Oldest Land Plant Is
Discovered in Sweden

ambridge, Mass. The
worlds oldest land plant, esti-
mated to be about 500, e00,00
years old or almost twice as old
as previously discovered speci-
mems, has been detected from
its fossil remains by a Harvard
scientist.
The primitive shoot, found in
black oil shale from Sweden, is be-
lieved to have lived during the Cam
brian era, a fact that substantially
doubles the known age of higher
plant forms on earth. Previous evil
dence has indicated that plant life
first emerged from the water dur
ing the uppermost Silurian period
or just under 800, 100000 years ago.
Investigators have for some time
suspected that land plants probably
existed during the earlier Cam
brian period from a study of the
fossils of animals of that era which
must have depended to some extent
on plants in their diet. This indi-
rect evidence, however, has never
previously been confirmed by dis
covery of the remains of the plants
themselves.

The village itself seemed to

Ex-Mental Patient
Warns Dissipation
Leads to Collapse
Shun Bad Temper, Drink
and Love-Nests, He Says
By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER
Science Service Staff Writer.

Science Service otaH Wrltcr.
New York. = Bad temper,
greed, and overweening ambi-
ton are blamed for the bring
ing on of mental disease, by
Henry Collins Brown, histori-
an-founder of the Museum of
the City of New York, himself
patient for about three years
in a state hospital for mental
patients and now recovered.
Mr.. Browns own breakdown oc-
Cured when, at the age of sixty
five, he was removed from the mu-
scum in which were tied up all his
hopes and dreams and he was re-
placed by younger man. He did
not close his mind" did not be-
come confused in his thoughts, but
he entered long period of depres-
sion during which he ceaselessly
paced the floor without rest or even
sense of fatigue. During that Pc
riod he made many Illuminating OBJ
servations of those about him.
Love Nests, Liquor Blamed.
early in my sojourn l became
profoundly impressed with the large
number of cases that were what I
classed as preventable," Mr.. Brown
said in summing up these impress
sions in "a Mind Mislaid," pub
lished by Dutton. ''That is to say,
they were the result of causes that
could be avoided. They were the
direct and natural consequences OF
the risks deliberately chosen by the
patients themselves. And, of
course, when things went wrong, as
they invariably did, one or two per-
sons smashed up as a consequence.
"Philandering and excessive
drinking furnished the largest con-
tingent of these casualties" Mr..
Brown declared.
"Love nests rear nothing but
'cuckoos.' That is piece of bug
house philosophy worth remember
ing"
Particularly, Mr.. Brown warns
against the dangers, mental as well
as physical, of intense anger, which
he hints had to do with his own
troubles. Any feeling so powerful
as to take blood from one part of
the body and send it scurrying to
another puts upon the heart a vio-
lent strain, he points out. Persons
who let themselves go whenever the
impulse moves them are doing
themselves serious injury.
Self-Control Not Easy.
eve have all known men who al
low themselves to get in a towering
rage over some very trivial mat
ter" said Mr.. Brown. perhaps if
that man knew that he might snap
one of the numerous delicate tissues
of the brain, causing him to spend
his old age in an insane asylum,
he might very readily learn to con-
troll himself.
"Now self-control is not an easy
matter. Today I can control myself,
but who wants to go through what
I did to learn a lesson that can be
acquired without all that hideous
torment and suffering?
81 often think a few weeks spent
in an insane asylum would be the
greatest panacea for bad temper
that could be devised"

No Trace of Air Found
on the Planet Mercury

Ca bridge, Mass. The
planet Mercury has no trace of
atmosphere, observations of
the recent transit of Mercury
(the planet passing across the
disk of the SUM- made at Har-
wards astronomical station at
Bloemfontein, South Africa, in
dictate. There was no luminous
arc around the planet, indicat-
ing no air.
Best astronomical evidence was
that Mercury, like the moon, was
completely without air, any that it
may have had having escaped into
space long, long ago. But the evil
dence for the lack on Mercury was
less detailed than for the moon.
Aside from the lack of sufficient
atmosphere, Mecury is too burn
ing hot to support life. The surface
temperature is from $40 to $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit, tin would melt
thereon and from it's position the
sun is Az times larger than we see
it from the earth.

Powdered Bone Used as
Remedy for Pyorrhea

New York.-Boiled powdered
bone was suggested as a rem
edy in pyorrhea and diseased
jaw bones at a faculty clinic 81
Columbia university school of
dental and oral surgery here.
Powdered bone was successful in
treating pyorrhea and jaw bone
damage in dogs, DR.. frank E.
Beube reported.
The bone used was obtained from
the long bones of sheep and cows.
This boiled powdered bone was
packed into the holes surgically pro-
duced in the jaw bone to resemble
the holes produced by disease or in
jury. Within few weeks ne.a bone,
natural cement layer, ana other
dental tissues had grown in to re-
place those lost. In the case of pyor-
rhea, quite loose" tooth was firm
in its socket after the powdered
bone treatment had healed the dis
eased condition.

