In response to a protest against the expedition by Gov. Phillips of Arizona, Wilbur telegraphed the su perintendent of the Navajo Indian reservation to stop the party, which he said had no permit to go ahead.

The trail the party were headed for once stretched clear and long across the plain, with many perfect dinosaur tracks. It lead toward a petrified pumpkin patch, and the na tives said that it indicated the dino saurs liked the vegetable. WHAT PRICE TO PAY FOR A BAD GUESS Five boys appeared on the Uni versity of Baylor campus Tuesday morning with their hair shaved off as the result of a contract with a Baylor barber that they would have their heads shaved if Baylor did not come through with the confer ence flag. Evidently, the boys gave up hopes of Baylor winning although there are still two games, but as the entire student body was doubting as to whether they would keep their agreement, the boys kept their bar gain and are minus curly locks.— Daily Lariat. Real Diamond Made by Man Professor J. Willard Hershey, of McPherson college, has made a real diamond from sugar and iron filings. The man-made jem, about the size of a grain of sand, was exhibited at the meeting of the American Chemical Society at Minneapolis, and the scientists gathered there accepted the proof offered by the McPherson professor that the stone was a real diamond. Dr. Hershey believes the day will come when real diamonds of large size will be manufactured for decor ative as well as commercial use. The jem was made by exerting ten tons of pressure to the square inch on pure table sugar. This was done by heating the sugar to white heat at a temperature of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and then, while still white hot, dropping the mass into an ice cold brine. The theory is that the immense pressure created by such fast cooling turned the sugar into diamonds. The foreign matter in the product was then dissolved with various acids, until only the pure carbon remained—carbon now in the form of the world’s most prec ious stone.
