SITUATION DOUBTFUL

The situation in the three larger

OF the schools are nevertheless pre-

"As soon as possible hurried to

moved the bark with my pocket
knife and smoothed down the trunk.
Then I carved my name at the top
and painted the cane red white and

Most of you have never lived in

Is a "colonia,' or suburb. of Mexico

of the Mexican vendors who sell
from house to house, pushing their
wares through the streets in carts.
Our house is typically Spanish.
with white walls, tile roof and patio.
Still. it has American touches, in
cluding familiar flowers, such as
eeraniums, nasturtiums and snap
dragons.
We recently visited town called
"Fortin For-teen) of the Flowers. y
1t is a beautiful place, and the hotel
there is gorgeous. Daddy bought a
dozen orchids for 40 cents, not 40
cents apiece but for the whole dozen.
When we went away, the Mexican
children hung gardenia leis around
our necks and a 3-yard-long string

Yes, Mexico is a lovely place to
live, and a lifetime would not be
enough to enjoy all its wonders.

| In the United States that's a scene
you'd see quite often. All the better
financed geological gardens have
their own hospitals, where the
animal patients are brought for
treatment and observation. Just like
human beings, ZOO animals have all
ments-often caused by their own
stupidity. But the ZOO veterinarian
has difficult job. His patients can't
tell him what's wrong with them
and they're often not very cooper
ative when he tries to find out
Only the smaller animals, however,
are brought to the hospital. AS a
rule, the patient is lured into trap
box baited with his favorite food.
When he enters the door automati-
cally drops. Then it's generally a
simple matter to take the box to the
hospital, where the patient is given
an anesthetic and the treatment
begins. Sometimes slip-ups do occur.
One female lynx with a damaged
foot came out of the ether rather
suddenly. The operating room was
turned into bring 'er back alive"
expedition for q few minutes.
With the larger animals, of course,
it's a different matter. No one has
yet devised practical way Of getting
an elephant, rhinoceros or giraffe on
an operating table. They're treated
in their cages or penS-often with
considerable difficulty, especially in
the case of the rhinO.
1t is not too tough to lure the
rhino over loops of lassos lying on
the ground Then the keepers
standing safely outside the cage
pull the ropes tight around his legs
and roll him over. But it has taken
as many as IL men to hold a rhino
down while the anesthetic is admin
istered, and the big animals fight
sleep so hard that it often requires
21a pounds Of ether and chloroform
to put them away.
Elephants are good patients. They
seem to realize that the treatment Is
for their benefit and stand quietly
while the work is being done. Ele-
plants feet thicken from lack of
exercise in captivity and they must
be trimmed about every six months.
Otherwise the growth cracks and the
feet pick up foreign matter which
works its way up into the quick.
One big fellows feet picked up
teaspoon. an iron nail, the handle
of a penknife and pair of dice in
few months!
Especially when just brought from
the tropics, elephants are apt to
develop stomach aches and may roll
on the ground in agony. The treat
ment for this is huge mustard
plaster wrapped between two large
blankets. The cure is topped off by
dose of gin and ginger. One elephant
developed such liking for the last
half of the treatment that he rolled
on the ground in feigned distress
about once a week. He didn't stop
until the cure was reduced to just
a mustard plaster.
The big cats-lions. tigers, ETC.
also have foot trouble in captivity.
IN general, they are pulled to the
fronts of their cages by ropes and
their heads held by iron bars while
the veterinarian goes to work.
One big tigress put up such a

