something new and different in
club entertainment. The new
party program starts tomorrow
night with a country dance under
the Craftsmanship of Junior
Lacquer Julia Foraker and Jack
Grindle.
Members and their friends will
shuttle into the club in blue jeans
and country cottons to sit down
to dinner of fried chicken. corn
pone and apple pie. They'll put
down those chicken legs long
enough to raise their voices in
song to the accordion music of
attractive Everett Walk who also
happens to be treasurer of the
club. After dinner they'll have
a square dance session, interrupted
by scarecrow dart contest. The
girl and man who can pierce the
heart of the scarecrow each wins
one of those chicly done-up farm
hats such as you are apt to en-
counter on a smartly garbed Vir-
gin Islands resident. Radios

local galleries to be cleaned.
A few days later one OF the men
at the shop called and talked to
Gladstone. What did you pay for
this painting?" he asked. "Oh,
not much" replied Gladstone.

A young woman writes as fol.
lows: 1.-THE other evening a man
I've never dated, telephoned and
after the usual exchange of how
are you's he asked me, What are
you doing next Friday EVENING"
The only thing I could think was
that he was inviting me to the
dance at the country club (where
I met him and always see mimi.
So I sweetly answered 'Nothing'
My grand illusions we're shattered
when he explained: How'd you
like to go see "The Wood
Nymph?'" That play has been a
great hit and on any other evening
I'd have loved to go. To make
matters worse. since then I've been
invited to the club dance, but, Of
course, had to refuse. Please tell
a man to ask>a girl in such a way
that she has some chance Of
politely escaping"
/ It's true. his invitation (any-
ones in fact) should have been
phrased. "Will you go Cor would
you care to go) to see The Wood
Nymph' Friday EVENING"" Ordi-
narily there is no escaping after
answering Nothing" In this par
ticular case, with the club your
only common bond, I think you
could have explained, "Oh!-1
thought you were asking me to the
club dance that evening"" And
this might have induced him to
offer to change the tickets for an
other evening-and perhaps 80 to

f,20G-Yeay-0Id Prehistoric Dor Found pt. Barrow

SEATTLE, Sept. 15-lR-Remains of prehistoric dog have been un- covered at an ancient village site at Point Barrow, a Harvard anthro- pologist reported today
 This dog, which lived in the Arctic probably about 1.200 years ago, was about the size of a cocker spaniel. Nothing like it has been found in the north before.
 II. Thomas Cain was one of four anthropologists from Harvard who spent the summer at Point Barrow. Excavating to a depth Of six feet beneath the frozen muskeg. they found an old home site, filtered with broken bone tools, weapons and utensils.
 In the collection they found two skulls. both plainly those of dogs but much smaller than any prev iously known
 The Harvard investigations, strug- eling to probe the frozen layers of earth and debris built up by the centuries, literally thawed their way back into history by using the "steam point" technique long fam ihar to gold miners. A pipe connect ed to a sledge-carried boiler thaw- ed the ground as rapidly as they sift it.
 Another investigation showed that the white man isn't having as great an impact on Eskimo habits as some people think Charles I. Shade of the research team checked the diets of 100 Barrow Eskimos and found that with the exception of flour and canned milk, they're still sticking pretty close to the traditional diet of seal oil, whale meat and blub- Der, fish, ducks and geese.

Matthews tipped the beam at surprising 18115. He normally fought as a lightheavyweight and thinks he should be wearing Joey Maxim's crown.
 A lot of other persons think that way, too, including some members of the nations Congress. Last nights decisive win over Butcher -accen- tuated demand that he get shots at both MaXim's and Walcott's crowns.
 He disposed of Butcher quickly in the scheduled 10-rounded viewed by a near capacity S27 1900 crowd of COCO His edge was clear all the way but Butchers own jabbing left gave him no respite up to the clos ing punch.
 Matthews opened a cut above the Californian's left eye and raised a mouse on the right in the second round but Matthews ended the same canto with bloody nose

THIRTY.THREE EUROPEAN
EDITORS TOURING u. s.

A group of thirty-three European
newspapermen, representing IA
countries, have begun a tour of the
United States under the sponsor
ship of the State Department. Be-
ing newspapermen, we feel certain
they will learn much about our
country and how our people really
feel and react to international
problems and stresses, no matter
how carefully they are guided by
the boys in the striped pants.
In fact, we feel this is one of the
most encouraging pieces of news
we have been privileged to report
in some time, since foreign editors
have been supplied for the most
part with reports on the u. S. pre-
pared by people with axes to grind.
For them to come and see for
themselves should be a wholesome
and enlightening procedure for
all Of us.
