MAY Be
H0NORED BY
PEERAGE
BIZ J. G. OEsTRETCHER

LONDON, Jan. U.N.S.l.-Sir
James NJ. Barrie may be made a
peer of England, it was learned to-
day.
His elevation TO the nobility, if It
actually takes place, will not be
until next summer. The presenta-
ton of the usual New Year honors
were delayed by the illness Of King
George. Naval, military and air
force honors will be announced
early In January, but the others
win have TO wait several months
at least
It ID many years since a New
Year peerage has been granted.
The two outstanding literary fig
ures OF recent years In England
have such decided political views
that their ennoblement would be
a rather awkward proceeding.
Few Seekers
shaw processes to be an ardent
Socialist. Wells made clear his
opinion Of honorary peerages In his
sakiricaI work ''The World Of VIII
liam Clissold.n
With Sir James, however, it is
different. He was created barO-
net In 1918. OF late he has been
taking prominent part In public
life, although his antipathy against
newspaper interviews remains as
strong as ever.
It is suggestd that Barrie. should
he be elevated, might take the
name Of Thrums, the quaint Scot
tisi1 town which was the locale of
one OF his most famous works,
Sentimental Tommie."
Lord Barrie of Thrums he would
then be il he chose thus to inn
nlortaIize the village which helped
to make him famous.
Sir James is president of the
Society of Authors. In many ways
he is more active in literary and
public life than any Of his great
contemporaries such as Wells,
Shaw and Kipling, He Is regarded
by many as the logical recipient
Of q literary peerage, and 1t Is
confidently predicted that, il ne is
passed by this year. 1t will not be
long before he is thus honored.

FIND DINASAUR
SKULL IN CREEK
NORTH OF OPHEIM
Prehistoric Monster Said to
Have Roamed the Plains
Million Years Ago

Ophiem-The main part of a skull
of dinosaur of the Triceratops fam
lily has been unearthed in the rough
lands bordering Rock Creek which is
approximately II miles northwest Of
Opheim and one mile into Canada. c..
M. Sternberg of the Canadian Geo.
logical Survey found the remains of
the prehistoric monster after spend
ing three weeks in that vicinity Mr..
Sernberg however, had discovered
similar bones in that regin several
years ago and had returned to thu
scene with hopes Of making other
valuable discoveries. This particu-
lar Dinosaur has three horns and is
a rare secimen as, according to Mr..
Sternberg only one other of these,
monsters which are the last of the
period of the reptile age had been
found in Canada although they have
been unearthed in other parts of the
world. Many visitors took the oppor-
tunity Of viewing the sight. The
skull had evidently been washed in
by waer, lodging at the spot where
discovered as no other bones are
near. The skull weighed about 800
pounds and measured six feet from
top to tip. 1t was a part of herbi-
vorous reptile that must have been at
least 20 feet long and twice the
weight of an elephant. These ami
mails lived in swampy countries with
semi-tropical climates. Mr.. Stern
berg states that a conservative esti-
mate would place the time that these
reptiles lived at 100000 years ago.
The skull has been coated with plas-
ter Of paris for protection and will
be Grated and sent to the Canadian
museum at Ottawa.
