"The navy department wants lads
from the country" he said. "The navy
is not particularly a calling for the
sailor, but 1t is place for a man who

BUILDS ITS NEST OF MUD

Swallows Make ThelP
Homes.

Years ago, before houses and barns
were as plentiful as they are now, the
cliff swallow built its house of tiny
mud bricks on the side of a rocky
cliff, says the Philadelphia North
American. The nest builders find q
convenient patch of clay, roll up the
mud into tiny pellets and carry them
to their nesting site. There they
fashion them into a home as skill

ally found on the sides of cliffs they
named the bird the cliff swallow.
Today the bird doesn't have to find
a cliff for its home. A sheltered place
under the caves of a barn will suit
it just as well. You'll find more cliff
swallows today at home under the
caves than you will in their ancestral
castles on the rocks.
The bird wears a shiny blue black
coat aid brownish yellow vest. Its
tail, reddish brown, is only slightly
forked, which distinguishes it from
the regular Swallow tails"
Perhaps you have been told that tt a
nest Of the cliff swallow is infest'
with bedbugs, and perhaps you have
torn down all the nests you could find
to get rid of the pests. This Is

SCHOOL OF MINES
TO REOPEN IN
GOLOF|ElD
COURSES WILL BE MORE INTER
ESTING THAN LAST
TERM

The Goldfield school of mines
will reopen tomorrow after the
summer graduation period and Pro-
lessor c. +. Holman will continue
in charge of the school.
The institution opened in June of
last year and it is expected the
attendance during the coming term
will be fully as large as it was last
term, when an excellent record in
this respect was made. Professor
Holman will endeavor to secure
the cooperation of mine and mill
heads in interesting men in the
school and in this way keep the at
tendance up to standard.
The courses this term will be
more practical and interesting than
any time since the school was open
ed, as they were arranged at Reno
during the summer so as to make
the work more individual, in this
way eliminating the necessity for
students to be regular attendants to
maintain their standing.

RUFFE0 GROUSE SMART BIRD
Eeathered Creature Takes Advantage
of His Natural Camoufiaoe and
Is Hard to Shoot

The ruffed grouse is the greatest
game bird in this country and prob
ably is hit less than any bird in the
world with the possible exception of
the snipe.
Nature has endowed the ruffed
grouse with the means of protection
and the way the bird uses these means
makes him seem q brainy creature.
The color of the ruffed grouse so
closely resembles the woodland sur
roundings in the fall that n may
almost walk on them without seeing
them. The bird, making use of its
coloring, generally lives in rugged
country, where underbrush and spruce
make his detection difficult.
Once flushed, the ruffed grouse flies
so as to put a tree between himself
and the hunter, adding to the difficulty
Of locating him. The bird, unlike quail,
Is seldom found in coveys and conse-
quently is hard to hit.
The hunter must always be ready
with gun in position to shoot and
shoot quick.
Work well the underbrush and little
spruces along the sides of ravines. Go
In the dense places In the woodland,
for the ruffed grouse Is a recluse.
The grouse, when once under way,
will fly straight, and it is well to hunt
him with more than n in the party.
The hunter who might be on the line
of flight Is sure to get q shot.
The ruffed grouse rises from cover
with thunderous precision and the sue
cessful hunter of this bird must leave
his nerves" at home. The uninitiated
Is liable to be more frightened than
the bird.
Ruled grouse do not lie well to the
dog, running speedily and quietly
ahead or the animal before making
flight.

Uniforms Too TIGHT.

The army council order about the
tightness and fitting of soldiers uni.
forms led to expert discussion as to
which force has the best, says the
London Chronicle. Wounded officers
with experience ranging from Bagdad
to Ypres voted for the Australian.
It's shirtlike tunic with buttoned
sleeves is ideally wOrkmanlike. The
Norfolk jacket-like w%aistband gives
trimness without necessitating the
wearing of a belt.
And just as unanimously expert
opinion declared the u. S. A. uniform
the worst.
"It's too tight-it's skin tight. Bless
you, the pockets won't hold anything
they're for appearance. You couldn't
cram a handkerchief in one. And ]
used to carry quite comfortably a pair
of socks, a couple of Mills grenades, O
tin of bully, chocolate, cigarettes, and
my revolver in m side of my jacket.
"a thing in your pocket is worth q
stone in your haversack."
