STUDENTS QUIT
 EXAM ROOM

Syracuse. UP) Manufacture and sale of "cribbing machines" to Syracuse university students seeking aid in passing eXamina- tions has been charged here in an investigation of cheating among undergraduates.
 For many years students Of the College of Applied Science have followed the honor system in ex- amlna tions. During recent mld- year examination five engineers taking the course walked out of the exam room, declaring to the professor that they refused to compete against students cheating to pass the test.
 There was a rigid investigation by the faculty, who discovered that in colleges not under the honor system cheating in exam nations was apparently the ac- cepted thing. with many ingenious methods used. Evidence was ob- tained that "cribbing machines" consisting of long strips of onion skin paper rolled at either end on match sticks. were sold for $5 to students. The entire course was outlined on the paper and stu dents. by skilful manipulation in the palm of their hands, were able to find the answer to any question asked.
 The five College of Applied Sci ence students who walked out of the exam room were commended by the university administration.

 Brorsen's comet last seen in 1873 vii streak across the astronomical stage in November, according to the American Nature Association ot Washington. The other comets will appear in May. June and August.
 The two eclipses of the sun will be annular. An annular eclipse, the Nature association points out Is one in which the positions of the sun and moon Ire such that the moon fails to cover the solar disc completely, leaving a thin annulus or ring of light at the time corre- spending to totality in a total eclipse. The partial eclipses, Feb. 24 and Aug 21, will be visible only in the eastern and southern hemi. spheres.
 Mars, especially interesting be. cause of it's possibilities as an abode of life and it's varied sur face markings. which indicate sea- sonal changes. is due at preihelion that point in it's orbit nearest the sun, on March 1. Astronomers in. terested in this neighboring world will keep it under close scrutiny some weeks before and after the date of opposition, and new infor- nation about the ruddy planet may be forthcoming.

DIVER SOLVES WATERVILLE ROBBERY
WIDOW OF DEAD
 FIRE CAPTAIN IS SUSPECTED
Capt Wm J. Costello of Peabody Died of Poison That She Herself Had Bought

Peabody, Mass, Feb 28.-(UP)- Mrs William J. Costllo's statement that the poison which killed her fire captain husband was bought by her as the suggestion of a neighbor. Questioned by police, Mrs Abraham Hoffman, who lives next door to Mrs Costello, insisted she never had advised the latter that a mixture of cyanide of potas- sium and oxalic acid was ideal for cleansing purposes.
 The widowed mother of Costel- los two children, 31 and comeiy, has admitted having purchased the poison at a local pharmacy a few hours before her husband died February IS. She said she used 1t to clean a copper boiler and police found traces of both poisons on the boiler. Last night Costello's body was transferred from a crypt to St Mary's cemetery to an undertaking establishment for removal of more organs. Traces of cyanide already had been found in the body. Police today investigated a report that shortly before he died Costello had planned to drop $3,000 from a $5,Ooo insurance policy and get 8 loan on the balance!

EIGHT YEARS
 TO RECREATE
 THIS MONSTER
Smithsonian Institute Ex= perts Complete Long
 Task

