Even the greatest dinosaurs which splashed along the shores of inland lakes a 100 million years ago were dwarfed by this stupen dous creature unable to match it either in weight or length. THE LONGEST sulphur-bottom ever measured with a steel tape was 111 feet. Quite likely there have been larger ones. Like all other whales, the sul phur bottom cannot breathe through its mouth a special nasal passage connects directly from the blowhole to its lungs. This per mits the whale to gulp its food be neath the surface without getting water in its lungs. The lungs extend well back into the whale much father than In other mammals which- helps bal ance the animal in water. The skin is soft. Temperature regulating sweat glands have been eliminated and instead there is a very warm thick layer of blub ber from eight to 20 inches thick between skin and dark flesh. Th's retains the bodv temperature which is slightly below that of a horse, risht around 98 degrees Filrenheit. It has a few hairs usually a cluster of short, brittle chin whis kers numbering around 32, and occasionally a dozen or two on top of the head, though most are bald. ALONG THE THROAT, breast and belly it has from 80 to 100 great .accordion-like pleats which permit the great lungs to expand and fill up their entire capacity before sounding, sometimes going down where the pressure is 1,400 pounds to the square men! Ears have virtually disappeared the only thing to be seen being two knitting needle sized openings a vara behind the eyes. The brown eyes are about twice the size of a cow's in contrast a giant squid may have eyes nine inches across! The largest sulphur - bottomed whale ever to be weighed, in 1947, was an. 89-foot female. (Females are always larger than males.) Her girth was 43 feet and six inches. As females go in Arctic regions, that was not fat. The flukes measured 20 feet from tip to tip in contrast to a fish's horizontal tail, a whale's flukes are always horizontal. (When a whale is harpooned near the fluke, the whale cannot pull the strain of the rope straigntens out the hodv). The flippers were nearly 10 feet long. (The flippers contain five finger-like bones overlaid with tissues and blubber to form a pad Hip and used onlv in turning and ascending. The hind limbs have completely disappeared externally and exist only as ruaimemary bones, burled deep In the body the longer, the femur, being per haps four inches in length, the about the size of a walnut.) Weighed in sections with some of the tons of blood lost, this female lower leg bone, the tibia, being weighed 300,707 pounds more than 150 tons! The heart weighed 950 pounds, almost a half ton; the liver, 2,000 pounds, a ton; the flabby tongue, 6,000 pounds, three tons! The power and strength of this animal, as to be expected, is tre mendous: It has pulled whaling ships forward for many hours at ten miles an hour while the en gines were going full speed astern. Just why it was named me sul phur - bottom whale is unknown. Its topside color tends toward gray, blue, white. A much better name is that given by the Nor wegians, the blue whale. At a dis tance, in the water it looks as though its body has been washed with bluing. o o o o o o o o o Business As Usual During Our Complete Remodeling FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE All departments are operating - - Complete Stock of New Dodges and Plymouths Many Outstanding Remodeling Specials on Used Cars Service Department Open - Temporary Entrance in Rear 4.

Milwaukee and Cleveland were off and winning and the New York Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees couldn't do a thing about it. The preseason popularity polls had Milwaukee's Braves copping the National League flag, with the world champion Giants and Brooks somewhere behind. Cleveland was picked to repeat in the American, again beating out the Yanks. Milwaukee and Cleveland made hay yesterday while the other three pe.nant contenders were stopped by rain.

Shortly before the former Pres ident was scheduled ta throw out the first bell in the Kansas City Athletics' opener against Detroit Tuesday, Mrs. Truman was asked which hand her husband would use. "I don't know," she replied. "And I don't believe he knows yet. He's not very good either way." til old Ewell Blackwell made Red Wilson bloop a double play hall t ageless Pete Suder. There wasn't enough room to let all the eager Kansas Citians see the affair.' So Truman was scheduled tor the first pitch a?ain Wednesday, ready to shoot with either hand that gets hold of the ball first. , Besides the ambidextrous Tru man, the Athletics planned to pitch Arnold Portoearrero, a fireball righthander. Arrayed against him for the Ti gers was Steve Gromek whose rec ord last year was 18 victories against 16 losses to Portocarrero's 9-18. It was doubtful Wednesday's re take would draw the sellout 32,844 that 'watched the opener but no one would give big odds on it. Not after the way this baseball crazy town took to their rejuve nated Athletics Tuesday. Ring Record ' TUESDAY'S FIGHTS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BILLINGS, Mont.
