Dumb Animals Are
Anything But Dumb
In Survival Battle

NEW YORK.-Three animals,
generally thought of as dumb ami
mails" are proving to be anything
but dumb as they continue to thrive
amidst the perils of civilization AND
the danger always inherent in the
presence of man.
These dumb" animals appar-
emily have developed a trait which
many people find it impossible to
d~evelop-the faculty of getting
along with mankind. The success
of the animals seems to point up
these requirements if you're to get
along with men,:
Be sly, smart, fast, %secretive.
Or wear a coat of mail, and be
quick to go underground.
Or be shy and bashful, and keep
out Of mans way.
These might be the secrets Of sue
cess stories told by three strikingly
different wild animals, with one
thing in common. They are all get
ting along with man so well that
they are extending their range in
the United States.
This trio is the coyote, armadillo.
and whitetailed deer. It's not only
a matter of their habits, but cir
cumstances which make them sue
cessful while so many other animals
face danger Of extinction, says Dr..
Harold E. Anthony, curator Of the
department of mammals, Amer
lean Museum of Natural History.
Smart is the coyote. Originally
it lived in the open country of the
west. But now it has worked east
to Ohio, and north into Alaska. It's
even found east of Ohio, but got
there largely through free rides
from mar Coyote pups make good
pets, but later may escape their
owners, or be turned loose.
unlike the wolf, the coyote
seems to thrive near civilization"
DR.. Anthony said. 1T is well able
to take care of itself, learns how
to avoid traps and can be so secre-
tive that few are aware of its pres
ence. Although constantly hunted,
trapped and poisoned, the coyote
appears to be holding its over
much of its range, even though it
is becoming rare in some sections"
Wolves battle the coyote, too, par
ticularly in the north. But the coy
ote usually gets out of the way,
through cleverness or speed.

son, Donald, who performed here
at many club meetings when the
family were residents of Laurel.
The Wards and Mr. and Mrs. j.
M. Miller, who associated in
the garage business here, moved to
California several years ago.
Newspaper clippings from the
San Diego Journal of Sept. 8, tell
Of the opening of the San Diego
Community theater for the 1949-
80 season with the "gay, intimate
usical revue, Caught In The
Act"
The Journal goes on to say that
Caught In The Act is an enter
tanning series of colorfully costum-
ed and decorated sketches all set
in a San Diego locale. Over 40
songs with original lyrics and mu-
sic will be presented for the first
time in the sparkling revue which

Wisconsin Shop Deals Out
all Sorts of Magic Items

MADISON, WIS.-Do you like to
be fooled, tricked, caught on tricks,
gimmicks and gadgets, or to catch
others by the use of such gadgets?
If you do, you Ear find them
along with a thousand other gim-
micks, at Art Brush's magic and
fun shop here.
Art, a professional magician, pre-
fers shop keeping to a try at the
big time with a road show or
theater circuit, mainly because in
this business the customer is
always wrong"
Look" he says, "a customer
comes in and asks for a simple
trick. l work it for him, but l won't
tell him how. He buys it anyway.
See what I mean?'
mot only that" he added, ''but
now that Women have entered bars,
this is the only field left solely to
men,"
1t all started IS years ago, when
Art was six years old. A relative
gave him a magic set for a Christ
mas present, and the idea just
stuck" Now Art is listed among
the top magicians of the country.
Once he gave a command per-
pormance for an Arabian sheik.
That was during the war when Art
was stationed in Arabia with an
army anyways communications out
fit. The sheik had heard about 1.-The
astonishing American who can
make a mar dead and bring him
back again."
Art thought the sheik was prob
ably referring to hypnotiSm. APP
parently he was, for Art was re-
warded for his demonstration with
a gold threaded headdress, usually
worn only by state dignitaries.
The story itself epitomizes the
fine points of the flamboyant art
of deception.

Man Some Day May Kill
1ff Thunderstorm Start

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.-Man
someday may kill off thunder
storms before they lash out with
an "atomic bomb" punch in
damaging winds, hail and light
ming, according to DR.. Vincent
J. Schaefer.
Even a small thunderstorm,
he said, releases energy equal
to several atomic bombs.
Man may also be able to
create sky reservoirs of snow
and get rain or snow at times
where he wants it. Flying ice
patrols may keep air lanes free
of icing conditions. Or planes
may shoot holes into dangerous
clouds ahead.
All these r possible benefits
from new studies of weather
control, he told the United Ma
TONS conference on conserva-
ton and utilization of resources.
DR.. Schaefer nearly three
years ago found ways of pro-
ducing snow or rain from GER
tain clouds by seeding them
with dry ice. silver iodide or
water.
Snow or rain can't be brought
low from any kind Of
cloud, any time. And there's
no apparent way to break a
drought when there are cloud
less skies, or clouds with only a
little water in them, he said.

HOWDY FOLKS:

HOWDY FOLKS:
When you think of the govern
ment debt the next generation will
have to pay off, it's no wonder
the baby yells so loud when it is
born.
Some people would be happy
if they had all the money they
want. Others would be happy
if they had all the money their
creditors want.
Running into debt isn't so bad
It's running into creditors that's
SO upsetting.
A creditor is a guy who has
a better memory than a debt
or.
Of course it's worse to run in
to oebt with your shoemaker be-
cause then you can't call your
sole your own.
The best way to contract a
debt is to pay it off.
And right here we want to pay
our respects to you good folks
who have treated us so well.
Thanks for the extra patronage.
We're offering a little bonus
deal for this month of NOvem-
Der.
We want you all to see and wear
one of our new Numbered shirt
jobs, so we're going to give you
a free job with each and every
mans suit or ladies' coat dry
cleaned this month.
All due credit to mama's shirt
job, once you wear our Shirt
Pax" you'll save nom a lot OF
torment.
