THE EVENING NewYorkWorld'sFair| From Yard to Garden, No. 1 Opens Today for Second Season Affair Aimed This Year At Average Man in Hope Of Getting Out of Red By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 11—In a glit- tering county fair atmosphere, with the accent on fun instead of formal- fty, the $160,000000 New York World’s Fair opened today for its second season. Contrasting with the starched pomp and circumstance of opening day last year, the program was aimed directly, openly and un- ashamedly at average people in the hope of coming out of the red. The formal opening was set for 10 am, but confirmed fairgoers— either . county or world—were on hand long before that hour to gape at the colorful and spectacular lay- out of grounds, gardens and build- ings on the Flushing meadows. The electric tempo of opening day was sparked by zooming squad- rons of airplanes, booming salutes, the raising of flags and banners, blaring bands and costumed and uniformed marchers by the thou- sands. The dignitaries present had fair warning to lay dignity aside. A few speeches were on the program, to be sure, but they were brief and even Gov. was down for only 10 minutes to dedicate the fair to “lib- erty and freedom,” a particularly significant dedication. Mayor La Guardia, scissors in hand, was ready to snip the gay ribbon across the administration gate entrance for the traditional “official” opening and to signal the start of the opening day parade through the exposition grounds to the court of peace. ‘There, in addition to the Governor and the Mayor, Fair President Gro- ver Whalen was on the program and ‘Harvey Gibson, the banker turned showman, who is chairman of the Fair Board, was master of cere- monies. Representatives of foreign exhib- ftors at the fair, in native costume, military and naval units, Boy Scouts, & 20-mule prairie schooner flanked by frontiersmen afoot and on horse- back, were listed for the parade. A prominent place in line was reserved for “Elmer,” the . typical average American for whom the fair has been designed and priced this year. Thes fair people have spent some $8,000,000 revamping the fair for Elmer and his friends and neighbors. 5 ‘There’ll be more festivities tonight at the official opening of the amuse- ment area.

NEW YORK, May 11.—The little White-haired man who ran an el- evator at Bellevue Hospital is dead and now his story can be told. They knew him there as plain Lewis Foote—a kind old fellow who spent most of his $45 a month for toys for sick youngsters—a jolly old man who astounded his friends, the | nurses and internes, with his pro- found medical knowledge. ‘Today, they knew him as Dr. Lewis Nathaniel Foote, whose nine- year-old secret was disclosed after he died of a heart attack Monday. Dr. William F. Jacobs, Bellevue supervisor, said that Dr. Foote came to him in 1931 and asked for a job. Dr. Foote wanted to give up his suc- cessful practice of 34 years. He was uninterested in it longer because his mother’s death had shattered his interest in life. But he wanted to be useful in some way and near to the profession he was abandon- ::l;cn elevator job would be all Dr. Jacobs took his story in con- fidence and gave him the job. The 67-year-old physician, for- merly on the staffs of several New York City hospitals; will be buried Monday with his Bellevue friends footing the bill.

Nature’s Children Douglass’ Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma douglassii) By LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Let us as naturalists place each subject where it properly belongs. In this way we will always find it easier to obtain the information we wish to have. This is particularly true of the horned lizards, wrongly called horned toads. Once the difference is known, you can see why they should never be confused with each other in your thought. You will find horned lizards only in the western part of the United States and in Mexico. These lizards have a very wide, and exceedingly flat, toad-shaped body, which is the only similarity they do have to toads. The head and temple are covered with sharp, conical horns, and the back is clothed in tiny, granular scales. Giant sized, sharp- ly pointed scales resembling small pyramids are buried in the skin and scattered among the minute scales. No toad ever had such an array of bayonets. Douglass’ horned lizard is known in the northern Pacific district, which includes the slopes of the Sierra Nevada range. It is dis- tinguished from the others in this genus by its mere tubercles in the place of horns, and its limbs are shorter. This lizard is very interesting in that it can take on the color of the soil in which it resides. The lizards have been known to take on a pinkish tinge with white spots, when the sofl had this color in it, | i and there we: scattered over The' young tember and delicate, smooth what we may § as they scam expert fashion when only minutes old. dents never 2E 1] 3501 illiamsburg Lane This new Colonial home has on the first floor a spacious livin, room, dining laval room, pantry, kitchen, library and ry; on the second, three l-lrg’e bedroo: ms with com- modious closets and two baths; large, light basement, with maid’s room and full bath; two-car garage; house insulated and furred, air conditioned.
