Petrifed Deer Tracks
Found in Yellowstone

Yellowstone Park, Wyo. - Dee
tracks in what was once sand In tn
geyser region Of Yellowstone Nationa
park, but long since converted int
rock by the deposition of dissolved
silica, were among the striking curios
tiles discovered here this season
Ranger Philip Martindale, who frs
noticed the petrified tracks, tells o
his discovery:
"The tracks were very plain i'm
pressions about one-half inch deep In
rock which was no doubt formed man
hundreds of years ago by the flow o
water depositing silica on the rive
bank from what is now an extinct gey
ser or otsspring high up on the bank
or it may have been that there wer
closer springs, for the ground is yer
hot within few feet Of the exposed
tracks.
"1t seems evident that the process
of hardening and cooling took place
quickly in the mixing Of the river sand
and gravel wash and the deposits
silica, forming conglomerate rock
which looks very much like rough
concrete"

Salivary Glands Hold
Mystery for Physiologist

Battle Creek, Mich.-It is, Of course,
well known that the sight or smell,
or even the thought of food can pro-
woke a profuse salvation in a hum
CRY individual But the sense of taste
act differently, according to the work
of DR.. w. N. Boldyreff, psychologist
here.
Agreeable foods" Doctor Boldly
ref explained, diminish the activity
of the salivary glands, while dis
agreeable substance, such as acids or
alkalis, increase 1t. In the latter case
the flow of saliva may triple itself,
and in the former case t may be re-
duced by one-third."
No explanation is given of this I'M
expected finding. In the case Of "dis-
agreeable" substances, It Is probable
that nature is attempting to dilute
and wash away the offender. But why
the salivary glands should become
shy and bashful in the presence OF
beefsteak is as yet an unexplained
mystery. The experiment is, however,
valuable demonstration of the
totally different effects obtained when
an organ Is stimulated through diff
ferent routes.

Gasoline Tax.

An increase Of 1-2 cents in the present
gasoline tax, which is now cents. will be
sought by the State administration at the
present session Of the Legislature, il is
learned.
This will bring the total gasoline tax to
l-2 cents per gallon. Only Virginia,
Kentucky and South Carolina, of the forty
four States in the Union that have a
gasoline tax, equals or exceed this amount.
Kentucky and South Carolina have a
Scent gasoline tax rate and Virginia a
41-2-cent rate.
Revenue derived from the 2-cent gas
tax for 1925 amounts to $2,089. 04L84.
For the year Of 1925 the same tax amount
ed to Sl.909.17314.
John N. Mackall. chairman of the State
Roads Commission, declared that approx
mately 100000 of the new revenue, If
the bill is passed, will be used for the
elimination Of grade crossings in the State
and the balance, expected to amount to
$L500,000. will be used for lateral roads.
AT the present time counties and State
pay equal amounts for lateral roads.
Many counties in the State, said Mr.
Mackall. are contemplating through their
representatives in the legislature to have
individual gasoline taxes to pay for the
building of roads. II the Administration
bill is passed, it would preclude the posi-
bility OF any countys getting such legis-
lation through the Assembly.
Some opposition has developed to the
plan which the administration is going
to attempt to put through, it is said.
Those opposing further gasoline taxes
declared that the motorists are now taxed
sufficiently. They point out they are now
required to pay Government tax when
a machine is bought and to pay license
tax and personal property tax in addition
to a gasoline tax
Mr.. Mackall contends that the people Of
Maryland are getting more road mileage
for their GAS tax than any other State in the
Union and he feels that no one would
decline to pay slight tax II he knew he
could ride over the State and not be forced
to cross q railroad grade.
Gov. Albert C. Richie is said to be study
ing the plan.
Those favoring it declare that the tax Is
just because it places the burden on the
persons who use the highways, and who
will be benefited by the elimination OF
grade crossings.
