brought in, said the calm-voiced
nurse at the desk. "Why was the
state patrolman at the hospital II
was the next query. "Well" came the
reply with just trace amusement
''he might have been here for other
reasons" which left the mystery still
unsolved. However, it was cleared up
the following morning with the an
nouncement that son had been born
at the hospital that night to Patrol
man and Mrs. Charles J. Ellis of Ii
ma. And just to complete the record,
we will add that on the following
night another son was born at the
hospital here to Patrolman and Mrs.
F. r. Blackstone, also of Lima.
Added to the list of 30 year sub
scribers to the Bluffton News are
Mr.. and Mrs. L. S. Hochstettler who
have been readers of the News ever
since they were married in 1895. Mrs.
Hochstettler is the former Amanda
Balmer. For 40 years the couple
lived on the farm southwest of
Bluffton where they started house
keeping after which they moved to
town. Congratulations on a half-cen-
tury of News leadership.
And there's Horace Stratton who
is in his seth year as a Bluffton
News subscriber. He began taking
the News the same year he built a
log cabin on his present farm south
of Bluffton. Christmas, that year, he
recalls was a warm-springlike day
and windows and doors were wide
open with no need of log fire for
heating.
And j. j. Smith, northwest of Mt.
Cory has been a subscriber since 1910
to the Ohio Farmer, one of the old
standbys in farm publications of the
Middlewest.
Altho he is not Bluffton native,
Dean S. Knight of Sheridan, ILL.,,
says he enjoys reading the Bluffton
News, which is the hometown paper
of his wife. Mrs. Knight is daugh
ter of Aaron Geiger of South Main
street. The News has been going to
the Knight home for a number of
years. Crops in Illinois this year were
good and weather favorable to har-
vest, he writes in renewing the sub
scription.
That Bluffton still figures promin-
emily in the memory of Rev. A. X.
Beisheim, former pastor of the st.
Johns Reformed church, is demon
strated by a letter and newspaper
clipping received from him this
week.
In the letter, Rev. Beisheim re-
fers to an all-but-forgotten phenom-
enon of about a decade ago when
Bluffton folks were astounded to hear
drain pipe at the town hall per-
fectly reproducing radio broadcast
one cold winter night.
The newspaper clipping refers to
recent experiments at Johns Hopkins
university stemming from an acci-
dental discovery that tiny strip
of frozen metal, without power
source, tubes or antenna, will pro-
vide excellent radio reception.
Experiments at the station have
disclosed that by mechanical means
different stations may be dunedin"
on the unique receiver. Experiment
ers say reception is as good or bet
ter than that of the ordinary house
hold radio.
Rev. Beisheim now is pastor of
Zoar Evangelical and Reformed
church in Buffalo where he has been
for number of years.

Reds Decision on Role
Awaited as Monetary
Farley Opens Today
By the Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Mar. g. Delegates
to the International Monetary Con-
ference opening here today will seek
an early answer from Russia as to
whether she intends to rejoin the
original Breton Woods monetary
group now or sit out this meeting as
an observer.
This was shown on a tentative
agenda as representatives of more
than 40 nations converged on this
old city to begin Transforming the
projected international bank and
monetary fund into working organi-
cations.
Most of the participants, including
the Russians as last-minute starters
in the role of observers, were sched-
uled to arrive shortly before noon.
Social Preliminaries Started.
Only social preliminaries were
scheduled today with full dress
plenary session replete with speech
making set for tomorrow. The show
down sessions will begin next week.
The agenda, still subject to con-
ference approval, gave top billing to
decisions on membership in the
bank and fund to which $13, 924 $780,
600 already has been subscribed by
IS nations. The two institutions
will seek to promote international
trade, build up weak nations and
iron out some of the kinks in the
present system of foreign exchange.
A membership committee would
be charged directly with determin-
ing the nations able to participate
This would include a determination
of which countries have ratified the
Breton Woods agreement either be-
fore or after the deadline of last
January /.
Soviet Answer Will Affect Farley.
The answer given by the Soviet
Representatives definitely will affect
the course of the conference.
AS now set up, India is included in
the financial Big Five" These are
the nations contributing the largest
amounts to the fund and bank and
as such they will be accorded per-
manent seats on the 12-man execu-
tive boards of the two institutions.
The other seven seats in each group
are elective.
The conference thus will face a
fine legalistic point. II Russia should
indicate a willingness to come into
the organization now, it would be
up to the delegates to decide whether
she had lost her place by failing to
ratify before the original deadline
or whether she could now or later
diSplace India.
Russia's quota to the fund and
bank would total $4,000 900 900 as
against $500, 900 900, the smallest al
lotment by one Of the top contribu-
tors.
Before the delegates leave here.
perhaps two weeks hence, they also
must choose permanent site for
the fund and bank, establish rules
for the admission of all possible flu
ture members and draw up a set of
bylaws to govern the complex work
ings of the big monetary pools.

