Grand Canyon Yields
Pre-Dinosaur Fossils

New finds Of footprints of reptiles
left in soft sand at least 25,0OO,OO0
years ago have been made in sand
stone 1900 feet down from the rim Of
the Grand canyon. This Is the great
est depth In the canyon at which such
prints have been found
The level at which the fossil plants
and reptiles have been found belongs
to the latter part Of the carboniferous
period, or the time when the great
coal beds Of the world were being
formed, and was a few million years
before the famous reign Of the dino
saurs.
One specimen shows q row of tracks
very much like mouse tracks i'm
pressed In a small slab Of red stone,
and In among the tiny footprints is
wavy line which represents the track
Of the animals tail. Other exhibits
show prints larger than a mans hand,
indicating that some Of the reptilian
creatures of this age may have be-
come as large as crocodiles. No bones
OF these creatures have been found In
the Grand canyon, though some bones
of reptiles making similar tracks have
been found elsewhere.-New York

Spot Made Famous by
Genius of Alexander

The site of the most brilliant coup
Of Alexander the Greats campaign 10
India has been located by the emil
nent archeologist, Sir Aurel Stein, &C.
cording to dispatches received In this
country.
In section of the hills Of Upper
Swat known as Torwal, near the
northern frontier, Sir Aurel believes
that he has identified the site of the
fortress of Aornos, captured from the
warlike hill tribes by Alexander in S27
B. @. According to the classical his
torians the stronghold was perched on
rock over the river Indus and had
even resisted the attacks of the legen-
dairy Hercules.
The particular features Of the rough
and rocky regions which suggested
this site are said to agree more close
ly with the account Of the Greek his
torian Arrian than q previous tenta-
tive location at Mahaban. The stra-
tegic value Of this hill country has
been appreciated and utilized by petty
chieftains down to the present day,
and 1t Is only recently that conditions
have been sufficiently settled to allow
archaeological exploration. ...

bers of the Order, were not given a
chance to even figure jobs. One white
firm received for printing in 1924-25
the sum of $3,912.08, which ought to
have gone to help build up colored
newspapers and job printing offices.
In his appeal to the members of
the Order, Pace pledges himself to
correct these conditions, asserting
that ELK money ought to be spent
with Elks." His platform is to give
all the Orders printing as well as it's
regalia work to colored business
houses, to deposit the Orders funds
under proper safeguards in our
strong and we'll managed banking in
situations, to urge the investment of
the large amounts of unnecessary
cash balances in first mortgages to
help lodges buy their own homes, and
to reduce the unnecessary high taxes
and useless expenditures of the Grand
Lodge.

ing every other candidate away
Bates has built up a machine which
has it's clutches firmly upon the finan-
cial structure of the Order. In
PAGES campaign he has dug into the
finances of the Order and has brought
to light many transactions by which
the membership had been deceived
by both the Grand Secretary Bates
and the Grand Treasurer Carter, who
it is alleged, has been merely a sort
of rubber stamp for Bates, who per-
sonally has dominated Carter's every
action.
DR.. o. C. Clayborne, now of Gary
Ind, but formerly of Huntsville, Ala,
and who was a Grand Auditor for
several years, has also brought to
light the fact that a shortage in the
accounts of the Grand Secretary
amount to $500, was never salts
factorily explained nor made good by
the Grand Secretary Bates.
Bates Shrewd Politician.
One of the oldest political tricks
which has been employed by Bates
has been to draw attention away from
himself and his long tenure of Office
by setting up a contest for the Grand
Exalted Rulers position year after
year. He has been continually at war
with the present Grand Exalted Rul-
er ]. Finley Wilson throughout his
several administrations, largely be-
cause Wilson insisted on exercising
the authority of his own Office, which
Bates usurped from some of Wilson S
less positive predecessors.
Notwithstanding Bates constant
and repeated denunciation of Wilson,
he has sought to claim credit for the
growth of the Order to which growth
he has made little or no contribu-
ton. Although the Grand Lodge
pays him $4,000 a year salary, two
clerks, Office rent and expenses sum-
ing into big figures, Bates gives the
Order only his time after his Office
hours at the Pennsylvania Station
Money i'm White Banks.
Some lay members who are good
at figures are beginning to realize
that the Order has been run largely
for the financial profit of Bates, who
has drawn in salary over $4,000
from the treasury of the organization
for work done after shutdown. In
addition to this he drew in one year
$2,1SS for back expenses" The
question is now being asked way Ito
what purpose is the payment of
taXes?''
The bulk of the Orders money has
been for many years in white banks
at unfavorable interest rates in one
southern city, while colored banks
are given the smaller accounts and
required to give bonds to secure the
deposits. The Orders printing, is
sued out by Bates, was given entire
ly during the past year to white
printer while colored printers, men,

FREAK LIGHTNING CUTS
OFF LITTLE GIRLS FOOT

Here is a story that is as freakish
as the path of the streak of lightning
that caused it.
This particular streak Of lightning
might have been crooked, but it
struck and clipped off the foot of
Brigada Garcia, II years old, as clean
as though the deed had been done with
a cleaver in the hands of a powerful
giant.
The little girl was sitting close to
stove in her home near Mariana.
The lightning struck the chimney,
came down the stove and flashed over
and clipped off the little girls right
foot close to the ankle, not even
knocking her out Of her chair or dis
turbing other children who were play
ing in the room at the time. So clean
was the operation that no surgical
operation was necessary afterwards,
according to local sturgeon who at
tended the case. The only medical
attention that was necessary was
dressing the foot The bone, it was
said, had not been shattered by the
bolt, but left clean as the work of an
experienced surgeon.
There is an earth floor in the Gar
cia home, it was said, and it is be-
lieved the bolt of lightning was
grounding itself when it struck the
girls foot in its path.
Another strange part of the inci-
dent is in the fact that nothing else
in the room was disturbed. The stove
was left standing and several other
children playing in the room at the
time felt no shock.
