LOSES SISOO IN TELEPHONE DIRECTORY—AND FINDS IT ■ » Joseph V. Harkins of Brighton, Mass., left his Jewelry store one Saturday night recently with $1,500 in bills in his pocket. It was too late to deposit the money In the bank, so he headed straight home and slipped it into the telephone directory. He forget the currency when he left the house the following Monday mor dng, but on his return that evi dng he went to get his money, and found a brand new directory in place of the old book, which had been collected during the day. Somewhat dazed, he called the telephone company, and was told that the old directories which had been collected were stored in a local garage and that there were 100,000 of them. Quite undaunted by the task before him, Harkins telephoned his sister, her husband, and a couple of nephews and hurried to the garage. There the search began in earnest. It lasted all night and all day, as they pored over the books, taking turns to dash home for food and a couple of hours’ sleep. They had gone through more than three quarters of the directories when suddenly the air was filled with fluttering paper. Fifteen hundred dollars in bills dropped to the floor as one of the searchers waved a directory high above his head.

Tree-Ring Patterns Date Prehistoric Artifacts To the uninitiated the methods by which archeologists determine the age of the various things they dig up are often mysterious, especially when the material antedates civilization’s written records. One of the methods is dendrochronology—or the use of tree rings, as an archeological calendar—which has been successfully applied in dating prehistoric artifacts excavated from sites in the American Southwest. The method originated with an astronomer who very much wanted weather records extending back much farther than existing statistics. This astronomer, Dr. A. E. Douglass, director of the Seward observatory, University of Arizona at Tucson, required weather records that would tell the relation between sun spots and the earth’s atmosphere. In his need, he hit upon the fact that trees add a ring for each year of growth and that these rings vary according to the moisture supplied to the trees by rain and snow. Wet years produce broad rings, and dry years narrow rings. By careful study of hundreds of these trees, Dr. Douglass has derived an unbroken succession of treering patterns giving a continuous weather record for his section of the country for more than 1,200 years. Conscientious Motorist Sends Family New Dog This is a story attested to by two newspapers, as well as by a reliable correspondent, although no names are supplied with it. It is interesting and unusual and it parallels the government’s famous “Conscience Fund.” A Philadelphian and his wife missed their cherished young cocker spaniel which had gone out on the street for a walk. They found him dead in the middle of the road, evidently run over by a car. He had been wearing a handsome collar with a license tag on it. His collar was gone, presumably stolen. ’A week later, the couple received word from the Railway Express company that a “package” had arrived at the company’s office for them. They drove there to pick it up. Itwas a crate, containing a live cocker spaniel pup, as much as possible like the cocker which had been run over and killed. The new puppy’s throat was encircled by the dead dog’s collar—license tag and all. Evidently, someone had run over the first cocker by accident and, from the license tag, had gained a clue to the name and address of the owner, and then had bought a valuable new cocker, put the collar on him and shipped him by express.

Trout Gives Angler Lip A cut-throat trout which just couldn’t learn from experience provided a rare fishing thrill for two anglers in Yellowstone National Park last year. It also provided rangers with one of the tallest, though true, fish stories of the current season. The anglers, respectable citizens of Louisville, Ky., were A. W. Lee and H. O. Hurr. Messrs. Lee and Hurr had gone fishing in Elk Antler creek, near Canyon, when suddenly Lee had a strike which snapped his leader about five inches from the fly. The next day the two fishermen returned to Elk Antler creek, and there, swimming under the bridge, was the old cut-throat with Lee’s fly in his lip. Watching him for a while, Hurr said boastfully: “Tomorrow I’m going back and get that old fellow.” And, true to his prophecy, Hurr did go back—and did land the cutthroat, returning the lost fly to Lee. The unlucky trout, 19 inches long and weighing 3'/z pounds, was given to Ranger Naturalist Wayne F. Replogle, whe entertained guests that evening at a fish fry.

over the Winchester Warriors. The entire local team was revamped into a fast breaking, hard charging aggregation of which Speedway might well be very proud. Sharing the limelight with brother Jimmy was the other half of Speedway’s “Twin Terrors,” Charley, who was playing in the pivot position instead of his regular position. The latter accounted for eight of Speedway’s thirty points, six of which were scored in the first half on two fielders and a pair of charity tosses. Another surprising factor in Friday night’s game was, that up until the last minute of the final quarter, there wasn’t a single alteration in the Brown and Gold starting line-up. There was considerable comment throughout the game as to whether Speedway was playing so well in spite of, or because of, the fact that neither of Speedway’s two Junior centers were in the line-up. Floyd Workman and Bud Jenkins, who usually take turns at playing tiie pivot position, were both compelled to miss this game because of illness.

