STUDENTS IN THE WOODS.
College Men as Lumbermen Haze q
Deal of Practical Experience.

In the summer some college men work
walters in hotels. and incidentally read essays
on taking tips, some become streetcar cOnduc-
tors, some go back to the farm and scme loaf.
But there few who go to the woods and
work shoulder to shoulder with the brawny
wOodsmen. The men who do the last do
largely because they are taking a forestry
course at college and intend to become scientific
foresters They not only see how numbering is
carried ON. but they carry it on themselves, and
when in the future they hear the word skid
ding" pronounced they know precisely what it
means. for they have piled up logs skidway
themselves. At work they watch keenly how
the veteran woOdsman aims his axe. swings his
saw and cuts out roadways for hauling
logs. They watch everything from the most
minute thing to the size and number of trees
cut. Then they compare the professional lum-
berman's way with how the scientific forester
would do it. they have learned from their
books and professors.
AS lumbermen it doesn't take them long TO
learn that they aren't taking any "cinch
course" How they would howl if their ''prexy'
should suddenly announce at college that an
eighty-four hour week had been cut out for
them. What would they say if their hash
mousse should begin to serve them salt pork

that's what they get at the lumber camp. They

while the grub is free. The boys, however, like
it all In a week their muscles get used

tells them breakfast is about ready. They have

breakfast is on the table. They make their way
to the dining room, which is in another log cabin

TENDERS FOR AUTOMOBILES
English Inventor Would Have the
Cars Garry Cowcatchers as
a Precaution.

A London firm of motor car manu-
t%acturers has recently introduced a
new feature in the shape of pneumatic
cushion buffers for attachment in front
of motor propelled vehicles. The buffer
is in the form of a short arm curved
around the front of each of the steer
ing wheels, and is of such a shape that
in a collision the impact in most cases
will be converted into a glancing blow,
and damage either 10 the car or the
objea1 with which II collides may be
avoided or minimized.
In view of the numerous instances in
which dogs or even children are run
overland killed or MANNED by motor
cars. it is rather surprising that it ap-
parently has not occurred to anyone TO
fit the cars with some such device as
that attached to the front of the cleo
trio tram cars.
Some kind of modified "cowcatcher'
which would gather up a child or a
dog, and hold II out Of danger for he
few moments until the car could be
stopped. might be a means of prevent
ing many lamentable accidents
