THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1930 PAGE SEVEN "FOUND IN US, fe First Authentic Similar Find "on 'North American oo he ---- Princeton, N.J.=The first discovery in Aj of eggs of the dinosaur, Fb niet, hae Tom 8 y cats to : { has beén att ar Panton versity. . -eggs were found last Summer near Reg Lace Southern Montana, along. with discovery of another fos- pil sts an answer to one of the podry rol of evolution, why giouauts became S¥unct after popu, ing: ibly .the whole earth an: poe dominating it. The other discovery indicates that they collided with a higher form of intelligence. : Announcement of finding the eggs was "made by Dr. Glenn L. Jepsen director of the Scott Fund Expedi- tion of Princeton University, who unearthed them. This 'is the second authenticated find of dinosaur eggs. The first were | found in Mongolia by Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History. The Mongolian eggs, nearly a foot long, at first were pronounced 10 million years old, an estimate which was raised to 95 mil- lion years last winter after scientists had checked the radio activity of the minerals which turntd them to stone. Describing the Montn work, Dr. Jep- sen said: "A number of broken remains of eggs were found, in fragments not more than ihch in diameter, Their age is estimated at millions of years. "The fragments resemble those found in Mongolia in several particu- lars, both occurring in ely similar geologic formations. e American ones were found in the upper lance formation which was deposited in up- per cretaceous times," The suggestion of the Dinosaurs' fate came from finding the eggs a small tooth of an apparently con- temporary animal, a mammal possi- bly od the Possum family, The early ures exchanged homes and attended the {school of the town which they were visiting. This experiment was so successful that not only was it re- peated this year, but I organized a simildr exchange with Solingen, in in which 26 English boys visited this t German boys spent August in Chat- ham, This competition from.some higher form of intelligence has been a fav. '| orite theory to account for extinction Dinosaurs, but mammals have been largely left out of the picture nce of their beginnings is found mostly in a later age. ENGLISH BOYS SENT 70 GERMAN SCHOOL System 'of Exchange by Which Foreign Pupils go to England London.~The growing import. ance of modern foreign languages, both from the commercla cultural point of view, has given German a popularity greater than it ever enjoyed before the War in this country, and when in 1927 the Catham Junior Technical School was allowed to foreign language into the curricul- um, German was chosen, school the course of study lasts but three years, for boys from the age of 13 to 16, and as that short period in which to attempt to master a foreign tongue, the lan- guage master (viz, myself) cast about for some method of giving his pupils a more intensive course of study than the usual. visit of a Bremen school leader to 1 and the incorporate a At this is but a A change Chatham led the way to an ex- change of letters between one of the Chatham classes and a group of boys in the Realschule-Altstadt of Bremen, ened into the well-known exchange of pupils during the months of June fur July of last year, the chief feat This correspondence rip- of which were that the boys n during April, while the Grammar or Conversation These exchanges were organized rules with their appropriate excep- tions, that would never have risen to life out of the déad pages of the text-book. The success has shown itself in three ways: (1) the pupils understand the correctly spoken English or German of ordinary daily conversation, (2) they are able to ex] themselves in simple phras- es. (8) they can write at great length in the foreign tongue about their visits abroad. Though this linguistic success has been very gratifying, it was noticed in the very first exchange that there were far greater results accruing than mere language-learning, Our English boys were getting to know Germany and Germans at first hand as well as their language. The young people saw in each the hu. 'man being.in the first instance, and almost ignored the accidental fact of their being English or German. It was as if in their attitude they were echoing the words of St. Paul, "there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free." The parents, too, did all in their power to make their young guests feel at home, and many parents on both sides wrote letters to each other expressing thanks for the kindnesses shown to their boys. In a word the experi. ments were something far bigger than mere exchanges of some 40 or B0 boys. They involved whole fam- ilies, and aided by the local Press became known throughout the town and surrounding districts. The numerous invitations and offers of hospitality from firms and private people all served to deepen the good impressions which every boy formed of the land and people among whom he sojourfed. Revised Aversions Boys usually have no prejudices to live down with regard to foreign nations. They are conscious of no past which might poison present opinions. But, owing to war-time propaganda, English parents might have influenced their boys against the Germans and vice versa. One mother told me that the chief rea- son why