Show THE OGDEN BONES MOUNTED OF BISON 3-T- ON World's Largest Assembled By Scientists At Museum BERKELEY Calif (UP) — After two years" work University of California scientists have completed assembling the fossil- - head and horns of what is believed to be the world's largest bison The great skull which has a spread of 13 feet along the head and horn curvature was found upside down in a sand pit in the Fall River Valley Shasta county on Christmas day 1933 by' Bumett Day a rancher at McArthur in the -- same county The find proved a sensation Schools were closed that children might see the specimen Woodsmen who assisted university scientists in removing the specimen were sure' it was the remains of the fabled "Blue Ox" of the Paul Bun-ya- n legends CALLED BIGGEST OS EARTH The university men however headed by V LVander Hoof decided it was merely what was left of the biggest and heaviest bison ever to roam the earth They estimated tco that it did its roaming between 50000 and 100-0years aeo in the Pliocene age Weignt of the animal was estimated at 3000 pounds The skull was so large that Van-d- er Hoof had to remove the horns before he could get the specimen in his automobile It was brought to the University of California and two years spent in study and assembly of the fossil HAD HIGH HUMP BONE An interesting feature of the bison was a high hump bone about two and a half feet long: which also was recovered from the sand pit Some time later some fossil teeth Rnd lower jaws were found on Mount Diablo Although they fit th° skull fairly well scientists are convinced they are remnants of another bison a slightly smaller one The Paul Bunyan legend of the Blue Ox revived by the fossil discovery had to do with a Gulliver -like creation that roamed the north woods pushing over trees as if they were matchwood and even shoving aside mountains at will s 00 -- Conspirators Jailed For Hospital Plot UKIAH Calif Dec 21— (AP) — frustrated plot to free 300 crim inally insane patients at Mendocino state hospital sent the four alleged Quentin prisconspirators- to San 1 on today Dr R A Cushman superintendent of the hospital said Seward Hollinghead Martin burglar Flynn robber Harry Dunlap suspected killer and Frederico Garico robber planned to slug guards and steal cell keys paving the way for "insurrection" A Holland has been chosen for the fifth Boy Scouts world jamboree in 1937' TodciY and Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann-Manage- History HAS been said that not even ITomnipotence can alter the past cer- But since men do not possess tain knowledge of the past they are forever rewriting their histories They are rewritten in each country for each generation: they are rewritten by the advocates of policies in the course of every great debate There is in all this some desire to know the truth But much of it Is actuated by the wish to prove a case The more fierce the issues of the present the more passionately do men quarrel about the past For about eighty years the Marxian Socialists have been propounding their own version of human history: it is a history which proves to their own satisfaction that the whole course of affairs leads directly and inevitably to the triumph of socialism The Italian Fascists not to be outdone have a most elaborate history of their own which proves among other things that they should and that they will conquer Ethiopia The Nazis also roll their own Given time their professors will prove that the universe was created and that mankind has labored to insure the triumph of Hitler Here at home the battle for the control of the past is being waged on several points It is not so fierce as the European battle because the American social diseases are to those of central and eastern Europe about as "the chicken-po- x is to smallpox or a cold in the" head to a severe pneumonia Nevertheless the struggle to the past is waged with considerable heat There is for example the argument about the constitution in which strangely enough the Democrats find themselves expounding the views of Alexander Hamilton and their Republican opponents the views of James Madison There is- the argument about why America went to war in 1917 And then there is the argument between Mr Roosevelt and Mr Hoover about the ' causes of the panic of 1933 -- ln-terp- ret - The ostensible question which Mr Roosevelt and Mr Hoover are discussing is whether the closing of the banks should be blamed on the Hoover or on the Roosevelt administration Mr Roosevelt contended in his Atlanta speech that "the mechanics of civilization came to a dead stop on March 3 1933" and Mr Hoover at St Lou--i- s the other day replied that that al "was the and the most unnecessary ' bank panic in our history" and that it was due entirely to public fear of the New Deal Now' In themselves these recriminations- are understandable' but not important Mr Roosevelt would of course like to prove that he eured the panic that Mr Hoover produced and Mr Hoover would like to prove the opposite But what really matters is whether either of them has a clear idea of what happened clear enough to most-politic- entitle the country to feel tha in a similar situation the same disaster would be prevented For it is evident that something very wrong portant went radically of 1932 6gP at your