PARK TO BE UNIQUE
LATEST ATTRACTION PLANNED
FOR CITY OF L08 ANGELE8.
Site of One of the Oldest Graveyards
Known, Dating From the Pleisto
cene Period Deathtrap
for Animals.
No other city in the United States
can equal Log Angeles, Cal., In Its
unique type of public park, made pos
sible by the deeding recently by Q. Al
lan Hancock of a tract of 32 acres of
land at the city's western edge In the
famous La Brea asphalt beds. The
thing which makes this tract, hereafter
to be known ns Hancock park, unique,
Is the fact that It Is probably one of
(he oldest graveyards of which any
thing is known, for It dates back to
the Pleistocene period. The tract, lo
cated close to some of the best oil wells
In the Southwest, has been the sources
of both oil and tisphultum, ond it was
In pits from which the latter was
taken that bones of prehistoric mon
sters were found.
At first these bones were not. deemed
of any great value, those finding them
having an Idea that they were of ani
mals of recent years. It was not until
someone of a scientific turn of mind
noticed thut they were too large to be
long to any modern animal, that the
starch for more bones gradually
crowded the production of asphalt to
the side, until, today, there have been
made o hundred excnvutlons within
the tract, many of which hnve yielded
rich finds of well-preserved bones.
From the bones and teeth which
have boon found, scientists have re
stored the skeletons of niuny varieties
of animals, great and small, which
lived many thousands of years ago.
It is believed thut this Is the only pluco
nnd only Instance where the fauna
of one period and one region have been
preserved and handed down Intact
If nil the Pleistocene remains In nil,
the museums of the world were to be
brought together, the quantity would
have to be multiplied by 50 In order to
approximate the amount nlreudy taken
from the Lu Brea beds, and the eud Is
seemingly far off. Scientists who have
studied the pits and the composition of
their surroundings advance the theory
that the tar beds were In reality death
traps for the birds and animals which
wandered through the section. Even
today the visitor will see small pools
of liquid asphalt which have oozed
from the enrth, nnd often will see
ground squirrels, rabbits, hens and
birds of various kinds which have been
Caught by foot or wing In the sticky
tar, dying where caught, and gradually
sinking deeper Into the usphiiltuin euch
day as the sun warms the pools.
In the wonderful museum In Exposi
tion purk In Loi Angeles huve been as
sembled types of the unlmnls which
once roamed the region, whoso bones
huve been taken from the La Breu pits,
and theso Include mastodons, Imperial
elephants, saber-toothed tigers, envo
bears, giant sloths, horses, lions and
mammoth birds that lived and died
1B0.OD0 to 200,000 years ago. Besides
Ihe mounted specimens, the store rooms
of the museum contain some 8,000
boxes of unassorted bones, which will
Inter find their places In tot restored
skeletons.
It Is planned by the county nuthorl
tleH, to whom the tract has been deed
ed, to have set up about the pnrk
gigantic groups of statuary depleting
the animals of the Pleistocene era.
The nsphaltuiu tins served to preserve
the bones In a wonderfully perfect
state, making their study n matter of
greater ease. It Is probable that It will
take a year or more to develop the
park ns planned, but the supervisors
have voted 1)125,000 as an Initial appro
priation for the work. Hancock pnrli
will, when fully developed, become one
of the most Interesting placet In the

"Profession I
By John Elkim
(Copyright, 1917, by W. G. Chapman.)
Cedric Shaw was Intently watching
the girl across the room. Sometimes
the swaying dancers In the hotel ball
room came between him and her; but
always his gaze went back persistently
to the bright animated face of a young
woman who stood talking with an elder
ly lady. The first thing that had at
tracted hlin was the absence of the
painted lips nnd cheeks, which he saw
on almost all of the young girls pres
ent. Next to take his attention was
the protty dancing gown, which unlike
the others covered her back, and came
above the shoulders all around In a be
coming line.
