To Preach OF Heroes.

Former Governor Goldsborough,
chairman OF the General Liberty Loan
Committee, met with the laymen's COM
mittee headed by John B. Ramsay.
which Is making arrangements for the
celebration Of Heroes Day, Sunday,
September 20.
1t Is planned to have ministers in
every church in the State preach in
commemoration Of the deaths Of Amer.
lean soldiers in this war, after which
1t is expected that subscriptions will
be taken for the Liberty Loan, that
finances may be had for the prosecution
of the war-that these dead shall not
have died in vain"
There also was meeting of the
committee Representing the manufac'
turers and other big employers of labor
composed of Howard Bruce Thomas
A. Cross, w. Frank Roberts, John NJ,
Hood and George NJ. Shriyer-which Is
working upon plans to have everyone
of the $4,000 workmen in Maryland
buy a Liberty Loan bond in the next
campaign.
The publicity committee is going
ahead rapidly with its arrangements
for the monster meeting on Saturday,
September 28, when Colonel Roose.
welt will speak here and open the loan
campaign. Elaborate plans are being
made for this meeting, and the ind1'
cations now are that it will be one or
the most spectacular and one OF the
largest ever held in Baltimore city.
The managers Of the campaign are plan
ming to make it an opening gun whose
reverberations will be heard until the
Maryland quota Of $80,00O,OO0 or 800,
100000 is raised.
A spirit OF fine cheer pervades the
men who are directing the preliminar
les. They believe that the indications
received thus far of the peoples mood
augurs success, no matter how heavy
the load Maryland may be asked to
bear. The action Of the Maryland Cas-
ualty Company in deciding to subscribe
$1,OO0,OOO was splendid boost. Com
Ing after the decision of the city admin
instration to invest $1,000,OO0 Of the
city's funds in the bonds, and after
the promise Of 100000 from the
Masons in the State, the Casualty Com
pany's announcement was a confidence
builder OF the first grade.

STATE
CAPITAL
To Get Labor 0laokere,

Annapolis.-Anns Arundel oountys
branch of the Maryland Council OF De.
tense, headed by Judge Robert Moss, OF
the Circuit Court and State Senator
Frank M. Duvall, announced drastic
plan whereby they are determined to
"get" the labor Stacker, or make him
pay the penalty for the "halfloaf. half.
work" policy now in vogue here.
The big manufacturing plants IN the
Curtis Bay, and Brooklyn section OF
the county adjacent to Baltimore, as
we'll as many farmers. have agreed to
cooperate with them In enforcing their
plan, which is to have weekly reports
made by employers, to the council,
upon the number Of days each of their
men has worked and how many days
hs should have worked each week
From this weekly data will be compiled
q list, and when man shows himself
@ chronic absentee for two or three
days each week, his name is to be
given to States Attorney N, H. Green,
tor criminal action under the State
Compulsory Work law.
AS another side Of the plan, the
committee proposes to spur on the con-
sistent workers by keeping a record OF
their activities and publishing from
time to time the names of men who
have made remarkable records and at
the same time to send copy Of the list
of all who make good" to the Depart
ment of Labor in Washington, as per-
sons who have specially aided in win
ming the war.

HuskIno Bee Revival.

Federalsburg.-The is to be re
viyal this autumn of the old-fashined
husking bees, in which the farmer and
the fair members of his household and
their friends will be invited to partic
ipate, and, of course, they will all &C
tept. The husking bee is great in
stitution, observed with zest until
comparatively recent years. There is
a great deal of interest centering aboT
a corn pile, with a couple dozen willing
helpers. Such gatherings were quite
frequent in some sections Of Caroline
county 20 years ago. The social fea'
ture of the event was quite attractive
and the work accomplished was a mat
ter of much moment.

sharks which Just then were usurping the
supremacy OF the seas. Among the sharks
OF the period there was tendency to
evolve crushing or grinding, in place OF
piercing, teeth which had distinguished
them In the Devonian Age The conse-
quence was rapid decrease of prey The
sharks which acquired crushing or grind
ing teeth finally monopolized the waters.
Some Of the Placoderms commenced to
specialize In such teeth. but. too late The
prey had been deyoured by new types OF
sharks which were able to survive, while
the Placoderms persisted.
The Placoderms IN general had solid
rooted skulls, with few openings. Titan
ichthys had two openings for his very large
eyes. He lad two small holes we'll for.

with shear teeth OF lesser dimensions.
From this model by Hussakof and Horter,
1t is possible to erect in words, fair con-
ception of Titanichthys. a monster so
terrible that the world was fortunate in
being well rid of him before the present
types OF animals evolved
The principal perpleXity Of science. after

Titanichthys worked it. Inside were the
six teeth. the largest ever seen on earth
Now, have you ever noted a laborer's axe

like that. The two in the lower jaw had
each an axe and pick i'll one solid piece. In
the upper jaw each axe and pick were
separate, making four teeth above to two
below. Scientists, Of course, call the
"picis" tusks and the "aXes" cutting
b.ades or shear teeth. Then again, the
beast had no facial muscles to move the
teeth. such as humans and other modern
animals have. When scheme was finally
worked out as to how Titan used his jaws
and teeth, Mr. Horter made model head

animal must have done by merely pulling

What, science kept wondering, could have
cracked it for a primeval entree, and what
on earth was the equipment or whatever
1t was that could do it?
The discovery OF fossil jawbone out in
Ohio, a six-foot jawbone, a jawbone
equipped with broadaxes and picks in lieu
of teeth and, without question. the weird
est jawbone ever found, has answered the
problem at last.
The creature that preyed on the armor-
plated fish was the strangest fish, and at
the same time the hugest and most terrible
fish. that ever swan. Actually, it was not
fish at all, because it had no backbone.
1t represented the last and biggest crea-
ture to exist before backbones or vertebrae
evolved. 1t was the first true carnivore,
with all other existing water creatures its
prey. Backbones undoubtedly came about
at last partly to keep it from eating the

hadn't appeared about this time there
would be no scientists to-day to ponder
over the fossil jaw, because the ancestors
