Never Wins

Those who copy screen stars
should lways remember the
actress who plays the role of an
unscrupulous siren is just play
ing a role. She. through her
conniving, may win and capti-
vate most men but be sure to
wait for the end of the picture
and see this same siren put in
her place. Successful stars know
know the siren in natural life
will never become a star.
The carefree, natural girl
needs no posed roles to put her
over. neither does she need
props such as garish makeup.
extra high heels, long black
wells and the like. She thinks
such things are funny. Natural
friendliness always attracts
more admirers than insincere
ridiculous sophistication.
q Intriguing
Men are often intrigued by
the sophisticate, they are, as
they say curious TO know what
makes her tick" They may even
forget the real girl for a while.
They think it's fun to be seen
in their company and to parade
them abetit before their friends.
This little siren will have TO
be a fine natural girl at heart
though to hold him. She may
be just playing a role. If he
finds she is insincere and self
ish he will come flying back to
the girl he understands, the one
he knows feels sympathetic TO
his interests, the girl who likes
to laugh and never makes her
self ridiculous.
The real secret OF charm Is
open to every girl whether she
is plain or beautiful. II is first

as soon as lights are turned on, street
lamps have been cut down to meet mill
tary requirements and shop windows are
blscked out. Amusing things have come
about as result of this regulation. A
row of shops in one town, for example,
showed completely black windows and
doors with the word open" chalked on
the glass In white. In the midst OF the
row was one shop which was unoccupied.
It's windows were not blacked-out, and
on one of them was written the word
Closed" Some one has compared the
present conditions with the prohibition
era, when many places were full OF
gayety behind dark doors. 1t gives one

Otherwise life for the vacationer on
the Sho goes on about as in years past.
Bathers bask on the sand and splash in
the waves and promenaders stroll along

not to scare. They are signs, in fact,
which point entirely to the fact that, on
the Eastern Shore, as elsewhere, Uncle
Sam Is alertly on the job.

Before arriving at the University Of

Tests Are Rigorous.
To be eligible for basic. intermediate
and advanced flying at the Corpus
Christi Naval Air Station or at Pensacola
or Jacksonville, young Doe has success
fully passed rigorous physical and mem
tai examinations. He passed physical
instruction courses at a pre-flight uni
versity and elimination flight instruction
at one of the Naval Reserve aviation
bases.
He wants wings-but he has been
fearful that any one Of the various steps
to basic training would find him physi-
cally or nervously unsuited to flying.

picked from the ranks. One for lacking

NORMAN, Okla Before he eventually
succeeded in educating himself as
scientist, j. Willis Stovall Allied many
unique jobs, much as selling In Arkansas,
bossing sidewalk construction gangs on
the Texas University campus, and COLI
lecting bug specimens in Tennessee.
But If Stovall's methods OF working his
way through college seem extraordinary,
his chosen life career may be described as
almost weird: His work is that Of bone.

AS q trained vertebrate paleontologist,
he has set himself the task of digging
up and classifying bones that will aid
science In solving the mystery Of the
origin and evolution OF animal and man,
by tracing the life and death, appear
ance and disappearance Of prehistoric
animals on earth.
He has recently found some important
missing links. His latest discovery was
made near Aztec, N. Mex-a new species
of herb eating dinosaur, q three-horned
fellow about 80 feet long whose skull had
a backward extension OF bone that re-
minds one of the neck-frills worn by the
ladies of Queen Elizabeth's time.
Nine new species have been unearthed
by Stovall in the last IL years.

Stovall joined the University Of Okla
homa faculty in 1880, when the South
west was new frontier in paleontology.
1t became a happy hunting ground for
him. He assembled at the University Of
Oklahoma at Norman vertebrate pale
ontology museum valued at quarter of
q million dollars.
Stovall has excavated some Of the
worlds most perfect remains of the al
ready-known, big, tough and ugly crea-
lures. A visit to his museum Is sug-
gestive Of Halloween
In September. 194l, Stovall received
new WPA grant Of $4,000 to continue
his excavations, one OF 4 series received
annually since 1888. Alumni trained by
stovan in his department Of geology are
busy In Texas and various parts Of the
Southwest.

Their bone-digging activities were far

However. the results made up for the
discomforts. One dinosaur is new type
Of herb-eater about 13 feet long and
feet tall, with head II inches long. It
had 4 turtlelike beak and sharp, crenu-
lated teeth.
The other is flesh eater about IS
feet long and about Is feet tall. 1t had
an enormous head, and. although 1t had
small peanut type of brain, its big teeth
more than made up for deficiencies in
the size Of its thinking apparatus. About
4 inches long. these teeth were saberlike

whiplike tail which probably was used
as balancing organ while he stalked
through the jungle on two legs, waving
his talonlike arms, and opening his huge
mouth.
The condition Of the skeleton of this
fellow suggests that he was either very
belligerent or else stone blind. Many Of
his bones indicate that they were broken
and then healed during his lifetime. He
could have broken them either in fight-
ing or In walking bhndly over blum ana
