SANDERSON [PAGE BREAK] FLYING PHALANGER: This little fellow, who lives in Australia and New Guinea, mada his scientific debut under highly unusual circumstances. The first specimen ever recorded was caught leaping blithely from rooftop to rooftop in, of all places, London! Animals have a habit of turning up in strange places F ALL the animal stories I have collected, few have pleased me more than those about animals turning up in wrong places. In New York City, last month, groundkeepers shot a fox in Yankee Stadium. The little fellow appar- ently came to the Stadium from Pennsylvania on a truck bringing a new field tarpaulin. Even whales have a habit of tak- ing a left turn when they should have gone right. There was the whale that swam up a creek in New York City and blocked a drawbridge, delaying commuter trains on the Long Island Railroad. And take the albino frog plucked from a Manhattan gutter one win- ter night. Yes, little boys sometimes carry frogs in their pockets. But even in New York, little boys are seldom on the streets at midnight. The mystery of the country frog in the big city was never cleared up Strange Prize HE classic case-to zoologists-in- Tvolved an Australian Flying Pha- langer or Opossum. The first speci- men ever recorded was caught alive, not in Australia, but 12,000 miles away on a central London rooftop. How come? Don't ask me. Perhaps a sailor brought it home, not realizing he had found a scien- tist's prize. Not even sailors, though, carry five-foot alligators as pets. Yet one was caught on the banks of the Red River in Wisconsin in the chilling cold of February 1892! And a guest in a smart Manhattan hotel once was startled to find a two-foot all!- gator in his room. The baffled man- agement sent up the house detec- tive, who arrived with a loaded pistol. The 'gator was trapped in a waste basket, however. If you wonder how such things can happen, consider that vast numbers of odd animals are im- ported into this country by zoos and private citizens. I used to watch & banker work out with a kangaroo ALBINO FROG: how did get to New York? on a roof each morning. And there was a man nearby who bred red- crested macaws from the jungles of South America (see cover) in his apartment! Some of the oddest discoveries have been made in lakes. About the turn of the century squids were reported swimming in Lake Onondaga, in Western New York. Several were caught and sent ⚫ to a museum for study. Now squids are torpedo-shaped animals related to octopuses and normally live in the ocean. The ex- perts were puzzled: how could they travel 400 miles from the Atlantic seacoast? Two Frogs from the Sky? Two explanations were offered. One, which seems plausible, was that they had been carried from the coast for bait. The other, more ex- citing, was put forward by some local anglers. They speculated that there might be a stratum of salt water beneath the surface, a sort of pocket of some ancient sea cut off by land and capped by stream water of less density. Tales of seals being sighted in lakes are not unusual. And some of them are perfectly plausible. It is possible for a seal to make his way up a river. But what can we say when there is no river? There must be an explanation to all these odd appearances. But sometimes it's hard to find. Unless animals do sometimes "rain out of the sky," as so often reported, how could four city blocks of North London be littered with full-grown frogs after a thunder shower in early spring?

Though by all odds the strongest beast in the jungle, even the elephant wi It's not the lion. He's an overrated coward with a penchant for sleeping TAIR-RAISING TALES about animals Halways makes news, and last summer's celebrated, if bloody, en- counter between a circus gorilla and a panther was no exception. The ape gained entrance to the panther's cage, and the cat promptly tore off the ape's arm, leaving the animal to ⚫ be dispatched later by its keeper. Many people reacted as if a table- tennis champion had knocked out a boxer. But then people are con- stantly being surprised about ani- mals. Practically everything that is commonly accepted about their be- haviour, it sometimes seems, turns out, on investigation, to be untrue! Lioness Take for example the lion. For reasons which are partly psychologi- cal, partly historical, most people consider the lion the noble King of Beasts. The gorilla, on the other hand, is usually regarded