MUSEUM OBTAINS FOSSILS
Unique Specimens Are Considered
Valuable Acquisition
Two unique and very rare speci
mens of fossil echinoid were recently
purchased from Washington Univer
sity, St. Louis, Missouri, for the Uni
versity museum. These specimens are
sea urchins which are almost com
pletely preserved in tie rock, al
though they are flattened. One speci
men is flattened from the side and
the other from the top.
Rare echinoids (Melonechinus)
such as these have been found com
plete at onl one place in the world
so far. Between 1840 and mtV a
tomall ledge of rock containing these
perfectly preserved specimens was
'uncovered by blasting in opening up
some new streets in St. Louis.
A number of the specimens were
distributed to museums at tho time,
but some have been stored away dur
ing the intervening years, and these
came into the possession of Wash
ington University some years ago.
Only recently they were unpacked
and a few of them have been made
available to other institutions. They
are considered a rare acquisition to
the Morrill collections.
A rare fossil dorsal fin spine from
a Mississippian shark was also pur
chased from Washington University.

Imphments in Use By
Prehistoric Europeans
Madison, Wis., Feb. 13. Some 500
paleolithic implements used by pre
historic European peoples form a
new collection recently purchased by
the Wisconsin State historical muse-,
urn, and described by Director Char
les E. Brown as being particularly
valuable.
"Implements in this collection,"

ally all prehistoric European hori
zons. Many were taken from rock
shelters and caves in France.
"We are particularly fortunate in
obtaining nearly 100 specimens tak
en from the Azilian, Salutrean, and
Aurignacian sites in Algiers. These
are among the first paleolithic imple
ments obtained from such newly-discovered
sites in North Africa."
Many of the specimens were col
lected by Alonzo W. Pond, formerly
assistant director of Logan museum
at Beloit college, and now a graduate
student at the University of Chicago.
Mr. Pond gained considerable fame
by his explorations abroad.
The collection includes scrapers,
gravers, axes, perforators, grind
stones, hammer stones, discs, knife
blades, and other stone implements
besides some bone and shell ones.
They will be on display oon.

TAKE IT EASY
"They say that True Love never runs
"As smooth and sleek as seals;
"Oh, yes, it does, when Sweethearts walk
"On Goodyear Wingfoot Heels."
Everywhere you look, in college
and out, you note the growing
tendency toward the easy dignity of
rubber heels.
The noise' that hard heels make fre
quently detracts from an other
wise attractive personality.
And the jars and jolts of walk
ing on unyielding heels are
a real cause of foot-weariness.
Rubber heels and particu
larly Goodyear Wingfoot Heels
absorb the hammer blows of thou
sands of steps. They cushion firmly,
deeply, resiliently. And they have the
trimmest style. You'll sec them on
the smartest shoes of the best manu

on Goodyear wingfoot Heels than on
any other kind.
