FOOTPRINTS of Ancient
Beasts Tell Tale of Woe

with bird-like claws and a lizard
TAIL" Gilmore remarked.
The third type of track resembles
that of a huge rat. Evenly paced
with these impressions are the
tracks of a still larger creature,
which was equipped with large,
crooked claws.
Strong Pursue Weak
There is a story in those two
sets of tracks" the scientist said.
TT is easy to see that the smaller
creature was being pursued by the
one making the larger footprints.
I'VE can tell by the impressions
that both we're running across the
soft sand. Possibly repetition OF
the age-old tragedy. the pursuit OF
the weak by the strong"
The animals making the tracks
we're between seven and eight feet
long, Gilmore estimates, and lived
in the days before the giant dino
Saurs.

Biologists Study Tracks of
Reptiles of 3OO,OO0,00
Years Ago.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 14-"Foot-
prints on the sands of time" are
being uncrated at the Smithsonian
Institution.
But they are footprints so old
that the actual date of their i'm
preston is nearly beyond the i'm
agination. Biologists estimate they
were mode 300,000,000 years ago by
strange, unknown reptiles and am
phibians.
Charles w. Gilmore, curator Of
vertebrate paleontology at the in
stitution, unearthed them in the
Grand Canyon of Colorado.
The footprints were discovered on
sandstone layer 1900 feet below
the surface. They reveal four diff
ferent and wholly unrelated types.
at will be very difficult to tell
Just what types of creatures made
the impressions" Gilmore said, "as
we have nothing like them on
record"
Paws and Thumb
The footprints are extremely
clear. One, about three inches
across, closely resembles a paw, but
Gilmore believes it to be the tracks
of some amphibian creature. There
are four distinct toes and larger
impression such as might be made
by thumb.
Another of the tracks reveals
impressions of claws and the marks
of a dragging tail. The claws spread
out about one inch and half but
the tail impression gives indication
of weight.
Possibly some prehistoric reptile

Two Fl. Wayne Y. w. C. A.

FIT. WAYNE, Ind, July 14.-Miss
Ida Jones, for nine years general
secretary of the FIT. Wayne Y. w.
G. A., and Miss Pattie Ellis. indus
trial secretary, have been virtually
forced to resign their positions for
being members of the Fellowship
of Reconciliation, an international
peace organization.
According to Paul Jones and John
Nevin Sayre, secretaries of the Eel
lowship. who went to FIT. Wayne to
investigate, the designations were
forced by combination of mill
tarism, business interests and yellow
journalism"
The trouble began after talk
on world peace given last March in
the Y. w. c. A. by woman speak
er. Following a remonstrance with
Miss Jones for allowing the talk, by
imam with local military interests"
the Fl. Wayne afternoon paper be-
gan publishing news and editorial
attacks upon her and upon Miss
Ellis.
Charged Moscow Link
1t was charged that the organ
ization was linked with Moscow"
The board of directors of the Y. w.
C. A. made an investigation of the
charges and voted complete conf
dence in the two women, renewing
their contracts for the next year.
The attacks we're renewed, how
ever, and a few days later Miss
Jones and Miss Ellis submitted their
resignation for the second time.
This time they we're accepted.
Miss Jones, in her statement to
the board, described herself as a
Republican, graduate of university
and a Congregationalist. Miss Ellis
described herself as a Democrat,
graduate of a women's college and
Missionary Baptist.
I'VE both gladly acknowledge al
legiance to the American nation.
We believe in the inalienable right
of every American to free speech,
free assemblage, free press and free
thought. We believe in America,
first, not only in matters material,
but in things of the spirit" they
wrote the board.
After disclaiming having Travelled
in Russia or having any opinion
whatever regarding communistic
experiments, they say each has
spent her entire life in the service
of the Y. w. c. A.
Each OF us arrived on the stage
in our own religious experience
when we wished to take Jesus more
seriously than formerly, both as to
His teaching and His own way of
living" they said.
State Positions
Each of us in Different time
and different way came across a
statement of the principles of the
Fellowship of Reconciliation. Up
on analysis it proved more nearly
to express our own Interpretation of
what it meant to be a follower of
Jesus Christ than any other state
ment yet found"
They then described how they
joined the fellowship.
Miss Alice Hamilton. assistant
professor of industrial medicine in
the Harvard Medical School, wrote
the Fl. Wayne Journal Gazette
that she was member of the
fellowship, that it has no connection
with communist teachings, and that
it "endeavors to create good will be-
tween nations by application of the
principle of love rather than force. ,

WATER SHIELDS TREES
Purdue Man Advises on Methods of
Protecting Leaves.


BIZ United Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, July 14.-Turn
the hose on the leaves of various
trees and shrubs that are so shiny
and sticky at this time of year, adj
5vises G. T. Gregory of Purdue uni
versity. This sticky covering is
caused by the emulation of plant
lice.
Washing the tree will not control
the lice, but it will prevent growth
of large black fungus on the leaves.
This black growth is not disease,
but may become heavy enough to
hurt the leaves and cause defolia-
ton. Since the fungus lives on the
sticky juice exuded by the lice, the
best means OF control is to wash the
leaves and remove the material.

GENEVA, July 14.-In a hotel
dance hall converted for the mo-
ment into a meeting room for diplo-
mats. delegates to the tripartite
naval conference sat today and
heard the defense needs of Great
Britain, Japan and the United
states outlined.
A horseshoe table Of the League
of Nations council was installed in
the place where usually a jazz band
delights the guests of the Hotel Des
Bergues.
In the center of the horseshoe
was Hugh G. Gibson. American
minister to Switzerland and chair
man of the conference, at his right
we're W. c. Bridgeman. first lord Of
the British admiralty, and Lord
Cecil: at his left we're Baron Saito
and Viscount Ishii.
Fears Misrepresentation
Bridgeman said he asked for a
plenary session, because at seemed
to me the atmosphere was being
vitiated by gross Misrepresentation
Of the British case in certain
quarters"
"Some Of the trouble, I fear" he
continued. "has been caused by
parties whose desire and interest
would lead them to rejoice at the
failure of the conference.
"Every little incident has been
use to make mischief and every
atom of partial information has
been dragged from the text to create
friction and Ill will"
Gibson Optimistic
Then Gibson arose to outline the
events to date of the conference.
IT am happy to report" he said,
chat great progress has been made
to date during the nine sessions of
the technical commission. and by
private conversations among heads
of the delegations.
THE commission has laid foiinda-
tons for drafting a treaty in the
event we finally reach an agree
ment.
I'VE are in position to make
rapid progress from now on"
Japan Generous
Viscount Ishii spoke at length on
the Japanese attitude. He said his
nation was disposed TO make every
possible concession.
He proposed that the United
States and Great Britain limit
themselves to ten cruisers. each Of
10000 tons, with Japan having
seven or less.
Bridgeman was the next speaker.
1t was a happy augury," he said.
that agreement had been reached
on the question of capital ships.

Of smaller type cruisers" he said.
and also to fix their ornaments
at six-inch guns so they capnot be-
come offensive weapons.
I'VE desire also to TX the low
est maximum tonnage until we
know how many cruisers with eight
inch guns other nations propose to
build.
Stress Shipping Volume
Viscount Jellicoe. another British
delegate, followed Bridgeman.
His technical summary Of the
British stand was epitomized In the
following paragraph:
"England's principal lines Of COM
munication total 10000 on which,
in typical day, 9,500,000 tons of
British shipping operate, making

claims to an adequate number of