as an in- domitable thug, an only slightly sub- human creature of the utmost sav- agery and strength. In point of actual fact, the lion is a somewhat pompous coward with a great penchant for sleeping, and the mighty gorilla is a retiring vege- tarian who has been known to scramble away in terror at the sight of a troupe of small monkeys. Far from being the king, the lon is plagued by a host of lesser crea- tures. Among them is an insignifi- cant little animal, half the size of a rabbit, known as the zorille. Many a hunter sitting by a kill at night, waiting to bag lions, has been amazed to see half a dozen of the great cats whimpering at a safe distance from the meat while a zorille placidly sniffs the choicest scraps. The explanation for this cowardly behavior is that the zorille has about the same glandular equip- ment as our own skunk, plus re- markably good aim. Like the skunk, [PAGE BREAK] I retreat before one jungle enemy. he, too, gets respect from all comers. I once witnessed an even more disillusioning exhibition at a zoo lion house. A hungry lion had just settled down to devour its daily quota of meat when a curious yel- low-jacket happened by. The lion jumped back. The wasp buzzed over the meat. The lion looked pained and made a pass at the intruder, whereupon the buzzing rose to an angry pitch and the lion backed off a few feet. There he lay down with his great head on his paws, totally cowed by an insect a ten-thousandth of his weight. The Real King! If there is a King of Beasts at all, especially in what is commonly called the jungle, I would personally cast my vote for the largest available species of hornet! There are no ani- mals, not even the elephant, that can withstand a concerted attack by a flight of hornets-and few will pause to argue matters with even a single individual. Despite a lot of excellent fiction, animals seldom fight in the wilds. There may be a violent male spar- ring at mating seasons within a herd, and meat-eaters customarily kill fear-stricken vegetable-eaters. Even so, there are exceptions, not- ably mothers whose offspring are threatened. The placid giraffe will stand up to a charging lion under these circumstances, and one has been known to kick a lion's head off with her powerful back leg. A female eland, the largest of the antelopes, can fight ferociously, too. She has been known to kill leopards and even lions by the simple expedient of driving her pointed front hoofs clean through her attackers. In fact, when it comes to outright fights, once actually provoked, the most unexpected things happen. A great boa constrictor is a hope- less wreck in a flash,if a jaguar once makes a fair slash at his back mus- cles. But let him get a single coil around the cat and another around a branch and lift him off the ground ... that's the end! Tiger vs. Buffalo. Who Wins? The great cats of Africa, the lion and the leopard, will seldom, if ever, attack buffalo, but the tiger of Asia will sometimes inadvertently do so. Buffalo fight back, and one has been seen to up and kill two tigers with a simple right and left side-swipe of its great, curved horns. Another was observed repeatedly charging a tiger until he backed the cat against a bank, then trampled him to death. When it comes to a direct trial of strength one may expect equal sur- prises. In this there is one animal that is almost invariably the win- ner: the elephant. Nothing can cope with its sheer bulk and that unique weapon, its trunk. By the same token, that armor-plated idiot, the rhinoceros, is seldom attacked, seldom defeated. The hippopotamus, likewise, reigns more or less supreme in the rivers of Africa, apparently main- taining a truce with the crocodiles, though the bite of the former is probably the most terrible in nature and would settle even the largest crocodile in one snap. The leopard is the natural enemy of the gorilla and customarily at- Hippopotamus tacks and kills him, but let old man gorilla get a two-handed grip on the cat and you may witness a prac- tical demonstration in mathematics -simple division. Gargantua could divide a human wrestler as we would a roll if he ever laid two hands on him in anger. Gorillas, when fighting, usually seize their enemies, give them one great bite and then run. Except in extreme emergencies, however, peaceful gorillas invariably run first. KEMGI MIRACLE LUSTRE FII Looks and Washes like Bak KEM-GLO GOES ON SMOOTH AS SILK!

