Paul Opitz. a veteran hunter and
trapper of Hanley, in the upper pen
insula, was in Munising, Mich, short
time ago to collect bounty on the last
of a pack of twelve wolves he had
killed near his home. Mr.. Opitz is
quoted as saying that a new breed OF
wolves infesting the upper Michigan
region, threaten to soon outnumber
the deer. The new breed is a cross
between a wolf and coyote, accord
ing to this man.
There is one point in the game
laws that it not receiving the atten-
ton it should" said Opitz, "and that
is the increasing number Of wolves.
1t isn't the timber wolves any more
that is causing all the trouble either,
but it is new breed.
"The new wolves, slightly larger
than a coyote, not so large as a tim
Der wolf, but containing the daring
of the latter, probably originated from
the bunch of coyotes which escaped
from Presque Isle some years ago.
Government experts say they are coy
otes, but if they could see some Of
the full grown ones they might change
their views"
Opitz, who is known by the trappers
and the Indians in this section as
Slowfoot, says that it does not pay
trappers to go to the trouble of trap
ping the new breed of wolves, as they
are remarkably clever in evading the
traps.

The EdeIwelss.

The tourist In the Alps wears q
bunch Of edelwelss as evidence Of
prowess In scaling high peaks, for It
Is a matter Of common belief that this
Is plant found only In lofty and not
easily accessible places, also that 1t Is
peculiar to the Alps. In his book Of
Alpine rambles E. s. Salisbury revises
these impressions. In the Alps the
plant is really one Of the heights, and
seeking II In the wild state below
about $500 feet Is useless. Under
cultivation, however. II grows In much
lower regions. even far from the noun
talns, magnificent specimens having
been seen In garden In Ireland. The
wild edelwelss is also not confined to
Switzerland, but is a widely distrib-
uted mountain plant found on almost
all mountain ranges OF the northern
hemisphere, and is abundant even In
the comparatively low attitudes Of the
Siberian steppes. The flower is priced
not for rarity but for Its intrinsic
beauty, and because II Is 80 eminently
characteristic Of alpine regions. The
white, starlike fiower-heads are con-
spicuously uncommon In the fact that
the woolly rays are only the incloslng
bracts Of the flower cluster, and not
strap-shaped petals such as are met
with In the daisies and chrysanthe-
NUNS.

I love high tragedy, the sublime,

great men are more truly great than
in history. We see them only In the
crises which unfold them, In the mo-
ments Of supreme decision; and we
are not burdened with all the pre-
paratory details and conjectures, often
false, which the historian gives US.
Tragedy should be he

weakness or quiverlng Of the flesh is
seen.

Of modern times. I am en-
vious for my dear France that she
has never produced a rival to Dante.
that this colossus has not had his
equal among US. No, there Is no rep
utation which can be compared with
his.

futile work, serving no purpose, and

THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE
BIRTH OF THE LINEN COLLAR
According to History, Blacksmith
Wife Invented Modern Mans
Greatest AffiIctlon.

The wife of q Troy IN. ~ black.
smith Is said to have been the first
person to have made separate collars
for mems shirts. This happened In
1926, and men have been suffering
ever since. Outside of inventing the
separate collar, this woman did the
family washing.
Accordingly she set herself to work
making separate collars for her hus-
bands shirts and then made enough
to sell outside the home. This innova-
ton attracted the attention Of Rev.
Ebenezer Brown. a retired Methodist
minister, and he, with the aid Of the
women Of his family, went about sell.
Ing collars. This was In 1929.
All the work on these early collars
was done by hand, for the sewing ma
chine had not yet been invented. In
those days not more than dozen COL
lars day were sold. Their name
"string collars"-was specially appro-
pirate. for they were tied around the
neck with string Of tape attached to
each end Of the collar. Except the
bands, the first separate collars were
generally all linen and Of two thick
nesses, although some were faced with
cotton cloth. They were slightly stiff
fened and had high points extending
above the chin on either side.-Popu.
