Woman Objects to Hiding Original Star-Spansld Banner

Washington, April 15.- Mrs. Quinn Williams, wife of the con- gressman from the eighth Texas 'district, has begun a one-woman Campaign to pull the original Star ASpangled Banner out of it's obscur- sity and enshrine it where everyone who comes to Washington can have "a good look at it.

IT Is now tucked away ill the Smith, .sonian Institution, partially oo- 'scured by other objects which Mrs. Williams considers of much less in terest. In fact, Mrs. Williams says that every time she goes down 10 lshe Smithsonian she has hard time finding it.
 The Banner now rests in a case eight or 10 feet high and is mostly rolled up, with only small por- ton of it showing. Mrs. Williams insists that it ought to be unrolle1 to it's full length of some 25 feet and displayed as conspicuously as possible in a large case. She IS buzzing influential congressmen about an adequate appropriation for the purpose.

B|G FOSSIL QUARRY FOUND BY HARVARD
Excavations in Wyoming Yield : 0igocene Animal Remains

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. IS (UP)- Discovery by a Harvard zoology ex- petition near Torrington, Wyo,, of one of the biggest oligocene fossil deposits in the country, has been announced by Harvard university.
 The deposit was discovered and developed during the past summer by an expedition from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, headed by Erich M. Schlaikjer.
 The deposit presents an outcrop of bones extending over half a mile, the layer of bones varying in thick ness from ten inches to three feet. The bones are mainly of the three toed horse, mesophippus, and the rhinocerous, caenopus, although nearly every member of the oligo- cene group is represented.
 An important feature of the de- posit, it was stated, is the fact that an abundance of fossil bird mate rial is present. Previously. only a very few fragments of bird bones have been found in the oligocene form ation in this county.
 Research workers at Harvard are already at work on specimens brought back from Wyoming, and on a huge 4,000 pound slab of the matrix shipped back to the univer- sity.
 Describing his discovery, Schlaik- jer said:
 There is no other single deposit known where practically the whole olgocene fauna is represented. For millions of years nature has guard ed thousands of skeletons in this single spot. How and why these animals were gathered together in such a burial ground as this. are problems which I shall attempt to solve"
 The deposit has been called the "Torrington Fossil Quarry
