In the genus Ranella is to be
found the frog shell. This name, of
course, is from the imaginary re-
semblance to our friend the frog,
whose many warts distinguish him
and make him quite individual.
You can also see by its squat
form and sprawling, tubercled proc
esses that the imagination can cas-
lily replace this with legs and have a
definite picture of Well-to-do frog
sitting beside a mosquito-f bog.
There are some so species of the
frog shells. They are distributed in
the tropical seas, and their builders
are surely animals that can get
about. The one to be found in
Southern and Lower California
reaches length of inches and is
an active animal making fine head
way on its one broad foot as it
walks over the rocks and coral reefs.
You can identify this shell from the
Triton, which it so much resembles,

one species by the habits of q close
cousin. Those of the younger gen.
Grafton are covered with wrinkled
skin (epidermis), which soon wears
OF, and the family ridges, spines
and colors show more plainly.
One of the most beautiful of all
the frog shells is to be found in the
waters of Cape of Good Hope, Chill,
Indian Ocean and New Zealand. 1t
is known as the Argus Ranella, and
1T has been said they are captured
by the natives lowering a dead fish
or bird and letting it down among
the night-hunting Ranellas, who
are not at all adverse to feasting
upon this tempting bait. In their
greed they hang on so firmly that
they can be brought to the surface
and captured with no trouble what
ever.

MORAL RE-ARAIAMENT KEY TO
WORLD PROGRESS

In furtherance of the movement
for Moral Re-armament, to lift the
thinking and living of mankind to
a new moral level as the key to the
solution of today's social and eco
nomic problems, Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor, along with the Gov
ernors of twenty-nine other States,
has issued a plea for return to a
common faith in God, and in the
elemental principles. without which
Democracy cannot endure.
The statement, as issued by Gov
ernor O'Conor to the people of
Maryland, is as follows: Emerson
said that America may be Gods
last chance to make world.
eve have gone far towards maxi
ing that world. We have conquered
a continent. We have built great
cities. Our ships and railways carry
the produce of farm and factory to
every corner of the nation. We en-
Joy great economic freedom.
"And yet, in spite Of all that
we have done, there are within our
borders empty factories, hungry
people, struggling farms. We have
found no cure for the mounting
overhead of strained relationships
between class and class, business
and government, capital and labor.
For these things are all response
BILE, and all seek a solution. Our
material success cannot blind us to
our moral failure.
Moral Re-Armament is our most
urgent need. We must return to q
common faith in God, and in those
elemental principles-honesty, UNI
selfishness, love and purity-with-
out which Democracy cannot long
prosper nor endure.
"a democracy lacks unity unless
it is built on private and public
honesty, unless responsible citizen
ship replaces the selfish demand fog
rights.
Recognizing that the underlying
cause of the present crisis is moral
and seeing in Moral Re-Armament
the way to meet it, we pledge our
selves to seek the solution to our
national problem in true spirit OF
patriotism. We urge every citizen
to do the same, believing that only
as we unite in this spirit can we
help lead the world to sanity and
peace"
