...depth of 18 inches in its deepest place. For a while the lake was a saucer of muddy water. Then, Army tank men from nearby Camp Irwin saw the water come to life, seething with millions of wiggly things. They found it swarming with four kinds of shrimp, some of which swam upside down. Others had hard, smooth shells and looked like tiny clams...
...from Los Angeles City and State College, led by Dr. James P. Welsh, went out to investigate. They found that the lake, which only a short time before was hard enough to serve as a playground for tanks, contained at least 4,000,000 specimens of one kind of shrimp alone. Bicycle Lake rarely holds water long enough for shrimp to grow to breeding age. One possibility: dust devils may have picked up shrimp eggs and carried them across the desert. Another guess: the shrimp may have survived, most of the time as eggs, since the period when the Mojave...

To make the diesel debut complete, the company has built a grandstand where 7,000 spectators can watch an hour-long musical (title: "More Power...
About The American Shrimp Girl [TIME, July 25]: I should like to suggest to Painter Philip Evergood that he concentrate on painting sea gulls, shrimp and fish and that he leave the painting of typical American girls to artists more capable than he. For TIME to mention his kindergarten canvas in the same breath as Hogarth's masterpiece [see cut] is nothing short of sacrilegious. Before Evergood can be a good painter, he will have to learn the meaning of humility...
