The Field Museum of Natural His
tory of Chicago is to be enriched by
one of the most important collections
of extinct mammals that has ever
been discovered by any expedition as
a result of six months of exploration
in southern Bolivia under the direc-
ton of Prof. Elmer S. Riggs, as
sistant curator of the museum, who
has returned to Buenos Aires on his
way to Patagonia to resume eXplora-
ton work which he left off there
when Winter began.
The Importance of his rich find can
be judged from the fact that it en-
braces fossils of at least 10 prehis-
toric monsters, including the we'll
known maStadon and the less famil-
lar scelicodon and scedidothcrium.
One of his discoveries was the fossil
of llama almost as big as the mod
ern camel.
Party on Trip Two Years.
Prof. Riggs went to Argentina two
years ago to look for fossils in the
southern region of Argentine known
as Patagonia, which is recognized as
one of the worlds richest fossil de-
posits. The Patagonian Winter,
which is very severe, interrupted his
work and caused him to finish the
year in exploration in the Bolivian
Province Of Tarija, across the from
tier from Argentina. Some of the
best specimens of glyptodon We're
found within four miles of the city
of Tarija, the capital of the province
The first great glyptodon find was
discovered by two dozen little fossil
biscuits on a ridge, and after many
days digging the entire animal was
uncovered. The great fossil beast was
lying upside down on the ridge. EX-
cavation was necessary from above,
the hollow shell when entirely un-
covered being filled in with clay and
carefully reinforced, then covered with
bandages of sacking saturated in
plaster Of paris. When entirely un-
covered the fossilized remains of the
prehistoric ancestor of the little South
American armadillo was found to
measure 5 feet inches in length
Later glyptodons We're found by the
hundreds in the valley. One member
of the glyptodon family found by Prof.
Riggs has a pattern of rosettes on its
petrified TAIL while another has shell
bearing a resemblance to a coat of
mail. The latter carried a war club
on the end of it's tail. Each ring spot
on the tail had a spike like the horn
of a rhinoceros.
Continent Once Isolated.
Prof. Riggs found the Tarija Valley
to be full of interesting records indi
eating it was the meeting place be
tween two great migrations of animal
life from Patagonia and from North
America. 1t is explained that in 2
long past geologic period the continent
of South America was isolated from
that of North America and the other
continents, so that a system of plant
and animal life developed .there which

Reports From Local Com

Than Expectations.

Exceeding all expectations, the San
Antonio Compress Company, located
at South Brazos street and the South
ern Pacific tracks. has now passed
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-10-18

the 16,000-balc mark with indica-
tons that more than 10000 bales of
cotton will pass through the compress
this year.
The number of bales already com
pressed and the fact that more are
coming in. according to officials Of
the compress, is an indication that
conditions in the surrounding terri.
tory are better than was expected fol
lowing the long period of drouth.
Although many times this number
of bales is handled during a bumper
year, Herman Gee, vice president and
general manager of the company said
very few expected the run to 60 rs
high as it has.
CITY'S ONLY PLANT.
The compress company, according
TO business men who are watching
its growth, is one of the spokes in the
industrial wheel of the city, about
which very little is known.
1t is the only compress COMPANY
Of San Antonio and is said to be q
model plant of the South. At the
present time it carries the lowest IN
surance ratccf any compress and
cotton storage house in the state.
Representing an investment Of
S250,000, the present plant of the
company was begun last April. The
first bale of cotton was compressed
July ].
EMPLOYS 100 MEN.
The plant is a 100 per cent San
Antonio organization, being financed
locally and built by local contract
and labor.
In normal times the plant employs
approximately 100 men and has
weekly cash payroll of between $500
and $4,000. 1t operates an average
of 40 weeks out Of the year.
The new plant took the place of
smaller plant formerly located in the
1900 block Of South Presa street.

Shut-ins, Children, Men of
Affairs Pause to
Hear VICAR.

The Light has found a warmer
place in the hearts of many thousands
of San Antonians during the past two
weeks.
Add to these thousands more who
do not live in San Antonio, who know
of the Alamo City only as a spot on
the map.
The answer? Radio and the world
series.
For four months baseball reports
have been broadcast daily from the
office OF The San Antonio Light,
through the plant of the Southern
Radio Corporation. Daily the joys
and sorrows of the Texas League were
fed into the al: by means of small
100-watt transmitter.
The range of this radio station was
small. Transmission of the reports
through a noisy, busy office from a
ball park where fans were anything
but silent made it difficult to give
radio listeners clear, uninterrupted re-
turns. But The Light did the best it
could with the means at its disposal,
and baseball fans appreciated it.
SURPRISE FOR FANS.
They knew The Light was giving
out this broadcast merely as a service
to baseball fans unable, for one reason
or another, to attend the games. Many
of them found time to thank those who
put the daily programs on the air.
Then came the world series. San
Antonio baseballdcm, as a matter OF
habit. tuned their receiving sets to
VICAR, expecting to hear the IA
miliar voice of the old reliable 100
waiter.
What they heard was the new 5000
watt station, VICAR, recently launch
ed upon its new field with the COM
ment by the United States radio in
spector that its wave was among the
clearest and sharpest to which he had
ever tuned a set.
LIGHT REAPS REWARD.
1t was then that The Light began
to reap the reward of the long, hot
days of summer when suffering an
nouncers sweltered into microphones
al gave to a waiting world the in
formation that Rosy had smacked an
other over the left field fence.
The fans remembered it, and stood
by VICAR for the world series. Tele-
grams, letters, messages by the thou
sands poured into The Light office,
congratulating all and sundry upon
the broadcast which was the next best
thing to a trip TO the world series
itself. 1t was q landslide.
But then came other letters-a diff
ferent sort. Invalids, crippled sol
diers, the bed-ridden. All these were
represented among the floods Of let
tiers which came to the station. TheiI
messages told of pain made more bear,
able, of sickness transformed into
something more tolerable, through thu
voice of radio.
