Laurel outlook., 1948-10-06

The two top teams in the ives
tern division of class A Montana
football will clash Friday night
at Athletic park in Laurel. Pre-
sently riding at the top of the
heap with one win each in con-
ference play as well as two other
non-conference victories earlier in
the season, the Laurel Locomo-
tives and the Butte Central Ma
rooms will play their perfect re-
cords on the line. Reports from
the so-called experts around the
state say the game will deter
mine the western representative
for the state A title.
The flashy Maroons in setting
up their record this year have
won two of their three games
from class IA teams, with n
10 to ~ score over the Helena
Bengals and a 81 to 6 thump-
ing of the Anaconda Copperheads.
conference victory was
racked up last week in Bozeman
with a convincing 33 to ID count,
after trailing at the halfway
mark Ia to IS.
Laurel's record reads as well,
but the opponents have not been
considered nearly so tough. In
The first, Laurel thumped Powell
to o., and followed with a 80
to II count v e Forsyth. The
Laurel conference score was "a
20 0 over Anaconda Central.
For those who like comparative
scores, Forsyth was downed 10
0 by Miles City who a week
alter tripped the Anaconda Cop
)erheads IL to 2. Havre played
a tie ~ to ~ game

From the reports on the Butte
lub it looks like a battle of the
formation, with both clubs run
ing out of a tight and balanced

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
AmonE-Between.

Cincinnati: My English class ano
I would be grateful for one of your
sensible discussions on the correct
usage of among" and between.
Our textbook says that between
should never be used with more
than two objects.-Mrs. G.
Answer: In the strictest sense
among" applies to more than two
objects, as america is striving for
peace. among the nations Of the
world"
Also strictly speaking. between
applies to two objects only. for
the word literally means by two, u
as. True friendship exists between
Canada and the United States
But. as every language student
knows, almost every rule in English
has an exception. So. between
can apply to more than two quite
properly. Here Is what some Of the
good authorities say about It.:
College Handbook OF Composition.
Woolley and Scott Heath): Be
tween Is often used with more than
two objects"
Webster's New International
"When used of more than two OBJ
jects, it (between) brings them sew
orally and individually into the
relation expressed; as, a treaty be-
tween three powers"
The New Century: Strictly re-
ferring to two objects, but some
times used (for among) Of more
than two"
New English Dictionary: "1t (be-
tween) is still the only word avail
able to express the relation of a
thing to many surrounding things
severally and individually"
Here are a few examples in lit
erature of between" expressing
more than two:
Every man must Judge for him
self between conflicting vague pos
sibilities. es."-Darwin. II hope that
between public business. improving
studies, and domestic pleasures
neither melancholy nor caprice will
find any place for entranceF'-John-
son.
And, Of course, there Is the age
old expression between you and
me and the gatepost."
Recommendation. II between
seems to you to be more accurate
and emphatic, do not hesitate to
use It,. You'll have highest author
ity and long established usage on
your side.
Can you make ths proper distinction In
the meaning Of the words 'shall-will' and
should would? II not, Mr.. Colby's leaf1et
CT. will help you.

