ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Sydney, Australia, July 1.-THE
first truly fossil skull discovered in
Australia was recently handed over
as gift to the University of Sydney
by Joynton Smith Of the State Legis-
lative Council. This is the skull
which caused such sensation at the
Congress of the British Association OF
Science last September. 1t is believed
TO be $4,000 years old. Since the
British Associations convention the
petritied encrustation inside and out
side the skull has been removed by
Professors David and Smith Of the
University.
At the formalities attending the re-
ceipt of the skull from the donor,
Prof. David explained that it belonged
to the Pleistocene period and was
found after a food 81 years ago in the
bed of a creek near Talgai ranch on
the Darling Downs in the state Of
Queensland by a stockman.
Prof. Smith said that the sequence
of teeth in the skull was such as to
snow that it was that of youth about
II, Yet one of the teeth was the larg-
est human tooth yet discovered. The
extremely primitive characteristics OF
the skull were so great, he said as to
warrant its beng placed with such
anthropological specimens as the pre-
historic Heidelberg jaw and the Pitt
down sllu;i.

Dunkirk, France, July a3-The Bel
gian army is now clothed in khaki in
stead OF the dark colored and con-
spicuous uniform Of the earlier months
Of the war. II has been a popular
change since the Khaki OF the British
soldier has been much admired by the
Belg.ans as both smarter in military
sense and more business like than
their own dark blue and green.
The sanitary situation along ths
Belgian front is excellent, ard the sick
report is exceedingly small. The
bodies Of dead horses and men floating

A fire of unusual character oc.
Cured Saturday afternoon when a
moving van, the property of Mr.. c. B..
Vail of this city, which was being
used to transfer some of the house
hold goods of Mr.. William Burnett
from Fredericktown to Mt. Vernon,

minor pieces of furniture were re-
moved, before the flames reached
them.
The loss to Mr.. Burnett consisted
OF a bookcase, chiffonier, and a CEN

cies. The loss is complete. Mr.. Vail
carried no insurance on his van, save
that ON his barn and its contents

bers Refuse To Bulge
After A Session Covering
Period Of 20 Weeks
Legislature Is Still Deadlock.
ed On License Question

Columbus, O., May 1O--The whip
hand in the legislature is held by the
Cincinnati delegation. At the end of
the twentieth week of fruitlessness it
is declared that in the deadlock over
the liquor decentralizer an armistice
has been effected and the word has
gone back to Cincinnati that the rep
resentatives of that city will get the
legislation they want. This is exact
ly the same situation that one week
ago caused the leaders of the anti-lib-
eral element to declare that they
would look with suspicion on any COM
promise liquor decentralizing measure
that might be offered.
The Cincinnatians are right in
standing pat on the fultillment of the
promise that was made to them, but
that promise, rightfully or wrongful
ly charged to the governor, should not
have been permitted to interfere with
the rights of the rest of the state dur
ing the session; nor should it now be
permitted to inflict longer or further
session on the people who are getting
mighty tired of the whole business.
For the first time since it came to-
gether the legislature has held an all
week session; but it is now no nearer
adjournment than it was at the be-
ginning of the week. Governor Willis
is insisting on certain things and
bringing all the powers of the boss to
play, including even the indirect touch
of bribery in the promise of patron
age. His efforts as boss are as futile
as have been his attempts at direction
in other lines, and Ohio still has the
burden of the legislature.
In the mixup of the week the men,
bers of the house repudiated the
school ripper plans of Governor Will
lis and Mary f. Lee by decisively de-
feating the Plumb-Stone bill. Then in
the senate the Winans bill to strength
en- the Cox school code was passed
with but four dissenting votes, and ev-
cry effort to amend the bill to get in
ripping provisions was successfully
resisted
Republicans around the state have
been overlooking the fact that there
is q job open in every county. One
member of the board of complaints is
to be named in May and the tax COM
mission of the state has the power Of
appointment. The place pays pretty de-
cent salaries. too. Get in line, men.
Don't shave."
o
A Cincinnati delegation of business
men visited the governor to ask cer-
