A BITE FOR A MEAL

A bite will sometimes cost a metal: A crust at times a banquet steal. --Old Mother Nature.

iiiiui (lid Mother Nature means 1- that the iinpntieiit and the un uisc nilcn cannot wait but go after .-t sot:-ill thing and lose a big thing. it is very true. It happens not only ttliil boys and girls and some of the grownups, but also with some of the turreti and feathered folk of the Green Meadows and the (lrccn 1-iorcsl: it happened with Hooty the Great Horned Owl big nest of the Owl family.

Hooty had almost caught Peter Roiihit. if Peter had had to take nor more jump Hooty would have ..-uigiit him. As it was Peter had '!1'cti headlong through the open mm:-nay into Johnny Chuch's house.

But Peter was cautious He had had such a fright that he was tak mg no chances if he could help it. So he sat and sat and sat in the doorway, wanting to run home to the dear Old Briar Patch but a fraid to. On top of that stake Hooty sat perfectly still. He felt sure that sooner or later Peter would come wholly out and start for home. All he had to do was be patient. He had learned patience when he was very young. All hunters have to be patient if they would succeed.

At long last Peter moved. but he

didn't come out. He drew hack in stead so that Hooty could no longer see him. It was just then that Hooty's big. wonderful cars heard

of him. Instantly he turned his head. as only an Owl can. lie turn ed his head so that it looked as if it was on backward. Once more he heard that faint rustling sound. There was a Mouse over there in the grass. There was no coubt about it. linoiy spread his big wings and glided over to the place from which that faint rustling sound had come. A niomeiit later he had a small Mouse. He flew back to the stake with it, That Mouse was no more than a bite. Hooty was very hungry and a bite was better than nothing. But that bite had cost him a real vlinner. Peter had just been on the point of coming out and starting for home in the dear Old Brlar Patch when Hooty had turned his head for that look behind. The move ment of Hooty's head was seen by

Strange But True By l-i. ll; MacArthur,

Klthougb 1.000 men work on dog lsltind. in the Detroit Rlver'ncar River Rough. Micl1.. nobody lives there. Grass and trees are more scarce than in a desert. Slag dumps cover ancient Indian graves. U The 324-acre island houses the Great Lakes Steel Corporation's blast furnace division. plus chemic- al and oil concerns. Twenty-seven miles of railroad tracks are used by three rail companies. The big- gest blast furnace in the world is the one turning out 50.000 tons of iron each month on the island. The island has facilities of a coni- plete community. There are a cafet- "la, fire and police departments, a store, and a small hospital. The island 'ieel output reaches 2.000.- 000 tons a year.

What caused a Hindu to spend seven years in a world of living death, and then suddenly bccume a normal human being again? This. is the question involved in a strange case reported to the American Psychiatric Association by Dr. N.S. Vania, of Bombay. India. The man was his patient. The Hindu was 56 years old" when-it began. He had lost his job. For two months he fretted and fumed. and thenlone day he became like a dead man - except that he still lived.

"His body kept on functioning. but his mlw refused to exer ise sovereignty over-sit," Dr. Vahia e- orted. For seven years the man remained in bed. His body continu- ed to function. and his tempera- ture remained normal. But his arms and legs never moved; he had to be fed through his veins.

Then one morning Dr. Vahis re- ported. the man went into convul- sions. At the end of the attack he began moving his fingers and his eyes. As the weks passed he be- icame a normal man.

l Aesop started it when in his fables i e painted the fox as a craf- ty villain. The legend has lived a long time. and the fox has been poisoned. trapped. and shot. But the fox has thrived with it all. In the last six years Wisconsin has paid out 3100.000 on bounties on foxes, but the campaign has had no great effect on the fox population of the state.

The fox lives on his courage and wits. Men and dogs caiinoi do much about him. Only the destruction of the habitat in which he lives can drive him from an area. The fox does not have a fussy appetite. He will eat almost anything - carrion, turtles. birds. fresh or frozen ber- ries and fruits. snakes. and even woodchucks. He also likes it fat hen - and that's why so many farmers despise him.

Gray and red foxes are the most common. The red fox is reputed to be the smarter. He also has a habit of showing contempt - during I hunt he will curl up for a rest while the hounds track him. While
