VATICAN CITY, January 3.-The
new papal train of Plus XXI will be q
thing of magnifcence and color not
yet chronicled in the history of rail-
roads. Soon after the Vatican City
railroad, smallest in the world, goes into
operation this year the papal train
finest in the world, will be ready fol
operation, too.
1T is not likely that the train will
have a very extended use unless the
Pope should decide to make the often
projected trip outside the Vatican City
to Northern Italy, perhaps this Summer
when the heat of Rome is wearing
upon him.
Old Train. Now in Museum.
It win not only mark a new para
graph in the story Of special train con-
struction, but will add another footnote
to the story of the papacy, for this will
be the first time since 1870 that a Pope
shall have ridden in train. The papal
train in which Plus TX travelled until
the time when. Victor Emanuel II took
away the temporary power of the Pope
and the pontiH became a prisoner in
the Vatican, Is now in Rome museum.
Despite its elaborate decorations, it is
a far cry from the sumptlrous new train.
Like Plus ks train, that of Plus XIS
will consist of three coaches, one for
the papal throne, another containing a
little chapel, and the third a private
coach, wherein the pontif may dine
and sleep. There will be several other
coaches for members of the Pope's
household, for Swiss guards, papal

I'm my opinion" he said last night,
"the new National Institute OF Health
is the greatest forward step in public
health and protection Of the people
that has been taken in this country.
1t gives this Federal Department Of
Health an opportunity to aid in edu-
eating the people and In research work

SIT can speed up the health program
in such a way that more and more
people can get the benefit of modern

Those for whom the drawing is
difficult are slow, their lines very heavy,

very heavy, and their .digressions from
the correct path numerous and wide.
They want to stop trying. They find
themselves unable to move the hand, or
at best able to move 1t through slight
and aimless excursions. They laugh,
sigh, squeeze their pencils tightly, and
think out alibis. Those for whom the
drawing is easy work quickly, uniform

found when the test was tried in the

The North America of $4,000 years

by DR.. Arthur Bevans of the University
Of Virginia, who has found remnants
OF this condition still existing in the
Northwest.
About half the continent" he said,
twas a bleak desert of drifting SHOWS
and creeping glaciers. Many snow
fields and dwarfed remnants of former
large glaciers still linger in the deep
recesseS OF high mountain ranges.
Some are found among the Alpine
peaks and high plateaus in Montana"
He described field surveys in the
Beartooth Range, whose highest eleva-
ton is 1880 feet, and which slopes
into Yellowstone Park. At the highest
points he found surviving nuclei Of
the great glacier that once covered the
entire southwest slope and grew to
such size that tongues spilled across
saddles in the main divide and crept
octopuslike down TO the Great Plains,
while other glacial tentacles moved into
Yellowstone National Park. At least
three times were the mountains oc-
cupied and evacuated by the glaciers"

In one Of the final papers DR.. Otto
Strive of Yerkes Observatory expressed
the opinion that many Of the bodies
known as type B" stars would, If suf-
ficiently keen observations were possible,
reveal the presence of a. ring around
them similar to the ring around the

Failure to observe such rings about
distant bodies he attributed to the lack
Of telescopes Of sufficient strength for
that purpose.

pared for this meeting an estimate Of
10000 parsecs, or about 20 quintil-
