Names Are Important

Theatrical productions don't
change titles before an opening
quite as much as they do in the
movies, but the matter of a
shows name is always given
serious attention. The new mu-
steal hit oklahoma, derived
from a Theater Guild play of
several years ago called Green
Grow the LilacS," was pretty
nearly called Cherokee Strip
Then some one recalled Mayor
LaGuardia'S ban on the strip
tease and all things pertaining TO
the burlesque. 1t was decided
that the word Strip" might give
rise to erroneous differences and
lead to disappointment.

Allie Tells Story

Roob II Allie brings back TO
Detroit this picture of The bat
tle between men and ice, PIC
ture of men who are among the
Nnsung heroes. In Detroit il Is
spring, but in the frozen waters
of Whitefish Bay II Is winter,
and il is easy 10 forget about
that fight with the elements.
Writes Allie: up around
Lake Superior are the 95 million
tons of iron ore needed I'm 19i3-
Al TO help lick Adolf and TOTO.
To get that ore down where IL
can be used requires all the
boats that can be found. work
ing day and night from late
March (as last year, 10 mid
December IL possible.
meantime, the government IL
sending out billion-dollar con-
tracts for armament, all of
which can be supplemented only
with that iron ore. That's the
background. This is the picture.
Ice 40 Miles Square
up In Whitefish Bay Is
solid block of ice 40 miles square
and from ? TO 3 feet thick. (ThiS
was written last week. Be
tween II and the 500, at last re-

windrOws of ice piled as high aS

ice breakers, the st. Marie and
the Chief Wa-Wa-Tam. Moth
ing on the lakes equals them for
Ice breaking.
"And even they, with mar
velOus records behind them, are
almost stalled. and those con
cerned about that ore movement
are in jitters and knee deep in
aspirin.
"The fact that for 10 days
now there has been no freight
service into the Upper Peninsula
over the historic Straits of
Mackinac railroad carfeTries-
these are the ice-breaking boats
that are bucking that ice-seemS
trivial. Trivial. even though this

It's another story Of the bat

another battle that brings no

crawling on short legs. they had legs
which rose high from the ground.
Dinosaurs differed a great deal
and it will be best to take them up
separately. Today and tomorrow
We shall deal with several of the
main types.
AS start. let us speak of Three
Horns. monster which had two
large horns over his forehead, and
a single horn over his nose. The
horns may remind us of a modern
rhinoceros, but this monster was
longer than any rhinoceros on rec
ord. Sometimes it grew to length
of 25 feet!
A strange thing about Three
Horns was his head. He had
larger head than any other land
animal that ever lived. Also there
was more bone in the head than
any other land animal has pos
sessed Only the whale, an animal
of the sea, can boast a larger head.
The whales head Is joined closely
to the body, and it is hard to tell
where the head ends and the body
begins.
The head of Three Horns had a
great bony covering, stretching back
over the neck. Counting the bony
covering, some of the skulls which
have seen are from five to seven
feet long.
Three Horns numbered along on
his four legs, and probably never
rose on his hind legs. There were,
however. other dinosaurs. which
were at home on two legs Some OF
them, indeed, seem to have used
only their hind legs for walking
or running.
One dinosaur which ran on its
hind legs was the "Iguanodon." The
name means 'iguana with teeth"
| A lizard known as the iguana lives
today, and grows to a length of
| five Or six feet.
TWenty-nine skeletons of Iguano-
dons were found at a coal mine
IN Belgium. Other remains of these
animals have been discovered in
various parts of North America
Some of them had height of Is
feet or more.

ANoi III Diuulilg WAS on the a2RTeS-
sive side, but with Maier playing the
dummy it frequently paid to be
aggressive.
West unwisely opened the club
king and then failed to shift to a
heart. Instead, he led the spade
jack, and that was all that Maier
tSouth) needed to make the hand.
Winning the spade lead in his
hand, South led another club. West
took his queen and at last shifted to
| the heart. Dummy's ace won and.
after taking the king and ace of
| spades in that order the club Jack
was led. When East didn't follow.
South discarded his heart and let
West take the club ace. But after
that South ruffed the heart return
| and discarded his two losing dia-
mondS on dummy's good clubs.
West had an alternate line of de-
fenSe, but because East held the
three spades it would have done him
no good. When he took the club
| queen he might have led low club
and let East ruff. Declarer would
overruf1, cross to dummy's spade ace
and ruff a fourth club After that
South's losing heart would be thrown
on the fifth club and declarer would
have a trump in his hand to take
care Of dummy's low heart. BY
giving the opponents three club
tricks, South had taken care of two
losing clubs, one losing heart and. as
the cards lay, two losing diamonds.
