The fauna from the’Pleistocene, or “Ice,” age—estimated at from 20,000 to 50,000 years ago—is sub stantially the same in the Centinela park area as that found at Rancho La Brea, according to Dr. Clements, in charge of the work. While the latter are better pre served as specimens because of the tar pits which trapped the animals, the new discoveries ’will prove high ly valuable in a scientific way. Dr. Clements stated. “This deposit gives a truer repre sentation of the distribution of the various types of animals than do the tar pits where a higher proportion of carniverous animals such as the saber-toothed tiger were attracted by the trapped mammoths and oth er animals,” the geologist explained. Among the fragments already found at depths of approximately 50 feet below the present ground level are portions of the imperial ele phant. mastadons, a horse about the size of a present-day draft horse, camels, bison, saber-toothed tigers, great ground sloths, tiny deer and many water birds indicating that the area under examination was a river during the Ice age. Also evident from specimens found by the geologists is the fact that the Ice age had a heavy rain fall and abundant vegetation. % biUrtl Leon Blum, former French pre mier, is extremely proud of his newspaper work as dramatic critic. One of Ten Gilbertsville, Ky., is the site for 1 of 10 dams in the Tennessee Valley authority system. Ice Bogs on Peak Rare ice bugs have been found on a Canadian peak, 6.000 feet high. THE EXCAVATOR 96 Bv NANCY RHODES (McClure Syndicate—WNU Service.) WITH grief in his heart the great detective gazed upon the long countenance of his friend Homer. For the edict had gone forth that Homer was to be shot late one evening, or early one morning, in the near future. He had proved himself a blight and a calamity, a disgrace to the mother that bore him. And so the die had been cast. A week was the most that Homer could expect. The great detective had brought all his influ ence to bear, but to no avail. “Reggie McWhortle,” called a feminine voice from the front piaz za, “come in and change your pants. The minister and his wife are com ing to supper. And don’t let that dirty dog in the house again. I don’t know what he has been rolling in, but I suspect the worst.” Homer w'atched Reggie reproach fully as the great detective got the rope. Poor Homer! He had been a great disappointment to the family. When Reggie first took him in trade for 25 cents and four small green snakes, he gave every promise of turning out to be a small beagle hound. As he grew apace it looked as though he might be a cross be tween a St. Bernard and a coach. But when he kept on growing, mama said she knew there had been a cow on his family tree and that Homer was a direct throw-back, whatever that was. Homer was too large to live with conveniently. But the family could have swallowed his size if his habits had been more conservative. The holes that he dug in neighbors’ gar dens were not the holes that an ordi nary dog would have made. They were deep excavations into which you could have throwm a horse and had room enough for a few sheep. Papa and Reggie spent most of their spare time filling up these pits. Then, too, Homer had a strong weakness for vegetable and flower beds. He liked to roll in them, and where Homer once rolled nothing ever lifted its head again. “Put on your white pants,” said Mrs. McWhortle, as the great de tective dragged himself languidly upstairs. Reggie drew on the ac cursed white pants and fiddled around trying on and off his differ ent sets of whiskers until the supper gong sounded. The Rev. Mr. Howard's wife talked and laughed a lot. She seldom said anything, thought the great detec tive, but she made a lot of noise. Perhaps it was to cover up her hus band’s crunching. He was a loud chewer. In a quiet space you could hear him grit his teeth. He even chewed his water a little, but no one asked him to leave the table. The Howards had been at the Howes’ the night before. Reggie wondered if he had smacked his lips up there. The Howes had a lot of money and lived on the top of the hill in a big white house. They awful fussy and full of prunes. See ing Eddie Howe in white pants had got mama started on the idea. Ma ma kind of purred when Mrs. Howe came to call and agreed to every thing, which wasn’t like mama. And papa ran downstairs and brought a bottle with a straw coat when Mr. Howe dropped in, and that wasn’t like papa, either. Reggie and Ho m«s. were the only ones who were quite themselves when the Howes were around. The last time they came Reggie blacked Eddie’s eye and Homer tore the seat out of his white pants. - “They found a secret panel when the men were papering the attic,” said Mrs. Howard, speaking of her visit to the Howes’. “And a little redwood box with an old, old manu script in it. The old paper said that Captain Howe bad buried the family silver, and I don’t know just how much money, in the orchard, six paces from the oldest winesap tree.” The great detective pricked up his ears. Mrs. Howard had said some thing at last. “Are they going to look for it?” asked mama politely, pretending she didn’t hear a thing even though Mr. Howard had started to eat the tough part of his pie crust right in her ear. “They’ve dug everywhere,” an swered Mrs. Howard, “and they haven’t found a thing. Mr. Howe says it’s all poppycock, and won’t al low her to do any more excavating in the orchard. But she’s crazy to find the stuff.” The great detective and Homer started out on their evening stroll with an air of deep melancholy. Un der one arm Reggie had his old pants and his red whiskers. Sub consciously his steps strayed up the hill towards the Howe place. k° USe sa * lik# a shiny white wedding cake on a green lawn dot ted with beds of flaming red fall flowers. Gosh! What Homer wouldn’t do to those flower beds if he ever got in there! Homer loped ahead past some thick green woods that gave off strong piney and firry smells. Next they came to the Howe orchard. Winesaps. The great detective vault ed the