Once inside, there was no way to
get out.
It was curious assemblage Of
northern and southern animals.
Bones of wolverines and martens,
types now found only in the far
northern woods, are mingled with
those of tapirs, which now range no
farther north than Central America.
This can only mean, the Smith
sonian man believes, that the bones
were assembled only over a very
considerable period. possibly sew
eral thousand years. during which
there was notable change in the
climate. The Ice age extended over
approximately two million years.
But during this time there were
several retreats and advances Of
the glaciers with intervals of rela-
lively warm climate.

City of Pittsburgh Was
Named for William Pit

In the tall, imposing figure of Will
liam Pitt, earl of Chatham, the
American colonies had a distin-
guished champion in the British par
lament in the period before the
American Revolution.
Much of Britain's dominance of
North America, writes Leslie Hart
ley in the Washington Star, was
due to Pitts efforts and in series
of expeditions against the French he
had cultivated the loyal cooperation
Of the colonists.
When England began a program
of taxation which these colonists re-
garded as unjust, Pitt championed
their cause. He secured the repeal
Of the stamp act passed in 1765 and
protested again when a tax was
levied on tea, glass, paper and other
articles.
AS the quarrel deepened, Pitt, in
ITS introduced a bill in parliament
which declared the supremacy of
England over the colonists in all
cases except taxation and he add
ed: You cannot conquer the col
onists.'
Though he was never willing to
recognize American independence,
he continued toplead for Cancellation.
America did not forget his friend
ship and among others, the city of
Pittsburgh is named in his honor.

Cats as Large as Lions
Lived in MARYLAND Cave

Monster cats, as big as lions or
tigers and probably just as fierce,
were the terrors of western Mary
land about million years ago.
Bones of these creatures, together
with those of IS other animals who
lived near the city of Cumberland
at some interval early in the last
Ice age, have been described by
a Smithsonian Institution paleontol-
ogist.
These bones were gathered from
a limestone cavern, opened when a
railroad cut was being constructed,
and represent strange assortment
of creatures ranging from maStodon
to crocodile.
The presumption is that in Ice age
days the cavern was a natural trap
with an opening directly on top
through which the animals f"H

Pewter Once Held Favor,
Then Made Into Bullets

Pewter was the product of time
when economic conditions governed
actual needs, and neither in COM
position nor design was it other
than what it was intended to bean
unpretentious household commod-
ity for daily use.
Pewter speaks of the days in our
country when history was in the
making. We associate with it the
stern and vigorous life of the early
settlers. Surrounding it is much OF
pathos and romance, for more than
one piece of choice pewter was
thrown into the melting pot to
make bullets to defend the home es-
tablished in the new land.
For a period of nearly 100 years
preceding the War Of the Revolution,
notes Alice R. Rollins in the Los
Angeles Times, it was practically
the only tableware available. Grad
ually it had supplanted the wooden
ware used during the early years Of
settlement and in turn gave way
to the china and silver Of more
prosperous times. -
Although much Of the pewter used
in the earlier part of the colonial
period was brought from England,
a great deal of it was made by
craftsmen of the colonies.
Almost every community had its
pewterers. Little skill was required
to produce plates, basins, mugs and
the like as they required only cast
ing, finishing on lathe and little
soldering or welding.
Many of the designs were copied
from the English pieces which were
shipped to the colonies, but on the
whole the American pewterers con-
fined themselves to making plain
and practical pieces of their own
designing. ..-.

Mail Franking Privilege
Held by Adams for Life

John Adams, as a member OF
congress, was among the first to
be accorded the mail ranking priv
ilege and this he retained as am
bassador to the various courts of
Europe, as Vice President under
Washington, as President and after
ward, by special act of congress, for
life. Aside from Jefferson, recalls
a writer in the New York Herald
Tribune, no other President has had
the privilege as long as Adams and,
curiously, both died on the same
day, July 4, 1926, exactly so years
after both had signed the Declara-
ton of independence.
In the first election of 1889 Adams
received the second highest number
of electoral college votes and was
declared Vice President. He &C.
copied the Office, albeit with bit
Of chagrin as he did not relish being
second, and, although he had great
admiration for Washington, he felt
that his own contribution to the
cause of the infant republic had
merited the greater reward.
In the vice presidency he served
the two terms under Washington
during the formation Of the first po-
itical parties. The FederaliSts, led
by Hamilton, believed. in a strong
central government, and the Demo-
neutrality-suspicious., followers Of JET
ferson, in the supremacy of the
states. Adams belonged to the for
mer but begrudged Hamilton the
leadership and as consequence all
but missed the presidency in the
election Of 1897.
Adams term in the presidency
was not happy. He as out of har-
mony with his party. The country
came to the verge Of war with
France, which Adams personal &C.
ton evaded but at the expense Of
much of his prestige at home. Last
ly the notorious alien and sedition
laws which he had supported
brought resolutions of disapproval
from several of the states. He was
defeated for reelection and in 1901
retired to his home in Quincy, never
again to take part in public life.

Hanging Gardens for Kings Wife
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

near the Euphrates river, attached
to the palace of King Nebuchad-

he is small in comparison to a lion,
the mantled bowler is the largest
and heaviest Of all New World mon

He swings by his tail, a charac-

Tanager Not Friendly Bird

The tanager is not what one would
call friendly bird. like our robin
or cardinal. and some Of the experts
even go so far as to call him
stupid. The female of the species
is such a plain bird that few per-
sons would even suspect that they
had any relationship to each other.
This is the almost universal rule
in nature. The males often are
gaudy in celebration, whereas the
females are very plain. The pea
cock and peahen are excellent ex-
amples; so are the male and female

District officials today braced
themselves for an avalanche Of
protests over reports that a colored
burglary suspect had been held
for two days and nights without
sleep at Police Headquarters.
Meanwhile, Acting Chief Of De
tectives Ira Keck, who ordered the
prisoner returned to the Third
prencnict last night after the re
ports were called to his attention,
said he is checking" on the case.
ScOffs at Charge
"I know that the first report
that the prisoner was forced to
remain standing for two days while
he was being questioned is en-
tirely inaccurate" Captain Keck
said.
IT do not believe he was sub
jected to two days questioning
without sleep, but I'm checking
on the facts in the case. It
would not be accurate to say
have ordered an investigation
or that I have demanded a
report"
Publication of the report created
a furore among organizations
which recently protested against
alleged police brutality toward
colored prisoners.
