...Brontosaurus were to snort in Wall Street, it would sound no stranger than did a two-column ad in the Wall Street Journal, fortnight ago. "WANTED FAST! . . . One man with $15,000 cash money or two men with $7,500 cash money each. . . . AND FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE PLEASE HURRY. I am just getting ready to dig a 4,300-foot well in Ector County, West Texas . . . and ... I don't believe there is even any doubt but that we will have anywhere from 50 feet to 100 feet of oil saturation and make anywhere from...
...unaccomodating little wire-haired terrier called "George." It shows Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant wandering in and about golf courses, forests, and a Connecticut jail in search of "Baby"--the young leopard, and vaguely hoping to recover Mr. Grant's most precious possession: the intercostal clavicle of a prehistoric brontosaurus. It enlists the services of such tried-and-true comedians as Charlie Ruggles, Walter Catlett, and May Robson, and includes every conceivable sort of comedy from the broadest slapstick to the subtlest incongruity. Largely through the efforts of Miss Hepburn, who has discovered a delightful flair for this sort...
...plant-feeding dinosaur, tentatively named Atlantosaurus montanus, discovered in Colorado. The verses were composed by an author-traveler named Frank Cowan of Greensburg, Pa., published in Vol. III, No. 1, of Ward's Natural Science Bulletin, dated Jan. 1, 1884.

North American bird eggs, glass models...
...forces of Cynthia Hope's (Helen Gahagan's) grandfather, a die-hard Republican out to smash a pack of radical cubs at the polls, are lined up against the faction of Frederick Holden (Ben Smith), who thinks grandfather and his allies are sociological contemporaries of the brontosaurus. A lazy neutral, Actor Webb twits grandfather's associates by inquiring if they think it quite sanitary, not to change their convictions more than twice a year. For the lower orders he has no more reverence, observing that a hammer murderess has got exactly what she deserves-three weeks...
...great brontosaurus of American industry, U. S. Steel Corp., was brought into existence by the mighty financial hand of the original J. P. Morgan. Today, as from its beginning, Morgan men sit prominently on the board of U. S. Steel. Last week one more Morgan man, not a partner but a son of the House, was chosen to help mold the destinies of Steel. His name is Edward Riley Stettinius and he has, by reputation, the driving power of a locomotive...
