GIVES IDEA OF MAMMOTH
 THAT ROAMED ALASKA
College in Fairbanks Is Securing
 Some Very Excellent Specimens

A scant 25 900 10 10000 years ago aa gcnlogists mark off the cons Of time. the long haired mammoth dom mated the larger animals living in Alaska. says the Fairbanks News 1 Miner. His supremacy depended not alone on mum bers for. standing as he 1 did, about nine and one-half feet in height, weighing at least two tons, and equipped with long spiral tusks with points directed inward. so fash toned as to catch an adversary for 1 the deadly backward toss. he roamed l the lowlands free from fear of any lliving enemy. For protection again tst q rigorous climate he had an lunder coat of wool and an overcoat of yellowish brown woody hair cover ling the entire body. lnterspersed with these was Il large number of longer and thicker hairs which form ed mane-like patches on the cheeks, chin and Hanks of tho animal.
 IL is easy to read the description ! of animals of these proportions with out actually getting true mental i. picture of this great giant among all the auadrupeds. If these animals had persisted in Alaska to the pres ent day and we should suddenly en- counter one on the trail. the modern big.game rife would prove of little avail. The soft-nose bullet would be fattened and retarded in penetrat- l ing the thick tough hide and heavy
 flesh pads and only by chance would
 the vitals be reached.
 But the mammoth did not survive, land today We must visualize his great ibulk from skeleton remains uncover
 ed chiefly in the placers. Tom smith of Nenana recently secured from the Manley Hot Springs an exceptionally well preserved thigh bone of one of
 these animals, and this bone, which lis now al the college. serves better than anything else to designate the {, smoth. This thigh bone alone has dry weight of about i5 pounds. is three feet in length and al the ball land socket hip joint is 3i inches in

 moth exceeded in number any other
 large animal in the northern part Of , our continent The bison ranked 7 ,second and the wild horses and the
 caribou existed in lesser but import
 ant numbers. The placers of Alas . ka have not yielded any large quan- tity of horse bones and the impress
 ion has generally prevailed that the horse was rare during the time of . the mammoth. On the contrary,
 however, he probably existed in con
 tSiderablo numbers but his grazing
 area kept him out of the stream bot
 toms much of the time and hence his bon"S would not often appear in the placers.
 At Hot Springs, however. two well
 preserved horse skulls and several
 leg bones were found in close associ- 'aton with the thigh bone of the

 Thomas said it was his opinion that Jones had not. and when pressed in cross-examination to state in what respect he had failed to live after the manner of one civilized. Thomas said that Jones regarded himself as the successor of Chief Shakes and chief of the Non-ni-ah-y clan; that h." could not read or write: that he lived on an Indian Reserve: and that his house was not painted. The other witnesses testified in like manner.> In well considered opinion. Juds" Thomas Reed disposed of all legal questions, the important points being as follows:
 Every Indian born within the t"r- ritorial limits of the United States who has voluntarily taken up withil l said limits his residence, septrlt' and apart from any tribe of Indian.

Interstate Motor To
Sell Cleveland Stutz
New Concern Open For Business With Complete
Line Of Popular Skies

62S7. Those in charge are well quail
flied for the conducting of such an en-
terprise, Mr.. Rousseau having had more
than 10 years practical and varied ex-
perience in the automobile business and
likewise the other members of the firm
are men of wide experience and bust
ness judgment.
1t has been some time since the Stutz
has been represented in Birmingham
and in speaking of this. line Mr.. Rous-
seau says: This will probably be the
first opportunity many people in Bir-
mingham have had to see the greater
Stutz line, comprising IA exquisite body
STYLES and three exclusive chassis and
we may safely say that never were
such fine cars priced SO low. The
quality is, of course, on a par with
the genuine and original Stutz car
which won such a loyal clientele, These
cars are the sort of automobile which
the motorist of experience and knowl-
edge accords his unstinted praise and
admiration. We will have all types on
display and ready for demonstration.
The Cleveland needs no introduction
to Birmingham motorists, and the new
firms ability to render n service in
every way acceptable is unquestioned
since it possesses ample facilities and
operates on the policy that every Cleve-
land owner must be satisfied. The In
terstate extends a cordial welcome to
all present owners of the Cleveland six,
and to all others, to come in and see
the new models on display and
to become acquainted with the policies
and unusual facilities for service pro-
vided by the new distributor.
The Cleveland is a six-cylinder car
selling for $1,045 in the touring car
type, and is also made in sport model,
sedan and four-door sedan.

as result of collision April 10, 1922,
in which her automobile was involved.
The plaintiffs alleged they were thrown
from the automobile with which the
defendants car collided. So far the
case is not particularly unusual unless
it is the amount of the damages award
ed. But: The defendant was not in
her machine at the time.
The law holds that the owner of a
car is liable for injuries it may inflict.
BY the same token a railroad company
Is sued for damages in the event of
accident. But we do not know whether
the heavy damages awarded are equit-
able.
A study of damage suits shows that
in our large eastern cities thereyare few
motor owners on juries with the result
that motor car owners who appear as
defendants are given the limit. In the
middle west where car owners are more
predominant than in the city, half the
average jury is made up of those who
own automobiles. And the awards are
quite different.
II the pedestrian took half the care
to protect himself that the motor car
owner does to protect the pedestrian,
there would not be half as many acct
uents. The person who doubts this
statement need do nothing more than
study accident statistics. Jay-walking
z the commonest cause of accidents.
People have rights in the streets, but
they should use crossings and they
should obey traffic signals.
The time is rapidly coming when
pedestrians for their own safety will
pc compelled to heed traffic signals and
regulations just like the motorist. The
motorIst who disobeys is at once sum-
moned. The pedestrian doesn't even
get "a call-down. He goes on his way
unmoiested. For his own good this
should be changed.

Oil pressure drops generally because
of the thinness of the oil, or wear in
the bearings. However, slow leak
will drop the pressure; worn pump
gears also. l think your trouble is
due to a combination of thin oil that
is not changed often enough and wear
in the main bearings.

There is no immediate harm done. but
the practice is harmful ina cumulative

Too many people suffer lame, ach-
