aure the death-like stiffness
The calf is at present stabbed or
tethered about so feet behind the
hotel that houses Jennings and his
players. He is not a union calf
because he works "a hours day and
doesn't seem to take any time out

ing the fact that he has lost ms

and he tells the world all about It

During the daylight hours, THIS
bit of animated veal confines him
self TO an occasional protest against
the sort of deal that has been
handed him. His voice probably
would NOT sand the full schedule OF
heavy duty. But just as soon as
the sun sinks to rest, he cuts loose
and shows what a hard-working
calf can do ir the way Of yocaliz-
ing. His range is remarkable and
the volume of sound that issues
from his small body is almost be-
yond belief. He isn't a boy tenor
either, but can strike low G or high

tone.
Naturally. this continuous bovine
solo does not help anybody who is

reasonable to think that some of
them would take to the other call

time is to Get five or six Of the
most progressive schools in the
