DIN0SAUR DISCOVERY
MAY BE KEY TO ORES

TUCSON, Ariz. (P.-Dr. A. A.
Stoyanow, University of Arizona geolo-
gist, believes the recent discovery of a
dinosaur skeleton in Southeastern Ari-
zona may prove of great value to mod
ern prospectors hunting "lost veins"
Of valuable ore.
The find, he said, will afford prac-
tical aid to miners dealing with the
vagaries Of rock strata, jumbled in
prehistoric upheavals.
The skeleton was the first proof that
the geological formation of the area
where the bones lie was of the Gre
taceous period. Prior to the discovery
many geologists believed the area was
Of the tertiary period millions of years
later.
DR.. stoyanow explained the value of
the discovery to miners thus: "Often a
vein of ore will run OUT that is, the
geologic period formation in which it
existed is broken off, and the vein is
lost II the miner knows to what
period the vein belonged and can then
md within a reasonable distance
strata of the same period, he stands
9 good chance Of recovering the vein
or finding similar ore formation"

work of moment for the colonel
to recognize this and engagingly 70
on with his story.
II found it down by the cottage,
ladies, in little grove Of pine trees.
Ha, ha, ha! 1t was pretty sight-
the tender little bud half hidden
In the forest primeval. Ha, ha, ha,
oh, no, no, ho!" The clever reference
to the "Evangeline" was too much
for the colonel, and he laughed with
out restraint long and loud. His
listeners quickly perceiving that some
thing must have been very funny,
indeed, all but outdid the colonel in
their appreciative response.
THE merriment was at its height
when 6-year-old Betty Carlisle
came up the stairs Of the veranda
She was dabbing at her eyes with a
tiny handkerchief and wailing audibly.
Hearing her Sobs, the colonel turned
around and faced her, still holding
the flower in front OF him. Betty
didn't look up, and the colonel, see
ing an opportunity to be clever,
switched the bud into his other hand
Evening star., 1937-04-15

on the veranda looked at one
another knowingly and adjusted
smiles upon their faces appropri-
ate to the treat apparently in
store for them. They beamed at the
colonel as he moved slowly mp the
stairs toward tthe center Of the group
He was no amateur in the matter Of
staging his operations. His white hair
was kept slightly longer than most
mems. He wasn't over 60, but he
walked slowly and with the dignity
of the octpgenarian. His clothes were
always we'll pressed, his cravat neat
ly tied, his shirt clean and starched.
Col. Bottomly especially enjoyed q
female audience.
REAcH1NG the center OF the stage,
the colonel leaned against the
white porch rail, first caring that it
was clean, and smiled benignly round
upon the upturned faces. Smiling
broadly, all of them, he noticed clear
ly anticipating one Of those little
quips which he knew had made him
famous, one of those little gems of
humor that invariably threw his audi
ence and himself into spaSms of hap
py laughter.
MY dear friends" he said, bur-
lesquing formality, Il have a little
surprise for you this awfternoon.
His face broke into wreath Of
smiles and, as if at signal, his listen
ers promptly smiled back at him.
Il have spent a very pleasant hour
walking in the fields, ladies'" said
the colonel. "Ha, ha, ha! Not play
ing golf, mind you" He shook his
: finger at them playfully. "No-o-o,
nothing so awdinry, ha, ha! was
communing with nature"
At this point the colonel looked
around at all his eager listeners and
with visible effort kept very straight
face. Then, giving up helplessly, he
slapped his thin, dignined thigh and
rocked back and forth with laughter
'Ho, no, ho!" he said, his eyes spar
king, his face slightly flushed. "Ha,
ha, hal"
X X
DEAR or dear" he said after he
had regained his composure
"They say laughing causes wrinkles,
don't they, ladies?" This was too
much for the colonel, and he burst
into happy laughter again, only bare
ly having time to cast a sly glance
around the group to indicate that he
knew he shouldn't speak OF these
little secrets.
II found this howah in the course
OF my journey. ladies'" the colonel
continued, holding up a very beau
tiful little bud which he had been
carefully concealing behind his back
during. the pleasantries. "It is an In
dian violet, very rare specimen. 1t
Is probably the only one Of its kind
in the district. They usually don't
do we'll in this climate unless given 4
great deal of care"
At this point the colonel stopped
speaking and held the little bud out

