Common Swapping Turtle.
(Chelydra Serpertina.)

the turtle from mistaking your hand
for something to eat.
Most of the fishing done by the
snapper is under water. In fact he
cannot swallow his food unless his
head is we'll immersed. II tempting
water fowl or other creature comes
his way when he happens to be out
of the water, 1t is killed and taken
under to be consumed. Young water
birds are stalked under water, drawn
down and torn to pieces.
The mother seeks q choice. sandy
spot in early Summer. She looks
diligently until she finds a place
where the sand is moist and yet ex-
posed to the sun. Here she scoops
out q deep pocket and, crawling into
it, moves about until her body is
hidden by the soft dirt. After laying
about two dozen eggs she creeps care
fully out of the basket" fitting her
body at an angle to permit the sand
to slide of and cover the eggs. She
then, without turning her head to
see that all is well, ambles toward
the water.
The eggs are perfectly round and
covered with thin, white. hard shell.
They are fishy in flavor but good to
eat. The sun heats the sand. and In
a few weeks the wee swapping turtles
make a bee line for shallow water,
soon finding themselves in the stream
favored by their parents though they
never even know they did not grow
'.like Topsy."

PROBE
ASKED IN CHICAGO
Legislator Scores Tax-Free
PrincipIe-WaIgreen May
Submit His "Pr0ofs."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 13.-Investiga-
ton Of University Of Chicago aca-
demic instruction was demanded to-
day from two sources alleging that
radical doctrines permeate teachings
of the privately endowed institution.
State Senator Charles w. Baker,
Monroe Center Republican, pushed
plans for the State Legislature to in
vestigate the school, recipient of heavy
endowment from Rockefeller interests
ON the grounds that many of its
buildings are exempt from taxation" J"
a privilege that could be revoked.
Walgreen Offers proof"
Charles r. Walgreen, chain drug
store magnate, whose withdrawal of
his niece, Lucille Norton, from the
university because he said he was
unwilling to have her absorb the
Communistic influences to which she
is so insidiously exposed" precipitated
the Senator's demand. Walgreen
meanwhile offered to prove his charges
at an open meeting of the university s
Board of Trustees.
Il will be pleased to submit what
consider proofs of Communistic
influence in the university provided
you will arrange an early meeting
of the trustees, you and myself. The
press must be present" Walgreen
said in letter to President Robert
Maynard Hutchins.
President Hutchins issued a gen.
eral statement Of university policy
denying that either communism or
the violent overthrow of Government
is taught at the school.
Believes in Free Thought.
II believe that freedom of inquiry,
freedom of speech and freedom of
teaching are indispensable to de-
mocracy," he declared.
Baker planned to ask the Legis-
lature, when it reconvenes Tuesday,
for an investigation. Twice before
the General Assembly has rejected
measures by Baker to withdraw State
funds and tax exemption privileges
from institutions permitting "ad-
vocacy Of overthrow of Government"
and other radical beliefs.

BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

TT IS thought that this surname
originated in the name Barthol-
omew, "Bab" being a nickname for
Bartholomew. and cock" used as a
diminutive termination to denote
''son."
The Babcock family in America is
an offshoot of the Babcock family
in England, which flourished in the
counties of Cornwall. Essex, Middle
sex. Devonshire and Lincolnshire for
many generations. The name was
for a long while pronounced "Badco"
The American family has consistently
spelled the nam Babcock since its
early settlement in this country.
One old document states that Sir
Richard Badcock was living in Essex
County, England, in 1912, and that
he was nineteenth in descent from
the first holder of the manor house
there. From that statement it is de-
duced that the Badcocks and Bab-
cocks were seated in England since
about the time of the Norman Con-
quest.
James Badcock came from Essex
County to Portsmouth, r. l., in 1642,
and there many of the descendants
are found today. Babcocks are also
found in many other States.

r AVE you ever seen one of these

r AVE you ever seen one of these
old fellows lying in shallow,
muddy water, with moss
l. L growing on his back? These
hunters have a scheme OF
catching their victims that has moth
ing to do with time. AS far as the
turtle is concerned, anything that
comes within striking distance Of his
mighty jaws is acceptable.
Here he seems to be large stone
with green moss waving in the slowly
flowing water. You will see the snake
like movement of the head and hear
the strong jaws snap upon the victim
So quickly can this reptile strike, your
eyes are unable to follow 1t. Backed
up by keen-edged, cutting jaws, and
capable front feet to handle the VIC
tim, the swapping turtle wakes fat and
one weighing 40 pounds is not un-
usual.
At this time he Is too fat for his
clothes and outside Of water he Il
most helpless. It is SAID he Is now
just right for soup.
Small snappers can easily cut Oh
your finger with one blow. and q large
turtle has been known to snap of q
hsherman's hand as II it were tinder
The best way to carry turtle is by
its tail, and to hold 1t well away from
the body. It gives painful wound
As Q captive he becomes used to hii
keeper and accepts food from his
hand. Care must be exercised to keer
