FOSSILS FROM THE ICE AGE
Men, Women and Great Variety
Of Animals.

Skeletons of prehistoric men and
women from the ice ages, mammoth,
two lions, a hyena, a wolverine, five
cave bears and at least sixty fossil
beavers have been found in the vast
system of underground palaces formed
by nature in the limestone rock of cen
tral MOravla now being explored by Or.
Karel AbsOlOn, curator of the BrnO

Hrdlicka Of the United States Nation
al museum, who is In Europe studying
cave men for the United States Smith
sOnlan Institution, will report these dis
cOveries in a communication to the next
issue of Science.
The skeletons of many of these mann
mails of the glacial period Of the
earth's history are in an excellent state
OF preservation, he says. The cave
bears remains are almost complete and
will be mounted as a group In the Pro
vinclal museum at BrnO (Brunn), while
the teeth and skulls Of the beavers are
also considered of highest scientific
value
The great subterranean halls, with
their numerous columns, stalactite and
stalagmite forms, are being energetical-
ly explored and are said to rival in
beauty the famous caverns In Virginia
and Kentucky.

A letter approved ana signed by
DR.. H. V. Holloway, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, is being
sent to all the Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations, Community Clubs, and Junior
Associations, of the State of Della
ware, suggesting that they place "the
American Educator in their schools.
The American Educator was put on
the official supplementary text book
list for Delaware by the State Board
of Education at its meeting of Octo-
Der 26, 1923. Much credit will 20 to
the Parent-Teacher Associations of
the State for carrying out this plan
as their cooperation and enthusiasm
will make up for the lack of funds
for school equipment that makes it
impossible for the State to purchase
the much desired and needed work for
the schools.

PUBLIC SALE

The season for holding public
sales is now here. If you are con-
sidering holding a sale this month
your first thought should be to get
a crowd to the sale.
In order to get a large gathering
of persons it is necessary to put
your sale advertisements before
a large number of persons.
For years THE SMYRNA TIMES
has made a speciality of public
sale advertising in season, with
the result that THE TIMES has
become the public sale advertis-
ing medium of upper Kent and
lower New Castle Counties. Each
year The Smyrna Times has be-
come more and more a public sale
medium.

RESULTS

No matter where you live in up
per Kent or lower New Castle
Counties, THE SMYRNA TIMES
can interest buyers to your farm
on sale day. The crowd is what
you desire and what you must
have if your sale is to be a success
We grant that there are some
newspapers in both Kent and
New Castle Counties which would
be glad to have your business, but
if your public sale is in this vicin-
ity, you need to use a medium that
will pay you. THE TIMES covers
a splendid farming territory in
both Counties.

PERSHING QUITS; PAY GOES ON

WASHINGTON-G John ]. Per-
shing gave up a pretty good job when
he retired from the U. S. army last
week but his pay goes on just the
same
Usually army officers are retired on
half pay when they quit but BLACK
Jack" will still receive his yearly
stipend of $13,500. Active service al
lowances of $500 year for quarters
and $1,000 a year for heat and light
will stop. But the general can get
along very comfortably on the nice
sum left.
Pershing's pay is three times what
George Washington received and al
most twice what Gen. Grant drew. 1t
is much more than Sherman and Sher-
idan drew. The four, with Pershing,
are the only generals in American
history, except two who were tempo
rarily given the rank during the
World war.
Unless Congress revives it, PERISH
ings grade will cease with his retire
ment 1t was revived during the war
so he would have equal rank with the
European commanders. He was the
first full general since the retirement
of Gen. Sheridan N 1888.
AS Lieut. General, George Washing
ton received $3.50 a month, plus $50
for horse feed and $240 for rations,
making the monthly total $40.
Grants active pay was $500 month
plus $500 for fuel and quarters, $3.50
for rations and $50 for forage. Sher
man drew the same amount. Sher-
man and Grant were given full re-
tirement pay-$13,500 year. Sher-
idan, while full general, was paid
$15,0000 year.
Washington refused to accept the
$4,000 monthly salary voted him by
the Continental Congress in 1775,
when he was a full general.
