Wild species are found only in certain definite places, usually within a limited range, as natural conditions have eliminated them from some regions and restricted them to others. Without natural curiosity man would never have progressed beyond a certain stage of development. This is particularly true in the field of natural' science. Surrounded by innumerable plants and animals of different kinds, man has g r a d u a l l y , t h r o u g h t h e a g e s , learned to distinglish many of them. Yet he has not yet found all living and extinct species of plants and animaM. • Each scientific expedition to areas not previously collected or at best only superfically studied brings back numerous species new to science and/or new to the locality in which they were found. Ceytai Builds Giant Danp Bulldozer . gangs are clearing Jungle land to make room for thousands of workers who will build a giant dam at Gal Oya in Ceylon. The dam is scheduled for completion by 1953 and, as in the case of the Tennessee Valley Authority in the United States, its benefits will spread through many phases of the nation's economy. Through irrigation, it will add 100,- 000 acres to Ceylon's rice-producing land, and another 10,000 acres for sugar cane production. Power generated at the dam will be used to run a new factory to process the sugar cane and also to open up other industries. Drivers' Visien Test Four cardinal elements of good vision for automobile drivers are: 1. Acuity--ability to aee clearly with each eye separately and both together at a distance of 20 feet or more. 2. Side vision to detect moving objects at a minimum of 70 degrees to each side. 3. Depth perception -- ability to judge distance and space relationships./ dependent on proper co-ordination of the two eyes. 4. Resistance to glare--meaning both ability to see in the face of oncoming headlights and to recover quickly after the blinding «Mect of glare.

At that point, a policeman arrested the two disputants on a charge of disorderly conduct He said they had "caused a crowd to collect." However, the court found them not guilty--on the ground that the three onlookers did not constitute a "crowd." The judge said that three's a crowd at certain times and places, but not on a busy street in- the middle of the dayl If Your Conwy tufMt, Dots it Still "Belong" to Yon? A bachelor had a tame canary named "Sweetie." One day the bird escaped from its cage and fluttered to $he street There an alert neighbor caught it took it Into his house, and stubbornly refused to give it back. But when the bachelor sued, the court ordered the neighbor to restore the canary to its original owner. Hie Judge figured that a creature tame as "Sweetie" should not be considered fair gams fdr the public just because it happens to escape momentarily from its owner's control. • • • During an argument in a night club, a slightly tipsy gentleman called a young woman a "doggone liar." The woman's husband, a husky six-footer, promptly waded in and gave the man a sound thrashing. Later the victym sued the husband for assault and battery The husband pleaded that he had been "provoked" into the attack, but the court held him liable anyhow.

May a Lawyer Be Dnborfod f Bocaaso of Laziness? •> A widow placed her affairs In the hands of an attorney. Unfortunately he was a very lazy man, and proved to be anything bat diligent in guarding his client's interests. Finally the exasperated lady made such a spirited complaint to the bar association that disbarment proceedings were filed against the lawyer: However, the court ruled out any such drastic punishment. The Judge said that, while the man might be lazy, he still wasn't crooked--and therefore shouldn't be disbarred. Penetrating 4oor sealers are used frequently on floors where traffic is quits heavy.

L y But pound for pound, this prtdeful Bukk_ SPECIAL sells today for less than storebought butter! ; Actually, it costl less per pound than some of the cars in the so-called "lowest price" bracket -- less than any other straight-eight on the market. Now that's a pretty important yardstick. Because cost-per»pound is a pretty stably measure of a car's merit. It takes skilful engineering, careful buying, efficient manufacturing to keep this figure around the half-dollar mark--and that's where it is on the 1950 SPECIAL 4-door S^dan* * ' Wkmm bmttmr wlo--oWtoi mrm bmilt BUMCK w*iU bntt* thmm The real point, of ^cotirge, l» that thia is a Buick at that figure.
