Research Work
Written in Everyday Language
By
DR.. j. c. F. SlEGFRIEDT

DR.. Roy Chapman Andrews, who
delivered a lecture last Saturday at
Billings, on the Cobb Desert explora-
lions for the American Museum of
Natural History of New York, will
leave San Francisco March l for the
purpose of joining his crew of scien-
lists that are already in China, aw-
aiting warm weather and making pre-
parations for the next Asiatic expedi-
tion in the quest of evidences that
man originated in Asia. DR.. Andrews
holds great hopes that he will be sue
cessful in finding remains of print
tive man. His last Asiatic expedition
discovered thousands of spear points,
fat scrapers and stone implements,
showing that the area was inhabited
by people in great numbers. The DR..
claims that these people were of a
different type than the Mongols that
now inhabit the Cobb Desert. This
deduction was made on account of
some of the graves that were uncov-
cred, dating from about 5000 B. c.,
while the individuals that utilized the
stone implements dated from 100000
to 100000 years ago.
Dr. Andrews caravan consisted of
$50 camels, eight automobiles and 40
men, ten scientists and 80 native cam
ell wranglers.
After the Doctor had viewed the
collection of fossil jaws from the Gag
lie coal mine at Bearcreek, he said:
Just as soon as I return from Mon
golia, and time permitting, am sure
ly coming to Bearereek to go through
the Eagle coal mine with my paleon-
tologist, Walter Granger" The Doctor
stated that this Fort Union horizon
is liable to bring forth some spectac-
ular discoveries of utmost Importance
to the psychologists.

Question: What is Mueic acid?
Answer: Mucic acid is made by
treating Larch wood with nitric acid
and is used as substitute for Tar
taric acid in baking powders.

that the Rocky Mountain range is the

Health Insurance

A low chick mortality of 9.3 per
cent was reported by Pennsylvania
poultrymen who raised their chicks
In complete confinement last year.
These reports were obtained for a
total of 12,9O9 chicks brooded under
the "closed door" plan outlined by
the poultry extension department of
the Pennsylvania State college. A
low chick mortality and freedom from
intestinal parasites are two advan-
tages of the plan outlined by the spe-
cialists.

- ing President elect Hoover's
double breasted blue serge suit
have overlooked, his friends say,
the Californian's most obvious sar-
torial effect-his grey felt hat.
Mr.. Hoover has forsaken almost
entirely the dark felt hat of other
years--a style for which he showed
partially on most informal occa.
sions. During the summer months
the President elect changes to a
stiff American straw and, of
course, on formal occasions wears
his silk topper.
It Is no secret that the President
elect does not take tindly to the
high silk hat, Just as he does not
take kindly to anything stiff or
formal In business relationships.
Some early pictures show Herbert
hoover IN a black derby. On rare
occasions he has been seen In a
rough finish fur felt.
Mr.. Hoover has no bumps or pro-
tuberances on his head as has AL
Smith. AL. it will be remembered,
once told a municipal court judge
that the reason he wore his hat IN

ADVICE TO r

Dear annie Laurie.
T am a glrl in my late teens
and at college. A few months ago
I met q young man three years
my senior, also a student in the
same college. I loved him very
much and think that he loved me
in return. He has admitted that
he did not go with any girl for any
length of time and that he was
breaking all records by going with
me for a month or so.
All Of a sudden he stopped pay
ing any attention to me. He still
comes to the house when the crowd
is there. He will call me up and
ask me to get a few other girls
then he will come up with a few
boy friends. I wish to regain his
friendship as before. Please advise
me.
ANXIOUSLY WAITING.
Anxiousiy waiting: 1t sounds from
your letter as though the young
man were of a tickle disposition.
So don't worry your head over him.
And above all things don't attempt
to force a serious friendship.

very much. We had a quarrel last
week and I was the cause of it.
