scientists Find Bones
of Prehistoric Beasts

Important discoveries of the skele-
tons of prehistoric animals have been
made in Ecuador by the scientists Of
the American Museum Of Natural
History.
Excavation was carried on in the
deep ravines Of Chalan, in the prov
ince of Chimborazo, and in Alangosi,
in the valley of Chillos, where the
scientists have been working since
the middle of December. Skeletons
found at Chalan were Of the glacial
period and those at Alongosi Of the
post-glacial period.
The bones of the glacial period are
said by the scientists to be from
twenty-five thousand to thirty thou
sand years old. Skeletons complete
or in part were found there of q
mastodon, q camel, horse, various
species of deer and rodents.

and camels, which to many laymen
may seem an anomaly" says re

chief Of the children's bureau, stated,
"There are no more tragic deaths than
Of mothers in childbirth, and feel
sure that, If 1t were understood by
the people Of the United States that
TO very large extent these deaths are
preventable, they would be prevented"
Typhoid fever, smallpox and diph-
liberia have yielded to scientific con-
troll in the last quarter century, and
tuberculosis has been reduced to han
its toll, as almost everyone knows.
But the death rate from causes con-
nected with maternity has not been
lowered at all during the period for
which records are available.
Italy, Denmark and five other ma
tions have maternal death rates less
than half that Of the United States,
which, as has been seen, Is twenty-sec-
.ond on the roster of the nations Of
the world. In many Of these countries
the results have been commonly
achieved by legislation requiring obe-
dience, but in the United States i'm.
provement cannot be expected by such
drastic action unless there is popular
opinion back Of it.
"We have refused to address our
selves effectively to this problem for
att least twenty-five years." says DR..
Ralph w. Lobenstine, noted obste-
trician of New York city. IF we are
to- improve conditions we must face
them, not rationalize. The humiliat-
ing conclusion is that this national dis
grace can be removed when, as peo-
pie. we set out to remove It."
"The idea Of going to physician at
once" states DIR. Frank w. Lynch, a
leading obstetrician Of San Francisco,
may seem ridiculous to the ordinary
woman. She would not think so If she
realized the value Of taking things in

In the light Of these statistics and
the custom of wearing white carna-
tons in honor Of mothers who have
died, some one has asked this very APP
propriate question, Does it not seem
that 10000 white carnations. one for
each mother who needlessly died in
the last year as result of mother
hood, represent too great toll in pain
and sorrow to be paid for by senti-
ment alone?"
However, an answer to that question
may be found in a movement which is
already under way. For this year the
observance Of Mothers day marks the
beginning of nationwide educational
campaign to reduce the mortality rate
among American mothers SO that TO-
600 shall not die in vain each year.
This campaign has been started by