table Mr Hoover's explanation is a very curious one He argues that the recovery in the early summer of 1932 was stopped by fear of the New Deal that the Maine election in September and the landslide of November frightened the country and destroyed confidence: The logic of this claim is hard to see For it is a well known fact that the first effect of Mrs Roosevelt's advent to power was to restore confidence and to put an end to the run on the banks It could Just as well be argued therefore that Mr Roosevelt restored the public confidence which had been destroyed under Mr Hoover But either view is a very unsat- isfactory interpretation The trouble with both of them is that they assume that what happened was the result of how people felt whereas it Is much more likely that people felt as they did because of what happened We shall have learned very little I believe if we let ourselves think that the panic and the revival were due merely to the personalities of Mr Hoover and Mr Roosevelt It seems to me evident that much bigger things played the decisive role Let us begin for example with Mr Hoover's claim that the recovery of the summer of 1932 was stopped by fear of the New Deal Do the facts bear him out? Take prices The figures show that the prices of farm products started downward again in August 1932 a month before the Maine election had Indicated a Roosevelt landslide They went down steadily and disastrously through that autumn The general commodity index sank steadily from August-Septemb- er All the evidence seems to me to point to the fact that the little boom in the midsummer of 1932 reached its peak in August and that thereafter the deflation was resumed Now what happened in August to arrest the boom? It seems to me that two great events happened One was that the federal reserve system lost courage and reversed the cheap money policy that had worked so well to stave off disaster in the spring of 1932 The other was that the pound sterling took a nose dive beginning about the middle of July and carried down with it the prices of our exportable farm products and raw materials The reversal of federal reserve policy put the screws on the banks: the wretchedly low British exchange (the pound was $314 on December 3) put the screws on the American price level The country was violently deflated bv the eomhinM effect of a hard money policy at 5595 6 i&B Midnight mass will be celebrated Catholic church in St Joseph Christmas eve Low masses on Christmas day- will be celebrated at seven eight and ten-th- ir o'clock The Rev Patrick F Ken ty will be the celebrant of the nedy midnight service Admission will be by ticket which may be obtained at Cushnahan Memorial hall this afternoon from two to lour o'clock and at McBride's store Monday Confession will be heard for chil dren on Tuesday before Christmas from ten a m to twelve a mj for women from three to p m end orf men from seven-thirt- y to - six-thir- ty in relation to the pound sterling All of this has an important bearing on the present because we are now confronted with an insistent demand that the federal five-thir- ty reserve system should again turn toward a hard money policy This issue is technical Those who wish to see a powerful argument against it should read the letter by Mr S Parker Gilbert of the firm of J P Morgan & Co published in "The New York Times" of Wednesday Mr Gilbert is himself an authority of the first order in these matters and the record of his firm on questions of monetary policy since 1931 has been extraordinarily f arseeing and has been repeatedly vindicated by events Mr Gilbert does not point out though he might have that the agitation for immediate action to raise the reserve requirements began with men who only last May were saying that the federal reserve board ought not to have the power to raise reserve requirements But he does show it seems to me conclusively that though there is the theoretical possibility of credit inflation in fact the country is still deflated He shows too that these excess reserves are largely the result of gold imports from Europe that this gold may go back to Europe and that the excess reserves will protect the country when that happens He contends too that to reverse the cheap money policy at a moment like this might very well arrest the recovery now under way and that it is a poor policy to do the wrong thing now because of fear of what might happen in the That was done in with disastrous results The mistake should not be repeated simply because we do not trust ourselves to stop a credit inflation if and when it begins No sane man denies the potential danger of credit inflation 1932 p DESCRIBES MASS The following statement from St deJoseph's parish house gives of of the the mid origin scription night mass and the background of the observance of Christmas: "The midnight mass Is as old as Christmas "and Christmas is as old as Christ This midnight Offering is one of the three masses of Christmas day which are offered to commemorate the three-fol- d birth of Christ: vi2: His eternal birth in the bosom of His father His birth Into time when' His mother wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger His risen birth when triumphant over death He came forth from the tomb all radiant and never to die again ten-thir- mm?
