Uncle Ruy's Corner

Yesterday we spoke of amoebas,
the tiny one-celled creatures which
are believed to have been the first
form Of animal life on earth.
There are two facts about
amoebas which I want to add. One
is that they divide after reaching a
certain size. Some of the larger
ones become as much as a sixteenth
of an inch wide, and can be seen
without the help of a microscope.
Another point is this; After
dividing a number of times. an
amoeba may join with a different
one. They come together and form
a single animal This seems to
make up for a weakness which is
felt after they have divided too
often.
Scientists believe the first living
things were one-celled plants and
one-celled animals. If that is true,
the amoebas we find in pond mud
today may be like those which ex-
listed at. or near, the dawn of life
on this planet.
Sad to say. the amoebas had no
bones or shells to leave for us 70
find in rocks. That explains why
fossils of them are not to be located.
Deep down in the rock layers,
however, we do find the remains Of
several kinds of simple animals.
These include sponges and corals.
The hard substance known as
coral IS a kind of skeleton, left
by animals which died in the sea.
SpOngeS also are animals, even
| though they grow in one place as
if they were plants.
That early age of life is called
the "Cambian period" Another
name for it is the Age of Trilo-
| bites"
The word "trilobite" is pro-
nounced TRY -lo-bite." Great
numbers Of them have been found
in beds Of rock, which is the rea-
son for an age" to be named in
their honor.
Trilobites had legs, but the num-
Der of legs differed. Some had
only or 10, but others had 40 or
more! Some OF the legs we're very
/ small.
There were dozens Of kinds Of
/ trilobites. Most of them were be-
tween l and 3 inches long. but GER
tain kinds grew to a length of only
a quarter OF an inch. On the other
hand, what we may call a giant
trilobite" reached a length of 18 or
| 20 inches.
All trilobites lived in the sea.
We can tell this from the fact
that the rocks in which their fossils
are found were formed in ocean

West led the king of clubs and
when East played the 10 another
club was led and ruffed by South.
The queen Of hearts put dummy in
to lead the spade jack which held
when every one duCked. DeClarer
took another spade fnesse, then
cashed his ace-king of hearts and
attempted to ruff his last heart.
But East overruffed dummy and
South still had to concede a dia-
mond trick.
There were at least two ways for
South to make his contract. One
was by conCeding a trick in dia-
monds and then playing for either
a diamond break, which would not
have succeeded, or a squeeze which
would have worked unless the de-
fense returned a heart after taking
the diamond.
But by far the easier way was to
ruff the third round of hearts in
stead of the fourth. All the declarer
had to do was trump his low heart
in dummy before cashing the third
high one. East couldn't have over
ruffed and declarer could have
cashed his last heart after coming
| back to the diamond ace and pull
ing East's last trump.

You'll find cool delight on sum-
mer evenings in a nodded fruit salad
and an iced beverage, whether you
serve them for porch party dessert
or for late evening refreshment
when neighbors meet over cards or
conversation. It's good hot-weather
strategy to serve iced coffee for your
cold brew. now that rations are
easier. You needn't be troubled by
the scarcity of cream, either, for you
can make a creamy and delicious
brew by pouring hot milk over
frozen coffee cubes. And you can
make the jellied fruit mold hours
ahead of time and tuck it away in
the refrigerator.
Any odds and ends of fruit can be
used in the salad. Berries, cherries,
sliced peaches are all delicious with
fruit-favored gelatin, and diced
oranges are standbys that can be
used at any season. Metal molds
chill most quickly, but If you
haven't one, you can mold the gela-
tin in q bowl or in individual rame-
kins or custard cups.

Nutrition Course
Begins July 13

A nutrition course specially de-
signed to help housewives cope
intelligently with wartime food
shortages and the point-ration-

District Red Cross. The course
is scheduled to begin on July l3

In addition to the accent on

nightly trips to the men of the
armed forces stationed at lonely
outposts, the Garden Canteen
picturesquely located in the Red
Cross Gardens, the day nursery.
where lunches are served daily to
the children OF servicemen.
