Therefore it may be Secret of Politics said with full assurance that these: Campaigns are not won by the elephants roamed about Chicago only winner. They are lost by the loser. a few thousand years ago." â€"The Country Home. the mastodon or mammoth were ever hunted, or that they were known to any race of primitive man about Chiâ€" cago. "One eminent authority believes that the mastodon lived in North America after the coming of the American Indian, and that the red man doubtless had a hand in extermâ€" inating them. . This conclusion is largely based on apparent probalities. nobody knows when the first Indians came to the Chicago region, or how long they lived here. They had among them so far as is known, no traditions of these animals, _ They left no implements in America carâ€" ved of mastodon or mammoth bones or ivory, such as are found in ‘the old world." They left no carvings or picture writings of these animals such as decorate the caveâ€"dwellings of primitive man in western Europe. Therefore we have no evidence that It is believed that the ice sheet fiâ€" nally disappeared from the "Wisconâ€" sin area" (including the site of Chiâ€" cago) some twenty thousand years ago, according to Prof. Riggs. The bones of mastodons and mammoths are found in bogs and small lakes melted away, he says. Mastodon and which were formed after the ice had mammoth bones now in Field Museum which were excavated near Minooka, Illinois, came from gravels around a spring left there by the melting glaâ€" cial ice, The animals had apparently come there for a drink, become mired in the bog around the spring, and unable to extricate themselves had sunk to their deaths at its bottom. "A mastodon skull which the muâ€" seum obtained at. Yorkville, Ilinois, came from black muck only 18 inches below the surface, which would indiâ€" cate that a comparatively short length of time, geologically speaking, had elapsed for the remains of the animal to be covered to that depth," says Prof. Riggs. "So, from this and many other evidences, it seems to be a safe conclusion that mastodons and mammoths lived in the Chicago area as late as ten thousand years ago. "How long is it since mastodons and mammoths lived in and around what is now Chicago?" is a question often asked of the geologists at Field Museum of Natural History. "Only about ten thousand years," is the estimate ventured by Prof. Elâ€" mer S. Riggs, associate curator of paleontogolgy. Scientists Believe Not More 10.-i 000 Years Since; Bones Found Studied | MASTODONS ONCE ROAMED ILLINOIS THE PRESS Despite the temporary letâ€"down in building operations throughout the nation, Chicago will have completed or under construction 500 skyscrapers of 10 stories or more by the end of 1930, according to the Chicago Assoâ€" ciation of Commerce. In the past 10 years, a survey by the association shows building costâ€" ing $500,000 or more each have been erected in the downtown area at a total cost of more than £500,000,000. Of the structures in this group, eight have cost more than" $10,000,000 each. With several other big buildings beâ€" ing planned for construction between now und the World‘s Fair of 1983, it is expected that construction in Chiâ€" cago‘s downtown area in the next three years will equal that of the past decade. A tabulation of Chicago‘s present tall buildings shows 391 of 10 to 20 stories each and 67 of more than 20 stories. Free Ambulance Service Closter, N. J.â€"Wyckoff post 83 of the American Legion, consisting of 45 members, is furnishing free amâ€" bulance service, having purchased a beautiful ambulance, fully equipped, with funds raised by popular sub scription. The members act as drivâ€" ers, the telephone company having a list on hand for immediate call. Chicago Will Have 500 Skyscrapers Before Long Complete . facilities for baseball; tennis, dancing, picnicking, golfing and many other diversions are ofâ€" fered at this playground which will be open to the general public at all times. The tract consists of 10 acres. While the field is already ideal for outings of all kinds the plan of deâ€" velopment is to be furthered within the next year or two, future improveâ€" ments to depend upon the desires of those who frequent the park. The tract is to be known as Counâ€" tryside Playfield and is located mcross the road from the entrance to the Countryside Golf club, one of the finest 18â€"hole public fee courses in the county. The buildings. of the model farm are located a short distance south of the playfield. These buildings which are examples of the most modern conâ€" struction and equipment of farm structures, are open to the inspection of the public at all times and are visited daily by persons from all parts of the middle west. Transportation to the Countryside ;‘;: playfield is afforded both by the North the Shore railroad and the Metropolitan ubts system corches, while autoists will the find paved roads leading to the farm boy* from all directions. © TWb Development of a recreation center which promises in time to become one of the most popular playgrounds for young and old in Lake county has been completed by the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois at its model farm near Mundelein. Public Service Co. ‘Plans Playgrounds at Its Model Farm Suzanne Traub captured the duck in the girl‘s event, while Pete Grimson obtained the fast swimming fowl in the boy‘s race. ‘The duck, in the boy‘s race, caused an unexpected turn of events when he dove just as Frits Kaumanns was reaching for it As it came up Grimson happened to be standing on the spot and picked it out of the water. E. E. Paulsen and R. C. VanBlariâ€" con, teaming together in the horseâ€" shoe tournament, beat out their nearâ€" est competitors by a score of 21â€"14. The canoe tilting proved to be an exâ€" citing event. . Dick Hammond and Bob Carr, working together, withâ€" stood all contenders and came out unscathed and victorious, They were nearly upset several times, but manâ€" aged to keep their balance. Notable Exhibition The exhibition by Miss Wainwright included several neatly performed dives. They were a front jacknife, & buckâ€" jacknife, a swan dive, a front jecknife with m half twist, a back jacknife with a half twist, and a front oneâ€"andâ€"aâ€"half somersault. Miss Wainwright at one time held all of the American swimming records exâ€" cept the 440 yard and the mile. She was also a champion diver, them Signs of Improvement The total production of automobiles in the United States for the first five months of 1930 was 1,883,616, as compared with 1,804,725 in the first five months of 1928. It is possible that production of automobiles will be greater during the last few months of 1930 than it was in 1929, since motor production in that perâ€" iod fell below that of 1928, and the belief is general that the demand in 1931 will considerably exceed that of this year, ‘There are signs of inâ€" dustrial improvement which can be seen by those who care to look for The fancy diving events, using the newly erected spring board, were next on the program. In the boy‘s event, for those 14 and under, Jesse Johnson took first place, Donald Schwalbach, second, and Bob Grant, third. In the girl‘s open fancy divâ€" ing competition Nancy Craig was judged to have the best form, with Eva Miller, second, and Jane Robbins, third. The fancy diving for boys over 14 was won by Bob Trotter, with Bill Mayer, second, and Bill Hammond, third. Oneâ€"fourth Mile Swim One of the biggest features of the day was the oneâ€"fourth mile swim. The swim was started north of Park avenue and finished at the pier at the north end of the beach. It was a long, hard grind, but the winner, Ben Gallup, made the course in good time. Close on Gallup‘s heels was Bertil Berg, and Al Ranta finished in third pace. Bob Trotter was fourth. The duck race provided much amusement. A liveâ€"duck was released from out on the water, and the conâ€" testants attempted to retrieve it. WATER CARNIVAL IS DISTINCT SUCCESS the boy‘s 50 yard open race Bertil Berg, Bob Trotter, and Ed Roger took the honors. (Continued from page 4)
