Teeth Last
Giant Shark
Relics Here
Boy Scouts Hunt for
Them Along Shore
of Chesapeake.
By Bernard K0kn.

SHARKS teeth, some as large as a
mans hand, are the only known
remains of giant sharks that ruled
the seas millions of years ago. Great
numbers of these fossils are found in
sandy deposits along the Atlantic
Coast and in the Pacific Ocean. Yet
few landlubbers or mariners ever see
them.
In the Chesapeake Bay region Boy
Scouts stage novel Sharks Tooth
Hunt" every Summer. Prizes are
awarded to boys who find the most,
the tiniest and the largest teeth. Dur
ing recent contest a Scout collected
over 600 teeth in one week The
shores and steep cliffs yield these
sharp, fat, age-blackened fossils.
Beach mixers dig into the hillsides
and often uncover fine specimens
Along the waters edge collectors find
the teeth washed down by rain and
wind.
Some are worn smooth by the ele-
ments and others have jagged edges.
It is surprising to find the remains
OF these deep-sea monsters in cliffs
far above the level Of the ocean. But
scientists explain these triangular fos-
sils show that ages ago the seas COW
cred vast expanses of our present-day
land. The prehistoric teeth are found
as far inland as Washington, D. c.,
while tons of them have been hauled
from Wilmington, Del, and ground
into fertilizer.
Scientists estimate the ancient
sharks attained length of 80 feet.
Their jaws were feet across, with
several rows Of upper and lower teeth!
Imagine what formidable monsters
once lurked in the early seas! A liv-
ing relatives Of this fearful denizen
is the great white shark of today,
which grows to length of 80 feet
Yet its teeth are scarcely over an
inch long.
Although sharks are big and pow
erful, they leave behind little evidence
of their existence. After death their
cartilage framework soon disappears.

Snowy Owl
Makes Visit
FrOnArctic
Selects Winter for An
nual Journey to
United States.

ONE of our most interesting Winter
visitors from the bleak and for
bidding frozen wastes of the North
country Is the snowy owl (nyctea
nyctea). It is never with us in the
Summertime, and its Winter visits
are very variable. Sometimes, when
food is scarce in its Artic home, it
descends on us in considerable num-
bers; in other years, when a plentiful
supply Of game is to be found in the
North, only very few individuals
Of the species will migrate Southwark
Minnesota seems to be its favorite
States, for whenever there are very
many snowy owls spending the Winter
in the United States, the North Star
State receives the lions share. Once
tn while, a few snowy owls will fly
as far South as Texas.
Were it not for the fact that its
head is almost perfectly round, giving
1t rather a comical appearance, the
snowy owl would have to be rated as
our most beautiful owl It is big
fellow, attaining an average length of
about % inches, the female being
slightly larger than her mate. The
normal color of this bird is white, with
. larger or smaller number Of narrow
horizontal bands of black all over the
body.
The width of these black bars is as
variable as their number, and some
snowy owls, which have great many
wide bars, are quite dark in color, while
others, with fewer bars, are almost
white. AS the snowy owl grows older.
1t tends to lose its black bars and be-
come more nearly pure white. The
legs and feet Of this bird are very
thickly feathered.
The snowy owl has q strong, easy
flight. Its cry, which is seldom heard,
Il wild and wailing, and Is q scary
oound to hear when you are all alone
TN the woods.
There is absolutely no evidence that
this species Of owl ever attacks poultry.
However, any wild bird or small man.
NAL it can manage to catch serves as
Its prey. During the Summer, when
many kinds of migratory small birds
are nesting and raising their families
In its far Northern home, it enjoys
quite q varied menu. In the Winter,
on the other hand, it is necessarily
limited to such animals as stay there
the year round; consequently, its
Winter prey consists largely of ptarmi-
gan, hare, rabbit, sage grouse Gin the
more southern portions Of its range,
and any stray rodent that is inceutious
enough to venture out into the open
without f1rst taking . careful look

Inner Tube Ball.

A hard rubber ball which will bounce
as high as house can be made from
an old inner tube.
Take pair of shears and cut con-
tinuous strip of rubber one-fourth
inch thick by cutting the tube around

inches of the tube to make good

Start winding it as you would any
ordinary string ball, but stretch the
rubber string as you wind.
When you have finished winding,
work about 10 inches of the end Of
your string in and out under the rub
Der strings already wound The ball
will be made firm if you will pull out
those which are wound deepest and

them.
When you have finished, test your

BY A. c. CLOETINGH.