Washington.-Itt took eight years to do it, but the Smithsonian ln- stitution of Washington finally has finished the work of reconstruct- ing one of the largest prehistoric dinosaurs that ever roamed the earth. Paleontologists of the in- stitution asserted "it was like re- building Q demolished skyscraper." Diplodocus, as this monster or 150 million years ago Is known to scientists, was more than 70 feet long and stood nearly 15 feet high. Every bone had to be placed cor rectly and with the proper orien- tation in order to reproduce the anical as he was in real life.
 Mystery of Monster
 How long the monster lived mo- body knows; nor does any one know how he came to his end in the treacherous ooZe millions Of years befor the first man ap- peared on earth. And Diplodocus probably didn't know either. Jud g. ing from the size of his brain he had only q very vague idea that he was alive at all. This 12 ton dinosaur had Q brain that weighed but four ounces.
 The elephant of to-day may reach weight of five tons. To support such a beast, 1t has been estimated a daily ration of about 300 pounds of green herbage IS necessary. If Diplodocus had the same requirements in relation to his weight, he would have de. voured more than 500 pounds or water weeds every day. It must be la that WhiI9 the elephant is a warm-blooded mammal who burns up great deal of fodder in the form Of en. ergy, Diplodocus was cold -blooded and probably a rather inactive reptile. He did not require so much food and may have been able to go long periods without any at all.
 Primeval Swamp Creations
 According to Charles W. Gil- more. the Institutions export of vertebrat paleontology. the re- storation yields some new light on these creatures of the primeval swamp. A close study of the bones led to the virtual certainty that Diplodocus, as well as most of the other monster dinosaurs, walked upright instead of assuming the more prone attitude like that of crocodile. A crocodillian attitude for the monster, Dr Gilmore says, involves anatomical impossibles.'
 The habitat of Diplodocus was semi tropical swamp now GOV cred by the mountains of north. eastern Utah. The remains of the present restoration were discov- cred by the Smithsonian expedition of 1923. Thre men have been almost continuously at work since then rebuilding the giant skeleton Nearly q month was required 10 get certain vertebra in their proper place. and there were about fifty in all.

WATERBURY PLAN
 OF MUTUAL AID
NOn-Partisan Citizens of Bristol Favor Work as
 Carried on Here
QUESTION STILL OPEN

The Bristol Partisan Tax payers league will continue to work for the principles of the William M. Harris plan of mutual relief, the executive board of the league decided, according to statement from it's president, Rich- ard c. Barrett.
 The statement followed a report by a special citizens committee "believing it unwise and impractic- local mans plans.
 MT Barrett stated that the tax payers league still feels that a. doption of the Harris plan would remedy the major faults in the present Bristol charity and unem- ployment relief system.
 The league gathers from all sources, including the report of the special committee of citizens, that the Harris plan cannot be put into effect in Bristol at this time, chiefly for the following reasons:
 Prominent persons are opposed to the Harris plan because the Community Chest would no longer have the exclusive right to solicit contributions from incomes and the several institutions and well fare work which the Community Chest runs would suffer.
 Persons of small incomes are loath to contribute because they believe those of large incomes would not contribute proportion- ately and that they are already contributing to the Community Chest.

The charge of Edward Udelo- witz,, chairman of the executive committee of the Property Owns CTS League. that there are 599 names of electors in the first ward on both the republican and demo- cratic primary lists met with little reaction from the office of the reg istrars of voters today. Thomas F. Dillane, republican registrar, stated that there are probably more than that number and that he did not intend to take them off unless the voters themselves requested 1t.
 Henry F. O'Connor, democratic registrar did not make any state ment it being assumed that his stand on the matter is the same as that of MT Dillane.
 Chairman Udelowitz in his com munication to the registrars of voters stated that unless the con- ditions were changed within 10 days, the assistance of the courts will be sought. Dillane's only com ment upon that phase of the com munication was, Let him go ahead"
 The office of registrar of voters Is one of the busiest in the city hall and when 1t is considered that 38,O0O voters names have to be indexed and checked as to resi- dences, change of residences, deaths and so forth, it can be readily seen, Mir Dillane points out. that we have not the time to call people to the office and tell them that their names are on both lists. He added that if voters names were removed from either list. there would be 8 big rumpus at Q primary election on the part or those who went to the polls to find they could not vote.

Adams grocery store on Boyden street, Waterville. about a week ago. The general clean-up of facts must be credited to Patrolman William Dwyer of the police motor patrol, but before night members of the detective bureau may be credited with an assist or two. The lone prisoner taken in up to noon hour is Joseph Telesco, 29, of Pilgrim avenue. The police had an inter- esting conference with him and developments may be expected.
