men and speculating on the age of
the skeleton and whether 1t is a Ne.

are able to raise money for it more
easily than for modern, useful

Gated in these subterranean finds;
Bret Harte, the western poet and story
teller of early California days, Inn
mortalized the story Of the skull of a
white man found under 900 feet of
earth In California. This would tend
to prove that the human race was
more ancient than is supposed and
that white men inhabited this coun-
try before the Indians came. Anthro-
biologists. at least some, got wildly eX-
cited, until some miners revealed the
nfaet that it was the skull of one of
their comrades who had been buried
in a mine cave-in many years before.
Now what. do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
1. Hydrogen and oxygen make up
water.
2. Oxygen when pumped into
mines. the holds of ships, ETC., puts
great energy into men who would
otherwise have to work in most en-
ervating conditions.
3. Oxygen respirators are used on
mountain climbs. high airplane flights
and in hospitals.
4. Nitrogen is captured from the
air by means of an electric spark,
also by bacteria In the soil.
5. Nitrogen is renewed in the air
by identifying bacteria and by vol
canoes.
6. Hydrogen is sometimes used in
place Of helium because 1t is cheaper
and more abundant.

Story of the l.. S. A.
BY JONATHAN A. RAwsoN. JR,

tire enemy camp was thrown into con-
fusion at sight of them. Only few
shots were exchanged and then the
trained men of the King fed in terror.
Two of the enemy were mortally
wounded, II were~taken prisoners. In
eluding Hessians. On the side of the
Americans only two soldiers we've
wounded Col. eGrifin received "a
wound in his foot from a musket ball,
and Lieut. Col. Smith was slightly
wounded in the arm. IL the expedi.
tion had not meant the routing of the
enemy. it would still have been 'ac-
counted successful in the matter of
plunder. for 46 muskets, number of
bayonets. cutlasses and other sup
plies were procured, and one trophy
Which was particularly priced was the
standard of colors OF the British Light
Horse. -.
The commanding officers say that
little affairs, like this are always an
tfcipated by the soldiers with great en-
this1asm. While such raids have
little effect on the big military tactics.
they keep the men on the alert and

September. and now September was
here and half over and Betty was still

OF course. Miss Abbott was exag.
gerating. Betty had never fiaunted
herself. But there had been about
her glad radiancy that had made
| the other nurses jealous. and the
| change in her now was pathetic. She
had lost the gay bloom that had been
hers on her return from her vacation
and there We're shadows under her
eyes. She was beginning to lose
weight again. too, and where she had
been laughing and happy, she rarely
| spoke. Her work she performed with
| the same efficiency, the same tireless,
| ness. But she had noticed of late a
strange shortness of breath when for
| any reason 1t was necessary for her to
hurry. She ignored it at first. She
had always had healthy body and
there was nothing organically wrong
with her: she was certain of that.
| But when she found herself painting

Of stairs TO her room. She began to

set her mind at rest. But. like most
people in her profession, she kept

she felt almost like her old self. usu.

OF Jimmy's gay letters full of the
things he was doing.
He wrote her from Paris that Miss
Farraday was disappointment. after
all. Beautiful and dumb We're his
exact words. Betty went for days on
the stimulus of that letter. and there
was always the hope that the next

| contain the news that he was coming
home and then her worries would be
over forever.
Because she was so tired most of the
time she did not take all the cases
that were offered to her, and then
with the realization that she must buy
new Fall clothes so that she would be
smart when. Jimmy arrived, she began
once more to take everything that
presented itself Whenever she was
at st. Martins. Amos watched her
without letting her see that he was
doing It, There were times when he
felt that he could not bear 1t, that he
would have to do something. And
then he remembered her fiery con

Mercer Raids Enemy Camp.

HARLEM HEIGHTS, n. Y, Octo-
ber 81, 1776.-A story comes to head
quarters of a daring raid by Gen.
Hugh Mercer upon the enemy camp
on Staten Island a few nights ago.
Staten Island has been in the enemy's
possession since early July, and was
for time their largest encampment.
Their force there has been reduced for
the campaigns on Long Island. New
York Island and Westchester, but
without knowing how many regiments
of Britishers and HeSians he might
stir up, Gen. Mercer, an apothecary by
trade. set out after three companies
whom he knew to be near Richmond.
One of these companies was Skinner's q
Tory militia. whose nights sleep Mer-
Ger was particularly willing to disturb.
Our men crossed the Xii Won kull
in boats from their camp at Amboy
soon after midnight. Just as the day
was breaking they made their appear
ance before the enemy. Col. Griffin
was detached with Col. Patterson :
battalion and Maj. Clarke at the head
of some rifiemen, to fall upon the east
end of the town. while the remainder
of the troops inclosed it on the other
quarters. Although word had reached
the British of the arrival of our men
before they actually appeared, the en-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ST r A N D
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS;
TO-DAY AND TOMORROW
"Seo Horses To
Ride On Screen


