TREMENDOUS TRIFLES 86 By ELMO SCOTT WATSON WILD STEER, ANCIENT CITY IN 1911, an Irlshmnn named Pat Lynch roped a wild steer In northwestern Colorado. The ani mal, crazed by the lasso that was tied to the cowboy's saddle horn, dragged horse and rider over the rim of a great chasm. A sturdy pinon tree grew on the edge of the cliff and the rope caught around this long enough for Lynch to throw himself clear. His horse hung on one end of the lasso and the steer on the other. There they swung like lead toys on a stick. Then, as the rope broke under their com bined weights, they plunged Into the canyon far below. Lynch, miraculously enough, land ed on a narrow shelf. There was no way for him to escape from the smooth walls that rose steep abovo him, and below was the chasm. There was no room to turn around, but he slowly worked his way along the shelf until at last he found a ledge Just below. Slowly, he slid down and fell Into soft sand. All about him were the ruins of ancient cliff houses that no white man had ever seen. The remains of a man-made trail led around a corner of the rock wall and Lynch climbed to safety. He told his story, but at that time the cattlemen were not Inter ested In the crumbling bits of an ancient civilization. In 1933, how ever, a small exploring party went Into the region. The government has now reserved this area as the Yampa Canyon national monument If Pat Lynch had missed his throw, a slumbering canyon might still be waiting for the white me' to discover that ancient city. • • • SPEEDOMETER on It boy!" And the needle on the speedometer climbs up—up—up—fifty—sixty— seventy—eighty miles an hourl It wasn't thus back in 1846 when Brigham Young was leading his Mormon colony across the plains to Utah. Then the wagon trains crawled painfully along and eighty miles was a Journey of days. Somewhere In Nebraska the Mor mon leader pushed on to find the best route, leaving the slower-mov ing wagons behind to follow along the trail which he would mark out for them. One of these parties was In charge of a young fellow named William Clayton. A long road and weary road It was for the westward-faring home seekers. Their goal seemed so far distant and they probably pestered young William Clayton a great deal with their questions of "How far have we come today?" So, being an ingenious young man, he devised a way to answer. He measured a mile on the trail that they traversed one day, then marked a wagon wheel at a certain point on its circumference. Keep ing his eye on the marked spoke he counted its revolutions to the mile. Next he devised a ratchet which moved a cogwheel that registered accurately the distance the caravan traveled daily. That same principle Is used in speedometers today. • • • SLOGANS IP YOU want to be elected Presi dent, get a slogan! Make it short. And If you can include In It the lilt of alliteration—fine! "Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too!" re minded the nation that Gen. Will lam Henry Harrison had won an Important Indian battle at the be ginning of a war which was none too well-filled with land victories for the American arms. So the Indiana frontiersman went to the White House. In "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" was crystallized the dissatisfaction of Americans over a proposed treaty with England, establishing a boundary line In the Oregon coun try. True, we later compromised on the forty-ninth parallel of lati tude, far south of fifty ; four forty, but the slogan had already sent James K. Polk to Washington. Grant's "Let us have peace" has been called "the minimum in ex pressiveness" but it helped elect him President and during the next eight years that phrase had an Ironical sound to the South, suf fering under the Reconstruction regime. "He kept us out of war" helped re-elect Woodrow Wilson In 1916 but within one month after he was Inaugurated we were in the war. "The full dinner pail" appealed to enough Americans to make them elect William McKinley. Later they and their sons wanted to "get back to normalcy" with Warren G. Hard ing and soon thereafter they were willing to "Keep cool with Coo lidge." So . . . "See America First," find out what phrases will tickle the fancy of Its people. Then get a slo gan and go to Washington as Presi dent ! ©. W«atern Newspaper Onion.

MAN'S ANTIQUITY Anthropologists from forty-two na tions, meeting In London at the con gress of Anthropological and Ethno logical Sciences, have been told that the period of man's habitation of the earth Is much longer than previously believed, extending perhaps, to some 16,000,000 years Into antiquity. Sir Grafton Elliot Smith, British anthro pologist, explained that diverse opin ions still prevail regarding the ori gin of civilization, "but we now have evidence to show that, whether It was Egypt, Sumerla, India or else where, it was the work of the Medi terranean race." This fact Is not necessarily Indicative of superior qualities of skill or Initiative on the part of this race, he said, but Is due to "historical circumstances" that Impelled these people "to embark on those pursuits which led Inevitably to the upbuilding of civilization.*' BOYS!