fight that the rope method was dis
carded as impractical But she had
her feet trimmed anyway. At night,
while she was asleep keeper noise
lessly thrust pole through the bars
Of her cage. On the pole was large
wad Of chloroform-soaked cotton
In half-dazed condition, the tigress
was an easy subject for trimming.
Monkeys and the bigger apes also
make excellent patients. Though
some members of the family. like the
gorillas, aren't good playmates when
well, they become very docile when
sick and allow the veterinarian to
go ahead with his work without OBJ
lection.
Monkeys are very susceptible to
pneumonia, but they have been
saved with oxygen tubes, on several
occasions. Unfortunately, they some
times get into the habit of biting
their tails, seemingly not realizing
that the pain would stop II they did
When this happens the wound is
dressed with q vile-tasting oint-
ment.
Before the general use Of anes-
thetics, reptiles were about the most
difficult patients. With the excep-
ton of the big non-poisonous snakes,
like the boa constructor and python,
the usual procedure was to hold the
snakes head down with forked
stick. Then the keeper seized the
snake by the back of its head while
the doctor went to work.
With the big fellows, who kill their
prey by curling around 1t and
squeezing, 1t was a different matter.
Usually anywhere from eight to II
men entered the cage and grabbed
different parts of the snakes body.
AS long as they could hold it taut,
and in a fairly straight line, they
were all right.
One of the most difficult of reptil-
ian patients was Nose, a big alli-
gator at the New York Zoo. Nose
developed the habit of ripping his
smaller fellows in the alligator pit
wide open with his sharp teeth.
Finally. the ZOO veterinarian got
tired of it, and entered the pit with
a couple of keepers. When Nose
opened his mouth threateningly
the keepers thrust an 18-inch plank
down his throat. The doctor calmly
sat down on three-legged stool and
began saving and filing Moses
teeth down to a less formidable size.
Since then, Nose has been a model
alligator.

Unlike football, basket ball can use
set plays at certain times only.
When the ball is moving fast and
the players are all over the court,
It is ridiculous to assume that a set
play can be worked out. You must
get into the habit of making plays,
setting up your teammates for shots,
maneuvering opponents out of po-
sition, and trying to get opponents
to run into each other to create
blocks, without set plans.
This style of basket ball will take
time to master. Learn your team
mates mannerisms on the court so
that you will know how to fit your
play to their movements. After a
while you will be surprised how in
stinctively the game will come to
you. Always keep moving on the
court so you can make an opening
for yourself or your teammates
Basket ball is something like chess.
You keep on maneuvering your op-
ponent around until you have him
in a weak spot. Then, bang, you
work the ball into the hoop for a
score.
There are a few times during a
game, however, that we can use set
plays. These stop" plays are exc
cuted when the ball is not moving.
Here is center tap play that is
employed when the teams line up for
the beginning of the game or second
half or after held ball. Let us
assume we are starting the game.
Each boy has his man. The referee
tosSes the ball up between the two
centers. The center taps the ball
to the right forward as the right
guard streaks away from his de-
fensive forward. Our forward
passes the ball to the cutting guard.
who dribbleS once or twice and then
has a lay-up shot at the basket.
Another stop play is used from
out of bounds. Offensive players are
labeled "O," defensive *" in the
diagram. AS soon as the referee
whistles that time is in, OF begins
running around "a, drawing his &C.
fensive opponent X3 with him. De-
fensive X3 runs into O4 and XII who
are standing still This maneuver
blocks X3 out of the play and en-
ableS o. to run toward the basket to
receive the pass from Oh, who is
standing out of bounds. In the
event KS switches from OF and tries
to stop o., 02 merely gives Oh a direct
pass under the basket for an easy
tally.
Timing and precision are most i'm
portant in this play and should be
practiced in actual scrimmage.

And men falling to the ground dead.
There'll be the sound of guns

And the smell of smoke in the air.
There1l be friends and relations,

This will leave sorrow in every ones

Therell be gray skies instead OF blue,
And people wondering what to do.
There1l be news of war in the

And for victory we all shall pray.
But until the end of the war you see,
Here's what my motto will be
Keep 'em rollin',
Keep 'em flying,

But mother holds on tight.
She rubs and scrubs and scrubs and

Til your skin sees the light.
She tries to get behind the ears,
And burrows right on in.
Che rubs your feet until you laugh,
And then she scrapes your shin.
When mother finishes her job,
You feel 30 awfully clean
You want to 60 and roll In dirt
Gosh. mothers can be meant
