It also presents serialized fiction excerpts and a medical column on saving premature babies, urging humane treatment and modern neonatal care.
A long and fragmented essay recounts Dr. Charles Haskins Townsend's study of Galapagos tortoises and whaling logs. It ties Townsend's map work to U S territorial claims, noting 53 877 whales and 1 665 whaler voyages from 1761 to 1920. It also links a Globe Amarillo editorial and letters from readers about military uniforms in London shores.

It asks if the honor allows the leader to drive first, warns against walking ahead of a ball closer to the green, prescribes standing to the side when an opponent drives, requires letting faster groups pass when balls are lost, and advises staying still when a partner prepares to drive. It suggests choosing to stop playing with a consistently rude partner after nine or eighteen holes.
A brief puzzle note asks readers to recall two countries in the Chaco boundary dispute, the last U S Constitution amendment, which South American country endured a severe January 1939 earthquake, and whether a 200 mile neutrality zone was agreed by a September meeting of the Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics in Panama, with answers on the comic page.
