SAN FRANCISCO, December 5.— Discovery of a second specimen of the Baluchistherium, a long-extinct mammal which roamed the Mon- golian desert two milllon years ago, was announced here by J. B. Sha- kleford of the American Museum of Natural History, who arrived from the orfent on the steamer President Pierce. Shakleford eaid the skele- ton of the prehistoric animal was on its way to the United States to be set up in the museum for study. The cxpedition was in Mongolia five months. According to the scientist, the skel- etons of the Gobl desert in Mongolia are the richest find for paleontolo- sists for a long time. Many speci- mens of prehistoric animals arc to be found there, he declared. ; [IF E“MR_GAN'ZE Baluchistherium POLICE 100 PER CENT. Red Cross Report Shows Every Man Enrolled. One hundred per cent strong was the report of Maj. Daniel Sullivan, superintendent of police, in the mat- of police membership in the American Red Cross. Yesterday the superintendent received from Mrs. John Allan Dougherty, manager of _the local division of the organization, a letter of appreciation, which reads: “I desire to extend to you and to the entire police department the grateful appreciation of the Wash- ington division of the Red Cross for the splendid co-operation given in the annual membership roll call. “Thero is not another police de- partment in the United States that can make such a showing nor come anywhere near 100 per cent, and ¥ need not assure you that it is no more than 1 expected from your splendid body of men.” Nearly one-third of all the war widows of England have remarried. i .

The two days in which school has been In progress following the holiday lull has demonstrated that this is a real problem. With the wildfire growth which the “shifters” enjoy- ed some months ago. this new hap- hazard and distinctly lively and en- thusiastic league of young people is haling_fresh recruits to its ranks every hour. They continue without an official name, but the teachers have charac- { terized them. They have no apparent! | rules other than the time-honored one of annoying teacher. To qualify as a member the pupil must have an elas- tic band, a supply of metal paper clips and a sure aim. And this latter qualification has not prevented the 1 girls being admitted. From time immemorial school pu- pils have winged teacher now and then with & bent pin or piece of well wetted paper. This is. of course, as routine as whispering or throwing notes. But officlals say that never in the history of education has the inz things grown ¢ exist in Store Hours—S8 to 6 Console Table _ With mirror. In mahogany fin- ish.

Teachers in every school in the five boroughs compliain to the sehool authorities that the stinging little missiles bombard them from all d! rections. “Shooting_clips” has be- come positively epidemic, and all efforts to stamp out the practice seem to b only increased it. In ! this repspect the Junior Ku Klux resembles its older but scarcely bolder brotherhood. { City_schools are sadly overcrowd- ed. This condition aids in the dis- order. Since so large a percentage of puplls are on part-ti v only a part-time awe for teacher's authority. Teachers themselves ad- mit that the deference usually felt by the pupil for the instructor under whom he spends five full days each s conspi absent. More- assrooms crowded that maintaining discipline is almost im- possible, as the teacher Is unable to watch all of the children. { For these reasons and because i Youth grows more mischievous an unruly when elders half admit their inabllity to enforce commands, the shooters are progressing as mer- v and deflantly as shifters, flappers r the juvenile cigarette smoker. { Thus it happens that while Mayor H, ilan has ordered Police Commisioner Enright 1o root out the Ku Klux. Superintendent of Schools Willia L. Ettinger, has ordered his teache to root out the disturbing element in the schools. Teacher Wants Policeman. That the school superintendent re- alizes the seriousness of the Situa- {tion is shown by the fact that he ordered all of hisdistrict superinten: ents to see that the clipshooting stopped if it means calling the police into every school in the greater city. Under these orders If the teacher finds she cannot cope with the dis- order she either may call the police- man in from his beat or send to the station house for those she needs to | . put down this general clipshooting. | But while the idea of calling in the police seems to have made !omethmg[ of a hit with teacher, it did not arouse hearty cheers when it was mentloned at police headquarters. “Oh. of course, if a policeman is called he will have to go.” said one ot the captains on duty there. “but when he gets there what is he go- ing to do?” That was about the general pos tion of every one who had heard what Superintendent Ettinger wanted. ‘It there was considerable of a riot { among the Kids it would be possible i for the officer sent for to arrest sor {of them.for malicious mischief,” an- | other one of Enright's henchmen ex- iplained. “He might. maybe, make a Charge of disorderly conduct stick. But he would have to take them oft ! to the Juvenile Court. And to call a { cop simply because a kid cannot help Shooting a clip at the teacher when She can't see him—well, seems to me this ought to be up to the teacher. What Next for “Cops”? «Yes, I know conditions are bad or the teacher would not think of calling a cop. But what 1 want to ask is this: Where are a policeman’s duti going to end if such things keep up? Tie has to watch automobiles and booze runners and burglars and fires and floods and male flirts; stop runa- Way horses when there are any in these days of jov riders, see that push cart peddlers have a license and help old women across the street—and now they want him to help to teach school. A hired man, that's what a cop is nowadays.” It was suggested that, possibly, the mere sight of an cfficer in uniform would work as it does when he heaves in sight as a craps game is in prog- > henchman snorted.