Director. the Penn State Players.
~ NCE our play has been selected,
1 we are ready to start But
Y J if we are going to put on a
~ play, we must have actors.
1t should not be a difficult matter to
find persons to play the parts, for
everybody likes to act, boys and girls
as well as grown-ups.
Choosing the right persons for the
parts is very important matter, es-
pecially so If we are going to give our
play before an audience. And, Of
course, half the fun is appearing be-
fore an audience.
We should think over the parts Of
the play and then form definite ideas
Of what the characters in the play
look like. Suppose there is king in
the play. Our usual idea of king is
rather tall and dignifed man. OF
course, there have been some short
and fat kings, but we usually think
of king as tall Naturally, We must
find boy who would make a good
appearance as king-a boy who Is
eniA oAAd SaAi opPSol OlsIlllcu.
While we are selecting our actors,
we must also choose a director. A
play that does not have some one in
charge is almost sure to result in
very bad performance. There must
be some one to tell the actors where
to move, how to speak their lines,
when they are to sit down and when
to stand up. The director should be
responsible for the performance, but
Of course, he will constantly consult
with his actors, as well as with those
who are making the scenery and the
costumes.
WHEN the director has been chosen
and he or she should be chosen
even before the actors, because the
director should have some say about
the people who are to play the parts
you are ready to start rehearsals The
first thing to do is to read the play.
At the next rehearsal the director
should give the business, that is,
he should tell the actors where the
doors and windows are, as well as
any piece of furniture that may be
necessary for the performance. Then
he should tell the actors where they
are to enter, and what they should
do while they are on the stage. Some
times character would sit down, at
other times he will stand The di-
rector should decide all such business.
BY the third rehearsal, the actors
should have all their parts committed
to memory. The sooner you can learn
your part, the better actor you are
likely to be. So learn your lines as
soon as possible.

"HE position Of page for the Su-

States is one that many boys

~HE position Of page for the Su-
preme Court of the United
States is one that many boys
Il envy-but the lucky lads who
get the appointments have their
anxieties, too.
One of their worries is that they
will grow too tall for their jobs!
No law sets the maximum age limit
for the pages, but they have to "look
like pages" which means they have
to look young, according to Marshal
Frank Key Green.
Two Of the boys now holding posi-
tions with the court are already feet
10 inches tall, though they're only
IA and Is years old This probably
means that they will fail to be re-
appointed next year.
Since the pages wear a uniform of
black or dark blue knickerbocker
trousers, with long black hose, it's
easy to imagine that 6-footer would
appear a little awkward.
On the other hand, page cannot
receive An appointment until he's IA
years old, under the District child
labor law. With both these rules
in effect, the longest boy can hold
the position is four or five years.
OF course, the pages-there are only
four Of them-must have other quail
dcations besides youthful appearance
They must be courteous and in
telhgent," though they don't have to
take an examination for the post.
Each has title-flrst, second, third
and fourth pages-and each has diff
ferent duties both in and out of the
court room. These include running
errands, preparing the benches for
the justices and the bar before their
entrance into the court, keeping glasses
fllled with water for the justices, get
ting books fer them and parting the
heavy curtains for the justices as
court convenes.
Though the boys see and become
acquainted with many of the most
prominent attorneys of the country,
only one now under appointment
Pennell Kirkbride-has definitely de-
cided he wants to study law.
The families Of three of the present
pages now live in Washington. Pen
nell's mother, Mrs. Miriam P. Kirk
bride, lives at George Washington Inn;
Jack Stuart's mother, Mrs. GLADYS
Stuart, lives at 203l Florida avenue,
and Peter Smiths parents, Col. and
Mrs. Walter H. Smith, make their
home at 1900 @ street. The home of
the first page-John Emory, is at Log
Inn, Annapolis, Md, but in Wash
ington he lives at 11l4 E street north
east
Pages attend public or private night
schools or study under private tutors,
since they are required to keep up
with their school work If their duties
have been performed they are allowed
to study during working hours in
the marshals Office.
At this time, when so much of the
future Of the Presidents New Deal
program depends on Supreme Court
decisions, the boys are in the center
Of much excitement Monday is the
big day Of the week, because that's
when the famous nine justices hand
down opinions. Then the huge marble
corridors Of the building are filled
with visitors who crowd into the court
room.
The pages know that legislation to
increase the size of the court unless
justices retire at 10 years of age is
before Congress. This bill, if it were
passed, might add as many as six
justices to the nine already on the

Raising Cigarette
Is Trick Feature
BY Thomas the Magician.

BY Thomas the Magician.
WITH the ever-increasing popu-
larity of cigarette tricks, this
week I give you an effect which
you may perform with very little
preparation on a borrowed pack Of
cigarettes.
EFFECT: A package of cigarettes is
held in the performers right hand. All
at once, at the performers verbal COM
mand, a single cigarette rises out Of
the pack, seemingly without any out
side aid whatsoever!
EXPLANATION: In the rirst place,
the cigarette isn't really in the pack at
all. 1t is between ths package itself
and the cellophane wrapper surround
ing the package.
Before the show. borrow a package
of cigarettes from some member of the
audience, explaining that you want to
use it in the show later on.
After you have the package in your
possession out of sight Of the audience
place a single cigarette IN the position
described above; that is, between the
paper wrapper and the cellophane
wrapper.
Now, seeing that the cigarette pack
age is not full for the trick will work
better If few are removed) just pick
up the package. showing the front to
the audience. Thus held, 1t looks
perfectly ordinary in every respect.
As you pronounce the magic words
CABRA-CA-DABRA') just press up
on the cigarette with your first finger,
and If the cigarette has been placed in
the package correctly, it will seem to
rise directly from the center.
After it has come out of the pack
age, remove it from your right hand,
and present it to the owner, together
with his package.
This method allows the audience to
inspect the articles used to their hearts
content.

If any, were considered musicians.
A S SOON as organization was COM

Separate group rehearsals were held

Two rehearsals daily for the next
