When spring draws near, the
mixed companies of deer, includ-

to seek their various ways. The
bucks have a decided yen to be
among themselves and the does are
delighted to have them go.
Grass and twigs are to be found
for staple food; buds on the reath-
able limbs are coming along. Any
thing of vegetable nature will be
eaten. A trip to the drinking hole
is made twice a day, early morn

In late May or early June, the

The Spaniards and Frenchmen
who first saw the mule deer were
greatly impressed by its size. But
they had grown accustomed to the
animal by the time Lewis and Clark
made their famous trip in 1904. At
this time the expedition killed two
blacktailed or mule deer, and wrote
a rather complete description of the
animal. They especially mentioned
the large ears, the tail with its tuft
Of black hair, and the two main
prongs of the horns on each side
with their perfect forking.
The home range in the old days
was often limited to 100 acres. At
the time when Lewis and Clark
found these deer, they had fine
woods in which to roam and there
was an abundance of food. That Is
perhaps a good reason why they
did not have to travel more than
5 miles or so to find all they needed
to eat as we'll as water and a place
they knew as home
Then came hunters and civiliza-
ton and the mule deer had to seek
refuge and food. They became
wider rangers and more shy. These

deer are fond of low hills or broken
ground and partly wooded ground.
During the hot weather they often
seek higher attitudes, some distance
from timber.
In seeking their food they develop
well-worn paths, which they seek
rather than taking shortcuts when
being chased or frightened. They
have established habits and haunts

them are killed. It is believed that

The Fall of Nassau

In 1776, during the war between
Great Britain and the American col
onists, fleet of eight vessels was
sent by the latter to Nassau, capital
of the Bahamas, with instructions to
capture the large quantities of NUM-
tons believed to be stored there.
This force, under Admiral Hopkins,
landed detachment on the eastern
extremity of New Providence island
and marched on Nassau. Forts Mon
tague and Nassau surrendered with
out resistance, and the new "Grand

Jack in the first quarter and thir-

Definition of University

According to we'll established
tradition, James A. Garfield, in
Williams college alumni address de-
livered in New York city in 1872,
said: ''My definition of a university
is Mark Hopkins at one end of
log and student at the other"
The quotation, however, does not
occur in the speech as it was re-
corded, but similar line of thought
was expressed by Garfield in let
ter which he wrote the same year.
Mark Hopkins (18O2-1887), was one
of the ablest and most successful
American educators and was presi-
dent of Williams college in Massa-
chusetts when Garfield was a stu
dent there. Garfield particularly
liked the stress which Hopkins
placed upon the development of the

They May Be Right

Schoolboy Rowe vows he will
pitch the Detroit Tigers to the
American league pennant if he can
get some help from the rest of the
pitching staff. Dizzy Dean says he
will show Branch Hickey that he is
still the greatest pitcher. in base
ball. Max Schmeling declares he
will regain the heavyweight title
now held by Joe Louis.
If you've been following Dizzy
this spring you will note that he has
made real start. Above all he is
serious for perhaps the first time in
his life, and regardless of his
quirks, 80 per cent of the managers
in either league would like to have
him on the payroll. He's about as
handy with baseball as anybody
in the big time and if he really set
ties down to business he can be the
most valuable pitcher in the Ma
tional league.
AS for the Cubs, they really may
make it this time. Tony Lazzeri,
who has played against the Giants
in the last two world series will
tell you that the Cubs have bet
ter team today, man for man, than
Bill Terry's outfit and he can see
no reason why they shouldn't come
through. A lot of people wonder
why they. didn't win the last two
pennants.
With Max Baer, as with Dizzy
Dean, the thing that will really
count in the comeback effort is TAX
ing his game seriously. From all
reports he has cut out the night
