W hen the

war strategy.
The Civil AcronauticS Board de-
cided that Pea could best serve
the interest of the war by continu-
ing to operate routes on which We
could use the least number Of
planes TO serve the greatest areas
with the greatest speed. This dcci-
SiDn was not made on the basis Of
one city being more important To
the war effort than another, but
on the concentration Of war needs
over certain routes.
More than half our planes went
directly to war. One plane which
Landed at your airport in peace
time helped drive Rommcl from
Egypt, carrying water to desert
troops. Our skilled pilots were
needed too. Some of the Pea pilots
who guided the Capital Liners in
and out of your city were in the
first wartime mass flight to India.
Other Pea pilots were assigned
TO cargo-carrying in our Military
Transport Division, Pea opera
ton under the Air Transport Com
mand.
Some of the facts about this di-
vision come under wartime CEN
sorship, but the War Department
now has permitted us to reveal

The rest, however, had many trees
along with shrubs and grass.
No other human being was on
the island when Selkirk arrived,
but people had been there in past
times. A Spaniard named Juan
Fernandez had discovered the is
land more than a century before,
and had started a colony there.
The members of the colony, after
a short stay, had moved to Chile.
Hundreds of sailors had visited
the island, and the British sea cap
William Dampier-had made
visit there. Selkirk found a space
of more than two acres in which
turnipS grew. 1t is believed that
these came from garden which
Dampier had planted several years
before.
Also there were hundreds of wild
goats. These may have been de-
scended from tame goats left on
the island by the early Spanish
settlers.
Using his supply of powder, Sell
kirk shot some of the goats. He
ate the meat and turned the skins
into clothing.
After killing mother goats, Sell
kirk was able to take several little
goats back to the hut where he slept.
There he made a pen for them, and
waited for the kids to grow up.
While. the kids were growing, he
lived chiefly on turnips and the flesh
of other goats which he shot. Be-
fore many months passed, his sup
ply of powder ran out.
After much practice, Selkirk be-
came an expert in running and in
climbing about the rocks With
out powder for his f1intlock, he now
was able to capture wild goats SIM
ply by chasing them!

COMMON DOLPHIN
(Delphinidne)

tDCtPtTttuUC/
The common dolphin is a marine
mammal belonging in the same
group with the whales and por-
poises. Cetaceans are found in all
seas from the Equator to within the
Arctic Circle. In this family the
largest animals now existing In the
world are found. In some regions
they are still abundant. The smaller
forms. known to us as the porpoises
and dolphins, ascend rivers, and
some Of them even inhabit the
larger rivers of Southeastern Asia
and South America.
The common dolphin reaches a
length Of about 8 feet and is well
equipped with sharp teeth, 40 to go
pairs OF them in each jaw. No fish
in its right mind tarries in the same
vicinity as that occupied by this
dolphin.
The fin on the back of the dolphin
Is triangular and well developed. A
pair Of paddles has replaced the fore
limbs. These paddles move from the
shoulder, but they do not have mus
cles, joints or bones similar to those
found in the human arm and hand
And there are undeveloped begin
nings OF hind legs that prove con-
clusively that the dolphins are de-
scendants Of primitive land animals
Though they now have a hshlike
form, it is merely an adaptation to
a shape that is most fitted for a life
in the sea. On land, these animals
are helpless.
Dolphins have small eyes and they
appear to be cumbersome, stupid
