Other fossils include mamm cths. mastodons, tooth ed tigers. extinct species Of horses and dire wolves, These wolves were larger than present day timber wolves. Their name dire is a cor ruption of the Latin word dirus meaning terrible.
 "The moist climate Florida is known to have had is no handicap to the preservation of fossil bones, although it is easier 10 recover such relics in an arid country. In Florida they are found few feet below the surface. Weil-digging, dredges and excavations in phosphate beds have uncovered most of the sources so far discovered, numbering about 50."

Helen Morgan Pleads Monday to
 Liquor Nuisance Charge

| New York, April 12 N-Hele1 Morgan, singer of plaintiff melodies and the only woman ever to threat en the laurels of Texas Guinan as the most popular night club hostess on Broadway. will on Monday stand trial on the same charge of which Texas was acquitted.
 Miss Morgan, a popular musical comedy actress, is charged with maintaining a nuisance through sale of liquor at the Helen Morgan club at which she was hostess. She quit the night club business after her arrest last fall.
 Texas was acquitted yesterday In 64 minutes by jury of middle aged men who took but two ballots. None had ever been to a night club The verdict was greeted with cries of "Whoopee" by the spectators and Texas lavishly distributed kisses among spectators and jurymen.
 Freedom Costs S5O,O
 Her only regret. Texas said, was that by her acquittal she lost $50.- 900 that had been offered her by a newspaper syndicate to write se- ries of articles on life in jail.
 To Norman ]. Morrison, special deputy United States attorney gen. eral. who prosecuted her. she said:
 T want to thank you. You were a perfect gentleman"
 Miss Guinan," said the prosecu- tor, you were the toughest cus- toner l ever had"
 She then issued an invitation to all present. lawyers, jurors and spectators. to pass the evening Gt her new night club.

Marion Talley Abandons Opera
 s,. Career for Quiet Life on Farm

In 1922 she had her first addition before officials of the Metropolitan. Her lyric soprano was favorably re- cetved. and on advice of MT. Gatti- Casazza. general manager of the Metropolitan, she continued her studies in New York and Europe.
 It was announced a year ago that her net earnings under the manage ment of F. c. Coppicus. head of the Metropolitan musical bureau, from her concert career. which began in the spring of 1926. to February, 1928, were SS32,S92. This was ex- elusive of her contracts with the Metropolitan Opera company.
 Retirement of a singer 50 early in a stellar career is unprecedented. Geraldine F'arrar left the Metropoli- tam after attaining success com paratively young, but she was then older than Miss Talley is now. And she has continued in concert since then. Other noted singers have made public appearances well into middle age.
 The New York World said today in regard to Miss Talley:
 Numerous rumors became cur rent as to the possible cause of her decision. One report had it that she was to appear in the talkies. An other was that the singer, despite the continued enthusiasm of her public, was herself dissatisfied with the progress she had made in -er singing-an explanation that would conform with opinions of the critics who asserted her voice was cold and infiexible and that she was unable to act. Still another report was that the announcement was a publicity stunt designed to obtain for Miss Talley more and fatter contracts

Young Opera Singer to Retire Early Next Month Worth Half Million After Three Years.

New York. April F P-Marion Talley. youthful Metropolitan opera star, whose phenomenal career brought her fortune in three years, has decided to retire to a farm. Estimates are that her golden voice has made s500,O00.
 Since she is only 23 years old and presumably in years to come could earn hundreds of thousands more. she has amazed her concert manager and her friends with the statement:
 T have made up my mind to re- tire from the professional stage. By this. l mean all operatic appear ances as well. My retirement will b., permanent.
 T am going west with my fam lily. The farm might be in Cali fornia, and it might be in Colorado but l am going 10 look frst in the middle west. am going to be just like all other farmers"
 Her last appearance will be at Cleveland where she will sing in Lucia" May 4. Her engagement with the Metropolitan expires with that appearance.
 Miss Talley came from Kansas City, Mo. to make a s1oo,00O debut at the Metropolitan February 17, 1926. A trainload of her fellow townsmen came to augment the thousands who stormed the opera house that night and accorded her thunderous acclaim for her Gilda in "Rigoletto.'
 Born in Nevada, Mo, Miss Talley gave promise of musical talent at an early age. She sang popular songs at two. began the study of the piano at five and the violin when She was seven.

The Daily Worker is doing great
work for the WORKERS and one who
knows. the difficulties of running a
paper for the workers can under
stand it. The splendid fight you
are making for the Southern work
ers is truly wonderful, when one
knows the South and the backward
condition of labor below the Mason
and Dixie Line.
Have just passed through that
section on the way north from
Florida and words cannot describe
the conditions under which working
men and women and children are
driven. 1t is as bad as before the
Civil War. Slaves were better off,
as the boss had to feed them and
was sure to keep them in working
condition. Now he don't have to
worry over how they are, for there
are more in the hills ready to earn
more money, as many in the South
don't know what real money looks
like.
