FLOOD LOOSENS
JAW OF MAMMAL
OF JAWBONE OF PRE-
GLACIAL PERIOD ANIMAL
is FOUND
Bone Is Similar to That of Human But
is Seven Times as Large as Same
Bone in Average Man; Two Moar
Teeth Still Intact in Bone.

While 1t Is now practically COM
mon knowledge that mammoth ami
mails Of unbelievable proportions ono
rOamed the continent and that a
tropical vegetation once fourished
in a country where there now reign
subzero temperatures q few days Of
the year still the idea smacks more
or less Of q fairy tale until tangible
evidence Is found.
Since the first settlement of the east
ern part of Montana, there have been
found small fossil formations and parts
prehistoric animal and plant life, but
the more recent and perhaps one Of the
most enlightening discoveries In SOUTH
eastern Montana lei Baker was that
made when nearly half Of the jawbone
Of what must have been q gigantic
creature OF the p~reglacial era was un-
covered in Box Elder creek by George
Clark, a rancher living As miles south
Of Baker In the Coal creek country.
The discovery was made shortly after
Washed Out Of Bluff
the high water this spring and is
thought to have been washed out OF
a bluff. 1t Is In q perfect state OF
preservation and has been on exhibit
ton at the First National bank in
Baker.
Although formation of the jawbone
is similar to that OF a human, it is
approximately eve times as large as
that OF an average man. Two molaT
teeth are still intact in the bone.
The chewing surface of the back
tooth measures seven inches by three
and q half inches, while that Of the
foremost molar, slightly smaller, mea-
Sures five inches by three and a half
The length Of the bone over all is
approximately 80 inches.
II this is a part of some animal
the complete skeleton Of which has no,
yet been unearthed, or If 1t is a par,
of a species, the remains of which are
on exhibition IN some of the larger
museums, is not as yet determined
In time additional discoveries may bt
made that will lead to determination
Of the exact form to which it belongs
Find Another Tooth
Since the jawbone was discovered a.
Box Elder creek another tooth Of The
same size and apparently identica
with one Of the molars in the jaw wa
found about two miles down the creeH
and 1t is possible that it came from
the same animal.
At the bank may also be seen a par
Of the vertebra from some mammoth
creatures, perhaps from the species
from which the jawbone has come
Nearly a half Of the vertebra is gon'
but the part that remains measure
approximately five inches In each di
mension. 1t was found 81 years ago Il
the Chalk butte country by Taylo
Smith.
1t Is certain that great geologi
changes came shout as a result Of tn
ice age. The theory is that in grea
sheets OF ice that swept the continen
from the north. changing the face o
the earth, these animals, in spite o
their immense size, were wiped com
pletely out and their bodies covere'
over with tho deposits Of rock an
soil which were dropped by glaciers.

BUTTE WOMAN HAS
Tanned WILD BIRD
BUTTE CANARY CAUGHT WHEN
TOO YOUNG EVEN TO
FEED
Placed in Cage on Lawn 50 Wild
Mother Bird Could Feed It; Reared
in Cage Since August; Now Trying
To Sing.

Believe It or not, canarics grow
wild In Butte.
A housewife on South Dakota
street, Butte, has q handsome Butte
grown wild canary which was Matched
last August and is already trying to
sing.
The housewife wa standing in her
ward one morning when q violent wind
shook the trees-and down at her very
feet came f1uttering q fluffy little gold
en- ball. q. baby canary. She picked 1t
up and carried 1t into her home and
placed it in q cage. It was so small
that she could not get 1t to take food
hard boiled egg and other dencacies-
which she prepared for It,.
Not wishing to see 1t die, she car
ried it into the yard and set the cage
on the grass with the door open. AT
the second "cheep" Of the tiny young
ster, the mother bird came huttering
down and entered the cage but IN a
moment she took fright and flung her
self violently against the cage bars.
II there had been any intent to trap
the mother bird 1t was abandoned lest
she should dash out her own brains
and kill her baby in her struggle to
escape.
The mother bird, regaining her free
dom, f1uttered about the cage bars, at
tracing the nesting to her, and fed
it. Each day thereafter the tiny bird
was placed on the lawn and either the
father or the mother bird fed 1t until
1t was large enough to take food from
the hands of its human captor.
No attempt has been made to cap
ture the parent birds. They that have
enjoyed the glorious freedom Of the
peaks Of the Rockies could never en-
dure the restraint Of q cage. They
would die of heart-break.
The Butte-grown wild canary may bt
seen at the home Of Mrs. Anna Dun
levy, 1909 South Dakota street. Mrs
Dunlevy it wa who found the bird or
her lawn and reared 1t. It is strong
and healthy and, having been brought
up in a cage, is quite content with it,

to an unusually high level.
The photography of scenes presuma-
bly, laid in the Java seas was impec-