SANDERSON [PAGE BREAK] Se all Tiny birds and beasts are vicious fighters.. I WATCHED IN AMAZEMENT the other day. Across my lawn streaked a powerful collle, tail between his legs. After him, tiny but mighty in her at- tack, came his pursuer: that mildest of animals, a groundhog! Finally the collle stopped, turned and barked from a safe distance. The groundhog, clearly the winner, stopped like a tough kid chasing a sissy, stood in frozen hate for a minute, then turned and trotted back to her cornfield. Two days later it happened again. This time the groundhog sent a dachshund scurrying from her field at full speed. I love dogs, and I know farmers hate groundhogs, but I wanted to tip my hat to the tough little gal who lives in the corn.. With me, it's an old feeling. Time and again I've been impressed by one fact: there's so much dynamite and courage in small things! By comparison with a hummingbird, a lion is an old softie. Deep in Nicaragua's jungles one day, I was ferociously attacked by one of na- ture's tiniest heroes: an angry humming- bird. Don't laugh. The hummingbird a tiny emerald-green bunch of feathers - was small enough to fit through a wedding ring. In a small sapling, she had a neat of bables, and I had been clearing a trail. Not knowing about the nest, I had been about to chop down her tree! It is lucky for me that I have a long nose and wear glasses when peering at natural curiosities in the jungle. Because WATCH OUT, fox. The angry marmoset (left) Is one of Nature's deadliest le creatures. the tiny creature suddenly helicoptered into the air, turned abruptly to 12 o'clock and literally fréd herself at me. • All I remember was a smack of feathers and finding myself on the ground. • When I scrambled to my feet there was a gash along the side of my nose and blood on my glasses. The hummingbird was settling herself back on her nest and adjusting her wings with little dips, as if to say: "Stay away from this tree-YOU!" The Boy Screamed N ANOTHER OCCASION I heard of an Indian boy whose mother brought him to a doctor. His eyeball had been punctured, but the doc could not and out from the boy what caused the injury. The boy had come screaming from the jungle, holding a hand over his eye. It took the doctor three days to find the culprit. The child, he decided, had found a hummingbird's nest, and had been attacked by the mother. He had suffered the fate I escaped. Many of us think that animals like the tiger and leopard pick fights. That's wrong. But it does seem that smaller animals are pugnacious-and the smaller the animal, the more pugnacious he is apt to be. The Shrow Is Vicious AKE THE SHидw as an example. Shrews have long, pointed jaws armed with rows of razor-sharp teeth which can rip and tear the toughest gristle. I have seen two of them fight each other all day -until one lay dead. • Weasels are utterly wanton killers and have been known to slaughter 50 chickens in a night and eat only one of them. • A gamekeeper I know once found a tiny weasel in a trap, nursed it to health and tried to keep it as a pet. It attacked his big dog, which fled. It molested his tomcat which, however, merely cuffed it. Finally it deliberately invaded a cage containing one of its larger relatives, a ferret. Ferrets are noted for Aghting ability, but the weasel attacked the ferret and killed it. Next to the shrew and weasel in tough- ness is the mink. You can tame a mink, but they are ferce fighters and have been known to attack their keepers with ut- most fury. Their strength and stamina is unbelievable for their alme.

HE DATE Was November 2, 1920- election night, exactly 32 years ago tonight. The candidates: Harding and Cox. In a "shack" on the roof of a factory here, four men watched the hands of a clock edge toward 9 p.m. One man sat in front of a crude radio transmitter. Another stood by a tele- phone. The third sat at a desk, ruling lines on a big square pad. A fourth man held a microphone. It was an old-fashioned telephone mouth- piece, wrapped in cotton and enclosed in a cardboard box. Suddenly, the man at the telephone said: "Okay, Leo, here it is-totals on the first returns... Harding, 9,687,364; Cox, 7,362,940." On the Air The man named Leo spoke into the mike: "Ladies and gentlemen, we now bring you the latest returns on the presidential election, as received here at station KDKA. With those words, Leo H.

The Snow Was Black KKT TIME you take an anti histamine drug for hay fever of cold, be thankful that an art student named George Rieveschl. F was painting a ploture 20 years ago. As result, the art student became one of the pioneers in drug research. Today, at only $5, he is one of our top research chemists. But, getting back to the picture: ever since boyhood in Arlington Heights, O., Rieveschl had wanted to be an artist. So he enrolled in an art school in Cin- cinnati. Like many students, Rieveschl didn't have much money, so he and another student decided to mix their own paints. They whipped up a batch and Rie- veschl painted a beautiful winter land- scape. He admired it for a week, until one day he noticed that the homemade white snow had turned black. He Wanted to Know Why ND THAT launched Rieveschl on a brand new career. Trying to find out what caused the change, he became so interested in the chemistry of paints that he stopped studying painting! ● Soon afterward, Rieveschl enrolled in the University of Cincinnati to study chemistry. After getting his A.B. and Ph.D. degrees, he decided to teach the subject. In 1943, he joined a big drug house: Parke, Davis & Co. in Detroit. There, he sparked a great medical development, the discovery of an anti-histamine . called Benadryl. It opened the way to treatment of millions of people suffering from allergies. In 1949, he became director of his company's research in organic and bio- chemistry. He's glad now that the snow turned black. parade Jess Gorkin W. A. Spragud Edward D. Fales, i Robert P.

