PREPARES SCALE
OF CAMBRIAN ERA
Or. ReSSer Holds World Was
Once LoW-Lying Land
and Shallow Seas.

Half a billion years ago-at the
very dawn of life on earth so far as
it is known to science-thiS was a
world Of low-lying lands and vast
areas Of very shallow seas.
Such is the conclusion of DR..
Charles z. Resser, Smithsonian In
stitution paleontologist and an au-
thority on the earliest recorded times
of animal life, in a tentative time
scale of the Cambrian geologic era
prepared for the Geological Society
of America.
Below the Cambrian the pages Of
the rocks are almost blank records,
SO far as animal life is concerned.
But during this era, which persisted
for millions of years, there was rich
animal life in the seas, consisting
chiefly of trilobites, distant relatives
of the present-day crabs, whose dead
bodies sank into the soft sediment of
the sea bottoms and whose hard
shells nodded their form in the
sediment, which hardened into rock.
Studied Cambrian Occurrences.
In preparing his time scale, DR..
Resser made an intensive study of the
Cambrian occurrences. so that the
whole world could be reconstructed.
"Cambrian beds of all ages and
all lands" DR.. Resser says, contain
but minor proportions of conglomer-
ate material, and in these it is rather
uncommon to find transported and
rounded pebbles more than an inch
in diameter. Besides the flatness of
the lands, indicated by the almost
total absence of coarse transported
sediments, the Cambrian seas had
singularly smooth floors and were
everywhere very shallow. Single beds,
composed almost exclusively of trilo-
bite tests and brachiopod shells are
tracea5le for hundreds of miles. Both
the lands and the continental seas
indicate less relief than existed pos
sibly in any other geologic period"
Waters Flowed Slowly.
The absence of coarse pebbles ir
the Cambrian formations. DR.. Resser
points out, can indicate only that the
waters from the lands flowed slowly
and with little force down gentle
declivities into the seas. There is
also some evidence that the climate
was fairly warm Nothing has been
found which would indicate an ice
deposit, such as would be left by a
melting glacier, even in the far
North.
But despite its fatness. this was
probably a rather brilliantly colored
earth in Cambrian days, especially
toward the close of the era. Red
and other bright colors predominant
in the rocks, as far apart as British
Columbia, Manchuria and Greenland.
Psychologists, it is explained, do
not believe that life actually orig
mated in this warm, fiat, bright
colored world, where it persisted
through millions of years of deadly
monotony. The trilobiteS and the
brachiopods constituted a very high
order of life, and must have been
millions of years later than the
simple beginnings. But nobody ever
has succeeded in finding their pre-
decessors. Perhaps they had only
soft bodies which left no traces in
the sediments which later became
rocks.

Why You Should
Never Cut a Corn

If you are troubled with corns or cal.
louses, do not run the risk Of blood poll
son by pairing them. Statistics show
that many deaths have occurred from
this seemingly innocent practice Of par
ing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get .
few cents worth OF 1ce-Mnt, rub lit.
tie on any painful corn or callous. Inn
mediately the pain will disappear and
in a short time the corn or callous will
loosen and lift off easily with the fin-
gers-root and all-leavng the SUR
rounding skin in a healthy normal COM
dition.
This, together with the fact that Ice
Mint overcomes such affections as sore,
tired, aching, puffed or burning feet nd
makes them cool, easy and comfortable,
is probably responsible for the hearty
endorsement given it by druggists.
To rid ones feet Of every hard corn,
soft corn, corn between the toes or
painful callouses in such a pleasant and
safe way, makes 1t seem the height Of
folly for anyone to pare corn and peo-
pie are warned to stop it.
