L ROGERS AND HIS 1920 CENSUS THINNING Samuel Rogers, the man who Is taking the 11)20 census, seems to be. doing well by his country. every day or two he yets on the first page with some figures which show that apparently every city In the United States has grown substantially since the 1010 census was taken. Chicago, for example, has apparently about 238S.0U0 Inhabitants; an Increase of about 82 per cent. On tkla allowing It Is probably the third city of the world, with only London and New York ahead of It. &lr. Rogers also announces that Dayton, O., has now a population of 158,830, an Increase of 81.1 ier cent. Dayton ranked as fifth Ohio city and forty-thircity of the country In population In 1010, with 11(1577 people, an increase of 36.8 per cent over 1000. Syracuse, N.

Tlie length from none to tip of tall is 20 feet, and Air all hla slim and elegant proportions he pmlwlily weighed In life several times as much as any Hon or tiger. Dr. W. D., Matthew, curator of the museum's department of vertebrate paleontology, says that, fortunately for us, perhaps, the Deinodon waa not one of the beasts our prehistoric ancestors had to contend with. They had cave-lloand hyenas and wolves and not to mention mamgreat moths and innstodnnn and woolly rhinoceroses; those were quite enough. If they had had a lot of carnivorous dinosaurs into the bargain, they might have been wiped out altogether. But the dinosaurs had all become extinct long before the time of the prehistoric cave men. Th Deinodon lived during the Cretaceons period of tlie age of reptiles some sixty odd millions of years ago, If we may roly on the calculation! based on the alteration of minerals. At that time, onr very, very remote ancestors were little opossum-llk- e furry creatures, living In trees and quite too small and Inconspicuous to he troubled by the huge reptiles who In those days held the earth In fee. But In revenge of this dlsdnln, It has been suggested, our little opossum ancestors may have bellied to bring about the extinction of the great dlnnsaurl-a- n aristocracy by sucking their eggs. This skeleton was found three years ago liy Charles II. Sternberg, In the great canyon of the Red Deer river In Alberto. The canyon, 800 feet deep d and mnrglned by steep walls and gullies. Is the richest repository for dinosaur skeletons that has yet been discovered. It cals through the heart of the flneat wheat district of the Canadian West, and the mlllng prairie with Its waving fields of grain nlmve, contrasts picturesquely with the swiftly flowing river far below at the bottom of Its deep trench, ratling through the midst of this great cemetery of creatures of tho long ago. But In Delnndon's time, the country was very different, both In and dlinntc. A broad interior sea, which had once stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic ocean, was gradually sliullowlng and filling swampy up with marshes, forests and nnvnnnnhs In which the Deinodon and oilier giant reptiles lived.

He Is present the Mexican ambassador to As near as the riddle of Mexican presidential politics can be solved he appears to be backed by President Carranza. Also the charge that Bonillas Is not a citlsen of Mexico, and therefore la not eligible either to be a presidential candidate or to continue as ambassador, continues to crop out. The charge appears to have originated with Salvador Alvarado. El Ileraldo, the Mexican paper ariaed from Captain Hudson, Its English owner, last year by Alvarado, makes the charge. Investigation of the charge on this side of the border Is said to show that Bonillas was born in Arisons near Tucson, and taught school In and near Nogales, Arts., for a number of years. Best obtainable Information on American soil la that he had not, until he returned to Mexico, at the beginning of the Carranza revolution, changed his citizenship. at the United States. c HELEN SCOTT HAY, RED "CROSS NURSE Miss Helen Scott Hay of Savanna, the Red Cross commission to the Balkans, has been appointed chief nurse of the American Red Cross commission to IIL, formerly chief nurse of BuropSk Miss Hay, a graduate, and later superintendent of nurses of the Illinois Training School for Nurses, Chicago, began her Red Cross service In September, 1914, whm ahe was placed In charge of 126 Red Cross nurses who sailed on the relief ship "Red Cross for active duty In Europe, Miss Hay waa decorated In 1915 by the Russian government with the gold cross of Saint Anne.