Paddy Dow is 22, blonde, beautiful and with a ngure that once won her the distinction of being Miss Louisiana, but she is sure the best thing that happened to her was gray hair and wrinkles! "If I hadn't become an old woman," says Peggy, "my career might have been concerned mostly with a typewriter!" Peggy, who is considered one of the most promising young stars in Holly- wood (she's the sympathetic nurse in Universal-International's movie version of "Harvey"), began her bout with the world as a secretary-receptionist, in a New Orleans radio station. At college, she majored in radio acting, but radio roles being as scarce as snow in her home town, Athens, Tenn., she just traded her microphone for a desk. Then, one day, she visited a school chum in Hollywood. While there, she got herself a bit part in television. The role was what Peggy calls "chewy." She had to be an old woman who was being badgered by black- mailers. She not only needed wrinkles and gray hair; ahe needed tremors and a shaky voice. Peg gave it all she had. "I was the oldest, scaredest woman you can imagine!" she recalls A Director is Always Looking Next day a call came from the casting director at Universal-International. He had seen her performance and wanted to give her a movie test. The rest is strictly in Cinderella tradition. Peggy got a seven-year contract, made several movies and is enjoying the overnight success about which millions of American girls dream. "Here I am in movies because someone saw me on television when all the while I expected to become a radio actress," muses Peggy. "And I got the break be- cause I was pretending to be an old lady.

JANUARY 11, 1951 [PAGE BREAK] IF YOURE STOUT Money-Saving FREE STYLE BOOK FLYING PHALANGER: This little fellow, who lives in Australia and New Guinea, made his scientific debut under highly unusual circumstances. The first specimen ever recorded was caught leaping blithely from rooftop to rooftop in, of all places, London! Animals have a habit of turning up in strange places ALL the animal stories I have collected, few have pleased me more than those about animals turning up in wrong places. In New York City, last month, groundkeepers shot a fox in Yankee Stadium. The little fellow appar- ently came to the Stadium from Pennsylvania on a truck bringing a new field tarpaulin. Even whales have a habit of tak- ing a left turn when they should have gone right. There was the whale that swam up a creek in New York City and blocked a drawbridge, delaying commuter trains on the Long Island Railroad. And take the albino frog plucked from a Manhattan gutter one win- ter night. Yes, little boys sometimes carry frogs in their pockets. But even in New York, little boys are seldom on the streets at midnight. The mystery of the country frog in the big city was never cleared up. Strange Prize E classic case-to zoologists-in- volved an Australian Flying Pha- langer or Opossum. The first speci- men ever recorded was caught alive, not in Australia, but 12,000 miles away on a central London rooftop. How come? Don't ask me. Perhaps a sailor brought it home, not realizing he had found a scien- tist's prize. Not even sailors, though, carry Ave-foot alligators as pets. Yet one was caught on the banks of the Red River in Wisconsin in the chilling cold of February 1892! And a guest in a smart Manhattan hotel once was startled to And a two-foot alli- gator in his room. The baffled man- agement sent up the house detec- tive, who arrived with a loaded pistol. The 'gator was trapped in a waste basket, however. If you wonder how such things can happen, consider that vast numbers of odd animals are im- ported into this country by zoos and private citizens. I used to watch a banker work out with a kangaroo ALBINO FROG bow did I got to New York? on a roof each morning. And there was a man nearby who bred red- crested macaws from the jungles of South America (see cover) in his apartment! Some of the oddest discoveries have been made in lakes. About the turn of the century squids were reported swimming in Lake Onondaga, in Western New York. Beveral were caught and sent to a museum for study. Now squids are torpedo-shaped animals related to octopuses and normally live in the ocean. The ex- perts were puzzled: how could they travel 400 miles from the Atlantic seacoast? Frogs from the Sky? explanations were offered. Tone, which seems plausible, was that they had been carried from the coast for bait. The other, more ex- citing, was put forward by some local anglers. They speculated that there might be a stratum of salt water beneath the surface, a sort of pocket of some ancient sea cut off by land and capped by stream water of less density. Tales of seals being sighted in lakes are not unusual. And some of them are perfectly plausible. It is possible for a seal to make his way up a river. But what can we say when there is no river? There must be an explanation to all these odd appearances. But sometimes it's hard to find. Unless animals do sometimes "rain out of the sky," as so often reported, how could four city blocks of North London be uttered with full-grown frogs after a thunder shower th early spring? L.B.
