why in this insure, disjointed

They passed a shop window
where dusty little dolls in peas
ant costumes, green and red,
with Norwegian flags in the

ridged hills, like giants, gazed
down at the little shelf of land
where the town lay, in terrible
peace, between them and the

waters of the harbor. The pig

At the first program session dur

tain, assistant surgeon general of the
United States Public Health Service,
advised as one means of solving the
nursing shortage that steps be taken
to prevent such large percentage of
nurses from leaving the profession
after they enter 1t. He said the pro-
posals to increase student enrolment
and accelerate training courses had
merit, but that neither tended to re-
duce Withdrawals.
He said that the use of unpaid
auxiliary workers in hospitals Of
fered only temporary solution and
that the suggestion that conscien-
tious objectors be employed in this
connection is almost in the nature
of a bill Of attainder, and would
make of hospital work form of
punishment.
Fundamentally" DR.. Mountain
said, "the entire hospital problem
revolves around one basic contra
diction. That is, the medical and
hospital heirarchies are trying to
perform social service according to
the rules Of private competitive en-
terprise.
Insofar as the problem involves
the nurses, am sure that any rem
edy will depend on action taken by
the nurses themselves. The present
dispensation, according to which
nurses work out their education and
then continue to subsidize their en-
ployers by accepting substandard
pay is to the interest of neither the
profession nor the public"

Kraken is the term of old Morse legends
for giant squids. and it is still the common
everyday expression in Norway for these ten
armed marine monstrosities
There is no doubt that the captain of the
Alecton encountered a giant Kraken, or squd
for his log accurately described the monster
At first everybody laughed as they shud-
dered in horror at Jules Vernes tale of the
krakens and Captain Memo. But within four
short years scientists had to sit back and take
real notice when a huge squid attacked
small fishing dory off the Newfoundland
Banks in 1873
This squid was doing at the surface when
the dory came upon it, One of the crew was
so unwise to give the creature resounding
crack with an oar.
Instantly the furies of the deep came to
life. The squd struck the side of the little
boat with its parrot-like beak.
Then II shot out its two long tentacles and
entwined them about the boat.
All that saved the lives of the men was
one seaman who grabbed axe and severed
the great arms as they lay across the gun
vale.
Injured and disabled, the squid dived and
elected its inky black sepia fluid that dark
ened the water for 100 yards. 1t was never
seen again.
The fishermen estimated that this marine
giant was 60 feet across. No one knows
exactly how long its tentacles were, but the

schooner.
If you look back at the legends of sea-
serpents and other weird monsters that were
supposed to people the oceans in the time of
remarkable that the discover OF America was
ever able to assemble crew of men tough
enough and hard-boiled enough to man his
ships
In the late 1400s legends of fantastic
dragons, unicorns, mermaids and sirens and
great devil-fish and other monsters were ram
pant throughout Europe.
Most people believed these tales for few
people ever ventured far from home and had
no way to check up on such yarns. Their only
accounts came from not-too-truthfu travel
lers Of which Ulysses was still earlier ex-
ample
II was Ulysses who went 90 the Trojan
war and did not return home 10 his wife
until ten years after the war was finished.
The tales which Ulysses dug up TO explain his
absence TO Penelope his wife are still mas
terpiece Of literature and goal which AWOL
husbands still try to attain
Columbus sailed the Atlantic with his men
fearing the slithering arms that might reach

For the next 500 years scientists discount
ted stories Of Krakens and giant octopuscs as
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-04-26

