
tionary uses seven and one-half col
umns of fine type to try to define the
word thing. 1t uses eighteen main
distinctions Of meaning and dozens Of
subdivisions.
The substance Of these distinctions
is that a thing is a thing, and that
there are lot of them.

HUNT AMERICAN LORE
OF 5000 YEARS AGO

ica's earliest civilization More than
100 Maya Indians, descendants of
tribes which once dominated south
ern Mexico, will remove the soil which
has accumulated over ancient pal
aces and tombs Of kings in the last
5000 years.
Doctor Morley believes that riches
far more valuable than those found in
the tomb of King Tut, and even more
interesting to Americans, will be re-
vealed before the work Of the expedi-
ton Is completed. Although only the
surface has been touched, priceless
ornaments of jade have already been
found. The meager records of the
Mayas indicate they were a powerful
tribe, with a civilization which, in a
measure, challenges the grandeur that
was Greece and the glory that was
Rome.
