WILL PLAN FOB IMPROVEMENTS Commissioners to Get Courthouse Ideas Again. Marion County commissioners today made arrangements to confer with Robert Frost Daggett, local architect, relative to drawing up new plans for tho remodeling of the Courthouse. Saturday the county council refused to pass an ordinance presented by the commissioners asking for $500,000 In bondsl to cover the improvement costs. Several weeks ago Daggett presented improvement plans to the commissioners. “These plans were so utterly deficient that we could not consider them at all,” said Commissioner Cassius L. Hogle. • While the council killed the appropriation ordinance, it reappropriated $2,500 for the services of an architect In submitting new Courthouse plans. Hogle said Daggett has not been paid for the services already rendered. Hogle said that if Daggett cannot meet the commissioner’s contract requirements another person will be asked to do the work.

r "“1 MONO the many things which I A. I malce the seashore a place of 1/wonder and delight are the shells, of the most curious and interesting shapes, with which it abounds. Some, washed up by the tide, are empty; but others contain the living tenants, which often rlv&l the shells in interest. But shells are not confined to the seashore. They are found In all parts of the ocean, sometimes buried in the mud and ooze of the ocean bed, or floating airily on the surface of the water a thousand miles or more from shore; and the dim quiet of the Arctic waters and the brilliant shimmer of the tropic seas alike conceal their millions of interesting creatures. Nor is its necessary to go to the sea for shells, for they abound in fresh-water ponds and streams and on land. They are even found in the desert beds of dried-up seas, on lofty mountains, and far down in the depts of the earth, giving their mute witness to the life of long-past ages. Shells as we know them are the coats of armor that mollusks and other animals form to protect themselves. The shell is composed of substances secreted by the gland’s of the animal's back. It consists largely of carbonate of lime, which Is the basic material of limestone, chalk and marble; and lime is often obtained commercially by burning pile of shells. As the animal grows In size its shell increases in thickness and extent. The lines of growth are usually clearly marked by the ridges running parallel to the outer or free edge, as in the oyster or calm. The other ridges and protuberances on a shell are caused by corresponding projections on the “mantle,” or muscular tissue which grows from the back.

HEARING IS CONTINUED Death of Judge Moll’s Father Postpones Schlensker Case Arguments. Hearing of oral arguments in the case of Otto F. Schlensker, auto parts dealer, seeking to recover part of which he deposited with the State treasurer in "good faith,” when it was alleged he overcharged the State highway commission, was continued today until Feb. 15. Continuance was made because of the death of the father of Judge T. J. Moll, one of the five Superior Court Judges sitting as a court of claims. Homer Elliott, Schlensker’s attorney, has already filed briefs with the Judges. Both sides have asked that the court make a special finding of facts. 144 ARRESTS ARE MADE Police made 144 arrests over the week-end, records at city prison show today. Thirty-five persons including two women, were charged with intoxication. Nine men and four women were charged with operating blind tigers. Dave Lunsford, 30, of 3416 N.

The mullusk shell consists of three layers. The outer surface is covered with a thin layer of horn like material which contains no lime. Beneath ‘.his is a layer of very small prisms of carbonate of lime. Lastly, forming the internal layer, is the nacre, or "mother-of-pearl,” composed of alternate layers of carbonate of lime and a homy substance arranged parallel to the surface. The free edges of these refract the light and thus produce the beautiful Iridescent appearance which we"prlze so highly. The outside of the shell may be white, black, brown, tan, purple, red or rose, but usually some pattern combining several colors, tints or shades. The color of the Interior Is usually paler and more delicate than the exterior, and often It is splendidly prismatic. Shells of the tropica are usually more highly tolored than those of temperate zones. When you look at a collection of shells you are amazed at the Infinite variety of shapes represented. Many of them so closely resemble other natural objects or objects of human invention, that they are known as “miter,” “harp,” "helmet,” “top,” “razor,” "turban,” “cone,” “basket,” “lamp,” “frog,” “trumot,” “ear,” and “slipper” shells. Most are marked with ridges, folds, frills, or spines, corresponding to the growth or structural peculiarities of the animal that lived in them. But despite the great variety of. these forms, you will soon notice that they nearly all fall into one of two great groups—those having a shell in one piece, like the snails, and those having a Bhell in two pieces hinged at the hack, like the oyesters and clams. The one-piece shells are called "univalves” and the two-piece shells "bivalves.” All the land shells are univalves, but the shells round in the water may be either univalves or bivalves. Besides these two great classes, there Is another kind which is much less common, in which the shell consists of eight overlapping plates connected by a leathery girdle. These “coat-of-mail” shells, the chitons, are found wholly In salt water. They cling to the rocks with extraordinary force, and when they are dislodged they promptly curl up like a pill bug, and must be put in salt water or on a moist surface before they will relax. Among the common bivalves found on or near the seashore Are the oyster, clam, mussel, scallop, cockle, razor shells, and the teredo pr shipworm. All of these are mollusks. jgACuticura Loveliness A Clear v\ \ tX Healthy Skin rVv\\ i\ terra 1
