AMERICA COVERED
 BY SHALLOW SEAS
Coal Age Was Era of SWamps
 and Weird Reptiles

Fort Worth, Tex, July 15 P}- What North America looked like several hundred millions years ago is described in a report to the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
 That was when the coal beds were forming.
 Evidences of the life of Penn sylvanian time in North America says Dr. Raymond C. Moore, state geologist Of Kansas, in this report, are plentiful and varied. There are not only myriads of fossils in the marine deposits, but in many of the formations laid down on land there is a profusion Of organic re- mains.
 "The lands seem to have been well Watered, with wide loWlands and swampy areas that bore rank ly luxurious vegetation. The plant record far surpasses that of any earlier geological period, and 1t compares in completeness with that of later times.
 "Amphibians and reptiles, vary ing in size and degree of advance ment, padded in ponds and rivers and waddled on the land. Large in sects crawled about or droned through the air. In fresh waters there were fishes. mollusks and nu- merous ostracodes.
 The shallow seas teemed with life. which like that today. was probably more abundant in individ- uals and species than the life of the land. Among the plants, there were lime-sccreting algae and doubtless other sorts of seaweeds. Animal life consisted mainly of bottom-living invertebrates. but there were planktonic and neck tonic forms, the latter including fishes, some of which must have at taincd large size.
 Large, thin-wallCd cells and the general absence of growth rings in woody plants of the Pennsylvanian in North America indicate equable climatic conditions. and that rank ness and other features of Ncgeta- ton mean ample moisture.
 The uniformiay and very great areal extent of many of the Penn Sylvanian coal beds and immediate ly associated strata can mean only that a featurcless swampy plain ex- tended throughout the area of coal deposition.'

TURKEY BANISHES |. OLD WAR GOD MARS
Cuts Million and Hali From
 Military Budget Of Year

Angora, Turkey, July 15 P-An. other of the old gods is tumblng in the new Turkey, and this time It
 is the god of war. A statement m parliament by the Turkish minister of finance that nearly S1.5OO,O0O Will
 be cut from military and naval ap- propriations for the coming year. is one indication among many that the kemalists are baCkslidins from the ancient Ottoman worship Of battle.
 Gone is the day when q Turkish sultan could launch a war to cap- ture the island of Cyprus because he thirsted for it's wine. and gone, from a Turkey battered by cen turies of almost inCessant fighting, is the thirst for fartlung empire. There still exists enough of the old Moslem faith that he who dies fighting for his country will go straight to paradise, to make the Turks rank among the finest SOL dicrs in the world, but the present regime is not stimulating and eapl- talizing that faith as did the war loving Sultan-Caliphs.
 The present regime anxious TO consolidate it's internal reforms and the independenre of that portion of Turkey which it rescued from the wreck of the Ottoman empire, IS out on a quest for peace, and quest for friends.
 With the lean. suaNe foreign m.n- iSter. Tevfk Ruchdi Bey, just nom" from his second European goodwill
 tour. the new Turkey is joytuIiE trumpeting down the old adage that
 nobody loves a Turk"
 Tevfk Ruchdi Bey has to hs
 credit the signing of more treaties
 of amity and non-aggresslon than any other living statesman, nogoii- ations during the current year haN- ing brought the total number Of such treaties mp to twenty-five.
 Turn to the east, and turn to the west" has been the rrfraIn running through the young repub- lies foreign policy. Her treaty. made friends include oriental na- tions such as Afghanistan and Fer
 sia on the one hand, and on the other western powers such as ltalV, Germany and far-off Brazil, Turk eys desire to maintain amicable re- lations also with countries which did not sign the Treaty Of Lausanne, $ indicated by her recent extension for year of the commercial modus vivendi with the United States. which grants mutual most-faVorct | nation treatment.
 In general high success has
 crowned the new Turkeys efforts
 to break down the bars of distrust
 through which the western world
 pecred suspiciously at the Turkey of the past. At present the repub- lies diplomatic horizon is certainly more nearly cloudlcss than dlplo- matic weather bureaus are usually able to report.
 Only one big problem awaits So- lution in the realm Of foreign rela- tions, and the amicahle trend or negotiations promises early satts- factory settlement. This concerns
 France. the points at stake being the determination of the Turco-
 Syrian frontier. and the purchase
 by Turkey from France of the Mcr- sine railroad.

Cincinnati, O., July Is LP - A renewal of the historic river packet races of forgotten day takes place in the Ohio river tomorrow in 20 mile dash upstream from Cincinnati to New Richmond, O., by the stern wheelers Tom Greene and Betsy Ann.
