A crash in the alders broke in
upon Garth's thoughts. The splash
that followed told him a moose had
caught his scent and taken to the
lake. To have run to the bank and
shot the swimming beast would have
been easy. Only, he had no canoe or
raft, and the water here was rather
deep offshore.
He stalked down through the
timber.
For the first hundred feet or so out
from the shore thickets, willows
grew along both sides of the low
ledge. A peer through the foliage
showed the immense palmate ant
lerS of an old bull moose.
Garth flattened down on the moss
covered dyke and crayled away
from the bank. Shoreward, on the
other side, he caught sight of slight
movement among the willows. He
rose on his knees and swung up his
rifle. Though he was still screened
by the brush alongside the ledge, his
quick movements sent strong whiff
of man-scent downWind.
With loud snorts of alarm, two
COW moose, a calf, and young bull
heaved up among the willows less
than a dozen yards apart. They start
ed to plunge forward out of the
thicket Garth's first shot dropped
the calfless cow with a bullet
through the head. His second bullet
glanced off the base of the bulls
left antler. Partly stunned by the
shock, the bull swerved sideways,
only to drop in his tracks, shot
through the heart.
Silently as he had stalked out the
lodged, Garth returned to solid
ground. He knew that the snorting,
bawling moose in the pools would
soon quiet down and return to their
lily pond, feeding. The only require
ment was for him to keep out of
sight and either across or down
wind from the stupid beasts. They
had not learned to fear human hum
tiers.
A few steps along the bank
brought him to game trail through
the thickets. He laid down his rifle

ATHLETES HYGIENE.
HABITS DEPL0RED.
Coaches Do Not Teach Good
Practices, Conference
Here Is Hold.

The question Of whether coaches
and team physicians are more inter-
ested in keeping athletes In good re-
pair" for the season than in teaching
habits Of good health and hygiene was
raised by DR.. Thomas A. Story Of
Stanford University at the Second
National Conference on College Hy-
giene in the wardman Park Hotel
today.
From the lowest grades on up
through the universities students are
told that the drinking cup is unhealth-
full, yet on Saturday afternoons thou
sands watch foot ball players on COLI
lege gridirons drinking out Of common
vaterbuckets or dippers. DR.. Storey
pointed out.
Health Habits Ignored.
The speaker cited one example OF
trainer at a college basket ball game
sliding a wet towel across the gym
nasium floor for Ave perspiring players
to wipe their faces on, and others Of .
similar nature showing that little at
tention was paid to health habits.
While the chance of infection in in
dividual cases may be slight, the op-
portunity for teaching health habits
is lost, DR.. Storey declared, and to be
effective health and hygiene practices
must be habitual.
The questions raised by DIR. Storey
will be studied by groups considering
various phases of health In higher in
stitutions of learning.
Committees Debate Problems.
Most of the work Of the conference
will be carried on in the meetings of
as individual committees, which will
be correlated at morning sessions Of
the conference and its five sections.
The working sessions began this
morning and will continue through

circles by q recent conference by

the move to repudiate Roosevelt

they must be on the alert to defeat it.
He said many candidates for con-

cats on the ground they yowl, smell

complaint was spite work. She blamed
the yowling on a dog, not hers; the
fleaS on cat, not hers, and the smell
on the prodigious piles of shells in
the alley behind the house Of her
oyster-eating neigirbor, William z.

The hearing was a bedlam and
threatened often to turn into a cat

Another development in the fast
moving pre-convention campaign was

Senator Dickinson, Republican, oi
