DR.. GILMORE FINDS
TONS OF FOSSILS
Unearths, in Rockies, Bones
of Strange Animals of
100000 Years Ago.

DR.. Charles w. Gilmore, Smithsonian
Institution paleontologist, has just re-
turned from one of the most fruitful
fossil hunts ever staged by the local
institution.
In the Rocky Mountain foothills dur
ing the Summer he recovered bones OF
scores OF strange animals that dwelt
there approximately 100000 years
ago-thus filling big gap in National
Museum fossil collections.
Some of these creatures must have
roamed over this area in enormous
herds, judging from the abundance OF
fossils Notable among them were the
three-toed horses. Mr.. Gilmore secured
parts of 35 skeletons and at least two
fully articulated specimens. He also
found 10 skulls and several articulated
specimens of ancient camels. creatures
which stood from two to three feet high
and which apparently were extremely
abundant
Finds Hugs Pigs Skulls.
OF special interest were five skulls OF
Archaeotnerium. an enormous creature
Of the pig family. 1t was considerably
larger than any living pig, although
even more gigantic creatures of the
same race we're found in the succeeding
geological period. The skull of this
creature was approximately foot and
half long and it had enormous teeth.
1t appears to have been one Of the
dominant animals of the age.
Mr.. Gilmore also obtained IL skulls
and one partial skeleton of the cele-
brated saber-toothed cat of the OIL
gocene age The saber teeth of these
specimens are about inches long and
the skeleton shows creature about
the size of huge lion. 1t was un-
the ancient world and, judging from
the great abundance of weaker crea-
lures, must have enjoyed an abundance
of victims. The expedition also Sc
cured 20 specimens of ancient dogs,
creatures about the size of the present.
day red fox.
Perhaps the most interesting speci-
mems secured, from a scientific stand
point, were the skull and lower jaw of
big bird of the hawk family. II
shows that through 60,000,000 years
these birds of prey have changed very
little Another find of considerable
scientific Importance was that of the
skull and skeleton Of tiny deer. It
was hornless. stood about 2 feet high,
and had leg bones slenderer than lead
pencil.
Get Tons of Fossils.
The most abundant Of the fossils
| found by Mr.. Gilmore were those of
creodonts. a family of mammals that
became extinct without leaving any
near relatives among present-day ami
mails There were many varieties OF
them. varying considerably in size. Re
constructors indicate that they had
somewhat the physical characteristics
OF small pigs. Their teeth. however
were those of Illuminating animals and
they may have been cud chewers. APP
parently, they lived in great herds in
the Oligocene forests and along the
streams.
Mr.. Gilmore was assisted this Sum-
mer by George F. Sternberg and M. v
Walker Of Hays. Kans. They secured
altogether more than two tons Of fossils
Some of the best specimens probably
will be prepared for exhibition in the
National Museum.

Meeting Hopes
To Stabilize
Dairy Prices

LOS ANGELES, Aug. %. U.P)-
Sterilization of Southern Califor-
MAS chaotic milk industry appeared
likely today.
Producers and distributors were
to meet in the state building to
act on definite proposals to fix the

surplus production.
Confidence was expressed by the
milkmen that a solution of the in
dustry's immediate problems would
result from general committee
meeting, called TO- o'clock today
when final action will be taken.
Necessity for speedy agreement
was emphasized Saturday at a
meeting of the committee of 33,

dustry.
Many producers are in desperate
straits. Feed dealers, it was de-
clared, have notified many pro-
ducers that they will no longer be
able to sell fodder on credit basis
Credit alreaoy has been stretched
to the limit by many producers, it
was claimed
Proposals as 20 both price and
surplus disposal were made Sat
urday, but no definite action was
taken, it being left to a committee
of 10 to draft concrete plans.
Prices suggested for butterfat
ranged from So to go cents pound
Producers and distributors agreed
that the surplus should be borne
by the producers in proportion to
the amount of their output.
More than 15Ot producers in the

MOlecule Model
Perfected Says
Science Leader

DENVER, Aug. %. U.P)-Science
has found a way to build a model
of a molecule--though molecules
themselves are far too small to be
seen through the most powerful
microscopes.
Professor Donald H. Andrews, OF
John Hopkins University, today
described the intricate experiments
made to prove that the conception
of science as to how a molecule
should lock, is right.
His description came during the
opening session of the 84th annua
convention of the American Chem
ical society here today.
Andrews said that models of the
molecules were built up from steel
balls and springs, following the
generally accepted theory of the
worlds greatest scientists as to the
appearance of molecule.
The models then were shaken by
an electric motor, and it was found
that the three speeds at which they
vibrated correspond almost exactly
win the flequencies in the spectra
emitted by real molecules when
light rays were passed through
them
