posledny tyzden priniesol O.

STAR AND TITLE.
WINNERS TOLD
TOMORROW

BY the Movie Game Editor
Tomorrow is the big day for the
thousands who entered the Movie
Star and Title Game, published in
The Washington Times for five
weeks from october 81 to Decem-
Der 5.
1t will be a big day because The
Times will print the names of the
35 winners who will share total
awards of $1,000.
During the past week the judges
Of the game have been working
hard, and every single entry has
been inspected carefully. The win
ners have been chosen on the basis
Of accuracy, neatness and sim
plicity" in the answers to the SO
puzzle pictures Of which the game
consisted.
Hundreds upon hundreds Of
packages, enclosing scrapbooks,
tiny "theaters" and other methods
of compiling the answers have
been opened, carefully analyzed
and either laid aside or placed
among the chosen few selected for
prizes.
Practically every entry was found
to have four or more answers in
correct, the Judges report. These
could be eliminated Immediately,
but those containing three or less
wrong answers were put apart for
special consideration.
OF these, it was found the prizes
must be awarded among entries
having two or less answers incor-
rect, Of which only four entries
were declared inadmissible for the
awards. Only eeght entries were
completely right.
The judges are Andrew R. Kel-
ley, dramatic editor Of The Wash
ington Times; Carter Barron, divi-
sion manager for LOew's, Inc:
John j. Payette, zone manager for
Warner Bros, and Hardie Meakin,
manager director of RKO Keith's

RIVER
FOR BIG DAM

superiatives were almost ex-
hausted today by the Department
of Interior in announcing that
the Bureau Of Reclamation has
succeeded in rerouting the Colum'
bia River to make way for ths
construction OF Grand CouIee
Dam.
A measure of credit was given
Old Dame Nature In the feat, how
ever, with the admission that the
Columbia-Second largest river in
America-had been thrown out OF
bed before. That was some 10000
years ago when glaciers of the Ice
Age anticipated the Interior De-
partment's engineers by diverting
the flow at the same spot. 1t
was conceded that the path worn
by that ancient torrent is being
reutilized.
Described as "the most diff
cult" engineering accomplishment
yet undertaken in the construc-
ton Of Grand Coulee-"the
worlds most massive dam"-the
diversion was accomplished by the
insertion of a temporary Golfer
dam across the channel Of the
nightly Columbia.
Built of enough lumber to load
five ships" the eofferdam pushed
the river into q horseshoe course
leaving one segment of the bed
free for the pouring Of concrete
for foundations.
Before the freShets Of next
spring arrive, the Interior Depart
ment said, the cofferdam will be
high enough to divert 725,0O0
cubic feet Of water per second.
"the greatest flow Of the flood of
June, 1894. the largest flow Of
record"

Carl Sandburg.

Many, surely, must feel some debt of
gratitude to Wilson Teachers College for
bringing Carl Sandburg to Washington.
Indeed, it may be wondered if anything
more inspiring than his appearance in
the Nations Capital has happened in
long time. Seeing him and hearing him
talk, read and sing was refreshing
experience.
Sandburg may not be a poet in the
narrow meaning of the word. But there
can be no question about the elemental
music In his soul. He belongs to the
fundamental American type Of human
stock-like Lincoln and Edison, Will
Rogers, Orville and Wilbur Wright,
Henry Ford. In character, temperament
and personality he is native to his coun-
try. Let him travel anywhere abroad,
he would be recognized at once as
product of the American scene, Ameri-
can conditions, American advantages and
limitations.
And such men are vastly needed just
now. In them the future as well A. the
past lives, pulses, has vigorous being.
But because they have ''ths inquiring
mind" modesty and reticence they are
apt 70 b forgotten. The panic rampage

The Teddy Influence.

