DOG TEAMS

The first ski troops comprise 800 officers and enlisted men. Training would start on a great slide not far from proposed barracks with the men taking elementary spills on half-mile run that drops GOO 10 TOO feet. They would go back to the top by a Swiss type tram way for another try.
 There would be outdoor snow maneuvers of all kinds, including junkets to far places with dog teams. Also included would be training in the art of scaling icy peaks and education in the moun- tain and winter aspects of engi- neering, communications and sup ply.
 The fact that the Army staff has taken it under consideration does not mean that it is certainty. Over at Army headquarters, they are noncommittal, just say it is being studied. But Lewis and the Colcradoans who helped him out line and present the plan are hopeful.
 If you would ask me, the skl manufacturers and a lot of sol diers who know the difference between a slalom and a smorgas- bord are hopeful too.

Here is what Lewis and his CO., workers suggest: A 6000-acre train ing ground at an altitude of from lC,CC0 to l3000 feet in the bowl stretching up, to the divide near Jones pass, below which the Moi fat road ducks under the great ridge for it's long dark journey to the western slope.
 Twenty miles away at Fraser is a landing field where the air force could base for cooperative train ing with the snow troops. To the south is the Gore range and to the north the Arapaho. These would provide opportunity for moun- tain operations both in winter and summer.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Our knowledge of olden people
In Europe is based partly on bones
which have been found deep in the
earth. A skull or skeleton of
certain type may be given the name
of the place at which it is found.
In 1907, a mans jaWbone was
found near Heidelberg, Germany.
From study Of the jaw, and the
teeth in it, scientists were able to
tell a number of things about the
man who owned it, vast ages ago.
1t is called the Heidelburg jaw"
and there is much talk about 1.-The
Heidelburg man
In other cases, the remains OF
early people have been much more
complete. There are, for example,
almost complete skeletons of people
of the Cro-Magnon type.
Seventy-two years ago, men were
building road in Southern France,
The road led through valley, and
In that valley they found a cave
which no one had known about.
AIscientist same to the cave and
In it found the skeleton of an old
man. He also discovered a number
of tools and weapons made from
flint.
1t was clear that the man belonged
to Stone Age tribe. People be-
gan to speak of him as "the old
man of Cro-Magnon," because the

Cro-Magnon people as members of
special race. Their skulls were
a different shape from those which
had been dug up in other caves
where Stone Age people lived.
Since then, other skeletons of the
Cro-Magnon type have been located.
The skulls are of larger size than
those of other types of ancient
men. The size of the Gro -Magnon
brain was about the same as that
of the modern white man.
Cro-Magnon men were tall, often
standing more than 6 feet. Some
of them were artists. They made
images of bone and ivory, and on
the walls of caves they painted
pictures Of many kinds.

Epizootic
Epizootic
Adj Affecting many animals
at one time.

Honestly, now, haven't you often
declared humorously, I've got the
ep-i-zOO-tic"? Being of the genus
Homo. you cannot use the word
epizootic in any way as applying to
yourself or to any other human.
For many years the impression
has been abroad that epizootic is
either a nonsense term for an un-
named comedy illness. or the name
Of a disease affecting horses. No
less a word master than H. L..
Mencken himself used the word in
the latter sense in The Downfall
of a Revolutionary" Esquire, Sep
tember, 1910. by referring to" my
fathers horse, John, who is laid up
with epizootic."
The fact is, the word does not
name a disease or specific illness
of man or beast An epizootic is
to animals what an epidemic is to
humans. The word means "a
