mission of Fine Arts. The site final
announced today, is on the south
roadway of East Potomac Park. in
the vicinity of the field house of the

This selection was made. it was
said. because OF the straightaway
view down the Potomac as far as
Alexandria.
Several sites were suggested. one
at the junction of north B street and
the Potomac River. 1t was pointed
out that this would be a correspond :
ing piece to the Ericsson memorial
at the junction at south B street and
the Potomac River. The site at the
head of Sixteenth street northwest.

Eested, but rejected as undesira BILE
because of no water background.
The site in East Pc omac Park
will involve some changes in the
roadway here. according to Mai
Grant. and these may be made al
any time in conformity with other
plans laid down for the treatment
of this particular area.
1t Is not known when the memorial
will be erected. as it is said that the
plans have not vet been COMPLETED

FINDS FOOTPRINTS MADE In SAND
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION YEARS AGO
DIR. Charles w. Gilmore, Paleontologist, Has Speci-
mems of Tracks of Extinct Animals Discovered
in Grand Canyon of Colorado.
Such an exhibit has been prepared

Such an exhibit has been prepared
On the Hermit Trail by DIR. Gilmore,
In addition to the specimens brought
to Washington. The tracks include
those Of new and unknown species
that lived in the wet sand OF this
region when the earth was much
younger. The Smithsonian Institution
hopes later to do similar work In other
localities and to take steps to preserve
such natural phenomena
THE great antiquity Of these foot
prints, which occur from 800 to 1,OS0
feet below the level of the present rim
OF the canyon" says DR.. Gilmore, is
clearly demonstrated at this locality.
1T Is obvious that since the day
when those animals impressed their
feet in what at that time was moist
sand more than 1000 feet of rock
making materials were piled up In
successive strata above them, and this
does not take into account many hun
dreds Of feet more that have been
eroded Off from the present top of the
canyon wall.
THE great length Of time required
for the cutting away or erosion of the
rock to form the deep canyon, and the
even longer time necessary for the
original deposition Of this great mass
Of stone is, when translated into terms
OF years. II that we're possible, 80
stupendous as to be almost beyond
human comprehension.
'1t Is hoped that the object lesson
so graphically taught by this unique
exhibit may serve as an example to
stimulate the preparation and preSer-
walton of other natural phenomena to
be found in our Government-cont
parks. monuments and reservations" "

SEES ONE CHANGE NEEDED
Assistant Secretary Husband
Would Amend Immigration Law.

The chief change that Walter w.
Husband, second Assistant Secretary
of Labor, and authority on immigra-
ton problems. would like to see made
In the immigration laws as they now
stand would be the placing of the
widowed mother Of an American cit
izen and the husband Of an American
citizen in the non-quota class, ac-
cording to a statement made last eve
ming by Mr.. Husband at the meeting
OF the Columbian Women OF George
Washington University. The wife Of
an American citizen already has this
favorable position under the immigra-
ton laws
Mr. Husband. who has been a stu.
dent of immigration problems for a
quarter of p century, told his audience
that with the passage in 1924 of the
permanent quota law by the Congress
of the United States, a great deal had
been done to Smooth the way of the
immigrant" desiring to come to this
country. Quotas permissible of entry
from any country are now counted
abroad at the United States consulate
nearest the home of the prospective
immigrants. and in these consulates
are located technical advisers to the
United States consuls, officers of the
United States Public Health Service
and inspectors Of the immigration
service of this country" Mr.. Hus-