Like Ben Webster in the comic strip
whose life is being directed by his father
from the grave, Theodore Roosevelt is
having an unusual influence over ma
tional affairs these days. For one thing,
he has Col. Frank Knox, Republican
presidential candidate, hunting lions.
Publicity issued by the colonel's cam
paign headquarters in Chicago gives an
item under Phoenix, Ariz., date, reading:
For the second time in modern history
a fighting colonel has the West gasping
for breath"
According to this publicity, mot since
the days when Col. Theodore Roosevelt
used to tour the West has anybody seen
one man keep such strenuous schedule"
and "he has recently extended 1t to in
clude lion hunting in the wild mountain
country"
The colonel is the only one who has
gone this far in emulation Of the great
Teddy, but the others frequently invoke
his name. AS a matter of fact, President
Roosevelt has frequently drawn on his
name for support and at exercises in
his honor recently likened himself, by
inference, to his illustrious kinsman.
Senator Borah preceded the announce
ment of his candidacy with letter to
Teddy Roosevelt, the younger, saying
what was needed was another trust
buster like his father. Senator Norris
of Nebraska may have unwittingly
started the whole business. Meditating
upon affairs in his Office one afternoon
back in early 1882, he observed: What
this country needs is another Roosevelt. "
That gave considerable impetus to the
present Presidents candidacy which was
Just getting under way and may have
been the beginning of the beautiful
friendship between Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Senator.
OF course, the Republicans insist that
the people got the wrong Roosevelt when
they took Franklin D., an error that
the lion hunting Col Knox, the lion
biting Senator Borah and others will
do all they can to rectify.

Of more confident and less liberal leaders
tramples them down; their philosophy is
overwhelmed by dogmas, their melodies
Of the spirit are lost in noise.
Sandburg, however, is not pessimistic.
Keen student of folk history and folk
art as he so notably is, he smiles at the
tumult and keeps sweet" After
thousand years, perhaps, the clamor
will subside, and when it does new gen.
erations will rediscover the old themes
still possessed of their ancient charm,
still rife with quiet magic which cannot
die, still instinct with whispered beauty
which cannot fade.
For discouraged people Sandburg is
marvellous tonic. To meet him Is to
begin to hope again.

sive leadership" within the common
meaning of the adjectives. But under
the gag rules laid down by the Budget
Bureau it is about as far as the Com
missioners can 90 without placing their
jobs in jeopardy. And it Is impossible to
reconcile any such condition with the
elementary principles of a democracy.
It emphasizes the fact that people in the
District are not only deprived Of any
participation in their government, but
that those appointed to administer their
local government and in theory to rep
resent them are vigorously confined to
the passive role of submitting recon-
mendations to Federal bureau. If that
bureau says mo-" they are effectively
silenced by rules as binding as those
laid down by any Fascist autocrat.
Fearless and aggressive leadership"
in presenting the needs Of this voteless
community and demanding that they be
met should of course be displayed by the
Commissioners. But if Budget Bureau
rules make mere automatons of them the
responsibility of leadership in such a
matter as securing from Congress ade-
quate public-health protection appropri-
ations naturally rests upon such organ
izations Of citizens as the Medical So
ciety.
In the meantime the Budget Bureaus
response to the new request for funds
and the provisions of the District appro-
priation bill for 1897, soon to be reported
from committee, are awaited with in

Yourself prepare to educate
To be a busy man.
You'll have to learn to talk all day
And also all the night.
You'll have to hear what others say;
You'll also have to write.
Repose afar your toll will keep.
Brief is your slumber sweet.
A war horse has to learn to sleep
While standing on his feet.
You'll have to have an iron fist
And cultivate your voice
Till nothing can it's sound resist
When lifted to rejoice.

You raise your mighty row,
It may turn out that Cruel Fate

Notebook of Science Progress in Field,

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Five victims of serious heart ailments
who supposedly were doomed to spend
the rest of their lives in bed at Gallinger
Hospital have been restored practically
to their normal activities by surgery, it
was reported at faculty symposium of
the George Washington University
School of Medicine by Drs. Paul F.
Dickens and Charles S. White.
The operation consisted in complete
removal of the thyroid gland thus slow
ing down the body metabolism and the
rate of heart beat Thus the loads on
the weakened hearts were reduced, and
the victims enabled to carry on the
moderate activities necessary for earning
their own livings.
These patients all had passed from
IS to 40 months bedridden in the hos
pital at the time of the operations. They
had every expectation of spending their
lives there. They had suffered repeated
attacks of heart failure which were
likely to be brought on by exertions of
any sort. About the only relief that
could be afforded them was by admin
istrations of digitalis which were valu-
able only for the emergencies and
brought about no improvement in the
condition
There have been no bad physical or
mental effects of the thyroid operation
to date, the two physicians reported. The
thyroid gland, an organ of internal
secretion, pours into the blood stream a
minute amount of hormone, thyroXin,
which has very potent effects-but the
lack of it can be overcome by adminis-
tration of thyroxin, in prescribed dos
ages, by the patients themselves.
In this way it practically is possible
to regulate the body metabolism, and
hence the load placed on the heart, by
the conditions of the heart itself. 1t
is by no means impossible that in the
course of time diseased heart will come
back to normal-in which case adequate
thyroXin administration can restore the
activities of the individual to normal.
There is. presumably, no effect on the
length of life. Thus, the records show,
the first man who was given thyroXin
to take the place of the secretion of
removed thyroid died in 1919 at "a,
after being in this condition since 1891.
The operation, Drs. Dickens and
White stress, Is not original here, but
still is quite rare surgical procedure.
1t was first performed experimentally on
dogs as early as 1859 and in 1883 was
successful with human being. It was
rarely resorted to, however, until 1880,
when it was revived and the technique
perfected by Boston surgeons.