The original story has been followed
with commemorate fidelity to plot and
atmosphere. Herbert Brenon's direct
ing adds one more triumph to what Is
already a long list. The supporting
roles are thoroughly sin the picture"
at all times competent and unobtrusive.
THE Rescue" must rank unqueStion-
ably as one of the very best OF the
weeks movie attractions: more than
that, it is one of the best of many
weeks past. The film is silent one,
having only synchroniZed musical &C

AS to the stage show. the featured
numbers include Ted Mark, a shrill

METROPOLITAN" River"
Weary River" is humming its way
into the ears of Washington audiences
for another week, and audiences are
wondering about the remarkably fine
baritone voice which, If not the stars,
is splendid bit of trick synchroniza-
ton.
This is the story of two young people,
both gangsters. who go straight ior love
and a song. It is a good story OF an, eX-
convict, excellently cast and well syn
chronized. Richard Barthelmess, in ad-
dition to the mystery" voice, has just
the type of personality for his part. and
while he is decidedly more fascinating
as the gangster with night club per-
Sonality than as the eX-convict with
song sermon, his metamorphosis gives
him chance to act.
But this Is Betty CompSon's show, and
the blonde star does the best work not
only of her amazing comeback, but OF
her whole career. She gives her role as
the ganster's girl a colorful and vivid
Interpretation and rises from merely a
good and somewhat forgotten actress to
the most serious rival of the newcomers.
In a part that would be preachy If
the preaching were not such good COM
mon sense, William Holden as the kind
ly warden is sincere and capable. The
production itself is lavish one, with
night clubs, theaters, radio stations and
modernistic apartments. all with no ap-
parent regard for the overhead. This
variety sustains the interest of the story
throughout as so few reformation stories
do and gives the theme song varied set

Airplane Pilots Make
Study of Bird Flights

New light on the height and speed
at which birds fly, and upon bird mi
grafton, is being thrown by airplane
pilots. Joint plans are being devel-
oped by bird societies and aeronauti-
cal associations to compile system
atically such aerial observations of
feathered folk.
1t seems that birds are rarely sight
ed by airmen above height of about
5000 feet Not long ago. however, one
pilot reported seeing u couple of large
birds, which he took to be eagles, at
an altitude of more than 1900 feet
1t is believed that some birds, when
on migrating flights, attain nearly 90
600 feet. Ornithologists are asking
airmen to make special observations
as to the speed at which birds fly In
one case, already on record, a pilot
cruising at about 100 miles an hour,
was approached by number of
swifts. These graceful birds not only
overlook the airplane, but outstripped
it with ease.
During the war pilots on patrol
above the dunes of western Belgium
often amused themselves by putting
their airplanes against teal and NAL
lard. Both these birds seemed ca
pable of speed of more than 100
miles an hour.

Using Fish Oil
in Poison Spray
Needed as Spreader and
Sucker in Treatment for
Gypsy Moth.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.b
Among the problems incident to
yypsy-moth control work are those Of
applying poison sprays effectively.
Lead arsenate is the spray most used.
but with it is needed some other sub
stance as a spreader and sticker. pre-
ferably some material that will make
the spray adhere TO the leaves
throughout the season in spite of rain
or other weather conditions. Many
different substances have been tried
for the purpose-soap. glue. caseiD,
molasses, gelatin, glucose. flour, and
various oils.
Best Results From Oils.
Experiments carried on by the bu-
reau of entomology of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have shown that. of these substances,
the oils. especially linseed. fish and
corn oil. gave by far the best results.
Linseed oil is the most satisfactory of
all. but il is also expensive; and when
after numerous experiments on trees
at various stages of growth, II was
found that fish oil gave almost as
good results at a much lower cost, IL
was felt that fish oil could be recon-
mended as an economy in large-scale
control operations
Fish oil mixes. practically as well
as linseed oil with lead arsenate, and
is nearly as adhesive. Foliage
SPRAYED with a fish-Oil mixture as
early as the first week in June was
found in September still well covered
with the spray. although some rain
had fallen. The use of either oil, but
especially fish oil. makes t possible
TO reduce with safety the proportion
of lead arsenate used. and to start
spraying operations sooner, even
though the foliage is small and likely
TO grow, since the quantity of poison
that adheres remains effective. A few
experiments have also indicated that
fish oil is a good adhesive to use with
bordeaux mixture or combined lead
arsenate and bordeaux mixture.
Details of Tests.
Details of the experiments conduct
ed al different times with various adj
hesives are given in Techn' cal Bulletin
Tilt, published by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The work
was done by Clifford E. Hood, asso-
ciate entomologist, who is the author