Speed of Comets

The speed of comets, while not
perceptible to the casual observer,
is much greater than that of the
planets, writes DR.. Thomas M. Beck
in the Chicago Tribune. Moreover,
comets are not limited to any parti-
cular part of the sky. They may
appear in any part of the heavens
and come from any direction. In
general they move toward the sun,
sweep around it in a wide curve,
and then move back in the direction
from which they came until they
fade into darkness. The most strik-
ing thing about them is the fact
that as they approach the sun they
drag their tails behind them, but
as they retreat they push their tails
ahead-that is, the tail, instead OF
following the comet, always points
away from the sun.

Use of All Kinds of Lace
Revived for Summer Wear

The use of all kinds of lace has
peen revived for summer wear.
Helene Yrande uses pure white
lace for fitted deshabille which has
enormously full, pulled sleeves to
the elbow. The low cut front decol-
lette is filled with doubled bands of
chiffon in pale yellow and pale
green.
These two colors are repeated in
the chiffon sash which is twisted
about the bodice Grecian fashion,
and tied in back with the floating
chiffon streamers hanging in back
and forming suggestion of train.

RIBBONS TAKE ON
ADDED IMPORTANCE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Ribbons have not been so impor-
tant for a long time as they now
are. They are used for sashes, for
girdles; shoulder straps that are
part of the design of the dress, for
landings and for entire jackets and
toques.
Many of the better styled frocks
and tailored suits have their edges
finished with grosgrain ribbon bind
ings. The new idea of these bind
ings is carried out both in mono
tone and in contrasting effects.
Beige finished with black or brown
ribbon bindings is favorite theme,
also black bound with white gros-
grain.
Perky velvet ribbon bows trim
print frocks while many dress fronts
are fastened with narrow tied rib
bons. Ribbon trims on hats are
widely advocated and there is con-
siderable use of broad betting rib
bon to artfully band high crowns.

Warn Children Against
Playing With "Dry Ice"

Chicago.-Don't let children
get hold of "dry ice," warn Drs.
Max L. Som and A. Harry Neff-
son of New York city.
One of the popular neighborhood
diversions is to beg or buy some
carbon dioxide snow and to put a
small piece of it in the mouth. Then
the child will blow off steam"
These two physicians report the
case of a seven-year-old boy who
swallowed piece of "dry ice," in
the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association. The boy is all right
today, but it took great deal OF
medical treatment and surgery be-
fore the damage was repaired.

describable charm and the square
inclined neckline and the majestic
sweep of the skirt so expertly styled
so as to slenderize at the same time
that it achieves a full hemline, are
all details that glorify. The sophis-
ticated simplicity of this gown
and the elegance of the all-silk satin
is its big appeal.
An interesting feature about pres
ent party dresses is that their sill
houettes go to such extremes. Some
are sheathlike to the knees with
f1aring hemlines and slenderized fit
ted waistlines, while others are that
bouffant it requires yards and yards
of material to make them. For the
airy-fairy types that are so en-
trancing and so beloved this sea-
son by the younger set, vaporous
filmy chiffons and billowy tulles and
nets are the logical answer.
Beautifully draped in classic lines
is the dress pictured to the left. It
required yards and yards of white
silk chiffon for its fashioning. The
girdled straps OF narrow ribbon re-
fleet Greek influence.
To the right a most exquisite silk
chiffon evening ensemble is shown.
The girlish simplicity of this dainty
gown and cape commends this cos
tune to the young debutante. This
lovely creation naively informs you
that not all the honors are going to
all-white for in this instance the
chiffon is in the new exquisite desert
dawn tint, which is a delicate pink
shade that is too lovely for words.
The gown has halter neck which
is most becoming to the wearer.
The cape is grace itself. BY the
way, you really should have a cape
of chiffon or of net or of some type
of silk sheer to wear with lingerie
dresses, for the transparent cape is
one of fashions pet vanities this
summer.

A FTER all when it comes to look
ing your sweetest and prettiest
is there anything in the way of
lovely party frock more flattering
to endearing feminine charms than
all-white? Really now, is there?
Evidently fashion feels the same
way about it for with all the excit-
ing, the glamorous, the esthetic, the
hectic, the eye-appealing delectable
tones and tints on the color card
this season, comes all-white on the
scene and the contest is on, written
all over the style program and in
big headlines-white versus color!
The chic and the charm and the
Immaculate nicely with which the
all white costume dresses you up
during the daytime hours is exceed
ed only by the magic and the
irresistible loneliness of the dine
ambulance and the formal party
frocks that designers are creating
of frothy white silk sheers this sum-
mer such as mousseline de soies,
silk organdies, finest dainty silk
nets and soft "drapy" filrny chif-
fons that sway and flutter and dance
to the strains of rapturous music.
Then there are the stiff silks that
are such favorites and which re-
quire such queenly styling to do
them justice. Their vogue in all
white is outstanding with particular
emphasis on cleaning white satin
which this summer is more than
ever holding sway in ballroom and
at formal night functions. A most
fascinating white silk satin gown is
shown centered in the illustration.
It's stately princess lines are de-
ightfully in keeping with the exqui-
siteness of the fabric itself. The

dog-tired, forced himself to a final
effort. At last, someone sighted him
and shouted. Then Sergeant Terry

A second figure joined the mounted
policeman, crying out as she came.
1t was Jeanne Towers.