The young man could not have been
called old-fashioned or "straight laced,"
but a certain fine respect for woman
hood which had been carefully Instilled
In hlra by his mother, felt a kind of re
pulsion at the artificially covered faces,
and the too scantily covered forms of
the girls he met In society everywhere.
He felt that this girl must be differ
ent, and as he watched her face his
conviction grew. He determined to
know her, and started out to see If he
could find someone to Introduce him.
Finally he accomplished his object,
and soon found himself guiding Miss
Burt through the mazes of the dancers.
Yes, decidedly Miss Burt was "differ
ent." It was not long before Shaw's
heart begun to give curious but un
mlstukable evidences of being consid
erably off Its normal condition.
He managed to get an Invitation to
call, which was not exactly difficult
lnce Miss Burt was quite as anxious
that he should ask as he was to get the
permission. If the truth must be told
she was nt the same time experiencing
Bcttnething like the same alarming
symptoms the young man was suffer
ing. She had not analyzed her reasons
"He Lights a Bit of Paper So' He Can
Look Better."
for being attracted; she simply knew
that she was. As these things are hap
pening every second among mortals on
this globe It seems a waste of time to
Inquire why.
Elva Burt lived alone In a "furnished
room" In the big city. The bed mas
queraded us a couch during the day,
and n screen covered the stationary
wnshstnnd. Sho mado It look like a
sitting room, and the house was clean
and respectable, If not fashionable.
Still she felt a slight qualm at receiv
ing the stranger In her humble quar
ters ti. He seemed to her like a man
used to good society, one used to
mingling with cultured people In re
fined surroundings. In this supposition
she was right. The mother of Cedric
Shnw had belonged to a family of high
social stunillng, und his father had
been president of a college. When a
lad of twelve, his father had died,
leaving a moderate fortune to the wife
nnd son, aud nt elghteeu, Cedric had
started In to earn his own living. He
had done so well that at twenty-five he
wus now a Junior purtuer In the con
cern. Blvn, on the evening Show was to
call, put on her most becoming frock
nnd sat down to wait for him.
"Oh, dear!" she said to herself, "It
Isn't very scrumptuous," surveying the
room. "But If he's what I think he Is,
ho won't mind. If he does well "
The sentence ended In a sigh.
It did not appear, from the animated
conversation and the length of Shaw's
call that he did "mind." The next day
ho wrote a note of apology for having
stayed so late, and asked when he
might come again.
Even after Stiaw hud become n fre
quent visitor and hud several times
taken Elvn to dine and to places of
ninusement he knew little or nothing
of her circumstances. She hnd told
him her pnreuts lived In a small village
In the stales, und with the exception of
a few friends, she was alone in the city,
and was earning her own living. As to
how she was earning It she had not In
formed htm, and hud evasively put htm
on when he had nsked. He concluded
that perhaps she might hnve a little
foolish pride about revealing her occu
pation, and said no more.
The suite of offices occupied by his
firm were in a building which hnd
been remodeled from a dwelling house.
Next to It stood n residence which the
inarch of business up the avenue hnd
so far left undisturbed, and It was
now rented out for bachelor apart
ments. One morning the papers hnd an Item
on the front pngo tolling how Spray,
Oalland A Co., diamond importers, had
been robbed of valuable gems by the
blowing open of n safe. This was
Shaw's firm, and that evening he told

Elvn they were entirely mystified as to
how the burglars had entered.
was a watchman on the outside
couia not nave laiieu to see tnem
the front, and the roof and back of the
building showed not" the slightest trace
of any forcible entrance.
About two days after this, Shaw, In
passing the house next his office, saw
a young man hastily coming down the
front steps. Something about him
caused Shaw to stare curiously at the
man. Instantly the man turned away
to avoid his scrutiny, and almost
stumbled down the remaining steps
Shaw purposely stood in his way, and
as the young man dodged him, caught
at Ids arm.
"Elva Burt!" he exclaimed. "What
does this mean?"
"Let me go!" she begged. "Let me
go quickly 1"
"But" he began.
"Don't keep, me herel' she urged.
