Marlton. N. J., April 9.--shells de- ciared to be 15,ooo,0Oo years old have been discovered in the mari pits of this town by Prof. John H. Ruckman, fed eral geologist and engineer. The dis coveries, it is said, give Marlton the greatest range of such specimens in the world, extending from the period when sheilfish represented the only animate life, until the epoch which probably directly preceded the appear ance of man. Giant lizards and huge animals long extinct are among the specimens which have been unearthed from mari deposits in this section, Teh most recent discoveries of Prof essor Ruckman, it is said, upset the calculations of the age of the mari de posits in New Jersey, and are believed to be the oldest remains of prehistoric life on earth.

With town and country busy building homes. planning. adding, gardening and everything, ''Bungalow Love-" the head line act at the Lyric for Monday, Tues day and Wednesday. will have a special significance. This little sketch, written by Willard Mack author of many clever plays and playlets. features Les Morgan and Beryl Gray and to say that they handle it we'll is putting it mildly, in- deed. according to critics who have re- viewed it. Sketching the skit, one finds that it is a suburban incident filled with humor and song.
 The other four acts afford wealth of amusement. Perhaps the Jack Hughes Duo. versatile instrumental virtuosi. comes first in importance, for it Is billed as an added attraction. In this number one finds perfect harmony in family. The two Hughes are brother and sister and the harmony referred to applies solely to their work on the piano. vio- lin. saxaphone, banjo and trumpet. Each instrument has been mastered, according to those who have heard them, the play CTS having had thorough musical edu- cation.
 Little Jim,'' bear that Is described as having human intelligence. is another number that Is expected to meet with warm approval. He does a physical rou- tine of tricks and finishes with wrest- i ling exhibition that Is extraordinary.

 The subject, or rather the title. as 1t might be termed, or Ar. Cobb's lecture is Home Folks" The lecture has been delivered in many of the larger cities, and has been immensely popu- lar. It is considered by many to be tho best lecture composed and delivered by the noted author.
 Home Folks" is essentially . lso- ture talk on people, applicable to ev- cry and any person: It has strongly personal element, and like the author, is intensely humand broad. One of the many reasons for Irwin Cobb's great popularity is this very humanness of his stories or subjects, and their wide application to the individual view point
 It is said that . strong sense of hu- nor pervades this new lecture of MT. Cobbss, even as 1t is known to run through his attractive stories. Those who have had the good fortune to know the author himself, know that 2 sense of humor also pervades the whole personality of the man.
