Report by Army Air Service Says
Americans Excel in Speed
Records, Etc.
Washington. ? The army air service
in a report just issued here claims
that the United States, which was so
backward in aeronautics in the peril
ous World war days, has taken the
lead over the rest of the world within
the last year in development of the
airplane motor and other phases of
aircraft construction.
The air service declares that this
superiority is demonstrated primarily
by the fact that Americans have taken
practically all the world's-airplune rec
ords during the last ten months.
Credit for improvements along tech
nical lines which have made possible
this record is given to the air service
engineering division at McCook tield,
Dayton, O., the bureau of at an. lards
and the national advisory committee
for aeronautics. 1
Vast Improvement Made.
The long list of records attained by
army pilots have been achieved, the
report states, because of the greatly
increased efficiency of the new planes
and engines. This Increased efficiency,
it is claimed, is the result of the com
bined efforts of private manufacturers
and the engineering division in experi
mentation and research work.
In airplane design great progress
has been made along the line of pro
ducing more efficient wings as well as
greater structural strength. The study
of the substitution of various metals
and aUoys for former construction ma
terials has been exhaustive, with the
resnlt that a better grade of duralu
min Is being produced in America now
than in any other country of the
world. i
Liberty Motor Triumph.
To the improvement of the war
time Liberty engine is attributed the
success of the transcontinental flight.
Such a performance reflects to the
credit of the engine with which the
airplane was equipped, because a more

s 10 Million
Years Old Found
Nest Made by Dinosaur Discov
ered in Mongolia by Members
of American Expedition.
I'ekin. ? Dinosaurs, the colossal rep
j tile creatures of a prehistoric era,
laid eggs live to six inches long. The>
had nests jike any gentle domestic fowl
of today.
The early mammalian beasts of Asia
nnd America were kin and roamed
across the two continents on t lie land
bridge that joined them in those re
mote times.
These are some of the discoveries an
nounced by the third Asiatic expedi
tion of the America* Museum of Natur
al History on its return here after tive
months on the Mongolian plains.
Nine Tons of Fossils.
The party was in Peking recently
with what its members termed the
largest find of the remains of prehis
toric animals in the history of paleon
tology. Nine tons of fossils have been
collected and will be shipped ito Amer
j lea.
One of the leaders of the expedition,
Henry Fairfield Osborn, the paleontolo
gist, said the fossil beds found lu
Mongolia were the largest known to
science. For the tlrst time, he ex
plained, explorers hud at their disposal
terrestrial deposits of enormous extent,
still preserved in their pristine gran
deur, thus enabling the reconstruction
of much of the life in the middle period
of the reptilian age.
The adventurers of science returned
with the opinion that they had proved
the Mongolian plateau to have been the
j center of dispersion of the most an
cient animals traced.
j Dr. Osborn and Hoy Chapman An
drews, the naturalist, consider a spec
tacular feature of their discoveries the
twenty-five fossilized dinosaur eggs
which they found in several nests in se
dimentary strata among the skeletons
of medlum-aized dinosaurs of a species
known as protucerators andrewsis.
These are the first dinosaur eggs to be
revealed to science, according to mem
bers of the expedition, who said that
hitherto 'it had not been known that
the dinosaur laid eggs. The eggs are
elliptical, five to six inches in length,
their shells now covered with a buff
colored coating. Their age is estimated
at 10.000.000 years.
The explorers brought out seventy
two skulls and twelve complete skele
tons of these "terrible lizards," as the
two Greek words forming the term
dinosaur describe them. The dinosaur
nests were situated at longtitude 102
east, latitude 44 north.
The expedition also found numerous
remains of mammals, principally of a
giant rhinoceros-like beast, which is
said to prove kinship among the ear
liest fauna of Asia and America. The
scientists explained that a ln*d bridge
joined the continents in those dim yes
terdays.
The party traveled in motor cars.
Former Soldiers Study
Everything but Warfare
Sacramento, Cal.? How conditions
hnve changed.
Six years ago hundreds of thousands
of men sought to Increase their profi
ciency In the science of warfare But
not so In 1923.
Fight hundred ex-service men began
school training this fall, according to
K. R. Caughey. educational super
visor of the state veterans' welfare
board. Virtually every known trade or
profession has Its quota of applicants
except study In warfare. Not one of
the 800 has applied for entrance to a
college of military training.
Thirty of the World war veterans
who seek educational rehabilitation
throughout the state expect to become
ministers of the gospel, said Caughey,
while 100 will train for dentists, thirty
for physicians, 100 for lawyers, fifteen
for artists, five for newspapermen and
scores for teachers.
Heirs to Sue for Lots
Valued at $75,000,000
Lexington, Ivy. ? Final arrangements
for filing suit against present occu
pants of property In the heart of New
York valued at more than $75,000,000,
will be made by heirs of Robert Ed
wards at a meeting to be held here,
It was decided by more than 100 heirs
who gathered in a hotel here. It Is
claimed Robert Edwards owned 77
acres of land in what Is now in the
Fifth ward of Manhattan borough, but
that he died intestate during the Rev

pired the property was sold.
The Edwards heirs scattered about
Kentucky and Ohio, have been Inves