Key West will have an excep-
tionally fine film attraction when
Paramount's cinema version of
Francis Brett Young's widely read
novel "Sea Horses" shows at the
Strand Theatre today and to-
morrow. For those who like
vigorous melodrama, tinctured
with love interest and moving
midst scenes of tropic color and
beauty, this photoplay viii fill the
bill from soup TO nuts.
Much is expected from "Sea
Horses" for Mr.. Young's story,
which Becky Gardiner adapted
and James Hamilton scenarized, is
rich in action, drama, romance and
suspense, and lends itself adj
mirably to INSTALLATION on the
screen. Furthermore, the fact
that Allan Dwan made it is guar
antee of its worth from a di-
rectorial standpoint.
There is the added factor of a
notable cast, which numbers
amongst its personnel such popu-
lar and capable players as Jack
Holt, Florence Vidor, George Ban
croft and William Powell.
Mr.. Dwan is said to have incor-
porated in the production several
spectacular features, which set a
new high-water mark for realism
and thrill. Among these is cited
a stirring fist fight, an exciting
battle in which several hundred
natives take part, a raging sea
storm, and cyclonic tropical tor
nado. go -
The story centers about a love-
" and charming English girl, who,
with her little daughter, sets sail
on an ocean freighter which is
headed for an out-of-the-way
port on the East African coast.
There she hopes to join her hand
some, romantic husband, who de-
serted her a year after their mar
rage.
Her presence on board the ship
has an electrifying effect on the
rough crew and officers. The burly
mate and the youthful third Off
Ger eventually come to blows over
her, and even the captain finds
himself yielding to her uncon-
scious charms. What happens
when she finds her husband has
degenerated into a dirty, drunken
beach-comber, and the develop
ment Of her subsequent romance
with The sea captain forms the
largest and most gripping part Of
the production.

The court en- banc is comprised of
Chief Justice Pennewil and Associate
Judges Richards, Rodney, Rice and
Harrington. The constitutionality of
the section of the law involved was
questioned in proceedings brought be-
fore the judges several weeks ago by
David A. Walfe of Washington, DC,
who petitiOned the court to return to
him an automobile seized near Will
mingtOn some time before while being
used by Ellis Rose, also of Washing
ton, for the illegal transportation of
liquor. Wolfe declared he was the
owner of the auto. The grounds on
which Wolfe claims that he was en-
titled to the return of the automobile
were two: First, that the portion of
the statute providing for the for
feiture of a conveyance used in the
transportation of liquor, upon the
conviction of the user of said convey
ance, applies to public and private
carriers only and not to individuals;
second, that the said portion of the
statute is in violation of the Consti-
tuition of the United States and the
Constitution of the state of Delaware,
in that, when invoked, it amounts to
taking of property without due pro-
cess of law. Wolfe contended he did
not know the auto was being used in
the liquor traffic.

CoSSGcks Refuse to
Violate Old Tombs

The similarity of the burial mounds
in Siberia, north of the Cobb, with
those several thousand miles distant
on the Black sea, seems to indicate
that they were built by the MOngols-
perhaps in the age Of Genghis Khan.
perhaps in the day of Tamerlane (as
we call Timur-i-lang). Perhaps in the
time of the khanates Of central Asia
the Golden Horde, etc.-in the Six
teenth century. No one knows for
certain.
There e9e also found in the steppes
curious stone warriors and women that
face always to the east. And l think
the figure monuments Of Siberia are
very much like them. The COssacks
relate that when these stone women
are carried away, to make gate posts
for house in some Russian village,
1t takes a half-dozen oxen to drag
them to the west, although one can
draw them back again. Moi, je me

At any rate most of the Cossacks
are extremely unwilling to dig up the
burial sites, the kurgans. A hundred
years ago the British explorer, Clarke,
asked the hetman of the Don COssacks
for some men from the village to help
him the next day. The men were
ready enough until they found out
that he wanted to uncover a nearby
kurgan. They refused point blank
