turn caught.
In addition to the animal bones,
there were many pieces of wood, pine
cones, and other plant remains. These
tell fantastic story of their own. At
the present time there exists on the
shores Of Monterey Bay, 200 miles
to the north, a group of trees found
nowhere else on earth. The outstand-
ing trees are two species of pine and
two of cypress. OF these peculiar
plants. specimens of both of the pines
and one of the expresses have been
found embedded in the asphalt here
at this distant point, together with
fragments of other plants now char.
acteristic of the Monterey region.
This indicates clearly that the present
Monterey flora is the last remnant Of
plant community that once had q
far wider range. These living trees
may well be looked upon almost as liv.
ing fossils, that have survived from
an earlier age, while the animals that
once roamed beneath them and the
birds that nested in their branches
have long ago vanished.

Stained Glass Art
In France Restored

The historic stained glass windows
of France, which were so terribly
shattered by war shells. are being
slowly pieced together again. but no
attempt will be made to have modern
artists reproduce missing pieces Of
the patterned windows, according to a
communication from the Foreign Art
Exchange Association of Paris to Art
and Archaeology
The great Cathedral of Reims ha.
just been formally reopened for wor-
ship after long and extensive repairs.
and the cathedral is not expected to
be completely itself for another half
century.
The policy rigidly adopted at Reims
and elsewhere forbids any attempt at
replacing doubtful missing sections.
except with plain or natural colored
glass. the. French communication
states. If only single panel remains.
that panel is simply mounted in an
uncolored window
Every effort has been made to find
even the smallest and least important
fragments of glass left in the wrecked
churches. In each church architects
and glass painters have taken these
pieces and laboriously patched to-
gether, like jigsaw puzzle. the saints
faces, symbolic designs and panes OF
rich plain color.
When the principal part Of the re-
pair work has been completed. and If
finances permit, the French artists
hope to replace some Of the totally
blank windows with stained glass OF
the best twentieth century craftsman
ship. 1t has always been traditional
in France to allow each period to con-
tribute its own peculiar art to the
decoration of ancient and historic
buildings.
There is no reason" 1t is stated.
why windows true to the spirit of our
times should not produce happy eff
feet when placed beside the stained
glass of many hundreds of years"

treasures unharmed. Practically

education is planned not only to pro
duce such men, but to enable the in.
dividual student to lead fuller life,
with more points of contact with all
the planes Of human culture. Even
il he is not fitted for any of the pro
fessions that give community service,
he himself gets more out of life as
the re ult of his education. The dull
est of ounces will benefit somewhat
personally out Of two years at col,
lege. but the benefit to the community
may be so slight that the cost Is all
out of proportion. Is the community
justified In educating any boy purely
for his own benefit?
This question has college presidents
puzzled. The work of the American
Council on Education may go far to-
ward answering it.

Announcement of a proposed

the exploitation of oil under the
supervision of the Government.
"But since oil is public utility,
its private control would not be adj
visable and the administrative oper-
alton was not recommended by pre-
vious experience in other countries.
The naturalization of oil deposits
and its operation by means of grants
and concessions was, on the other
hand, highly recommended by prac-
tice of centuries in Mexico, where it
has been the system under which
the mines have been operated since
the Spanish conquest"
Leal defended the laws as being
neither confiscatory or retroactive.

MONARCHY OR
REPUBLIC, BIG
GERMAN QUERY
Observer Finds Both Sides
of Question Have Their
Adherents.
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

BERLIN, Aug. when you have
Travelled a lot in Europe, not as a
mere sightseerf1 bat as trained OBJ
server seeking to get at the truth
about these people over here, you
learn to remain humble.
You hesitate to generallze, tc draw
rapid conclusions, to state as GER
tainties what are after all only sur
misses or guesses.
For instance, I suppose there is
no greater problem connected with
Germany than this: Has she be-
come really permanently a republic,
or is that only temporary and Will
monarchy come back?
Answers All Unexpected
EVERY time I go to Germany on
business I talk with all sorts and
conditions of German people IN
the endeavor to answer the riddle.
1 can't answer it. I can't even be-
gin to answer it.
I sit in a dining car Opposite NE
is a prosperous looking German,
who might be either a big business
man or Prussian farmer on large
scale-one of the Junker class.
lAppen up the inevitable problem and
wexpect to hear him say the mon
archy is sure to come back.
He assures me that Germany is
done with the monarchy forever, at
the same time Fastening to say he
has no sympathy with either the
Socialists or the Communists.
Another Surprise
My neighbor in the movies is
chap who looks as if he might be
a highly skilled and paid work
man. l say to myself he is either
a member of the Social Democratic
party or left wing of the Catho-
lie Center.
To my surprise, he assures me
that the republic will not last and
that the people are sure to turn
back to a monarch when the time
is ripe.
On the movie screen a German
film of the first years OF the war
is shown. The crowd sits silent and
only breaks into vigorous applause
when old Hindenburg is shown as
the victor of the Mazuran Lakes
against the Russians.
Applause Divided
Now some Of that applause Is for
the old monarchist general. But
an equal share of that applause is
for that same old monarchist who,
once elected president OF the repuo-
lie, respected his cath and dis
appointed the nationalist who ex-
pected him to trample upon all
signs of democracy.
So. when you leave Germany the
best YOU can say is this:
Public opinion is in a fluid state.
at has been firmly fixed neither IN
republican nor in a monarchlst
mould as yet. The events of the
next five or ten years may harden
it in one direction or the other.
Several Factors Enter
What the former allies and the
world in general do to Germany;
what success German industry will
have in giving employment to its
industrious millions and once more
restoring something like measure
of general prosperity and well
being; Jnese are the factors that
will largely decide whether Ger
many will go back to a monarchy