FOSSIL CHANGES IDEAS
OF BOTANICAL HISTORY
4* .
Search Rewarded by Important
Geological Find.
Chicago. ? Discovery of the stem of/
? plant similar to that of a corn stalk
in a lump of limestone found Imbed
ded in a coal seam in Illinois ? has
changed hitherto accepted Ideas of
plant evolution and pushed the mys
tery of the origin of flowering plants
millions of years further back into the
geological past. Prof. A. C. Noe, paleo
botanist for the University of Chicago, |
unearthed the revolutionary evidence
after a systematic search.
The strata from which he obtained
the limestone lump, or "coal ball,"
was identified as belonging to the rar
boniferous. or great coal, age of the
Paleozoic era, the next to the ordest
of the four greet geological time divi
sions whVh contain the fossil record
of the past IK** on the earth. He
classified the fossH stem as that of
an angiosperm, or a flowering plant
which hud its seed inclosed In a <*eed
container, as are the seeds of our ap
ple, rose and oak.
No flowering plants of this sort have
heretofore been proved to have grown
so far hack as this period of ancient
geological times. The specimens pre
viously reported of land plants With
such highly organized structure have
been found in parts of the earth's
crust formed during the Mesozolc era.
or geological middle ages, millions of
years nearer to the present time.
Botanists have assumed from Ruch
evidence that the flowering plants had
just begun to appear about the latter
part of the age when the plants that
J form our coal flourished. They have
expected to find . the more primitive
/lowering plants at this earlier tiniM.
Professor Noe's discovery in the coat
*tm?a*tires of a plant representing what ;
/
had been taken to be a far advanced
stage In plant evolution indicates that
land plnnts must have gone through
an enormously long period of develop
ment before the earliest period
recorded In the fossil rocks.

FARM
LIVESTOCK
Young Cocklebur Plants
. Are Poisonous to Stock
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The cocklebur, variously thought to
have been; troublesome only as a weed
and because of its stiffly armed burs,
has been demonstrated definitely to l>e
poisonous of live stock in the early
stages of its growth, as was reported
by othei* observers. The report on
this demonstration is made by C. D.
Marsh, G. C. Roe, and A. B. Clawson
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, and the results published
in department circular 283, Live-Stock
Poisoning by Cocklebur. Only the
very young plants, before leaves have
formed, produce poisoning, and the
dose which produces sickness or death
is about pounds to a 100-pound
animal. This means that young pigs
up to 50 pounds in weight, which have
been found the most susceptible, are
poisoned by 12 ounces or less of the
small cocklebur plants. Cattle or
sheep also may be poisoned If they eat
enough of the plants In proportion to'
their weight.
Little can be said so far about med
ical treatment for this kind of poison
ing. Feeding of whole milk was found
to prevent pigs feeding on the cockle
bur plants from being poisoned. Salt
ed bacon grease, lard, and raw lin
seed oil also gave good results. The
best method, says the circular, is to
keep pigs off pastures infested with j
cockleburs until the plants are large
enough to be harmless; or to kill out
the plants by mowing them before j
they seed: It must be remembered In
this connection that each bur contains
two seeds and that ordinarily only one
of them will grow the first year after
ripening, consequently it is not pos
sible to kill out a patch of the plants
the first year.
Copies of the circular may be ob
tained from the Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C., as long as
the supply lasts.
Easy to Lead Sheep If
You Know Proper Method
Most sheep lead well If properly
handled, old shepherds say. Fa en the
stubborn, fine-wool breeds will come
along If they are started right. No
real shepherd tries to drag a sheep
by the neck or wool. From the sheep's
left side he guides it, with his left arm
around its neck, tickling the base of
the tail with his right hand. The
sheep moves ? sometimes faster than
Is expected ? but It moves.
In catching a sheep, too, there 1b a
right way to hold the strongest ram,
and a wrong one; the wrong one may
let him go and will cause a bruise that
takes two months to heal. Wise shep
herds know that the skin is only light
ly attached to the flesh, and that hold
ing by the wool tears this tender skin
loose from the flesh even farther than
the hand's grip; the resulting bruise
not only Is painful to the sheep, but
damages the carcass for market until
It heals.
The best of practical tips that old
shepherds pass among themselves
make up a large part of the corre
spondence course In sheep and wool
production recently Included In the ex
tension service of the state agricul
tural college at Ithaca.
The course is free, the only re
quirements being residence In New
York state and a chance to work with
sheep while taking it.
Hogs Get Little Benefit
From Undigested Grain
Some people argue that hogs will get
the benefit from unmoistened and un
digested grain which passes through
animals. It would appear that this
lcic is no better than to contend that
the threshing machine needs no special
adjusting because, after all, the flock
of hens will get the grain which passes
out the wind stacker. Everyone knows
Ithat when grain becomes wet and al
lowed to become stale, In case of hogs
following stock, the quality of the
grain for feeding Is much reduced.
It Is true that calves several months
old do not masticate their feed thor
oughly, thus grinding oats and corn
will be profitable.
Mineral Mixtures Quite
Necessary for Hog Herd
Swine growers who are puzzled
about mineral mixtures will find their
questions answered In the following
formulas which Include the essential
ingredients combined in the right pro
portions. A careful survey of experi
mental work with minerals suggests
the following mixtures:
Four parts acid phosphate, or two
parts rock phosphate, or one part
bone meal with four parts ground
limestone, or six parts unleached
wood ashes, or one part air-slacked or
hydrated lime with one part salt.
Pigs Fed Standing Corn .
Will Do Little Rooting
Pigs fed standing corn with all the
tankage that they would eat did no
rooting. The pigs fed com, only, did
the most rooting. Pigs fed four-tenths
pound per day of tankage with access
to a third crop alfalfa did a small j
amount of rooting. Each lot also re- j
ceived coal and salt. The above re
sults were secured In experiments
conducted by Prof. J. H. Shepperd at
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege experiment station.

he was allowed to return to Portugal.
Before 1700, 38 editions af the "Luslad"
