LONDON, May 16.—Every one who likes dogs will be glad to hear that the University of Chicago is sending an expedition 10,000 miles to search the southeastern tip of Africa for a hound with some of the characteristics of a lizard; or, putting it another way, a reptile that is almost a dachshund. His pedigree goes back beyond the memory of man, but the lizard-like hound ‘never will' be entered in a dog show; for Prof. A, 8. Romer and his technical assoclate, Paul C. Miller, do not hope to find thelr quarry cavorting on the veldt or chasing fleas in the shade of a South African tree. Fossil for Quite a While. ‘This creature, half way between the lizard and the dog on the ladder of evolution, has been a fossil for some- thing like 100,000,000 years, and what the University of Chicago men expect to collect is his fossil remains. It is all a part of the university into the origin of mamm rm- blooded, hairy creatures who nurse their young. Some fossil fragments of a mammal- like reptile, the cynognathus (literally “dog-jaw”) have been unearthed in the Karroo Desert of South Africa, and it is this region, first called to the atten- tion of paleontologists by Robert Broom, former Glasgow physician now practic- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON.

Miller's value to the expedition Nes in his extraordinary skill in recovering fossils from the hard rock in which they usually are found. He was a cow=- boy in Wyoming when a group of scientists found him 20 years ago and started him on his present career. Since the Karroo Desert, is topograph- ically similar to some sections of Wyoming, Miller will hunt the cynog- nathus and related creatures in ter- ritory that will remind him of his cow-punching days. Scientists are not certain about the size of the creatures, but think some of them may have been about the size of a dachshund. They probably lived on a diet of insects and laid eggs. o GIRL INSTRUCTS PARENTS Pupil Informs Elders' How to Please Young. BRADFORD, Va.

TRAIN STOP URGED FOR TAKOMA PARK Delegation Visits B. & 0. Official. Hears Silver Spring Is Preferred. A delegation of residents of Takoma Park held a conference with C. W. Gal- loway, vice president in charge of oper- ations and maintenance of the Balti- more & Ohio Rallroad, at his office in Baltimore with & view to securing a stop for east and west bound trains at Tako- ma Park. - H. H. Votaw, representing the Seventh Day Adventists’ Association, acted as spokesman for the delegation and pointed out the advantages this service would render to the travelers to and from Takoma Park. He told of the growth of the suburb and the close proximity of ths Takoma Park station to Walter Reed Hospital, the Bliss Elec- trical School and the Seventh Day Ad- ventist schools, colleges and sanitarium. At_the present time travelers are com- }':Jelled to go into the city to Union Sta- on. Vice President Galloway informed the committee that the matter was not under consideration, but that when it did come up, the station would not be in Takoma Park. If the matter was left to him personally, he said, he would be inclined to favor a station at Silver Spring. He pointed out that the rail- road was confronted with a seven-tenth | per cent grade on the tracks at Takoma | Park, which made it practically im- | possible to stop and start trains. In addition to Mr. Votaw, others comprising the delegation were Eldér AT LAST... a blended two-base motor oil OME motor oils are made from paraffine base oil, others from naphthene.
