This Amazing Planet
The dodo was q bird blu is no more

tor stop in front of his case without
laughing.
The dodo lived a peaceful life in the
forests of Mauritius, an uninhabited
island. He was unable to fly, but that
made no difference, for he had few
enemies.
In 1898 Dutch exploring party
under the leadership of Jacob Van
Neck discovered the island and told
the world of the dodo's existence.
Apparently the latter didn't make a
hit as an article of food with the Dutch
sailors, even though they had only to
knock him on the head to procure a
meal. But by later visitors he is en-
Enthusiastically mentioned as being fat
and juicy.
Mauritius was colonized in 1914,
and that was the dodo's death knell.
BY 100 he had passed into the limbo
of history.
But number of artists sketched
him, and several skeletons remained
to posterity. One stuffed specimen
found its way to Oxford. but the au-
thorities didn't know what it was and
ordered it destroyed. Only the head
and right foot were saved.
In 1907 we exchanged the skeleton
of Right whale for the bones of a
dodo. In the Hall of Flying Birds they
stand for one and all to see, together
with feathered reconstruction made
by Rowland Ward of London.

Don't Force Swing to Get Distance Can't Keep Left
 Arm Straight Then
By ART KRENZ (NEA Service Golf Writer)

Alex Duthie of Vancouver holds a unique golf record. While play ing in threesome at the Vancouver Golf and Country club in British Columbia, Alex stepped up on the third tee and smacked ball on the fly into the cup.
 On the very next tee, after plac- ing his ball on a small mound of sand, Alex said, Here goes another one. Watch it."
 It was another ace. Two holes in-one in succession.
 There is @ limit to the amount of distance certain players of size and weight can achieve in hitting a golf ball. Dissatisfied, many play CTS, striving fors distance greater than they possibly can attain, throw their swing out of line by too much forcing.
 Length and accuracy will be theirs only when they acquire the habit of the straight left arm throughout the swing, especially at impact.

 Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 26- (UP)-A tennis test of the survival of the fittest reached a tougher stage today as play in the mems and women's division of the 57th annual national doubles champion ships advanced to the quarter fi- nals.
 The days play brings together those bracked in the upper half. Those in the lower half compete for semi-final berths tomorrow. Meanwhile. the mixed doubles com- petitions continue with veterans and fathers-and-sons playing the second round.
 Most of the fireworks in the quarter finals were expected to be staged in the match between the worlds topranking tandem. Don Budge and Gene Mako against fel- low-C Californians Bobby Riggs and Bernard Coghlan.
 On the basis of past performances in the tourney, Budge and Mako will have to be at their best to es- cape elimination. Yesterday the Davis cup heroes were forced to five sets before defeating a pair of comparative unknowns, Gardner Mulloy, Miami, Fla, and Alfred Jarvis. Tenafly, N. J., 6-1. 3-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1.
 Mulloy gave the defending cham pions plenty of trouble with his smashing volleys and brilliant re- turn of service.
 Meanwhile. the Riggs s-Coghlan combination boasted an upset ivic- tory over the English Davis cup aces, George P. Hughes and Charles Hare, 4-6, 6-4, 11-9, 10-8 the Britons were third-ranking on the foreign list and their conquerors were fifty seeded on the domestic list.
 The other mems quarter-final match of the day brings together Gregory Mangin, New York, and Jiro Yamagishi, Japan, and the team of Wayne Sabin. Los Angeles, and Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, Atlanta Ga, the latter busted Nipponese netmen Hideo Nishimura and Fumi- teru Nakano. 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Sometimes the group contains hairlines and lines of tiny dots. There are also lines made up entirely of pin dots. AL most invariably these effects are or, dark grounds, especially on "dress-
