WILD LIFE PRESERVE
ESTABLISHED AT YALE
Omitted Preas)

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 5.
A unique development in educa.
tional work by colleges or uni
versities has been undertaken by
Yale University with the aid and
approval Of the Yale Athletic AS
sociation, in setting aside 200 acres
Of the Ray Tompkins Memorial
tract, near the new Yale golf
course, as a preserve for native
plant and wild life of New Eng
land.
The preserve will serve as a
sanctuary for animals and plants
and will also be used for field
studies and instruction IN the de-
partments Of Botany, Zoology and
Forestry. Every effort will be
made to gather all the various
species and varieties of plant and
animal life common to this sec.
tion in the preserve.
A start has already been made
as the tract has been we'll protec
ted for many years, once havins
been part Of the deer and ell
park of John M. Greist, before i
was brought as a gift for the Uni
versity by Mrs. Sarah Wey Tomp
kins of Elmira, N. Y. as a mem
orial to her husband, former
Yale football star.
The gift comprised 750 acres il
all, located near the great Yale
bowl, and was primarily to pro
vide room for the development o1

FEDERAL AID ON ROADS
INVESTMENT, NOT GRATU1TY
SAY HIGHWAY OFFICIALS S

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 21.
That Federal Aid in highway
work is not gratuity to states but
sound investment is a matttr to
which public attention is invited
by the American Association of
State Highway Officials in state
ment recently issued bearing upon
the method of apportioning funds
authorized by Congress for road
construction. The statement
points out that with approximately
eight billion dollars already in
vested in automobile vehicles and
only about one billion year go
ing into highways, sixty per cent
Of which is applied to local roads,
there is ample room for the pro-
fitable investment of public funds
in modern highways as the only
practical way to offset vehicle op-
Grating waste.
$50 far as the taxpayer Is con-
cerned in any suggested curtail-
ment in road building, it is simply
question whether he tprefers to
save at the spigot rather than to
stop waste at the bung hole. To
slacken in road building and not
slacken in road use-a thing which
is impossible-would prove one ot
the most costly experiments at
saving ever attempted in this
country"
Concerning the appointment Of
Federal funds in joint cooperation
with states in thtir efforts to build
roads that save instead of roads
that waste, the official statement
says: "Much time was given to
the study of the most esuitable
method for distribution of the
Federal funds. Post road mileage
was Immediately admitted as one
factor, for the Federal government
was every day using hundreds of
thousands Of miles Of highway for
the distribution Of mail.
Population was agreed upon as
one which naturally carried with
It also the relationship to wealth.

Leonard put III an appearance at
a local gymnasium last week and
went thru strenuous workout.

he admitted. This brought up the
question of his mothr's permission.
"Well, perhaps if I can prevail
upon her to change her mind. TN
be among those present next sum-
mer," the former undefeated light
weight champion said.
Benney has never admitted the
possibility of his return to the
ring, altho everyone knew it was
just matter of time, just as
everyone expects Jack Dempsey
to take one more slam at half a
million or so before he really re-
tires.
Leonard is one Of the best draw
ing cards in fistianna, and was
without question one of the two or
three greatest lightweights of all
time.
When asked about his probable
return, Leonard referred constant
ly to "next summer" but it would
not be surprising if he permitted
himself to be persuaded to en-
bellish Tex Richards new Madi-
son Square arden one Of those

BENNY LEONARD

RETURN AFTER FIVE
YEARS IN THE .ARTIC
(United NeWsl

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 5.-Af-
ter five years in the Artic, Lyman
de Staffany and Gus de Staffney,
Montana fortune hunters and fur
traders, have returned to the
United States, bringing with them
evidence which they declare shows
that the Artic Ocean at one time
probably covered a large portion
Of the land now occupied by Es-
kilnoS.
Tie two men found sea shells
and other indications of marine
life mileg in the interior. Thous-
ands Of years ago, they reasoned
after the discovery, great tides
had extended far over what is
now dry land.
81 was startled by what I dis
covered on our journeys, Gus de
Staffany, who made scientific OBJ
servations in the north, said.
'"The tides evidently had ebbed
and flowed over the land now oc-
cupied bv the Artic tribes of the
Queen Maud Sea country.
"We talked oyer the results Of
our observations and came to the
conclusion that many thousands
of years ago, tides probably hun
dreds of feet high swept far into
what is now the interior Of the
Canadian Artic."
Staffany said that this belief
gave rise to the question, as yet
unanswered, as to what caused the
tide phenomena.
''Is the top of the world leaning
at different angle? ?" he asked.
"Or did the moon, thousands of
years ago, have tremendous
tide raising power which it now
has lost? Is the Artic Ocean re-
ceding toward the North Pole?"
eve found the ruins of an an
cient stone village three-quarters
of a mile from the mouth of the
1nman river Of the Eastern Arc
tic," he continued. ''It was pro-
badly the home of Eskimos of the
stone age, as the Artic natives of
the present day live in snow
houses and tepees made of skin.
"None of the people we talked
with there knew who built the
stone houses. They were there
when their fathers came and the
covering of sand and silt showed
1T had been thousands of years
since they composed the center of
a villoge which probably was To-
Gated at the mouth of the Inman
river"
The De Staffany expedition
started in small schooner built
in Vancouver, B. C. The vessel
was named the Emma Jane and
served throughout the fiveyears
in the Artic. At the conclusion Of
the trip she was sold to the Hud-
son Bay company at Herschel is
land. A fortune in furs, gather
led during the stay, was sold here.

gree. Area was chosen because it
carried with it the problem of the
growth Of the states in their de-
velopment and the further facts
that the Federal government owns
much area in states which cam
not add to population or road miles
on that account.
taxable property was elimin-
ated as an element for considera-
ton because there is no equalized
method of assessment of property
| for taxable purposes. Some
staes assess on one-third value,
some on one-half value and some
try to asess on full value. The
Federal government having no po-
wer over these varying methods
could not righteously use taxable
property as one of the elements in
selecting a plan for distribution of
Federal funds.
Wealth Of states was recogniz-
ed since population gives virtually
the same element. Wealth alone
could not be considered, for then
tho real purpose Of Federal gov
ernment appropriations to equal
ize the funds between states
would be frustrated. The problem
between states is the same that
between counties. In every state
in the Union the wealthy counties
contribute more to certain state
enterprises than they seemingly
get In return and in every state
in the Union there are poor coun-
: ties that contribute less than they
seem to receive. This same rela-
tionship obtains in national af-
fairs between New York and Ne
vada.
"But the government did not
stop with an appropriation. No
vember 8, 1921 will stand out as
one Of the great days in Congress
sional alton on the entire high
way program. In addition to max
ing appropriation to be expended
in cooperation with the states, the
law approved on this day provided
for definite system of roads to
be constructed with funds from
both the Federal and State trea-
suries. This system was limited to
seven per cent of tach states total
r"ad mileage. Seven per cent was
chosen because it was found that
this mileage would connect all the
county seats and main market
centers. Provision was made to
extend the first seven percent as
it was completed. realizing that
some states had already improved
a considerable road mileage and
would therefore be entitled to an
early extension of the system.
This system is approximately goo,
600 miles and is today little less
than one half improved"
