name means carved tooth" and
was given because Of 20 grooved
teeth in the mouth of each of the
animals.
The glyptodon often reached a
length Of 6 or feet. The body
was covered with a large bony
shield, something like that of a
turtle. The head and the tail also
were covered with bony armor plate.
Many skeletons of glyptodons
have been found in the pampa re-
gion Of Argentina and other South
American countries. The race died
out long ago, but we now have some
what similar animals, known as
"armadillos.
A third mammal of that period Is
called by name meaning ancient
mastodon." 1t was on the order
Of an elephant. The nose was
stretched out into a trunk, but not
such a long one as an elephant has.
Its underjaw was very long. In
place of certain teeth were short
tusks, shorter than those which
are common today in the elephant
tribe.
The ancient mastodon was not
nearly so tall as elephants of the
present time. 1t is believed to have
used its tusks to dig into the ground,
perhaps to locate roots which were
good to eat.
Remains of the ancient mastodon
have been found in west-central
Egypt, in an area now classed as a
desert. This animal was different
from later mastodons.
The so-called true mastodon"
lived on our own continent. 1t was
larger, and it had much longer
tusks. 1t was about equal in size to
a modern elephant.
Among the beasts which were a
danger to smaller animals were
tigers. These included the famous
saber-tooth, which had two long,
sharp teeth at the front of it's upper
jaw. Those teeth were as much as
7 inches long.

PASS
West opened the diamond deuce,
fourth best of the suit his partner
had bid. Dummy played low, and
East took the trick with the king,
returning the spade jack.
The declarer didn't much like
his chances of bringing home the
contract. He had two diamond
losers, one club loser and one trick
to lose in spades and there was no
trick he could set up by force in
order to get a discard in either
hand.
Since force would not suffice,
South was compelled to rely upon
guile. He saw, as his only opportun-
ity. the fact that East did not have
the jack of diamonds. Declarer won
the spade with dummy's ace and
promptly returned a low diamond.
East knew that South had an
other diamond, but he did not know
its size. 1t appeared, from the
way South was playing, that he had
another sure loser somewhere in
his hand and was trying to sneak
home diamond trick before the
defense could be sure Of the situa-
ton.
Rightly or wrongly, East decided
he mad better go up with his dia-
mond ace. When South dropped
the ten, Of course, East realized he'd
been bilked. Declarer had estab-
lished the diamond queen the only
way 1t could have been set up-by
an ingenious little swindle which
had nothing to lose. In addition to
the concrete gain of making his
contract he had pulled fast one"
on an opponent-one of the things
that, humanity enough, give bridge

The highest institution of learn
ing in the southern part of Imperial
Valley, Ell Centre Junior college,
will open for the new school year
on September 20, in spite of war;
time conditions which have taken
many of the male students from its
campus.
Guy A. Weakley, superintendent
of Ell Centro's schools, disclosed
Friday that as teachers have been
contacted to teach in the secondary
schools of the city, including the
junior college.
Male students will not be entirely
absent from the premises of the
j. c., however. Weakley assured.
For many high school graduates,
who have not reached the selective-
service age minimum of IS, have
indicated that they will attend the
two year college instead of going to
schools away from home this term.
Army and navy reservists, boys
who have been accepted by one of
the services but who have been
told to remain in school until they
are called to active duty, will also
attend junior college classes.
HIGH REPUTATION
The Ell Centre school enjoys a
particularly high reputation with
the services because of the show
ing made by former students who
have now been called into service.
Hundreds have gone into training
and great many of them have
been able to obtain commissions be-
cause of the schooling they receiv-
ed at the j. c., Weakley said.
The emphasis will again be plac-
ed upon quality of courses and in
structors. Indicative of the calibre
o. instruction as well as the type of
student, received at the junior col
lege is the record recently estab-
lished by one youth who was a
member of the enlisted reserve of
the navy and had been instructed
to remain in school. When the boy