tells of an octopus who had the habit or the
skill Of graspng small stone In its tentacles
and dropping it into the opened jaws Of an
oyster.
This prevented the jaws from closing and
made dinner an easy chore for the octopus.
Oysters, shrimps and Holsters are the IA
vorite food Of octopuses and squids They
are all meat eaters Only few years ago
the lobstermen of the British Isles were up
In arms because octopuses kept ravaging their
lobster pots.
Whales are the enemy Of squids and the
hornlike beaks Of squids, that closely resemble
a parrots beak have often been found in
side whales.
Another evidence of brains in an octopus
is that some of them have been smart enough
to learn to take food from the human hand
That is take the food without the hand
Most octopuses the true isolationists
of the world and in captivity they crawl to
the back part of their tanks and seek OBJ
scurity among the rocks and stones in which
they love to hide.
But the New York Aquarium once
received p. T. Barnum Snowman kind Of
octopus 1t liked nothing better than TO
crawl to the front Of its tank and spread its
eight arms to the delight and horror Of the
constant stream of visitors who came TO see IL.
Keeper James Blair one day held out
two-nch crab to this small octopus. (Big
ones are hard to capture and cannot be shown
with safety anyway.
The sinister creature stuck out one tentacle
toward the food and then pulled It away.
Finally it took courage and touched Blairs
hand Then il took the crab and ate IT. After
that IL was only a matter Of patience by
Mr.. Blair.
He finally trained the octopus so that IL
did not fear his hand and on one occasion
held on TO his wrist for 20 minutes while il
ate-with the help of it's other seven arms
the morsel of crab
For a while the New York Aquarium
thought II had the only trained octopus in the
world but 1t was later learned that a similar
octopus lived at the aquarium in Monaco.
Contrary to popular opinion the movements
of squids and octopuses are carried out, only
a little, by the motions OF their many arms
or tentacles. Sometimes they will crawl over
the ocean floor awkwardly by this means.
But when they really want 10 go places
in a hurry they apply the principles Of pro-
pulsion which Buck Rogers and inventors of
rockets prefer They use jet propulsion. Only
they do it in water instead Of interplanetary
space.
Squids and octopuses have device in their
bodies known as a siphon which is used 10
pump water through them so that they may
extract the oxygen and breathe TO live
When they wish TO move in a hurry and
this applies especially TO squids they simply
contract their bodies strongly and the stream
of water comes out as a powerful jet The
kick" of this stream of water against the
surrounding stationary sea water forces them
onward with their great tentacles trailing far
behind them.

sections which were chopped off measured
% feet in length and were 10 inches thick.
With such evidence at hand, scientists at
first skeptical-began to revise their previous
opinions about Krakens and similar marine
monsters.
When they studied all the evidence they
realized that in the giant squids they perhaps
had the explanation also of the tales of great
sea-serpents which have persisted down
through the ages
Unduating in the waves, and seen from
a little distance, the great tentacles of a

certainly look like
what legend said a
sea-serpent ought to
look like.
1t is a far cry from
little, i'm m o bile
clans. oysters and
scallops, which so
many people eat with
relish, to the great
squids and octopuses.
Yet these marine
giants have evolved
from the oysters and
clans; only they have
lost their hard outer
shell and have grown
from eight to ten
great arms.
Squids and octo-
puses and the oysters
and CLAIMS all belong
to that class Of ami
mails called the inver-
tebrates. This means
they do not have in-a
ternal skeletons like
fish, or birds, or ami
mails or man.
Yet invertebrates
have a brain. or at
least the beginning
of a brain, and In
squids and octopuses
this brain is very
complex and highly
developed. In their
way they are the
Einsteins of their
kind.
Science knows that
squids and octopuses
have a good brain
but just how well
they can think with
it, is still a mystery.
No psychologist ever
set out to measure
the IQ. Of an octo-
pus.
Yet there are many
accounts which show
that octopuses have

just so much supersti-
tious nonsense. But
the stories persisted.
Finally - about the
time of the Civil War
in the United States
- naturalists set to
work TO see if there
really were great sea
monsters and what
they would be like if
they did exist.
Good sized squids,
science now admits,
may reach a weight of
a ton. But in 1861 the
French corvette Alec
ton captured one which
probably weighed twice
as much and was able
TO put up a regular
naval engagement with

imagination. But researchers and movie
genuses settled in the picture for a huge
rubber squid
When the famous old fiction writers Of the
dime novel days and Jules Verne excited The
imagination and horror of an earlier genera
ton with accounts OF such adventures as the
fight between Captain Memo and the Krakens
IN Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea" and when Victor Hugo dug up his
version Of the exploits of the devil-fsh TO
hghlight his story "Toiers Of the Sea there
was considerable skepticism among scientists
over the very existence of such creatures
even Of smaller size.
Today such skepticism has almost disap-
peared II Jules Verne and Victor Hugo are
criticized 1t is only because they were not too
exact in describing the kind of animals they
discussed and because they exaggerated the
supposed dimensions.
Today nobody doubts that giant ten-armed
squids can grow arms that over so feet
across when spread out 90 full extent or that
they weigh a ton.
