Specimen, 500,000 Years Old, Unearthed Near San Antonio
The historical jawbone that Sampson used to pacify the Philistines, in the Bible story, had nothing on the jawbone of the Elephas Columbi, or Columbian elephant, which now reposes in the museum of Main Avenue High School. The two fragments of the jawbone measure, together, two feet in length. Each is about nine inches in height and six inches in thickness.
Embedded in each of the fragments are two teeth, each six inches long, four inches wide and extend about eight inches into the jawbone proper. The upper surfaces of each tooth are serrated and convoluted into ridges about one-quarter of an inch apart. The crown of the teeth is of a pearl white enamel in an excellent state of preservation. The dentin, or outer surface of the teeth, that part below the crown, has changed into a friable, chalk-like substance.

Story of the Greatest Tragedy in the World
EDITORIAL
The greatest tragedy in the world occurred in the lives of five Seattle boys Friday.
The dog-catcher got their dogs!
More than 1,000 boys trooped merrily to Volunteer park to take part in The Star’s annual coaster race. Naturally their dogs went along., There must have been more than 100, barking at the heels of their small owners, chasing the flying coasters and having the time of their lives.
Maybe every man has a heart. We don’t know. Perhaps they have ’em and, on some days, they’re not in working order. But we can’t see how any man with a heart could have interfered with that juvenile celebration by calling the dog-catcher.
