Call Policemen sCoppers'

New York.-A member of the police
force is bobby" or a "copper"" ac-
cording to where you were born. But
he is seldom policeman, except in
the elegant forms Of daily speech.
1t may surprise many to learn that
the term copper is a Chicago inven-
ton.
Lloyd Lewis and Henry Justin
Smith tell of the origin of the word
in Chicago: The History of Its Rep
utatfon," just published. The "cop"
dates back to the fiffies, when Chicago
was young. But even in it's youth
Chicago was a hard-boiled village.
One of its mayors at the time was
John G. Haines, known as Copper
stock" Haines because he played the
stock market. His busy police were
nicknamed by the Chicago citizens
copper" soon after the whole
country adopted the term in speaking
of their guardians of the law.

"Collectors'' to Fight
Menace of Insect Life

The stamp collector, the cigar-band
fan, the hoarder of specimens Of hotel
china and other such collectors are
about to be pushed aside by coming
generation of collectors, who are likely
to specialize in gathering insects.
In this cas-, the childish hobby is to
have real benefit to the country.
The growing r.enace of insect life to
the larder of the future has spurred
the Department of Agriculture to
awaken early in the life of young stu
dents an acquaintance with their tiny
enemies and to teach gathering and
control methods.
To further this end bulletin is be-
ing issued for distribution in schools,
giving data on various types of insects
and describing how they should be col
lected and preserved.
The whole field of collecting. in
Guiding the exchange Of specimens. and
30 on, Is covered in the comprehen-
sive work. 1t soon may become a
common sight to see youthful types
Of the scientist out stalking beetles,
lady birds, aphids and such specimens.

TAIL OF DINOSAUR
FOUND ON DESERT
Traces of Ancient Reptile.
Discovered.


Washington. - When q dinosaur
wagged its tail, the surrounding ter.
ritory was in for some damage. A 10
foot tail belonging to one of the giant
reptiles before it was transformed In
to rock millions Of years ago, has been
uncovered by Smithsonian expedition
in the San Juan basin in New Mexico.
It was complete, with all joints in.
tact, but there was no trace of the
rest of the beast, which browsed on
plants or animals before the ice sheets
blanketed part of the world.
Parts Of skull of q horned dino
saur, never before found in fauna of
the same formation, were unearthed
and collection was made of more
than 20 turtles, all practically COM
plete. The turtles, some measuring
three feet in length, represented both
land and water types.
The desert sand, pierced by sage
brush and scanty vegetation and now
the home of Navajo Indians peace
fully tending herds of sheep, was rich
with surface indications Of the an.
cient reptiles.
The ground, according to DR.. Charles
W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate pa
leontology Of the National museum
and head of the expedition, was lit
orally covered with fragments of dino
saur bones.
The region heretofore worked only
by biologists and not before by pa
leontologists, was covered with wind
blown sand. When the giant reptiles
roamed the land millions of years ago,
the area was one Of swamp land.
The bones uncovered were petrifed
or agatized.
