The largest elephants in North

heights from 13 to IA feet.
Sometimes their tusks measured
IL or IL feet in length.
In Europe lived rivals for the

They belonged to what scientists
call the "elephas antiquus" or
ancient elephant" group. A
skeleton of one of them found
in Kent. England. indicates that
the living animal had a height Of

have found the remains of sew

ing mammoths and mastodons.
Other skeletons belonging to I'm

The mammoth is the most
famed of prehistoric elephants.
Some persons suppose that it
was far larger than any elephant
of today, but it was only about
the size of a modern Indian ele-
phant. The same is true of the
ancient mastodon.
MastodonS roamed far and
wide over North America. 1t

of their bones took place in the

Not if you play it right" said
Mr.. Champion. "All you had to
do was discard a heart on the
first trick instead of rufing. That
way you can be sure Dale will
never get in to lead through your
king of clubs. Heinsite's best
shift at trick two is a heart and
you should go up with the ace
and lead back the queen. If
Dale covers. you ruff, go to dunn
my with a trump and throw
away two club losers on the good
hearts. If Dale doesn't cover,
throw a club. You're bound to
take II tricks"
That's double-dummy, re-
piled Mr.. Muzzy desperately.
What if Heinsite has the king
OF hearts?"
Mr.. Champion had the answer.
Then you'll still make four" he
said. "If Heinsite wins with the
king of hearts, what can he re-
turn? If he returns a club, you
lose only: one trick in that suit.
A diamond return will let you
ruff in dummy while you dis
card another club from your
hand. Then you could throw
your last club on dummy's good
jack of hearts"