she did not let her son go to Germany during the first ex- change was that she lost her hus- band in the War, being left with four children, none of whom were over school age. But the similar- ity between the Bremen visitors and her own people had convinced her The boys themselves went about with their eyes wide open, as their diaries reveal, The English lads courageously noted everything that med superior in Germany, They praised G n cleanliness and or- ganiziug powers, They envied the German . boys their ently equipped schools. They commented on their excellent tram services. They were struck by the splendour of German public buildings and by the absence of slums. Much they had to criticize. Most boys did not think highly of their police; They felt somehow the schools lacked that something or other even vouthful i self-reliant. course, have kind words for the third class rallway carriages or for German roads; and there were dif- ficulties with the food. Unlike and Like The people themselves the Eng- lish boys appreciated very. highly. Some boys who had previously the idea that everything foreign must be different from us, otherwise it would not be foreign, were amazed at the countless similarities between Englishmen and Germans, Others were struck more by the difference, but all realized that Germany was a country worth living in, and that Germans had their great comtribue tion to make to the sum of Europ- ean civilization, No boy discovered that the Germans were a military nation; they noted that they were euergetic enough and that they wer clever at foreign languages, bu they saw that these talents were put to ordinary péaceful uses. First- hand knowledge of a foreign nation is the best antidote to that fear which is the cause of all war, and it is a good philosophy that teaches that knowledge is the worst foe of evil, LANCTOT COMPLETES 25 YEARS' SERVICE Quebec. ~Twenty-five years of not. able service as Assistant Attorney- General of Quebec and a total of for- ty years in responsible positions in the provincial civil service brought a warm tribute of admiration and esteem to Charles Lanctot, K.C,, late- ly: when, headed by Premier Tasch- DOMINIONS LINK WITH BRITISH ARMY Canada Has 8 Infantry and 17 Cavalry Units Allied London, --The growing number of alliances between regiments of the British army and units in the Domin- fons proves that the comradeship in arms which was cemented in the Great War is being continued in days of peace, Historic 'British regments whose records go back through cen turies of fighting are being linked with fegiments whose careers are, perforce, shorter, but whose battle honors prove them to have won fame on fields from Villiers Bretonneux to Gara, and from Ypres to South Af. rica. / The system, peculiar to the dfiili- tary fotces of the Empire, originated a few years after the South Afircan War, Certain Dominion regiments desired to maintain and strengthen the friendships struck wp with the British units in camp and perpetuat- ed under fire. The proposal secur- ed official sanction, and each alliance is now approved by the iKng. Al- ready, in adition to the general link. ing of the Artillery of the Domin- ions, with the Royal Regiment of Ar- "tillery, and of the Royal Engineers, Royal Corps of Signals, and depart- mental corps with their opposite numbers overseas, nearly 160 cavalry and infantry regiments all over the world are allied with British regi- ments, Canada has 58 of her infantry battalions and 17 cavalry units allied with Britain. Australia has 30 bat- talions of infantry and 10 light horse regiments allied, as are six of New Zealand's light horse formations and 17 of her infantry, and five mounted units and 10 of foot from South Af- rica, and Rhodesia. Volunteers in Bermuda, Ceylon and Hong-kong al- so have their alliances. Bases for Alliance Reasons for alliances vary, Some are based upon service together dur- ing war or peace. Others depend up- on' similarity of title. For instance, The Northumberland Fusiliers are allied with the Northumberland Regi- ment of Canada, and The Highland Light Infantry ywith the H.L.I. of Canada, The 35th Battalion Austra. lian Iofantry, is also linked with the "Fighting Fifth," on the ground that its headquarters are at Newcastle, N. S.W.--a slight departure, but reason- able enough. Similarity of title allies The iKng's Royal Rifle Corps and The Rifle Brigade with several Dom- inion regiments. The K.R.R., by the way, has niore alliances than British British regiments, with seven links in Canada, all rifle regiments, and one cach in South Africa, Rhodesia and Australia. = Similarity of status ap- plies in one notable instance--the al- liance of the Governor - General's Foot Guards of Canada, the only Canadian regiment with the status of Foot Guards, with the Coldstream Guards, The uniform, in this in- stance, ics almost identical. So far as Australia is concerned, the numbering of her light horse regiments and infantgy battalions has been adopted as the chief basis of alliance. The 14th Battalion, Aus- tralian Infantry, is by this means, for example, linked with The West Yorkshire Regiment--the old 14th Foot, The 26th Battalion finds its alliance with The Cameronions (Scottish Rihes), which, it might be pointed out, is the only regiment to have an alliance with a unit in