Natures Children
American Chameleon.
(Anolis cdrolinensis.)
By LilIion Cox Athey

Chameleons are interesting pets,
perfectly harmless and full Of sur
prises. They have q strange habit
of nodding their heads and can roll
their eyes in such q fascinating
manner they appear to be trying
to convey some message to you.
However an insect coming close
will alert the lizard to action at
once.
Through the Southern States
these lizards are very common. As
a matter of fact. a tree in bloom
usually will be the place to flnd
several of these swift racers. 1t is
their market place, but there are
no waiting lines. The flowers have
attracted droves of insects and
chameleons are especially fond Of
flies. Waking hours are spent
gobbling up sundry insects. On
porches, over garden chairs and
tables you catch the sight Of
flash OF brown or green darting
over the surface in hot pursuit Of
an insect.
These lizards are a few inches
long and can change color while
you watch them. Their own color.
usually a soft inconspicuous brown.
slowly fades into bright green
or the other way round. They are
called chameleons because Of their
ability to change color. There are
actually no true cflameleons In the
United States. They are lizards
resembling miniature editions Of al
ligators with none of their bad
habits. Their body is covered with
minute scales above and below. On
their head is a javelin ridge point
ing toward the snout. Their legs
are very long, especially the hind
pair. Their eyes have remarkable
scope of vision as we'll as inde-
pendent rolling movement.
You can tell by the looseness OF
their skin that shedding time Is
near. Observing this performance
has its moments of thrill for you.
A swipe of front foot removes the
loose skin from the head. which Is
plopped into the mouth and eaten.
Next the lizard reaches back to
remove the covering of the body.
1t comes of fairly easily with a
few contortions. 1t, too, Is stuffed
into the mouth and soon swallowed,
The skin from the front feet
sticks tighter. There IS more tug
ging and greater effort necessary
to get 1t of. At last there remain
the tight trousers of the hind legs
that must be removed. Here Is
where you witness frantic efforts
of the lizard to twist and turn. He
finally manages to peel oil the
trousers, rough side out. These.
too. are consumed. 1t Is a tidy
habit, no loose skin clinging to
twigs or grass, although the food
value of the shed garment Is doubt
full. -
with this task satisfactorily
completed, the lizard seeks q place
in the sun for a well-earned nap.
II you stay around you win sec
him make q lightning dash for
droning fly. The presence OF these
lizards Is helpful. for their appetite !,
for insects Is never satisfied.

The bidding Of today's hand is
given as it actually occurred. 1t is
strictly routine up to North's final
bid which is the subject of this
diatribe. In my opinion, it was un-
sound. North should have passed
to his partners three-spade bid
without any genuine fear of miss
ing . game. He argued that he
held considerably more than he
might have had for his mild raise
to two spades and. therefore, felt
justified in accepting his partners
invitation to 60 game. As will be
seen, declarer had no reasonable
play for the contract. ~s &&
cannot agree with his estimate
Of the North hand. Looks were
deceiving. A prospective dummy
should be judged by the number
Of actual tricks 1t will probably
develop for partner. Viewed from
that standpoint the hand is poor
indeed. At the most liberal estimate,
this holding will produce only three
tricks for partner which will re.
quire his taking seven tricks him.
self. This is too much to ask for.
If South held that many winners
he would have hoped to four
spades himself. When the bidding
proceeds in this manner North
should have a likelihood of taking
four tricks before accepting part
ner's invitation to so game. To
put it another way, North over
looked this very important prin-
ciple of bidding: Beware of the
1883. It's a monster. A wolf in
sleeps clothing. It's never quite as
good as 1t looks. As general rule
I make it a habit to mentally sub
tract king from my hand when I
hold one of this distribution.
I have many times seen a player
raise his partners no trump OPEN
ing with about a king and a queen,
and comment as he spread the
dummy, Partner, have wonderful
no-trump distribution" It's snare
and a delusion. There's nothing
wonderful about It,. It's the worst
possible distribution and the reason
it is recommended for no trump is
that it isn't much good for any
thing else. Since no trump requires
the fewest number of tricks for
game, that avenue must generally
be sought with these very barren
hands. The moral is never overbid
hand that is 4-3-3-3.

SEATTLE.-R-A leaking barge and it's five-man crew was attempt ing to ride out rough waters in the Gulf of Alaska last night as tug sped to it's rescue
 An ominous silence had kept the fate of the vessel in doubt However. a Coast Guard plane radioed it had sighted the barge, the Skarstone, about 88 miles west of Yakutat
 Part of it's superstructure hnd been washed away and 1t was riding low in the water. Two men were ob- served on deck.
 The Coast Guard said water flood ing the vessels batteries was prob ably responsible for the radio si- lence which descended on the craft
 The skarstcne was sighted at 4;35 pm. PSTl tonight and the tug Shinn left Yakutat at pm. to go to it's aid. The run would take about eight hours.
 The l05-foot. self propelled Star stone first messaged desperately for help Friday night and reported it was in n sinking condition. That report said water was about to short the batteries.
 F. l.. Ekholm. one of the owners of the vessel. said it was almost unsuitable unless 1t breaks up be- cause of it's independent compart- ments. It is sealed above with a house on top.
 The barge was carrying general cargo from Seattle to Anchorage when it met trouble midway be- tween Yakutat and Cape St Elias, which juts down midway in the northern Gulf of Alaska.