And, freeing herself from his grasp,
she harried on, hailed a taxi, and hnd
vanished before Cedric Shaw could
quite collect his scattered senses.
He went to his desk In a dazed state
of ralnd. No woman except a laundress
or scrubwoman was ever seen coming
out of this house. For the girl whose
delicate womanliness had first of all
appealed to him to be seen In such
guise, and coming out of bachelor
apartments, was a shock from which It
was not easy to recover. He had given
her the deepest devotion, the love of
his life, and he had meant to tell her
this. The blow staggered him. He
meant to see her again, and at least
try to wring from her an explanation,
but he felt he could not go that day.
Late In the afternoon the telephone
rang, the senior partner took the mes
sage, and when he had hung up the
receiver he culled the heads of the firm
together and told them. It was from
police headquarters; they had made
nn Important arrest two men from
the house next door. Shaw felt his
heart stop beating, and things running
before his eyes. What If one of these
men was Blva Burt? What If he had
to face her In the prisoner's dock? A
detective was now on the way up, and
they wished someone to remain, and
go with him to the cellar. Investiga
tion revealed a tunnel from the house
next door, through which the thieves
had crawled, and which they must
have worked, digging for some time.
The police hnd not yet discovered the
gems, but they believed they had got
the right men, the Janitor and a young
follow. A "young fellow." Shaw shud
dered at confronting him. They went
down to headquarters. The "young fel
low" was short, stumpy, nnd red-haired,
and both men protested their Innocence.
'Well," announced the chief, "this
wns about the neatest bit of detective
work you'd pull oft In a month of Sun
days. The finding of that hole In the
cellar was a Jim dandy. You see, the
detective pretends to go In there to
Inquire about rooms, and all of a sud
den he sniffs something, and he yells
out to the janitor he smells fire, and
It's coming from the cellar. The min
ute the man unlocks that cellar door,
he's down there ahead of him, and nos
ing around to beat the band. He lights
a bit of paper so's he can look better,
puts It out, and sniffs a burnt smell
somewhere. But he's got what he came
for, the Bight of a hole, and bricks and
dirt behind a box, and he hasn't let on
to the janitor he's seen n thing out of
the common, nnd he's awful sorry he
gave him such a scare. He finds out
there's only a terribly high-priced
apartment to rent, nnd Is awful Borry
again, It being too much for his purse,
and he gets out, and down here
quicker'n lightning. And the two fel
lows are Jailed In just about one hour
from that time."
Here one of the partners asked If he
might see the detective. The chief said
he supposed he might that Is, If he
happened to be In.
He went to a door, opened It, looked
in, and beckoned to someone. A neat
ly dressed young woman appeared in
the doorway. Shaw gasped.
"Miss Burt," nsked the chief, "do you
know where Sanderson 1b?"
She gave him an Inquiring look, then
she suddenly saw Shaw's eyes upon
her. Official caution vanished before
the questioning of his gaze.
Tho older men, rushing up to her,
grasped her hand, expressing their
thanks and the desire to make It some
thing more substantial than thanks,
Then Shaw said, ns he took her hand :
"Miss Burt Is a very dear friend ol
mine but I never knew 'Sanderson.' "
Then he drew her nslde ns the othei
men talked, und added: "I wanted to
say something more than 'friend' may
I?"
Hor look prompted him to add r "And
you'll never be 'Snnderson' again."

KEEP YOUR BREEDING STOCK
Because of Increased Demand and
High Prices for Feed Hens, Sows
and Cows Are Sold.
Don't sell off your breeding stock be
cause of high prices of feed and the
demand for live stock. Large num
bers of hens, brood sows and milch
cows are being sold. Already there
Is a scarcity of poultry In the country,
and In some dairy sections there has
been a marked decrease In the number
of milch cows.
There are two sides to this business.
Milk dealers and contractors In their
effort to hold trade and placate their
customers have refused to pay farmers
a price for milk which would leave
them a profit. As a consequence,
many farmers have fonnd that their
cows are worth more dead than alive.