each of the four principal Dominions. Kandahar to Tasmania A notable example of how old as- sociations may influence an alliance is found in the link between the Aus- tralian 22nd Light Horse Regiment and the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, The honorary colonel of the 22nd is Colonel C. St. Clair Cameron, who commanded 'the first Tasmanian con- tingent sent to South Africa, and al- so the Commonwealth troops at the Coronation of King Edward. As he had served with the 9th Lancers dur. ing Lord Roberts' march to Kanda- har, it was fitting that his career should be commemorated by allying his Tasmanian corps with his orig- inal regiment, The latest list of Australian al- liances contains another cxample of the sentimental bond. Sir Ian Ham- ilton was invited to become colonel of the 5th Battalion, Australian In- fantry, apd in accepting, urged that it should become allied with The Gordon Highlanders, of which he is already colonel, Now the 5th has been found to have other links with the Gordons, It was originally raised in Melbourne as a kilted battalion, with the title of the Victorian Scot- tish Regiment, which gives on orig- inal similarity of uniform, although in these matter-of-fact days its kilts and scarlet tunics are but a memory. But the alliances do not stop at Jleasant sentiment, Regiments do a certain amount of welfare work for cach other's former members when opportunity offers, and anniversaries provide a proof friendship by an ex- change of gifts and geetings. British regiments, which all possess maga- zines, are glad to print photographs and accounts of the activities of their brother-regiments in camp and on other occasions, and most useful of all, visiting officers from allied units sre often entertained and sometimes given opportunities of a short course of training with their British com- rades in arms. KISSING EXPENSIVE IN BRITAIN TODAY London.--XKissing is dying. Many people have long tried to kill the kiss. Women has killed the kiss her- self. She has jibbed at the high cost of kissing! Every time a woman with a per- fectly "made-up" face is kissed the kisser knocks $2.60 off her face value. ; 'My lady" is at the beauty par- lor. "Jules" puts in those expensive permanent waves which last a month for $25. He takes a pair of glittering tweezers and prunes the dainty eye- brows into thin little lines like elge- braie arcs. Another $5. He massages and mud packs the patient's face. Fifteen dollars. He titivates and tints, The face slowly gains the glory of a rose at morning, the clever violet and black brushes of camel hair lend the eyes the depth of forest pools; a little liquid powder, a soupcon of cream, perhaps the electric meedle B'hhb! $5. (Jules owns a stret of houses, but we'll leave it at that.) Now he starts on the lips A jeweller setting a peerless stone is a hodger to Jules starting on the lips. He touches--so lightly--with a tiny scarlet pencil until the mouth becomes a dainty Cupid's bow, fresh tempting. She rests for fifteen minutes, so that her beauty will "set." She has spent $35 and has been in the shop three hours, Outside she is met by her hus- band or her lover. He is amazed overcome by the vision, He clasps Ler fn his arms , , , Smack! 'Gone is Jules' perfect Cupid's bow. It looks damaged. The de- licate rouge on the cheek has smud- ged, a wave of the hair has come loose, the little nose needs powd- eriing! That one kiss has caused $2.50 worth of damage. HUMBLE GENIUS London.--A. BE. Jackman, bus driver of Chiswick, has solved a problem which has puzzled some of the most brilliant men of England.

L. AND M. RAILWAY MARKS CENTENARY London, Eng.=In cofflection with the centenary celebration of the op- Sing of the Liverpool and aMnches- ter ilway an erhibition of prints and books has been on view at the Reference Library in Piccadilly, It gives in pictorial form a fairly com- prehensive idea of the progress rail- ways have made in 100 years, and is by no means devoid of instructive humor. A public railway notice dat- ed September 30, 1830, threatens "immediate dismissal" to "any port. er, guard, engineman, or other ser- vant of the company who accepts any fee or gratuity." COTTAGE FAMILY IN j BRITAIN PLY ART," Londen, Eng. ~~ The picturesque spectacle of the old English lacemak- er plying bobbins at the house door may stil be seen at Compa Cottage, at the foot of Kinver Edge. Here lies a family woh carry on the old art of making pillow lace. When a reporter called at the cot. tage recently work had ceased, but I was invited inside, where the daughter, Mrs, Gréve, gave a demon- stration of her aptitude and skill in the art. While plying the bobbins Mrs. Grove said: "We are an old Bedford. shire family, who have been lacemak- ers for over 200 years. "Grandfather and grandmother be- gan the work at the ages of five and six and mother tried her '"prentice hand" when sevén, and many times she had her fingers rapped because they did not move quickly enough. "Originally dealers came and col. lected the lace, but we were scarcely given value for it in grocery and such-like goods." There were mottoes on the bobbins One, "Prepare to meet thy God," sa. Joired of the Sentiments of Puyritan- ical times. One cou! sily imagine gine it in the hands 7g sedate little maid, sitting "prime and proper" at work.