and concealed 1t behind him. Then

and concealed 1t behind him. Then
he spoke to her.
"Oh, my, my, my, Miss Betty" he
said, assuming an expression Of deep
concern, why 50 sad this beautiful
awfternoon?" He planned to placate
her tears the next moment by gen.
erously Offering her the flower.
."s-somebody stole m-my Indian
violet" she sobbed. Daddy brought
1t from California, and I planted 1t
in the pine grove, and n-now It's
g-gone!" ...-.f
The colonel's handsome, dignifled
face blanched. What in the world
had he done? After all these years
of fine, upright, noble living, was he
to be caught out in a pretty theft?
Was he, Col. Bottomly, the sage OF
Wildwood Lodge, to lose face before
his favorite audience? The thing
seemed incredible.
The past fled by before the colonels
mind; how he always struggled to
appear in the light of an outstanding
citizen. He remembered his early
training as Boy Scout, his pledge
to do a good deed every day, to
always tell the truth. All, that
was 1t, always tell the truth! He
must confess publicly. here and
now. to little Betty that he had
filched her flower. She would ad-
mire him for his straightfor-
wardness. The ladies would thrill
with the dramatic humility OF the
scene.
MY dear child" said the colonel,
holding the bud in his outstretched
hand, Il stole your Indian violet"
He bowed his head in shame. II
knew not what did. I thought
that 1t grew there wild"
Well" said Betty, clenching her
teeth, hnging her blond curls back
defiantly, you old walrus!"

CUNTHERS THE BIGGEST SELLER N THIS THIS Es4idn S3R1
BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SWEET Beer q
Gunther's real dry, beery
beer-nuvor is not matched
by other domestic beers /

Americans are becoming real beer drinkers again.
All over the country they are showing preference
for dry, beery beers like Gunthers. More and
more, people are turning away from the sweet
tasting connections of prohibition days.
Ask any old-time brew master. He'll shudder at
the thought of those concoctions people called
beer during prohibition. Home brew and needle"
beer made with sugar and raisins-sweet, green"
mixtures that quickly filled you up and left you
feeling dull. He'll tell you that even today, while
many beers are being made on the sweet side, the
only real beers are those made like the old Bohe-
mian and Bavarian brews Light in body rather
than heavy, they seem never to fill you up. Like
dry cocktail or dry wine, they never spoil your

appetite and yet they are extremely satisfying.
Gunther's is just such beer. Made from the
choicest imported hops, its flavor is unmatched by
other domestic beers. That's why more of it is sold
in this part of the country than any other beer.
You'll find that in Milwaukee, St. Louis, Pitts
burgh and other cities where good beers are made,
the dry beer outsells sweeter beer by wide mar
gin. And here in Washington and Baltimore,
Gunthers will be your favorite if you are real
beer drinker
You'll never tire of the taste of Gunther's.
Learn to know its dry beery tang and you'll never
want to drink any other kind. Order case now
and see for yourself how refreshing it's flavor really
is. Gunther Brewing Company, Inc, Baltimore, Md.
rnkers gather you'll find the swing from brew
of the finest Bavaan and Bohemian beers it's the

Meanwhile, one Of the gravest
crises aroused by the Spanish civil
war confronted Europe as q result
Of Italo-G German desire to hasten
an insurgent victory and growing
Anglo-French impatience at the
tactics Of Chancellor Hitler and
Premier Mussolini. Britain and
France became increasingly an
noyed over what they regarded as
Fascist flouting Of the regulations
for international nonintervention
in the Spanish conflict.
Diplomatic circles here feared
the nonintervention accord now
Is nearer collapse than at any
time heretofore, with growing
danger that Germany, followed by
italy, may withdraw from the
agreement.
Fear PrOvOcatiOn Action
The new crisis, resulting from
German charges that a Spanish
1oyaliSt submarine attempted to
torpedo the German cruiser Leip-
zig, was eaSed somewhat, however,
by the general belief that Germany
would not resort Immediately to
Q drastic act of reprisal like the
recent bombardment Of Almeria.
Nevertheless, it was feared Ger
many might take provocative &C.
ton If italy and Germany with
draw from the non-intervention
accord.
In view of this, 1t is believed
France will renew pressure for
an Anglo-French naval blockade
Of Spain to enforce the agree
ment. France doubts that Italy
and German would dare to chal-
lenge the combined naval forces
Of Britain and France for a show
down.
Indignant at Berlin
The British government Is
highly indignant at Berlin, believ-
ing Germany is taking advantage
Of the French government crisis
to press its demands against the
Valencia government.
Some official circles here feared
Germany might consider the pres
ent moment opportune to resort
to open intervention in Spain in
the belief there would be no dan
ger Of interference from France
and Soviet Russia in view Of the
internal crises in the latter two
countries.
