Imagine his impressions as a freshman con- pelled to abide by Gales old tra- ditions, His cockincss knocked out by a punch on the jaw. he decided 10 do something worth while. Your interest is immediately aroused When Rod is in the hospital. the whistle blows tha, starts the big game! And he is Yale's greatest star and highest hope. Rod La lsocque attired in football togs never looked better and shows q different side than he has hereto fore displayed.

Age of a Tree.

As everybody knows, the trunk Of a
tree grows larger in diameter every
year. This Is 50 because the tree makes
a fresh growth Of wood every year just
under the bark. The first part Of this
growth looks somewhat different from
that which comes later in the year. so
that the various growths can be easily
distinguished when the tree is cut
across.
You have all seen the trunk of a
tree Just after It has been sawed down
and you have undoubtedly noticed the
many rings that grow smaller as the
center OF the trunk Is reached. Each
Of these rings represents an annual
growth In othsr wordA, each ring rep
resents one year in the life Of the tree,
These rings can easily b. counted and
generally quite accurately.
The next time you have the chance.

lar tree showed 720 rings. which means
that 1t stood and grew In Canada since

merchant, inspecting a skin. "lived in

showed some surprise that the mer-
chant should be such a shrewd guesser,
for the animals pelt had been hang

Beaver, otter and muskrat," the
buyer explained, "are dark or light

Clear, cold lakes produce skins OF a

produce light-colored fur"
Equally surprising facts concerning
ths coloring of other fur animals have
been discovered. The climate and food
have something to do with the color
and density of the beasts coats. but
not always. It stands to reason that
where the weather is coolest the fur
should be heaviest, but cases are found

those caught in the North.
