The. Ledbetters were poor as church" mice, and Jackie hadn't dared even let himself think his pop would let him attend the cir. Consequently, his round blue grew cven. rounder. Old Silas grinned and swallowed a lmup in his threat. He dug down into his pocket and brought out a shiny, new silver hali-dollar. Jackie carefully placed: the half- came. to Cus, CVes 'dollar in a pocket of his tattered overalls, pulled his straw. hat well over his ruddy face, puckered up his lips and began to whistle. He whistled all that afternoon and was still whistling when he came in from the lower lot for supper. Once upstairs, Jackie carefully tobk offi his shirt and then felt in thé pocket of his overalls for the hatt dollar. 'He'd better sleep with it under his pillow, he reasoned, like he'd, read about folks doing. 1¢ was- right tlrey that Jackie's beart sank, right then that the world turned black and there was a horrible, terrifying, empty fecl- ing in the pit of his: stomach. The halt dollar' was gone! . too much of a man for that. He scarched through the other pocket "very carefully,, and then icoked in his shoes, and under the bed about everywhere that the half lar might have been. But it gone, completely vanished. And so Jackie, his heart aching with misery, crawled into Led. And and dol- was ~ thien--he couldn't help it--he cried. 'ut all the time he kept telling him- seli 'he was a man now and he'd - Jackie carchitly! placed the half-dollar in a pocket of his tattered overalls," - « stop "crying before mom came up to tuck him in and kiss : him good night. = - : If mom found him crying she'd ; : _.. feel bad and probably cry, too.

He'd just go off by himself: tomorrow afternoon and make them think he was at the circus "all the time, He wouldn't want them to know for anything. There wasn't any one in the world had a better pop and mom than he, Jackie fought to keep back the | BE tears. "He didn't wait long after breakfast and set out with his i ; vitchfork over his shoulder and a ' : whistle on his lips. Once out of sight of the house the whistle died. The ache and misery of his heart just wouldn't Pp let it go on. Still, he was going to sce the parade anyway, .and pop { atid mom would think he was go- pa ing to the circus.

Dr. W, I. Swinton of the Bri- tish Mudcum of Natural History recently went to Canada and the United States to study their collec- tion of Dinosaurs and-compare them -- with European ones. In a radio talk he told listeners something about these pre-historic creatures which were the dominant land ani- mals for nearly a hundred million years. . The first misconception he cor- rected was that all Dinosaurs 'were huge. Some 'were enormous but others were as small as a collie dog: They were all reptiles, distant relatives of snakes and lizards and --nearly ninety rather closer relatives of croco- diles. They were cold blooded, often scaly in appearance and the females laid eggs. They are known from their fossilized remains, the only contact between them and modern man, for the last Dinosaur had been dead at least sixty million years before the first man appeared. Nearly a hundred different kinds of Dinosaurs, who adapted them- selves to various ways of life, have been found. Dr. Swinton distin- guished them in the easiest way, Ly 'their habits, There were flesh caters with two short fore limbs and two strong hind ones on which they walked. Their toes and fin- gers were clawed and they had one vow of sharp, _knife-like teeth, Some were small, some nore than ten feet high, the-climax of their development being reached in Ty- rannosaurus, nearly fifty feet long from his stout to the tip of his tail. These flesh-caters were closely related to an even larger vegetarian group, with very long necks and tails and elephantine bodies, "Bluebird," formerly the world' no less than five times Its glo Te enh Once Speed King, Now Junk--Slowl 'ar dealers' junk yard is the late Sir # in this London ° ampbell's famed rustin alcolm s fastest racing car.

Some were only thirteen feet long, the famous Brontosaurus was between forty and sixty feet, whilst the "biggest of-all, Dplodocus, measured feet and probably weighted twenty-five tons. They spent much time in lakes and rivers where they used-their strong tecth on the softest vegetation and their claws to grasp a foothold.. A third group of Dinosaurs walked erect" and had. beaked mouths and teeth suited for feeding on the. evergreen palm like vegetation of the time. Some of the smaller kinds may have climbed trees. The fourth group, four-legged cousins of the beaked animals and armoured Dinosaurs because of the bony plates and spikes they bore, Some were entirely covered with such things; others had a double row of plates along the centre of the back, others had spikes on the face and brow and a great frill of Complete skeletons of some Dinosaurs are- in existence, others are just isolated bones. Impressions of skin are found on the rocks in ascociation' with the bones, and there. are remains of eggs, with very occasional portions of embryos. From fossilised teeth - information about their food is deduced and the type of rocks in which the fossils arc preserved tell of the geography and climate. There is a good collec- tion of Dinosaurs in London. and others in Europse but by far the finest collections are in- Canada and the United States for the types of geological beds which preserve the bones are more amply repre- sented there; Dinosaurs lived for a hundred millions years and then vanistied mate and the nature of plants, all of which made demands on a stock aeons old tn habits. They had their" shortages of food, shelter. and, most potent of all, shortage of brain, Dr. Swinton concluded by describ- ing his visit to the world's largest telescope on Mount Palomar in Californja. With -it 'man can see systems incredibly remote, whose light takes one hundred and forty million years to reach. the earth, "Light that left the outei nebulae when the Dinogaurs were alive and were masters of .the world now gleams upon their honoured bones," he said.
