The find has been added to the botany collection at the university. The fossilized seed pod is tulip-shaped, black in color and about 2.j incite long.

A species of coal age riant life which preceded the relatively sudden later appearance of the flowering plants, its discovery is considered or some importance since such finds of evolutionary links between the two type plants are exceedingly rare.

BONES OF MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT MAMMAL FOUND COPENHAGEN The skeleton of a remarkable monster has been found by the Danish arctic expedition under Dr. Lauge Koch, which has just returned from East Greenland. The discovery was made by M.

Stau-ber. the Swiss geologist attached to the expedition. The bones were lying in the mountain district wet Jameson Land, in the neighborhood or Scoresby Sound. The skeleton is well preserved. Tl evidently is that of a mammal and is of the same period as the dinosaur, the prehistoric reptile.

Remains of dinosaurs have been found widely distributed over both the eld and the new world from Mongolia to Patagonia. The present discovery may throw fresh light on the emergence of mammals and the vague border-line between mammals and reptiles. The skeleton will be placed In the Copenhagen Museum.

SOVIET PICTURES SOON TO IMPROVE MOSCOW A determined effort Is being made to lift Soviet Russia's film industry out. of the doldrums. A committee of five has been appointee to put tho Soviet studios into shapw to tur out "pictures worthy of the Stalin era." Writing in Izvestia.

Chairman S. Dukelsky of the new committee, reveals considerable damage was don-by "wreckers" in the film administration before their machinations coulfl be exposed. These obstructionists "talked of producing hundreds of motion pictures annually," says Dukelsky, "but actually between 30 and 35 pictures year were produced. In the period between 1935 and 1937 about 100 pictures were scrapped as waste production." The new deal in Soviet films will emphasize three general themes: l. The heroic struggle of the Communist party before, during and after the revolution.

2. Great episodes in Ru3 sian history "showing the struggle of the Russian people egainst interior and exterior enemies." 3. The romance and significance of the Stak-hanovite movement (in which workers strive for new individual records of Production). using streets, side walks and public conveyances. Because of these disagreeable ex periences, public sentiment has been aroused to the point where an initia tive proposition has been placed on the state ballot as a result of petitions signed by thousands of citizens In every walk of life.

That the proposition has a strong probability of adop tion is indicated by the success of a similar measure in the city of Los Angeles a few weeks ago. The measure was placed on the ballot and voted on in the same election as that in which the city's mayor was re called. It carried by a very comfortable majority while another proposi tion sponsored by organized labor was easily defeated. The Los Angeles ordinance prohib its picketing "calculated or with the intent to threaten, intimidate, coerce or put in fear any person who is entering, occupying, or leaving any place of business." No picketing is permitted unless a bona fide strike is in progress at the place of business. Pickets must be selected by the majority of "the bona fide employees" of the establishment from among their own number.

Each picket must carry a written statement certifying that he has been properly chosen. Only one picket is permitted for each entrance and they must be stationed at least twenty-five feet apart. Strict limitations are placed on arm bands and banners. Pickets are prohibited from using indecent, profane or threatening language or from mak-ing "anv loud or unusual noise." Persons and their relatives are protected against threats, coercion or intimidation not only when entering or leaving a picketed establishment but also when carrying goods to or from it It an employer has more than one establishment only the one or ones in which an actual strike is taking place can be picketed. A fine up to $500 or Imprisonment up to six months may be imposed for each violation.

This ordinance is drastic in its provisions. Had public feeling not been aroused it could not have been adopted. author, care this newspaper) Yoo and Your Nation's.

ICellams AUTO CO. (lyrn FAST SAFE DEPENDABLE ECONOMICAL BE SAFE AND SAVE S3 ZXXM Aimed at Picketing By ERIK McKINLEY ERIKSSON Professor of History, University of Southern California m) i In recent weeks a great deal of attention has been given throughout the country- to the so-called "Ham and Egg" or $30 Every Th'irsday pension proposal on which Califor-nians will pass judgment in the November election. This fantastic scheme which violates the laws of sound economics at almost every point has created the impression that California is a state populated by "crackpots" and visionaries. The fact that several hundred thousand of its citizens signed a petition to place the measure on the ballot offers some ground for ois impression but it is probable that the election result will show that the majority of the people of the "Golden State" have not lost their good sense and judgment. The interest in the pension plan has caused many people to lose sight of the fact that there are other propositions being submitted to a referen dum of California's voters, some of which are certainly not of the "crack pot" variety.

For example, there is the proposition to regulate picketing on a uniform state-w7ide basis. Many Califormans have become thoroughly disgusted with the abuses which have developed in connection with labor disputes. They have seen mass picketing used as a cover for violence; they have witnessed the coercion of employers; they have observed workers forced to give up their work though no strike has been sanctioned by the majority of the employ ees in their place of employment; thev have heard of goon squads go ins about and doing physical harm to workers who do not obey the in structions of the labor leaders; and thev have, as members of the commu nity, been prevented from freely (Address to the TWA AND IT WILL 1) tLS 3 RE IN THE PAPER IUCS IN SUP WITH tOUl reus itm CO MW lf 1 Read The Courier For All The News The first belle (tummy out) wears a cunning dress with shirred bodice of silk, hand-made, from pattern, directions in the November Pictorial Revue, and her timid friend wears a puffed sleeved dimity. little Jim wears a helmet, leggings and a coat and Jane wears coat, bonnet, and leggings all made by their mamma as easy as anything from pat-Ufa direction in the November Pictorial Review..
