McIntyre, the columnist, is au- thority for the story that Miss Helen Lee Doherty receives $100,000 a year “pin money” from her step-father, Henry L. Doherty, while acting as aid to Madam minister Ruth Bryan Owen in Denmark. That's more than 2,600,000 krone or almost a8 much as the king receives, and look at the difference in the jobs, SUPREME TEST AHEAD Events are moving swiftly to the time when President Roosevelt and the “new |*® deal” will be put to the supreme test, and the people generally hope the outcome may be favorable to the administration and to the country. But the powers granted the President by Congress and the program undertaken are so vast as to almost stagger the ima- gination. These involve nothing less than government control of all business and in- dustry, including agriculture. They em- brace such a radical departure from for- constitute a social revolution if the powers granted to governmental agencies are ac- tually used to their full extent. In view of this, itis natural that many thoughtful persons look upon this vast pro- gram with some misgivings, although they see the necessity for a change in the con- | ditions which have prevailed. So far business and industry general- ly have shown a disposition to cooperate with the administration in evolving a so- lution of the pressing problems which ex- ist. But such radical changes in the na- tional] set-up as are proposed can hardly be made overnight without working addition- al hardships on many individuals and busi- ness units. The arbitrary fixing of hours of la- bor, wages and prices of commodities is an experiment of the most far-reaching na- ture. If carried out as planned, competi- tion in its ordinary sense will be virtually. eliminated. No one positively knows how it will work out. | But we shall soon see. A PREHISTORIC MONSTER After being buried for ages in the fos- sil beds of northeastern Utah, the largest skeleton ever discovered on land now stands in the Carnegie museum at Pitts- burgh a striking example of the monsters which roamed the earth during the Age of Reptiles, many millions of years ago. This skeleton is that of a Brontosaurus, of the dinosaur order of reptiles, 100 feet long and 20 feet high. In life the animal weighed perhaps 20 tons. Alongside of it an elephant would seem as small rela- tively as a dog beside a horse. The fossil bed from which it was taken is the most extensive deposit of dinosaur- ian and other reptilian remains ever dis- covered. It was found in 1919, and the site is under the protection of the National Park Service. More than 200 tons of bones and other material of scientific value have been removed for study and_ exhibition, with very little duplication of specimens. According to a statement by the Park Service, it is the belief of scientists that these prehistoric animals were originally imbedded in a said bar in some ancient river. This sand turned to sandstone and was covered by thousands of feet of other strata of rocks, the whole later being forc- ed into an upright position by a great vol- eanic upheaval, which left the fossil bed expe i on a mountain top. Through the patient labors of scientists who are continually exploring among such records preserved in the rocks, as well as among the ruins of ancient civilization, sal- ient facts in the world’s history which were totally unknown a few years ago are being brought to light. LONG PUBLIC SERVICE Of all the men who have served in Congress since the beginning of our govern- ment, Joseph G. Cannon, “Uncle Joe,” of Illinois, holds the longest record, 46 years, all of which was in the House of Represen- tatives, although his service was not con- tinuous, Justin S. Morrill of Vermont had the longest continuous record in Congress, a} little less than 44 years, divided between | sexton the House and Senate. Por total service in the Senate, that of Francis. E. Warren of Wyoming was the longest, more than 37 years. But for the longest continuous Senate record Wil- liam B. Allison of Iowa achieved the dis- tinction with more than 35 years of unin- lft was deckled to tite the pay terrupted service to his credit. Noné of these records are even closely |i™* te sbitity approached by the present members of | girferent capacities either branch of Congress, and it is likely that they will all stand for a good many years to come. . : . } rican ideas and practices as_ to! | | ;Men” proved a great success at .
