Explorer Who Headed the Expedition into the
Great Cobb Desert and Returned with Eighty
Cases Of Bones of the Giant New Colossus.
straight toward the heart of the desert. Then
it turned northeastward toward the region Of
Erhlein, where the most interesting discoveries
were made And it was here that Dr. Andrews
and his assistants found the skeleton of this
newest monster, which is the largest yet dis
covered.
Some idea of the size of the colossus may be
had by comparing it with the Woolworth Build
ing, which is 1872 feet tall, and is the worlds
the earth before puny man set his stamp OF
ownership upon it, would not have been able to
get in the Woolworth Building if the latter were
in a horizontal position.
The colossus was large that its extremities
were connected with nerve telephone" lines like
those aboard great ship. Even then it was i'm
possible for the great creature to navigate
properly with = single brain, and nature found
it necessary to give it two brains, one in the head
and the other at the base Of the spine.
This latter brain, scientists believe. controlled
the after parts Of the colossus and synchronized
the movements Of the hind legs with those Of the
forelegs.
Why did the great creature. which must have
reigned supreme over the area in which it lived,
pass away? That's one of the first questions
which DR.. Andrews was asked when he announced
his find. And the answer is startling.
"The beast lived on the fat of the land Of its
birth" explained one of the scientists. ut grew
after million years it became roly-poly that
it could no longer navigate. 1t finally gave up
the ghost, having grown so enormous that it
was of no earthly use"'
The colossus. incidentally. was vegetarian
and at first lived on tender shrubs and roots

RICHMOND. Va, March 24.--Vir-
ginias delegation to the Kansas City
convention will be for Herbert Hoover
for President. The State Republican
convention which met in Roanoke last
Saturday did not instruct the delegates
which it elected to the national con-
vention, but C. Rascom Semp, bell
wether of the party in Virginia. broke
the silence which he has maintained so
long and made an unequivocal declara-
ton in favor of the candidacy OF the
Secretary of Commerce.
Mr.. Slcmps declaration was regarded
as expressing the views of the con-
vention. On the same day Henry w.
Anderson. former gubernatorial nominee
OF the Republican party, also declared
himself in favor of Hoover
The convention went on record as
favoring the nomination of Southern
man for the vice presidency, and 1t Is
likely that either Mr. Slemp or Col.
Anderson will be put forward by the
Virginia delegation.
Byrd Ends Boom"
A boom for Gov. Byrd of Virginia
for the Democratic nomination for Vice
President was started this week, but
quickly came to an end when the gov
ernor showed that he was unalterably
opposed to the idea. He not only de-
| clared that he would not be candi-
date, but stated emphatically that he
would not accept the nomination If ii
we're rendered him. The Virginia execu-

I ton instruct against the New York ex-

people are demanding that the leading
/ parties take definite stand. High
| sounding generalities and a compro-
missing attitude on the most important
issue before the American people will
| be surely rebuked in November by an
overwhelming vote, like that of 1920
and 1924 And as for Gov. Smith
| agreeing to any such compromise. that
| is unthinkable. Mr.. Smith is a man
of conviction, and with a consistent
wet record We do not believe that
ne would be willing to stultify himself
| even to be President. and If he did. the
people would repudiate him and the
party as unworthy of support in crit

All of this means that the main bat

ton will be on the question of whether
there will be an instruction against
