While the cabinet designated the

Stimson Advocates

Former Secretary Of Stote
Says Fleet May Need Boses
In America
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, June 19.-Henry L.
Stimson, Secretary of State during
the Hoover administration. last
night advocated that the United
States throw open all of our ports
to the British and French naval and
merchant marine for all repairs, re-
fueling and other services"
In a speech broadcast nationally
Stimson declared successive air at
tacks on naval bases in Great Brit
ain might force its fleet from. the
Atlantic and deprive 1t Of power.
"On the other hand" he contin-
ued, IF assured Of our supplies, and
OF the use of our bases, it could In
all probability continue to command
that ocean and our own fleet could
devote itself to holding the Pacific
against the manifest dangers which
may face us there"
He contended the United States
Navy and maritime forces of France
and Britain should work in "har-
monious cooperation"
'We should not be compelled help
lessly to await attack" Stimson as
serted, while a powerful aggressor
chose his own opportunity"
Stimson recommended also that
the United States repeal provisions
of "our ill-starred so-called neutral
ity venture, accelerate by every
means the sending of planes and
other munitions to Britain and
France, if necessary in our own ships
and under convoy"
I'VE should open our lands as
refuge for the children and old peo-
pie of Britain" he added.
We should at once adopt system
OF universal compulsory training and
service, which would not only be
the most potent evidence that we are
in earnest but which is at the pres
ent moment imperative if we are to
have men ready to operate the
planes and other munitions, the Gre
alton of which Congress has just
authorized by practically unani-
nous vote"
Stimson said America should not
be fooled by the evident bluff of
Hitler's SO called fifth column
movements in South America"
They are, on the face of them. at
tempts to frighten us from sending
help where it will be most effec-
tive" he said. I'VE should combat
the defeatist arguments which are
being made in this country as to
the unconquerable power of Ger
many.
Il believe that if we use our brains
and curb our prejudices we can, by
keeping command of the sea, beat
her again as we did in 1918.
I'm these ways and with the old
American spirit of courage and
leadership behind them I believe
we should find our people ready
to take their proper part in this
threatened world and to carry
through to victory. freedom and re-
construction"

Let us as naturalists place each
subject where it properly belongs. In
this way we will always find it easier
to obtain the information we wish
to have. This is particularly true OF
the horned lizards, wrongly called
horned toads. Once the difference
Is known, you can see why they
should never be confused with each
other IN your thought.
You will find horned lizards only
In the western part of the United
States and in Mexico. These lizards
have q very wide, and exceedingly
nat, toad-shaped body, which is the
only similarity they do have to
toads. The head and temple are
covered with sharp, conical horns
and the back is clothed in tiny
granular scales. Giant sized, sharp
ly pointed scales resembling small
pyramids are buried in the skin
and scattered among the minute
scales. No toad ever had such an
array Of bayonets.
Douglass horned lizard is known
IN the northern Pacific district
which includes the slopes of the
Sierra Nevada range. It is dis

New York World 'sFair
Opens Today for
Second Season
Affuir Aimed This Year
At Average Man in Hope
Of Getting Out Of Red
~ the Associates Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May lin q gilt
tering county fair atmosphere, with
the accent on fun instead Of formal
ity, the $l6o.0oo,o 900 New York
Worlds Fair opened today for its
second season.
Contrasting with the starched
pomp and circumstance of opening
day last year, the program was
aimed directly. openly and un-
ashamedly at average people in the
hope Of coming out of the red.
The formal opening was set for
10 am, but confirmed fairgoers-
either county or world-were on
hand long before that hour to cape
ut the colorful and spectacular lay
out Of grounds, gardens and build
tngs on the Flushing meadows.
The electric tempo Of opening
day was sparked by zooming squad
rons Of airplanes, booming salutes,
the raising of flags and banners,
blaring bands and costumed and
uniformed marchers by the thou
sands. .....
The dignitaries present had fair
warning to lay dignity aside. A few
speeches were on the program, to be
sure, but they were brief and even
Gov. Lehman was down for only 10
minutes to dedicate the fair to ''lib-
erty and freedom" q particularly
significant dedication.
Mayor La Guardia, scissors in
hand, was ready to snip the gay
ribbon across the administration
gate entrance for the traditional
"ofncial" opening and to signal the
start Of the opening day parade
through the exposition grounds to
the court of peace.
There, in addition to the Governor
and the Mayor, Fair President Gro
yer Whalen was on the program and
Harvey Gibson, the banker turned
Snowman, who Is chairman of the
Fair Board, was master Of cere-
monies.
Representatives Of foreign exhib-
itors at the fair, in native costume,
military and naval units, Boy Scouts,
. 20-mule prairie schooner flanked
by frontiersmen afoot and on horse
back, were listed for the parade.
A prominent place in line was
reserved for Elmer" the typical
average American for whom the
fair has been designed and priced
this year. The, fair people have
spent some $8,000,000 revamping
the fair for Elmer and his friends
and neighbors.
Thereu be more festivities tonight
at the on1cial opening of the amuse-
ment area.