They have been forced to sell the cows
because they could not continue In the
business which was running them
deeper In debt each month.
Advancing prices for meat, milk,
dairy and poultry products will bring a
profit 'over the high cost of feed and
labor, and the farmer who has kept a
good stock of breeding animals Is
pretty sure to receive handsome re
turn.
LABOR IS LIMITING FACTOR
Horses Are Relatively Plentiful In
Comparison and Use of More
Is Strongly Used.
Labor Is the limiting factor In crop
production this year. Horses are rela
tively plentiful In comparison. 0. B,
Johnson of the department of farm
management of the Missouri College
of Agriculture, suggests that farmers
lay aside one-man and two-horse tools
and use those that require more
horses so that more work per man
can be done. One man with three
horses to a 18-Inch breaking plow will
turn over three acres or less In a day.
The same man with a gang plow con
sisting of two 12-Inch bottoms will
average 4 acres a day and will use
one more horse. This means that by
Increasing the horse stock one-third,
one man can Increase his efficiency in
breaking ground nearly 75 per cent.
Investigations have actually shown
that a man on a riding Implement will
do more work In a day than the same
Splendid Farm Team.
man and the same team with Imple
ments that require him to walk. The
use of bigger tools and thorough prep
aration of seed beds will also cut
down the time required for cultivation
of the corn crop. Cultivation is the
operation which limits the amount of
corn one man can grow. If a good
seed bed Is prepared, some time can
be saved In cultivating the crop, and
consequently more acres can be
grown.
KILL PLANT LICE OR APHIDS
Application of Soap Solution Will
Prove Efficient Must Hit
Insect With Force.
Plant lice or aphlds can be killed
on golden glow, sweet peas, rose,
buckthorn, plums or any plant by ap
plications of soap solution. This is
perfectly safe to use, and leaves no
bad odor, and a few applications ap
parently are sufficient to rid a plant of
Its unpleasant parasite.
Dissolve a 5-cent cake of white Boap
In five or six gallons of hot water, and
apply forcibly with a spray-pump when
lukewarm. The insects must be hit
with force. Occasionally bending over
the twigs and Immersing the affected
leaves, shaking them back and forth
in the liquid, Is more ' effective than
spraying. Directing a stream of wa
ter from a garden hose against plant
lice colonies Is of some help, if the
water strikes them with force.
WHEN TO CUT SWEET CLOVER
Work Should Be Done When Plant Is
About Three Feet High, to Avoid
Woodiness In Stalks.
Sweet clover should be cut when It
la about two to three feet high, In
order to avoid woodiness In the
stalks. If the plants have begun to
stool out, cutting should not be de
layed a day longer than necessary.
The crop should be cut from three
to four Inches from the ground In
order to prevent Injury to the plants.
As sweet clover hay cures more slow
ly than does alfalfa, care must be
taken In handling so as not to shatter
the leaves. The leaves are the most
valuable part of the hay.
PLAN AGAINST HOG CHOLERA
Best Way to Prevent Spread of Dis
ease Is to Keep Qerms Away
From Healthy Animal.
The best way to prevent hog cholera
Is to keep the germs away from the
hog. If hogs on a neighboring farm
are sick, keep away from them and
don't let anybody from the Infected
farm go near an uninfected hog pen,
or upon the ground frequented by
healthy hogs.
Feed for Brood Sow.
Be careful how you feed sows that
have little pigs. If too heavy a feed is
given, it may lead to sickness In the
Pigs-
Place for Cows Only.
It Is desirable that the place where
the cows are kept be used for no other
purpose.
WOULD MAINTAIN
SCHOOL STANDARD
Government Bureau Urges That
Efficiency Be Kept Up Dur
ing the War.
SECOND T8 DEFENSE NEEDS
Salaries of Teachers Should Not Be
Lowered, It is Urged, Although
Costly Building May Be
Postponed.
