FIND MISSING
ELEPHANT LINK
Fossil Remains of Ancient
Animal in Kansas.

BIZ Science Service
LAWRENCE, Kan, Aug. 12.-Fos-
sill remains Of a prehistoric animal
resembling a nlastodon, yet some
what like a modern elephant, are
now being obtained near Arkansas
City, Kan, by H. T. Martin, curator
of paleontology, at the University
of Kansas. The specimen Is to be
mounted and added to the univer-
sity's museum of fossils.
The specimen is declared to be
of especial scientific interest by L.
B. Roberts of Kansas City, who
accompanied the Roy Chapman
Andrews expedition to the Cobb de-
sert, and who has examined the
first bones recovered by the Ar
kansas City find.
He is of the opinion that 1t may
prove to be a long sought missing
link" between the mastodon and the
elephant.
Whether or not it is a unique
specimen, it is declared to be in an
unusual state of preservation.
The skeleton was discovered by a
telephone lineman, who was exca-
waiting for a pole. When he found
he had penetrated the skull of an
animal, he notified authorities at
the university.

Tells FARMERS
TO RAISE Fish
Plan Declared Profitable,
Propagation Methods
Given.
BY LEWIS RADCLIFFE

Deputy United States Fish Commissioner
written Especially for Science servicel
WASHINGTON, Aug. e.-Many a
farmer has wondered low he could
make bit of spring or swamp land.
pond or tiny lake yield some
financial return. He strives to render
it useful for agricultural purposes
by drainage-frequently with very
little success.
Yet "the propagation of fish on
farms in artihcially constructed
ponds or in natural ponds of limited
area is perfectly feasible, and with
proper management such ponds will
afford a convenient and economical
food supply that will justify the ex-
pense of their construction or
preparation and maintenance, p"
states a recent publication of the
United States bureau of fisheries.
This report describes the essential
features to be considered in the
location of site, the construction Of
the pond and its operation and the
kinds of fish to use such as the
BASES, sunfsh, crappie and catfish,
"As with all forms of livestock,
it is essential that brood fish be
kept in a thrifty condition. Good
food, proper shelter, ventilation and
Professionalism requirements to
the farmer-have their equivalents
in the food, physical characteristics
OF the pond, composition and aera-
ton of the water, and the amount
of space allotted to a given num-
Der of fish"
To obtain a maximum production
the fish farmer will find it desir-
able to fertilize the pond each sea-
son. This will increase it's produc-
tivity from two to four-fold. The
fertilizer should be applied at in
tervals Of two or three weeks dur
ing the spring and early summer.
In rearing bass it is desirable to
introduce ninnoWS as forage fish
for the cannibalistic inclined
bass to feed upon instead of prey
ing on their less fortunate brothers
and sisters. These nninnows feed
largely on algae and small organ
ismS that are not ordinarily eaten
by bass and consequently make
available a food resource that is
largely lost if no forage fish are
present" the report states.
While it is difficult to estimate
the capacity of ponds, two-acre
pond has produced 10000 1-year-old
black bass from four to six inches
long and 10000 one and one-half-
inch yearling crappie or sunf1sh per
acre. During the second year
through cannibaliSm one may ex-
pect the bass stock to be reduced
at least so per cent. In succeed
ing years, although the adult bass
may consume most of the new years
hatch, enough should escape to
maintain the maximum productivity
of the pond.

