DEER "C|IUMS" WITH
COWS AND SHEEP
Eight Point Buck Can Be Seen
Grazing on Farm IN New
York.

Many are the interesting idiOSyn.
crasies of wild life met with by the
Conservation Commissions field force
as result Of the many hours spent In
the open. Unusual or noteworthy Oc-
currences are tins constantly being
brought 70 the attention of the com.
mission. An Odhity of this kind which
was of particular interest was recent
ly reported by d. w. Rose, a game
protector of Richfield Springs, OtsegO
county, who told of handsome eight
point buck that could be seen almost
any day grazing in company with
cows and sheep on certain farm In
his territory
Accounts are not uncommon of deer
which in the stress of winter have
entered barn yards and there satisfied
the pangs Of hunger. But deer
which In summer when food is abund-
ant, has so far departed from its nat
ural instincts of scclusion and self
cbliteration as to "clium up" with farm
animals and craze in an open pasture
was surely worthy of record.
The services of the camera man
were therefore reQuisitloncd, and both
still pictures and movies of the un-
usual deer were secured. The star
actor behaved beautifully, from
photographers standpoint-was found
Just where he was looked for, had no
objection to the brightest sunlight, and
went through all his PAGES in the most
approved manner.
OF course, being wild deer. he had
TO be approached with the utmost eau
tiOn. Every photograph of him that
was obtained shows his head raised
in instructive suspicion, while his
lethargic companions are uncOncerned-
ly munching the grass. The best picture
of him was made by stalking up be-
hind a feeding cow and waiting, with
camera all set, until the cow grazed
out of range, when snap shot OF
the deer and some of his associates
was secured before he realized that
a stranger was in their midst.
The most natural explanation OF the
unusual behavior Of this buck Is that
being unable to find the companion
ship OF his own kind he took the
best substitute in the only other "big
game" that was available.

BIRTH RATE or AMERICAN

Economic Conditions and Mar

The birth rate of families Of ma

The families of the undergraduates

per cent of the students were foreign
born, while 50 per cent were native
born of native parents.
Data were obtained from 620 fam

The cause in the decline in birth

Woods halfpence, which was to
have been placed for use in Ireland by
Greut Britain about 200 years ago. was
never circulated In Erin, AS result
of the efforts of Jonathan Swift, at
the time dean Of st. Patrick's in Dub

had for ten years previously been at
lacking the attitude Of the British
toward Ireland.
Swift's fight against the circulation
of the coin came when Great Britain
decided to farm out the contract for
their manufacture to a certain Will
liam. Wood. on condition that he
y should pay the government l.00t
pounds year for ID years. In his
famous Drapier letters Swift gradual
~ built up a picture of the ruin which
Woods halfpence were destined to
bring upon ireland. The government
became alarmed. A report to the
privy council made in July, 1924, de-
Tended the patent to Wood, but recon-
mendrl that the amount to be coined
should he reduced.

for the discovery Of the author of the
Drapier letters, and ordered a prosecu-
ton against the printer upon his ar
rival. Swift boldly reproached him
with his tyranny. then looked calmly
on while the grand jury threw out the
bin against the printer in spite of all
the efforts of the chief justice to Sc
cure Its return. The next grand jury
presented Woods halfpence rs null

Justice Day in Dissenting Opinion Says Ruling An
 nuls the Sherman Law

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Supreme Court has upheld the for nation of the United States Steel Corporation and subsidiary corpor- ations in the iron and steel indus try and has < dismissed the suit brought by the government under the Sherman Act to dissolve the Steel Trust.
 2 The Steel Trusts. assets exceeded swo billion dollars, court affirmed now that the federal courts dismiss sal of governments suit to break ID the combine. The court dismiss ed the suit without prejudice, thus permitting the government to sue again if the corporation resorts to illegal practices. The court said it believed the corporation had follow ed the law since 1911.
 The majority ruling of the Sup reme Court said the Standard oil and Tobacco Trust cases were diff- erent as to the manner in which they had violated the law. min ority dissenting opinion by Justice Day said the decision virtually an nulled the Sherman Act, and that the Steel Trust had violated the law as clearly as in the case of the Tob- acco Trust.