The game opened with Speedway taking the tip-off and Young immediately fouled Ewing. Ewing missed both of his free throws, but seconds later, he retaliated with a beautiful two-hand short shot. Moore started the scoring for the Warr ions by hitting a short under the basket, but C. Tremor pushed the Spark Plugs ahead by dunking in a very difficult two-hand pivot shot. J. Tremor and Moore exchanged longs from their respective corners. Phipps fouled Moore who failed to do any damage from the free throw line. Mood then came into the game for Hart in the Warrior’s lineup and they immediately called for a time-out period witji three minutes remaining in the first quarter and the score standing at 6 for Speedway and 4 for New Winchester. When play was resumed, J. Tremor scored on a dazzling fast break for the basket and returned less than a half minute later to bang in a long from the corner. Ewing took the ball on a fast break, but he missed his shot however, big Joe Powderly very nonchalantly batted the ball into the net on the rebound, thus adding two points to the Speedway cause. Thus ended the first quarter of the game with the locals on the long end of the 12 to 4 scoreboard reading. During the rest period between quarters, Hart returned to the game for Mood. After about two minutes of scrimmage in the second quarter, Young fouled J. Tremor, who missed his free throw, but this time it was brother Charles who gained the crowd’s good graces by tipping in the rebound. J. Tremor fouled Cline in the act of shooting and said Warrior was good for one of his free throws. Phipps fouled Moore in the act of shooting and likewise, Moore was good for only half of his free throws. Moore redeemed himself a little later though by zipping a very long shot squarely into the cord. At this point in the second quarter, Speedway called their first time out. After time was called in, J. Tremor, while trying to steal the ball, fouled Cline, who failed to take advantage of the donation. J. Tremor again brought a roar of approval from the Speedway fans by scoring beautifully on a blistering fast break. Young fouled C. Tremor, but Charle missed. Cline took the ball and was heading for the Winchester basket with all stops out, when he came face to face—in mid-air—with Joe Powderly. Now any physicists who might have been present would have instantly recognized this as a perfect example of that ancient and foreboding problem concerning an irresistable force and an immovable object. Well, the referee, exidently not interested in physics and seeking an easy way out of this mess, called a double foul on the two players concerned: Cline missed his shot while Powderly hit his shot seemingly effortless. Powderly fouled Hart in the act of shooting and Hart very obligingly missed both attempts. Hart fouled Phipps, who hit and the half ended with about a minute and a half of scoreless scrimmage. At the mid-way point the score was 18 to P. in favor of the Brown and Gold. Despite the fact that Charley Tremor was playing out of his regular position, he had already chalked up six points while brother Jimmy was in the process of potting four fielders., It seems as though Coach Johnson has finally come upon a winning combination, despite the fact that both of his mainstays in the height department were missing. Compared to the usual run of basketball teams, Speedway’s net crew is built rather close to the hardwood, but this need not be accepted as a reason for their topheavy string of defeats, the boys proved that by their ultimate victory over the Warriors. Speedway opened the second hah by taking the first five points that were scored on a long and " free throw by J. Tremor and another one of those dazzling fast breaks by Phipps. Smith came into the game for Jones and the Warriors called time out. After the time out period, Ewing fouled Hart, who hit his free.throw, giving the visitors their first point r'ince approximately mid-way in ♦he second quarter. This was added to when Young hit a nice two’■nud undcr-the-basket shot. In the ensuing scrimmage there was another double foul executed. This lime it was Phinps and Young who locked horns, but this time it vvas the Warriors who gained a point and the Spar Plugs who failed to move any farther down the scoring line. Hart fouled C. Tremor, who missed and J. Tremor fouled Smith in the act of shooting, but Smith was good for only one of his donation tosses. With a bit ol

scoreless but exciting scrimmage rounding out the necessary eight minutes, the third quarter ended with the score 23 to 15 in favor of the Brown and Gold. Early in the final quarter Cline fouled J. Tremor, who missed his free throw, but again big Joe Powderly tipped the ball in on a rebound shot. Cline fouls, for his fourth of the game, Ewing, who missed his free throw and Mood replaces Cline, who was automatically ruled off the floor. Ewing fouled Young, who made good on his attempt at the free throw line. Hart, after having tossed in a two-hander from under the basket, fouled J. Tremor, who also hit on his free one. C. Tremor scored on a drive under the basket and Hart left the game in favor of Young after which Winchester immediately called timeout. At this particular point in the game there were but three minutes of play remaining and the Spark Plugs were leading the Winchester Warriors, 28 to 18. Play was scarcely been resumed when Powderly batted in another rebound shot after an attempt by Phipps. Hart returned to the game for Jones and with one-half minute to
