Wild rabbits have become so com

conclusion that the Dummies are de-

It is no uncommon sight to see rab-
bits in pairs playing about the streets,
and instead of running away at sight
of persons approaching they simply
scamper through a fence or take ref
uge behind tree, where they seem
as much at home and as secure as if
they were in their burrows. Another
feature of the case is that many are
nesting on lawns and vacant lots,
where the young are caught by cats
or destroyed by dogs.