IF You Can Laugh You re
Human, Theate1~ Men Say
Saturday and Sunday Are
the Real 'HaW-HaW'
Days of Week.
BY ELDORA FIELD

Man is the only animal that
laughs.
The hyena grins, and, on occasion,
the mule "he-haWs," but neither
can "ha-ha" and if you can, that
proves you are a human being.
Saturday and Sunday are the days
in which people laugh most, Charlie
Davis, at the Indiana Theater, say@.
On Saturdays, they laugh because
they don't have to go to work the
next day, and on Sunday they laugh
because they must have something
to do to pass away the time.
Only the last show on Sunday is
cold" to Jokes Charlie Chaplin
in person couldn't get more than
a Singer then.
Folks minds already are rolling
the bones towards next weeks
problems.
And Charlie says people have to
be physically comfortable if they
giggle up to standard.
A janitor at the refrigeration or
heat controls below stairs may be
the real cause of a flop on the stage.
A. J. Kalberer, Lyric theater man
ager, is something Of a psychologist.
He says short skirts and women's
bare legs have put more crimps in
the nations humor than Horatio
ever dreamed of.
THE old-time comedians ma
terial is about cut in two" he says.
Meat insinuations about what a
fellow might see on a rainy day are
totally lost on a public that can
see almost anything it can think
of on a dry day"
c. G. Cramer. West Market
street, who has sold "joke novelties
for fifteen years says:
Business men come in to buy
fountain pens that spring apart
trick cigars and rubber coat hangers
and laugh like boys over them"
Even the rubber mouse and the
tointed snake keep right on caus-
ing fun for some folks.
"The fat man who sits on his hat
and the fellow with his pants on
f1re-the public always laughs at,

farmers have discovered, eleven

The flaw in the pastoral scene,

the tip of the tail Of Holstein

Critics assert the artist concealed
the tip behind the head Of dog

NEW YORK, Aug. THE polit-
zeal audacity with Which President
Hoover has filed the long list Of
important posts outside Of his cab
met circle has left the fundamen-
talists OF Washington politics, and
they are in the vast majority, gasp
ing.
Hoover has not ignored the career
politician" entirely, not where the
appointment Of such men will, in
his view, assure the highest obtain
able efficiency.
But he has completely cast over
board the traditional political pol
icy of appointing men because they
are popular in the party, because
an appointment will balance an
other appointment from rival re
gion, or because they are veteran
campaign horses who need the jobs.
Coaxed Into Service
A check by William Hard, widely
known political observer. in the
current issue of the Review Of Re-
views, shows that Of some fifty ma
jor posts almost all have been filled
with men who are experts little
known to the public, men who have
made outstanding successes in prl-
vate life and have been coaxed into
sacrificing their private interests for
public service, and in all cases men
who do not need the jobs.
For example, Hard points out, the
three chief sub-cabinet posts, each
carrying a $4,000 salary, are now
being held by men who do not need
them, either 01ancially or for
prestige. Undersecretary Of the
Treasury ogden L. Mills, Under

GOOD LITTLE GERMS!

The germ fiend is of recent de-
velopment. He has generated a germ
complex and concludes that every
thing that directly touches him should
be sterilized or at least SO per cent
pure. Such person forgets that
germs are omnipresent and that there
are good and bad ones, the former
being by far the most preponderating,
said the Secretary Of the Public
Health League.
The average person can scarcely be
blamed for one-sided attitude on
this subject inasmuch as the only
germs he hears about are those which
create disease. Who has not heard of
the typhoid bacillus, the lockjaw
germ, the diphtheria and the pneu-
rnonia germ? On the other hand, who
has ever heard of the Tactic acid
bacillus, the little fellow that does
so much good for us by changing
milk into buttern1ilk; the Identifying
bacteria that convert the nitrogen OF
the vegetable kingdom to oxygen,
and the sulphur bacteria which at
tack decaying matter and oxidize il
INTO tHc Su1pHdteS SO essential III nd
ture-veritable armies of well be-
having and well doing germs.
All people should have proper re-
, spect for both types. For the former
reasonable caution; and for the lat
ter, gratitude. Caution involves
respecting the quarantine sign for
communicable diseases and observ-
ing all the rules of personal AID pub
lie hygiene. On the other hand, tc
develop fear for anything and every
thing on the theory that evil and
devastating germs will get one, is
silly and entirely foolish. Don't har.
Dor germ mania.
