 Junior Red Cross During the past school year the members of the Junior Red Cross engaged in wide variety of activ- itieS.
 The Anderson school unit adopted fifty veterans in the U. s. govern ment hospital in Newington and the Bunker Hill school unit cared for a similar number in the hospital in Northampton. These patients were remembered every holiday and in 8 very special way at Christmas. About one thousand gifts. ranging from place cards, and peanuts to cigarettes and checker boards were sent them.
 The crippled children in the New ington home were given forty eight boxes of candy. The four schools enrolled in the Junior Red Cross tried to cover the local institutions, St. Mary's hospital Day Nursery, Waterbury hospital, Brookside Home, and St. Johns Hospice, in a likeway by donating to them seven hundred fayors and gifts.
 To our own Red Cross Chapter we contributed sixteen decorated Christmas trees, five large boxes of toys, and a dozen dolls. q A considerable quantity of food. clothing and toys was distributed in our respective school districts. During the year the ! children folded one thousand, eight hundred surgical dressings for the Water bury hospital.
 We fashioned most of our gifts from remnants of wallpaper, dis carded cold-cream jars and card boards, and from scraps of ribbon and crepe paper. When it was nec- essary to purchase supplies, we ob- tained the money by holding enter tainments. cake sales, and basket ball games.
 That the children enjoy doing this type of work is quite evident, for they willingly sacrifice hours ot leisure in order to complete these self Imposed tasks.
 I We feel that they are learning lessons of cooperation and service which later in life will be, perhaps even more valuable than much ci

BOARD RETURNS GUILTY VERDICT Accused Fireman Given Opportunity to Submit
 Resignation

Private Daniel F. Hickey, attached to the headquarters engine com pany, resigned from the fire depart ment late yesterday afternoon after the board of fire commissioners. sit- ting in special session, had found him guilty, the charge was that of being absent without leave. The board gave Hickey the option of re- signing before it voted on what pen- alty should be inflicted.
 Hickey was charged with failure to report at work from Nov. at 6 D. m. to Nov. at 8 8. m. He had been brought before the board on a similar charge two months ago, and at that time was ordered to serve two weeks without pay and lost his pay during the period of his suspension.
 Private Hickey was suspended by Chief Thomas J. Lynch last Mon- day.
 At yesterdays hearing, Hickey said he was in Hartford on the aft ernoon of the 2nd and lost his car. He called headquarters, he said, and asked Private Hogan to work for him for an hour or two. When he did locate his car, he said, he called headquarters and was told that Hogan had been sent home. Hickey said he understood that this meant he was under suspension, hence his failure to report.

Subsisted on Pond Lilies.
From fossil plants discovered by
the Swedish explorer, Sven Hedin,
and his own observations of the
plant life and early climate of the
regions in which the bones were dis
covered, he deduced that they sub
sisted on pond lilies. cat-tails and
grasses growing on the edge of swamps
and lakes and were only able to sat
isfy their colossal hunger by scooping
food in steam-shovel fashion.

President Henry Fairfield Osborn of
the American Museum of Natural
History had suggested the possibility
that the lower jaw was used to scoop
up swamp vegetation, but this was
held unlikely by many of his COL
leagues who recalled that the bones
were discovered in localities having
an extremely dry climate.
Working on DR.. OSborn's theory,
DR.. CLANCY examined petrified leaves
found by Hedin in rock strata which
indicated that they were growing at
about the time the shovel-tuskers

collection, all indicating that swampy

Gould there have been shallow
lakes in region as arid as that indi-
Gated by the trees?" CLANCY asked.
He found the answer in recalling the
driest parts of Asia and North Amer
ica which he had explored. remem-
ber;ng that even in the Cobb Desert
and Death Valley, Calf. numerous
lakes occur on the borders of the
mountains with abundant water vege-
tation present.
So, DR.. CLANCY concluded, I'VE have
only to summon the shovel-tuskers,
lead them to the shallow lakes, and
let them feed"
These elephants became extinct
millions of years ago as the result of
the drying up of the lakes in which
they fed and the extreme specializa-
ton of their jaws. which prevented
them from obtaining food in any