Smithsonian Institution paleontol-
ogists are putting the finishing touches
on q restoration of the skeleton of the
giant "clawed horse" Of nearly 40,000,0 600
years ago.
The bones, obtained from a Nebraska
quarry, have been joined together piece
by piece, after much study, until the
result is believed to be fair repre-
sentation of the actual animal. This Is
one of the half dozen attempted restora-
tions In America and Europe.
The creature, known scientifically as
Moropus elatus, was one Of the most
fantastic of the creatures that lived In
North America during the Miocepe pc.
riod. It was somewhat larger than o
plow horse Of today, but Ia appearance
Evening star., 1936-02-27

probably was more like the rare okapi
of African jungles than any other liv-
ing creature. It had long neck, high
forequarters, short, downward-sloping
back and long, stout legs. How 1t ever
was able to get its mouth to the ground
to drink puzzles the paleontologists.
From the structure of it's body this must
have been very difficult.
It belonged 70 the general group of
lower Miocene vegetation eaters from
which evolved the horse, the rhinoceros,
the tapirs, and the extinct titanotheres.
1t was closer to the horse than to any
of the others, but yet was an entirely
distinct animal. 1t cannot be consid-
cred either as an extinct horse, or as
in the direct line Of horse ancestry.
A distinctive feature of the animal
consisted Of the heavy, sharp, curved
claws-about inches long-which it had
instead of hoofs on all four feet. These
presumably were used as weapons of
defense or offense. They hardly could
have been used to grub in the soil for
food. The noropus is believed to have
lived in swampy forests and to. have
fed chiefly on leaves and twigs, like the
present-day okapi. It was the largest
and probably the most fearsome creature
of its time. Its companions in the Mio-
Gene forests were all members OF a
mammalian fauna which has been ex-
tinct for millions of years. The most
conspicuous creatures aside from the
clawed horse itself, were a giant pig
and dwarf rhinoceros.
The restoration has been made by
Thomas Horne, under the supervision
of DR.. C. w. Gilmore, curator of verte-
brate paleontology.

A comprehensive physical picture Of
the American Indian as he was before
the infiltration of alien blood had con-
fused his anatomical characters, has just
been issued by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, Gu
rator of physical anthropology of the
Smithsonian Institution. This consti-
tutes basic data on the aboriginal Amer
ican race-or important Segments OF 1t
to which DR.. Hrdlicka has devoted
nearly 40 years of study. 1t deals with
the complex Of peoples whose forefathers
inhabited much of the Southwestern
United States and Northern Mexico,
at the time of the first white explora-
tions and who had built up there one
of the most remarkable of the aboriginal
New World cultures, known broadly as
that of the Pueblos.
DR.. Hrdlicka found that the Pueblos
were a mixed lot from far back. The
figures show distinct evidence Of both
a long-headed and broad-headed Indian
component. There were distinct differ
ences from the white race in nearly all
the mean measurements. These depend
largely on hereditary factors. but also
are due somewhat to the effects Of diff
ferent environments and ways Of life.
He found, however, striking similarities
in the two races in the morphological
laws that regulate development Of
structure.
"These basic similarities," he says,
"speak convincingly on the one hand for
the unity of the human species and on
the other hand for the not-too-far-back
separations Of the white race and Of that
which gave eventually the American
Indian"
