DINOSAUR FOOTPRINTS
TO BE PRESERVED
According to the Associated Press
the last remaining footprint in a
trail giant dinosaurs left in the
sands of Arizona thousands of years
ago as they lumbered toward a pump
kin patch now petrified, is to be
preserved there for all time through
the action of Secretary Wlilbur, pre
venting its removal by a party of
scientists.
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.
Officials said this action was in line

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.—

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.