Hammond glanced concernedly
toward Jeanne. He had remem-
bered the day of the robbery and
her fears of publicity.
ST didn't think what I was say

faced him, unafraid.
"It's all right. / wrote the whole

Hurriedly Hammond relate d
through thick lips what had hap
pened in Lew Shades cabin. Ser
geant Terry wheeled.

miners who had been assisting Tim
nay at the plane. "Come get this
fellow. And you" he indicated an
other gold seeker, "see if you can
find a cot somewhere. Put it in
that plane-we've got to take this
man to Rupert. And hurry"
The commands were obeyed.
Whimpering, Lew shade was car
ried away. Jeanne looked after
him.
"Do you think he'll ive?"
"He's got to live," Hammond an
swered grimly. Until we find Bruce
Kenning."
"Not necessarily" said Terry
crisply. "a death-bed statement is
valid evidence" He reached into his
red tunic for a notebook. Better
give me the whole story"
Must it be now?" Jeanne begged.

The man rubbed a hand over his
swollen face.

Jeanne Towers shook her head as
though she did not believe him.
Hammond forced laugh.
"I'm all right, Jeanne. I'd take
twice this to do what I did to
Kenning. Stop worrying about me-"
Then, as tersely as possible, he
obeyed Terry's command for the
entire story of his fight. There
was no time to be wasted in long
descriptions or wordy theories. The
fire was coming closer; from be-
hind them the twisted streets of the
little town were loud with bowling
huskies, the cries of women and
the commands of men; the exodus
toward the life RATS already was
beginning. There would not be room
on them for everyone-many must
take their chances in the shadows

Use Pink Chiffon Roses
to Trim Evening Jacket

Pale pink roses of shaded chiffon
are applied cleverly as trimming on
an evening jacket of sheer, white
chiffon in the new Schiaparelli col

Pale yellow and green chiffon is
used effectively to make sprays of

Enforce Simple
Rules of Road to
Cut Traffic Toll
Drivers in Mishaps Must
Appear for Hearings
By ROBERT ID. POTTER
Science Service Writer.

Washington.-As the League
of Nations has long since
found out, you can set up all
sorts of rules and regulations
but their success depends on
the kind of enforcement which
goes along with them. Some
thing of the same kind of situ-
alton exists in regard to the in
tricate and varied traffic laws
and regulations which are in
visibly but firmly wound
around every driver of motor
vehicle on the roads of Amer
lea today.
The current and encouraging
trend among thinking traffic experts
today is toward simplification rather
than an augmentation of the traffic
rules. Four simple, basic "rules
of the road" are suggested by DR..
H. c. Dickinson, chief of the heat
and power division of the national
bureau of standards in Washington
and chairman of the important high
way research board of the National
Research council.
Condensed in summary these
rules are:
l. Stick to your own lane OF traffic
with but two thoughts in mind.
Watch the car ahead and warn the
car behind when you do anything
which changes your movement In
your own traffic lane.
Wait for Others Signal.
2. Realize that you have no right
to cross or turn into another traffic
lane. You do so at your own risk
and must not do so without proper
signal.
3. Change from your own traffic
lane only after having given a spe-
cific signal or by clear indication
by the motion of your car. BUT, do
not complete the movement until
you have received signal from the
other driver that he will yield rs
right of way.
4. At no time exceed such speeds
that your car cannot be stopped
in it's own traffic lane before inter-
fering with other traffic in this lane,
or with traffic which may reason
ably be expected to enter your lane
even without a specific right to do
so.
DR.. Dickinson, however, is not
merely content to set up such SIM
pie basic rules. He knows that on
the proper enforcement rests their
effectiveness.
Get Both Parties in Court.
Any traffic accident, says DR..
Dickinson, means that one Of the
four basic rules has been violated.
It is probable that both parties have
been guilty in this respect and the
fact of the accident itself should
be prima-facie evidence of such
violation. A consideration of each
accident in this fashion would put it
up to the fellow who had not vio-
lated the rules of safety to show
that he had not.
Consequently, states DR.. Dickin-
son, both parties should be required
to appear at a hearing on the acct
dent in question. If one of the par
ties is innocent he should be able to
prove it in court.
In order to get both parties to an
accident into court, it should be OBJ
ligatory, contends DR.. Dickinson,
that both parties report any COLI
sion in which there is personal in
jury or damage to cars other than
to tenders or bumpers. Failure
of either party in the accident to
report it, should be considered as
'1eaving the scene of the accident"
A system of small rewards might
be installed to encourage anyone to
report traffic accidents.

Broad brimmed hats which FASH

combine well with this type of af-

of gay print on dark background.
It is made with puff sleeves and
sailor collar. Catalin costume jew
elry including bow clip-brooca
and bangle bracelets in the new
pepper and SALT design by Schia-

The hat is of black baku with