fence and walked up and down lines of gnarled apple trees whose crooked limbs groaned un der their load of fruit. A sweet clean apple smell pervaded the air. AU through the orchard were signs of digging under the older trees. The dog pawed the ground ex citedly. Signs of digging and holes always stirred Homer. He clawed and dug like a wild animal. Reggie watched him thoughtfully, a vague plan forming in his mind. He made another survey of the orchard men tally listing the old and dead wine saps. Then be called Homer and set him to work. “Bones,” he said, scratching with a stick w'here he wanted Homer to excavate. And the dirt flew in all directions from under Homer’s feet. After the dog had gone about so far into the earth Reggie filled the hole up. Then they started for another tree. If the great detective had not come down with a feverish sore throat Homer would have met his fate sooner. But Reggie cried and Homer was spared a few days long er. When he was able to get out again they started off for Howe’s or chard, Homer running ahead and barking like a dog who is well pleased w’ith himself. Reggie paused, thunderstruck, al most as soon as he vaulted the or chard fence. Homer waited, bark ing and wagging his tail as he sur veyed his handiwork. During the four days that Reggie had been laid up Homer had been busy digging holes and Howe’s orchard looked like a graveyard after an epidemic. Hole after hole lay before them with mounds of red clay at the brink. “Good night!” said the great de tective, sitting down weakly. Voices came down the road, one angry, the other placating. Mr. Howe and papa came around the corner. Papa had a shovel and Mr. Howe carried a cane that swung threateningly. “I see Homer's been up to his old tricks again,” said papa grimly. “Homer thinks he’s an Egyptolo gist,” added papa to Mr. How r e, try ing to make a joke. But Mr. Howe sputtered angrily. He could not see anything funny about the thing. His orchard was ruined. He had noticed the holes last night and had set a man in the woods to watch, supposing some of the townspeople were looking for the treasure. “And we caught your dog red handed, this afternoon,” he said. Homer’s tail had gradually stopped wagging. His head drooped and he crawled meekly on his stom ach. He rolled over and sat up on his haunches, going through his few clumsy tricks as though he suspect ed he was nearing the end of his rope. They started to fill up the holes, papa and Reggie. Mr. Howe stood around and puffed like the old wind bag he was. “You ought to get rid of that fool dog, McWhortle,” he said. “I intend to,” said papa, wiping the sweat from his face. Suddenly Reggie caught sight of something dark and hard-looking at the bottom of a hole. He leaped in and worked feverishly with his hands. Papa pulled him out and started working around the thing with the shovel and soon the three of them were tugging and puffing in an attempt to lug the box over to Howe’s place. A chisel pried the rusty lid off and Reggie stared curi ously at the buried treasure. Treasure! Old knives and forks and spoons, black with age. Heavy dark coins and old bracelets and pins and things. They called that stuff treasure! If it had been gold and diamonds and rubies there might have been some excuse for old Mrs. Howe hopping around as though a hornet had bit her. “And this dear little boy found it?” she asked, drawing Reggie to her bosom. He pushed her off. She smelled like a drug store. Enough to knock a fella over backwards. “Homer found it,” answered the great detective. “He’s a great ex cavationer. He’s been digging for a week.” “That’s a great dog you’ve got there, McWhortle,” said Mr. Howe, beaming. “Have you ever traced his pedigree?” “I’m going to,” said papa, pat ting Homer on the head proudly. “Mrs. McWhortle and I have al ways thought Homer was a remark able animal.” 4 Relax’ It Good Advice To Women With Jitters To Eliminate a chronic case of jitters and therefore improve our dispositions and preserve our phys ical well-being, some rules for all women—homemakers or business women or those who try to be both— are given here. “Plan for at least two breaks in activity during the day. During each break, just stop doing every thing for five minutes. Don’t talk. Don’t think. Just sit with your head drooping forward toward your knees. Or, better yet, lie down on the floor with your feet propped up on a chair. “Don’t rush to change your clothes for dinner. Allow enough time for a reasonably leisurely bath, a five-minute period of relaxation afterward and application of fresh makeup. You’ll go through any eve ning more gracefully if you let down for only a half an hour before dinner. “When you are sitting alone and don’t have to worry about how your legs and feet look, relax your legs and take tension off hip joints. And do remember to move your head and neck more. The chronic ache in the back of the neck often is due simply to holding the head in the same or almost the same position too much of the time.” JOHN P. M C INERNEY REAL IN estat'k K SERVICE PHONE 6241 NOTARY PUBIJC 96 ELAI ST., CAHALAN HLIHI Waiting Desert Death, Professor Alters Will PASADENA, CALIF. Awaiting death from thirst and exhaustion, Dr. John Elliot Wolff, 83-year-old professor emeritus of geology at Harvard university, calmly revised his will as he sat in his automobile stranded in the Mojave desert, where later his body was found. W T hile funeral services were being held here, it became known he left a codicil to his will in the car pock et. The document substituted the name of a gardener for that of a previous employee, since deceased, to whom he left a small bequest. It was written on the back of an in vitation to last June’s Harvard com mencement. To make sure it would not be overlooked, he wrote on a napkin which he pasted on the windshield of his car: “Last words of John E. Wolff, his will below.” His body was found five days after he set out on a desert geological expedition. Dr. Wolff several years ago gave the bulk of his estate to Harvard. Herbert P.
