Uncle Roy's Corner

In 1888 I made several visits to
the Century Of Progress" exposition
in Chicago. Each time took note
OF the prehistoric animals which
were on view. For the most part
these were huge dinosaurs, some Of
them looking very fierce, indeed.
They weren't alive, to be sure, but
some of the models were made in
such a way that they would move.
In one building a kind of show"
was put on, with dinosaurs which

seemed very lifelike. Visitors were
told that the beasts had lived on
earth millions of years ago.
Some persons may have gained
the idea that dinosaurs were the
first animals on earth, but that is
not the case. Very old rock layers
contain skeletons of animals which
lived long before dinosaurs.
Scientists say that the first of all
animals lived in water. Many thou
sands of fossils" of water animals
have been found. Some of these
we're left by animals less than an
inch long, others by giants with a
length of more than 40 feet.
Great changes took place when
certain animals started to live on
dry land. 1t is believed that the
first backboned animals to do this
were flshlike "amphibians"
Present-day amphibians include
frogs, toads and salamanders. Usual
ly they are at home both in water
and on land. Most of them go
through tadpole stage, but later
are able to breathe air with the
help of lungs.
Some early amphibians were
hundreds of times as heavy as any
Of those which are alive now.
In 1924 the remains of a mas
todonsaurus" were found in Ger
many. This beast was not related
to the ancient elephants known as
"mastodons The first part of the
name was given to it because of its
large size
The mastodonsaurus was an
amphibian. During the past century
other skeletons have been found in
Europe and Asia. Some of these
have skulls which are feet longl
The big body of the mastodon-
saurus was mounted on short legs.
The animal must have been slow
moving

When South rebid one no-trump,
North should have stopped for a
moment to picture the game going
possibility Of the combined hands.
South had made the weakest possible
rebid and was very likely to have a
minimum hand. North had seven
worthless cards in his hand and it
was unlikely that South could cover
more than three of them, so a game
in hearts was most unlikely. But If
South could win three tricks and
North could supply six heart tricks,
game at no-trump was probable.
North's simple rebid in hearts left
South nothing to do and even if
North had made stronger heart
rebid he might have reached the
wrong contract, because at four
hearts North-South would have had
to lose four tricks.
North should simply have bid three
no-trump. If South could stop all
of the three other suits, three no.
trump should be easy. AS it hap
pened, South could not stop spades,
but game. at no-trump could have
been made, nevertheless, because
after East won the first two tricks
In spades the suit would have been
blocked and South would have got
ten his three tricks plus North's six
tricks.

Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF

them "as highly confidential, the
same as other confidential mail" !"
Mr.. Shaw said there is nothing
to indicate these leaks occurred in
the State Department, and If you
want to speculate there are lot of
other places leak could have oc-
cured"
In response to questions, Mr.. Shaw
said he had a copy of the inter-
cepts with him but did not feel he
could turn them over to the COM
mittee without the approval of the

nittee Immediately sent for Mr.
Price.
Mr.. Price told Senator Reed, Re-
publican, of Kansas, acting chair
man, he was reluctant to place the
intercepts on the public record be-
cause he has responsibility to
protect private correspondence that
passes through his agency and be-
cause the intercept forms contain
"a great deal of security informa-
tion," such as the numbers of CEN
sorship stations. .
Senator Ferguson contended that
unless the subcommittee is per-
mitted to inspect the intercepts he
could see no reason for continuing
the investigation into the disclosure
of quotations.

Applying 'Psychoneurotic'
To Veterans Called Unfair
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, June lO.-Dr. John
C. Whitehorn, Johns Hopkins Uni
versity psychiatrist, declared today
that the misuse of the classification
psychoneurotic" as applied to war
veterans has led to much personal
unhappiness and unfair discrimina-
ton by employers.
lhls term-which has been ap-
piled to a reported 250,O00 former
soldiers since the attack on Pearl
Harbor-is wrongly believed to mean
form OF insanity, said DR.. White
horn, who is director of Phipps
Clinic at the Johns Hopkins Hospi-
tai and professor OF psychiatry at
the Hopkins Medical School.
Although these men are normal in
many respects, they are considered
lacking in psychological stamina for
the rigors OF combat and are-in
many cases-discharged into civilian
life where they can hold down most
jobs open to civilians, the psychi-
artist continued.
