 Form of Service Remains
 Although the federation would have concrete form and advisory powers over it's members, the resolutions set forth, the union would be spiritual rather than material. No mechanical change in the form of administration, or form of service, would be made by individual churches, according to the resolutions.
 This is the most significant step the church has taken since the refor- nation said the Rev. Wilbur Chap man. The action of the congress will be landmark pointing toward world democracy. Although the resolutions approved today will have to be ratified, the churches are practically united. The federation was born the moment we adopted the resolutions"

Threshermen Must Report.

Under the authority of the Food
Control Act. the Bureau of Markets
of the United States Department of
Agriculture is to require from all
threshermen in the country periodical
reports on the number of bushels of
wheat threshed by them and the acre
age from which the grain was pro-
duced. A list of threshermen is being
compiled from all available sources
by the Bureau of Crop Estimates,
which is cooperating in the under
taking, and the Bureau of Markets is
having printed supply of blank forms
for threshing reports, together with a
pocket memorandum book for daily
records. Reports will begin with the
opening in June of the winter-wheat
harvesting season. The county agents
will aid in distributing the schedules
and memorandum books and will also
assist in assembling the results.
The results are to be made available
for the use of the United States Food
Administration, the Federal Trade
Commission and other branches of the
government. They are expected to
provide complete and accurate check
on the advance wheat figures of the
Bureau of Crop Estimates in the same
way that the cotton-ginning reports,
compiled by the Bureau of the Census.
check the cotton estimates.

FROGS THATHAVE HAIR.

"Finers than frog hair" has long
been slang method of expressing the
superlative degree Doubtless no one
ever gave it a thought whether frogs
have hair or not. Probably no one
ever realizes they did until Prot. G. A.
Boulenger discovered in the German
Congo frogs that had growing upon
their bodies either hair or very good
imitation of it
II has since developed that anatom-
ically it is not hair, in the sense in
which the term applies to mammals.
Our own hair is akin to finger nails:
1t is a horny growth. whereas the
hair" on the African frogs is an alb
normal development of the tubercles
that appear on the skin of the ordi-
nary frog. Pittsburg Leader

MICA SCHIST FOR
FURNACE LINING

Mica schist is one of the commonest
kinds of metamorphis rock and con-
sists essentially of mica and quartz,
! with which may be associated certain
other minerals, such as garnet and
staurolite. Owing to its marked folia-
ton, its softness, and its generally I'M
attractive appearance, it has not been
greatly used as structural stone or as
paving or crushed stone. 1t was once
quarried near Bolton, Conn, for use
as fiagstone, but it was too soft to
Withstand the wear upon it in places
of much travel.
The mica, to which the softness of
mica schist is due, however, success
fully withstands a very high tempera-
ture, and as the stone can be readily
cut into blocks of the desired shape,
mica schist has therefore been used
considerably as furnace lining. The
mica schist quarried for this use is
| found in Eastern Pennsylvania, at
| places conveniently near the metallur-
gical plants in which il is required.
| The quantity of mica schist produced
for this purpose in 1917 was 39,975
short tons, an increase of 6,739 tons,
or 20 per cent over 1916. according to
statistics compiled by G. F. Loughlin,
of the UF ted States Geological Sur
vey, Depe ftment of the Interior The
value of the output in 1917 was SIS, $50,
an increase of S3S,6S2, or nearly 50
per cent. The greater increase in
value was due to a esriin price from
SLAP to S2.15 ton. which largely rep
resents the increased cost of produc-
I ton.

Like the kind of a firm you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind.
For there's nothing that's really

It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your firm;

Good firms are not made by men

Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everyone works and nobody

You can raise a firm from the dead !;
And if while you make your personal

Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your firm win be what you want to
see,

TELLS RED CROSS
WORK IN EUROPE.
Chairman Dayison's Statement To Be
Run Serially in The Evening
Capital.

Because of the real picture of con-
ditions which il gives, The Capital. at
the request of the Annapolis and Anne
Arundel Chapter of the Red Cross, will
| from day to day publish as a continued
article statement issued by Henry p
| Dawson, chairman of the War Coun-
/ ell of the American Red Cross, which
was issued by Mr. Dawson immedi-
ately upon his recent return from
| Europe.
Il arrived in Europe early in
March," said Mr. Dawson, having
gone there primarily for the purpose
of inspecting arrangements made by
| the American Red Cross TO take care
, of American boys abroad, and also to
inquire in what way the work of the
| Red Cross Commission in different
parts of Europe might be strengthen
ed in caring for our own soldiers and
those of our allies, and also in taking
a message of practical sympathy and
help to the civilian population, es-
| pecially of France and Italy
This war is still in a very serious
stage, and the demands upon our peo-
pie for sacrifice and support of it are
greater than ever before. There is no
occasion for anything but confidence,
but that confidence must be based up
on effort and willingness on the part
| of every man and woman to do his
! part.
Our boys. as they arrive in France,
are showing the most wonderful
| spirit. They go into action with a
| dash and bravery which is the talk of
all Europe. But the price which will
have to be paid for victory will be
very heavy, and it will be some time
before our boys can become as eff
| fective as they must be to help France,
| England, Italy and Belgium with the
victory which must be won.
The outstanding feature of Ger
man method at the present time is
| the effort to terrorize the women, chill
dren and old men at home While the
German troops are making their
drive on the front, airplanes are bomb
ing, nearly every night, towns behind
the lines, with the deliberate and de-
clared purpose of terrorizing civil
ians
THE purpose of the flight behind
the lines is to break down the morale
of the civilian population to such a
point that they will importune their
governments for peace. 1t is the most
dastardly, unrighteous, cruel, devil
ish plan which could be conceived 1t
is based upon the theory that the kill
ing of four children out of five will in
duce the mother to implore her gov
eminent to have the war stopped that
her fifth child may live. 1t is car
ried on from the English channel to
the Swiss border and from the Swiss
border to the Adriatic, and has result
ed in the murder and manning of
women and children and the driving
of hundreds of thousands of terror
stricken from their homes to wher-
ever they might seek refuge.
