Man has, for the most part, explored the
mountains, the deserts, the jungles the forests
and the caverns, but the watery deeps are almost
unknown TO him yet What strange creatures
hidden in those murky depths is unknown.
IT MAY be that some of the strange forms that
rise from time to time and whose appearance
provokes the cry "sea serpent off the starboard'
have come up for moment to scan world as
terrifying to them as they are TO men,
1t is very difficult for the Zoologst to believe
that any of these forms are descendants Of the
real sea SerpentS, like the often-pctured ancient
Plesiosaur, or the thick kbodied eel.like MoSasaur
whose 10000 0O0-yea bones lie embedded in
the Cretaceous rocks of Kansas and elsewhere
in the world. These true sea monsters were in.
habitants of fairly shallow seas.
Modern camera-shy sea monsters may be giant
squids colossal octopi, unknown fish, ancient
sea-cows, huge basking sharks, or even creatures
that have not yet been classified. And they may
have an ancestry ancient as the Age Of Rep
tiles But they are not the sea serpents the flying
dragons looked down upon they scared above
the Mesoziac seas. Yet, whenever an uncanny
creature lifts its horrible head above the waters
the cry will still go up from ship and shore sea

Although the land surfaces
of the globe have been fairly
well covered by inquisitive man,
it is possible that number of
other creatures still live undiS-
covered. Even as late as 1887
the first Okapi was placed on
exhibition at the Bronx Zoo. Be

known. Ii, too, is a living fossil

is avoided by natives.
However, it is from the seas,
particularly, that stories and
rumors come of strange beasts.
There are a number of sound
and common sense reasons for
this. First, all life began in the
seas and many of its creatures
have a much longer unbroken
ancestry than the forms on the
lands. Secondly, the land en-

BEAUTIES HINTS
BEAUTIES HINTS Carry Your Own Lunch And Spend Noon Hour Out In Sun And Air
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Plan a noon-hour escape from the four walls in which. you work, and head for the open spaces, even if you have to bring your lunch from home in-a paper bag.
 Best break in the working day
 best for storing up energies to use after quitting time -comes from spending an hour out--of- doors, preferably lolling on a lawn.
 If you have an al fresco lunch, see that you serve yourself the es- sential foods. NutritionistS, who worry for fear working girls think any kind of snack makes an ade- quate summertime lunch. lay down some rules. They say you should drink milk and eat a beauty sand- wich--a protein filler fianked by enriched bread.
 They suggest crisp raw vege- tables that are not only good to munch but supply some vitamins, and for a desert that supplies sugar for energy pickup. settle for an apple, an orange or some other fruit.
