WARNS SWING DANCERS
HOLLYWOOD. Dec. — Amer
ica’s younger generation has
been warned by Dancer-Actor
George Murphy to beware of
“watermelon” knees if swing
dancing stays in vogue much
longer. He says the continual
kicking of the heels against the
floor injures the patella and liga
ments of the knee joint produc
ing a result like water on the
knee.
MASTODONS ON WAY
BACK TO TREASURE ISLE
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. —Lan
tern-jawed mastodons which
plodded over desolate marsh
land wastes of San Fransisco Bay
a million years ago will return to
that ‘^wasteland” in 1939.
The “wasteland” of the masto
don era, scientists have determin
ed, was the section of San Fran
cisco Bay from which men and
machines of today have raised
picturesque Treasure Island, site
of the Golden Gate International
Exposition.
And the mastodons of tomor
row—the ones which will return
Ho the area of their former
haunts—will rjot be the bulky,
unwieldy animals of yesteryear,
but aocurate reproductions in
clay and plaster, molded by Uni
versity of California paleontol
ogists preparing an exhibit for
the Hall of Science.
The black pliocene morass
which later became San Fran
cisco Bay has provided the back
ground for six dioramas being
prepared as part of the Univer
sity’s $200,000 exhibit in tfce Ex
position’s $50,000,000 fair. Each
will show in miniature some
phase of paleontology.
-Besides the mastodons, sabre
tooth tigers, horn nosed synth
eotoceros (or deer) and other
mammals will be modeled. Fos
silized bones taken from Ven
tura, San Joaquin Valley, St.
John’s Ariz., and the Craddodk
bone beds of Texas will be the
basis of the reproductions

Santas Turn
Uncle John had sent father a
p pe for Christmas. But father
, never smoked a pipe. As it came
from a long distance it could not
be changed The family was dis
cussing the problem of what to
do wiith it when 'five-year*-old
Bobby spoke up: “I know! Give
it to Santa Claus. He's been good
to us.”
The coat and pants do all the
work, but the vest gets all the
gravy.