Found: One economic mission

not-repeat, not-here to borrow
money.
c. v. Bramsnaes, governor of thu
National Bank of Denmark and chic
of his country's delegation to Inter.
national Monetary Conference open
ing today at Wilmington Island, Ga
told press conference here yester.
day that Denmark already has 6
small loan about $20,000,000) with
the Export-Import Bank for the
purchase of commodities in the
United States-and he admitted thai
there are one or two other matters
regarding Denmark's finances thai
will probably be taken up by mem.
pers of the four-man delegation dur.
ing its stay in this country.
But he caused open-mouthed con.
sternation among reporters by stat
ing quietly: Eve are not going tc
ask for any more money now. We
don't need any more"
why not?" a reporter wanted tc
know.
Well" said Mr. Bramsnaes, 1--WE
do not think we are exactly in good
shape. You know what the Ger
man occupation inevitably does to a
country. But, relatively speaking
we are not so badly off as most
other countries in Europe.
Later, possibly, we will ask for
more. But not now" he added.
The Danish delegation, which
goes to the monetary conference as
observers but which expects that
within few days Denmarks par
ticipation in the international fund
and bank will be formally arranged
will also seek while In the United
States to effect consolidation and
reduction of interest on prewar
loans to Denmark f1oated privately

3o-FOOT SLOTH

In the Pliocene period, there
was "a huge ground sloth, thirty
feet. long,. gigantic armadluos,
horses were still three-tOed but
they have not grown to size
which could carry a man. Some
big peccary creatures, a giant
wolverine animal, mastOdOns
were abundant, camelS and deer,
antelope, rhinoceros, saber-tooth
tigers had arrived, probably from
the west. In the final period, ele-
plants had arrived in great album
dance, horses were now full-Size
tapirs, gigantic armadillos persist
ed, giant camels, giant oX-like or
bisOn-like creatures. There was
an enormous number of teeth
found from this age which indi-
Gated animal life was abundant.
All horses had disappeared from
Florida by the time the Spaniards
had arrived and thus conquista-
dOres had 10 bring their own
Probably caused by some wide
spread epizootic disease which la
ter disappeared.

THREE PREHISTORIC AGES

InlFlorida there were three pre-
historic ages, Miocene, about
thirty million years ago; Pliocene,
twenty million years ago; Pleisto-
cene fifty thousand years ago. In
the first age skeletons of little
threshold horses, giant dog-like
creatures, animals like grizzly
bears, others the size of jackals,
some small camels much like the
vicuns of South America, print
tive ancestral deer with one deer
having a great long SnOut, the
whole skull being more or less
tubular IN shape, almost as pro-
lOnged as in some Of the anteaterS
and really ridiculous looking. OF
birds there was the Rhegminorni-
thidae, related to the present
shore birds, an extinct dove and
something like our present day.
Warblers. There were rhinOceros,
no elephants. the Miocene alliga-
tor probably derived from Oligo-
Gene alligators Of the western
