America B. C.

on man's first home doea not

ancient American culture presented by
a representative of the American Museum
of Natural History. Digging In
their native soil, anthropologists of
tliATUnited States turn up some of the
moist fascinating puzzles known to students
of prehistoric man. When a
quarry near Folsom, N. M., was examined
the remains of extinct buffalo
were found. Mounds In Kentucky

The Earth'* Thin Cruit
That the crust of the earth is only
10 miles thick, nnd that it must bend
when loaded with ocean water, glacial
ice. or deposits of sand or mud. Is the
opinion of a professor of Harvard university.
The professor advances the
theory that beneath the surface crust,
composed mostly of crystallzod rook,
are 1.800 miles of glassy rock shells, j
which enclose the molten core of iron 1
and nickel. The shifting of weight. !
enused by vast amounts of sediment '
being carried to sea by rivers, is one [
cause of earthquakes, he believes, for |
the earth's crust must adjust Itself '
to the change of weight. Ocean depths,
dry land and mountnlns are also accounted
for by the bending of the
carfh'a crust due to weights.

Crockett's hand to hand fight at the
Alamo where he nut his death m
1.83d, is picturedThat
traffic massacre at the Alamo,
in San Antonio, Texas, occurred just
Six years after Chilean Nitrate was
first used to fertilize Southern crops.
The first shipload of Chilean Nitrate
came to the United States in 1830-104
years ago. It has been used
steadily ever since and has become
almost the back-bone of successful
farming throughout the entire South.
"Davy" Crockett is known for the
facts and fables, of his marksmanship,
for his colorful life, for his many
wilderness exploits. But he was also
a humorist and a philosopher. Someone
once criticized his spelling and his
grammar. That made "Davy" laugh.
"Haw," he answered, "while critics j
were learning their grammar and
their spelling, I and Doctor Jackson,
L. L. D., were fighting in the wars.
We had more important matters to j
attend to than crossin' t's anjJ dottin
i's and such like small things."
Crockett's spectacular death in the
Alamo was exactly the death he desired.
Many years before he died he,
wrote: "Die like a brave man. And I
I know not whether, in the eyes of j
the world, a brilliant death is not pre- ,
ferred to an obscure life of rectitude, j
Most men are remembered as they j
died, and not as they lived. We gaze j
with admiration upon the glories of I
the setting sun, yet scarcely bestow
a passing glance upon the noonday
splendor."
Speculation Caused
By Voting of Smith
Washington, April 2.?Speculation
in a home state newspaper as to
whether Senator Smith (D. S. C.)
would lose his patronage influence,
as a result of his vote last week to
override the President's veto on the
independent offices bilL, today impelled
Smith to a spirited defense of
senatorial independence.
"I repudiate any such insinuation
against the president of the United
States and his cabinet," he said, after
quoting from a newspaper article referring
to. alleged last-minute efforts
of Mr. Roosevelt and members of his
cabinet to hold Democratic senators
in line.
"They have a right to voice their
opinion here," he said, "but they have
no right and have asserted none to
coerce loyal Democrats."
Senator Ashurst (D., Ariz.) assured
Smith he "need have no fear"
of administration reprisal. J
"All our Presidents have been
gentlemen," he said, "and one of the
most exquisite, most nearly perfect
gentleman is the present occupant of
the White House."
"Franklin D. Roosevelt would despise
a senator who voted to sustain
his veto just because he was President."
The South Carolina delegation was
divided on the veto vote, Senator
Byrnes voting to sustain it. As- '
hurst's ballot was cast against 3P&*
taining the President.