Officials of Uncle Sam's bureau of
education strongly contend that It is of
the utmost Importance that there shall
be no lowering In the efficiency of the
nation's systems of education because
of the war. They believe that schools
and other agencies of education must
be maintained at whatever necessary
cost and against all hurtful Interfer
ence with their regular work, except
as may be necessary for the national
defense, which la, of course, the Im
mediate task and must be kept con
stantly in mind, and have right of way
everywhere and at all times. From
the beginning of our participation In
the war, they point out, we should
avoid the mistakes which some other
countries have made to their hurt and
which they are now trying to correct.
Bight In this connection It Is pointed
out that if the war should be long and
severe, there will be great need In Its
later days for young men and women
of scientific knowledge, training and
skill; and tt may then be much more
difficult than it Is now to support our
schools, to spare our children and
youth for other service and to permit
them to attend school. Therefore,
Contend Uncle Sam's educational ex
perts, no school should close Its doors
now or shorten Its term unnecessarily.
All young men and women In college
should remain and use their time to
the very best advantage, except such
as may find it necessary to leave for
immediate profitable employment In
some productive occupation or for the
acceptance of some position In some
branch of the military service, which
position cannot be so well filled by any
One else. All children in the elemen
tary schools, and, as nearly as possi
ble, all high school pupils should re
main In school through the entire ses
sion. Trained Men and .Women Needed.
This question of the war and educa
tion has been taken up seriously by ex
perts of the bureau. They point out
farther In this connection that when
the war Is over, whether within a few
months or after many years, there will
be such demands upon this country for
men and women of scientific knowl
edge, technical skill nnd general cul
ture as have never before come to any
country. This country must play a far
more Important part than It has In the
past In agriculture, manufacturing and
commerce, and also In the things of
cultural life art, literature, music, sci
entific discovery.
A right conception of patriotism
should Induce all students, say the
bureau officials, who cannot render
some Immediate service of great value
to remain In college, concentrate their
energy on their college work, and thus
be all the more ready and fit when
their services may be needed either for
war or for the important work of re
construction and development In our
own and other countries when the war
shall have ended.
Should Not Cut Salaries.
All schools dt whatever grade should
remain open with their full quota of
officers and teachers. The salaries of
teachers should not be lowered, It is
contended, In this time of unusual high
cost of living. When possible, salaries
should be increased in proportion to
the services rendered. Since the peo
ple of the country will be taxed heav
ily by the federal government for the
payment of the expenses of the war,
It is urged by the officials that teachers
should be willing to continue to do
their work, and do It as well as they
can ns a patriotic duty, even If their
salaries cannot now be Increased.
Schools should be continued In full
efficiency, but In most cases costly
building may be postponed.
During school hours and out of
school, on mornings, afternoons, Sat
urdays and during vacation all older
chlldrcu and youth should be encour
aged and directed to do ns much use
ful productive work, It is urged by
these experts, as they can without in
terfering with their more Important
school duties. This productive work
should be so directed as to give it the
highest possible value, both economic

HORSES MUST "DO THEIR BIT"
Only Those Used Exclusively for Trade
and Business Purposes to Get
Grain In England.
niustrntive of the radical steps now
being taken to conserve grain In Eng
land Is an official explanation of the
order rationing horses, received at the
office or Herbert Hoover, Uncle Sam's
food administrator. The horses of
King George are now being rationed
under the terms of the order.
The object of rationing Is officially
explained as a means to Increase the
quantity of oats available for human
consumption by restricting their use as
a feed for horses.
By the terms of the order, the feed
ing of grain to horses kept for private
purposes Is prohibited, and Its use Is
confined to horses used exclusively for
trade and business purposes.
Under existing circumstances no
person 1 justified in keeping any
horse that is beyond serviceable age.
It Is pointed out that even In the case
of trade horses, the feeding of any
kind of grain Is not a necessity where
the work done Is slow and not of an
arduous character. Heavy penalties

SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, say
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is Inexpensive and 1 said not
to Irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle tor you
from his wholesale drug house. It Is
fine stuff and acta like a charm every
time.
