...abnormalities. A single deep crease, instead of two separated lines, from the base of the index finger to the base of the pinkie is known as a "simian line" (see diagram). It occurs with many disorders including mongolism and some rubella (German measles) defects. Also unusual is a radial loop pattern pointing toward the thumb in the ridges of any finger other than the index...

On horseback, the roper must run down and lasso the charging calf-then leap from his horse, wrestle the infuriated animal onto its side, loop three of its legs together with a "pigging string" and finish off his handiwork with a nonslip "hooey" knot. The race is against time (experts can do the whole job in 15 sec. or less), and it requires exquisite teamwork between the cowpoke and his mount (Will Rogers once remarked...
