HARBOR SEAL Phoca vitulina).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

A LONG the Paclflc Coast and the
~ Atlantic Coast north of the
~ Carolinas you may see small
seals that love to hang around
the harbors and the mouths of the
rivers that lead to the open sea. They
have been called harbor seals. Be-
cause of their spots some refer to them
as leopard seals. but harbor is their
common name.
These funny-faced creatures are COW
cred with a very coarse fur that is
hairy aid their color is grayish with
black, yellow or brown spots.
Unlike their cousins, they do not
gather in great numbers, forming
rookeries. Rather they are more ex-
elusive and are seen in small herds.
They have their harems, and battles
are fought among the males for the
possession of young and comely fe-
males. But they do not put so much
vieor into their combats. They are
more kindly toward each other.
There is much evidence pointing
to the intelligence Of seals. They
learn easily because they have a high
ly developed bump of curiosity When
they are tanned and well treated they
become very much attached to their
master. While seals are not fitted by
nature to live out Of water, they man
age to get along fairly well on land.
True, they are clumsy and awkward,
their efforts to walk being rather pitt
full
In the water they are gay. happy
folks. Diving stunts and submerged
swimming games are greatly enjoyed.
They love to loll in the sunshine on
the sandy beach. Anything coming
along to interest them is most well
come. The raise themselves as high
as they can to get full view and
decide quickly whether 1t is wise to
Evening star., 1937-09-16

return TO the water or to remain and
get better acquainted
They are expert fishermen. Squids,
cuttlefish, crabs, Holsters and small
fish supply them with sufficient food.
They become fat and sleek on this diet
and always are able to find an abun-
dance of it.
One baby is born each year. The
mother is devoted to it, coming back
regularly from her own food-hunting
expeditions to nurse the infant that
is usually. watching eagerly for her.
Some special island, selected by the
father for his wives and children, is
reserved by the male each year The
mothers and their young are under
the special supervision of the male.
He watches carefully over his younger
children. seeing to it they do not fall
into the water.
The babies are not good swimmers
and at first must be taught to over
come their fear of being alone in the
water However, they are quick to
learn and as soon as they are weaned
are very much at home in the water.
Seals do not have many enemies.
The killer whale is their most dreaded
foe This demon of the sea is too
large and too swift for the seals to
reckon with, and often they are un-
aware of its presence until it is too
late.
Rules governing the department
among the members of the family are
amazing The old bulls rule their
group with will of iron. The young
bachelors are made to stay to them
selves; the young females and the
older ones in separate groups. Each
island Is ruled over during mating
time by male capable of defending
q hundred or more under his care.

Brain Twizzlers
BY PROF. j. d. FLINT.

DURING land boom two real
estate agents were trying to make
their fortunes peddling good, bad and
Indifferent lots. The two were great
rivals and often got into improbable
price-slashing, each trying to outdo
the other. In one of these rivalry wars
Mr. A placed a price on one small
lot and Mr.. B started with price
double that of Mr.. AS. Then, seeing
the prospective customer lose interest,
Mr.. A cut his price 20 per cent. This
move was followed by 80 per cent
slash by Mr.. B. Well" said the pro-
spective customer, at those prices I'll
take them both" So the deal was
made and the customer paid STAB for
the two lots
What did he pay for each and what
were the first prices of Mfr. A and
Mr.. B?

1t wasn't because of renown as a sum-

buy exceptionally good maple syrup,
or anything like that, but because of
an incident that would be considered
odd, only out of the county.

a Mr.. Friend, of Friendsville, being

Another silly chain letter PROPOSE
ton is springing up around here. This
time, however, no actual cash is sent
through the mails-just dish towels.
Some women have formed dish
towel club" You send out three letters
with dish towel in each one. By the
time the rounds are made you are sup
posed to get 81 dish towels. More than
likely you'll play thunder getting any,
but at any rate it must be lots of fun.
If anyone can prove that the let
tiers are success, I'll be tempted to
take the advice of Herb Leighton and
start "sock club" Twenty-seven pairs
of socks for three pairs wouldn't be
sneezed at. And no fair sending old
WORKOUT pairs with holes in the toes.
Toe holes would be barred.
