Uncle Ruy's Corner By so"o" cotsme"

There are several ways to tell the
difference between an African ele-
phant and an Indian, or Asiatic,
elephant. The African elephant is
taller. and has much larger ears.
It is rare that we see elephants Of
both types standing side by side.
How can we tell which is which If
We see only one Of them?
Here is a good way: The Asiatic
elephant has an arched back: the
middle of the. back is higher than
the rest. The African elephant, on
the other hand, has a slight dip"
in the middle of its back. This has
been called a hollow" but it
amounts to very little.
If you can observe the end of the
trunk, look at the fingers" These
are f1eshy tips. There are two to
each trunk, but the Indian elephant
has only one which is plain to see.
The African elephant has two 'fn-
gers of nearly equal length.
The trunk is from five to eight
feet long. 1t is used for breathing
and for many other purposes. Some
times it is employed to strike an
enemy, and Is a powerful weapon.
When an elephant eats, it uses
the trunk to pick up the food. In
dian elephants commonly eat tall
grass. but their cousins in Africa

spanked to it's first lusty yelp. The
only logical explanation for the
objection rests in the age-old effort
to discourage such sentences as:
Where is the book at?" and Where
is he going to?" The "at" and ito"
in sentences beginning with where"
are of course unnecessary. No one
would think of saying: Where at is
it? Where to is he going?"
In our efforts to correct the
child, we have insulted the man
with q rule that does not exist.
There are countless examples to
disprove the mistaken idea:

similar to That's what all of us

with the grammar groans of the
pedants pushing up pages from the

The idea that sentence should not
end with a proposition has been so
well planted in the minds of Ameri-
cans that many speakers and writers
have an obsession about it.
Several years ago I read an ar
ticle (Which amounted to a 'tirade)
in a radio magazine by a we'll
known radio announcer. The sub
ject? The end-of-sentence

this admonition: "It's something we
must guard AGAINST!"

slowly the balloon dropped toward
the earth.
Belinda peered over the side of
the basket. Suddenly she cried, "Oh,
mercy! We are falling, not down but
up!"
1t certainly appeared that way
for they were falling toward
hundreds Of starry lights. Yet, when
they looked overhead, they found
the stars were still above them!
With a rush Of Joy Belinda real
lied what was happening. Below
them were not stars but lights. And
what other lights could they be
than those of Santa Land?
Tommy's Head Bumped.
"Just in time!" gasped Belinda.
"At least hope it's In time" For
at that very moment Tommys s
growing head bumped against the
balloon and Belinda's toes pushed
the bottom out of the basket.
Down, down, down, hurtled the
balloon. The children shut their
eyes and waited for the crash. But
when it finally came it was not a
crash but plop. They had landed
in a snow drift.

their letters to Santa Claus.
Then there are the children who
write letters in the summertime
asking for sand boxes and skates

comes these children have changed
their minds entirely and write Santa
that they no longer want those
things but that they simply must
have sleds and footballs and red

All of this causes an enormous

Mrs. Keen would have doubled
four spades, all right, but she never
got the chance. With his fine ag-
gressive distribution, Mr.. Dale
thought his best chance for a good
score on the hand was to go to five
hearts.
He executed a brilliant coup in an
effort to bring that contract home
and it probably would have worked
against a lesser opponent than Mr..
Masters. But Mr.. Masters counts
out every hand and he encountered

MIR. Abel opened the six of spades.
Immediately, Mr.. Dale realized that
with four spades on the board,
two in his hand and Mr.. Masters
going to four spades all alone, the
opening lead must be singleton.
This meant that he would lose a
spade. spade ruff and the ace of
hearts for down one. So, without
q moments hesitation, he dropped
the king of spades under Mr.. Mas
ter's ace.
Now Mr.. Masters was supposed toI

But Mr.. Masters did a little fic,lr
Ing OF his own. Just what was Mr.
Dale going to discard on the lack
OF spades if 1t was set up? Mr.. Abel
had put in a vulnerable overcall in
diamonds. Mr.. Masters had four of
them and there were three In
dummy. Mr.. Dale could not have
more than one. Therefore he had
no diamond loser to get rid of. It
was extremely unlikely that it would
help MIR. Dale to discard one club
on the jack of spades.
In addition, Mr.. Masters knew Mr.
Dale was capable of playing the
King OF spades from the holding he
actually had. So he laid down the
queen OF spades and that trick plus
the ace OF trumps assured the set.

crow callers together and each
was heard In mis- pest effort to
"call in" crows over the air

Sanford turned in the best
performance while Yauger was
runner-up In the contest. San
ford will compete again with
the winner of next weeks con-

team OF Sanford and Yaucer
plan to carry on un5er the
name Of "The TWO White
Crows" according to friends.
'Tis said that Yauoer didn't
put forth his best effort due
to Sanford's superior Snowman
ship. When asked why he let
down, Yauger answered, Jus,
Caws" When interviewed San
ford said that Yauuer should
have won, but for the fact that
Yaucer's French cuffs showed
beneath his plaid hunting shirt.

realistic that it is hoped that

call THEM in.
