 Clash On Ice Sunday

The St. Ann's Flying Frenchmen and the Waterbury Hockey club have finally come to terms concerning their coming game and it will be played Sunday afternoon at the New Haven arena, the game getting un- der way at 2 o'clock.

Female of the Salmon Family Builds and
Defends the Nest; Male Does Guard Duty

How salmon build and defend
their nests is described in the an
nual report of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition by Leonard P. Schultz, assist
ant curator of fishes Of the United
States National museum.
It is essentially labor of the fe-
male Of the species, he finds, with
the male standing guard and occa-
sionally giving little help.
The completed nests are saucer
like depressions in stream bottom,
each with a small mound Of sand or
gravel on the downstream side. The
depth and size of a nest depend on
the size of the fish which constructs
it, the shape Of her body and the
rate of flow of the water over the
spot.
A pair of these fish-Dr. Schultz
chose the landlocked species of sal
mon known as reddish for his OBJ
observation-disclosures time for build
ing their nest when there are no
other fish around to modest them.
The female will turn over on her
side and vigorously flex her tail
from four to six times against the
bottom, this motion carrying her a
foot or more upstream. The tail of
the fish during these movements
comes in contact with the bottom

But Breck held him. He believed

said confidingly, "I'm not going to

Jaw, I amt afeared it's them,"
was the innocent reply. "They left

Breck walked a few steps with
him. adding, "And Jack, if you ever
need help, come to me. Will your"
The reply burst eagerly. II sure

Jack sent his burro scrambling
along the mountainside. Brock re-
turned to the fireline. There, again
swinging his brush-hook, he consid-
cred what the boy had inadvertently
told him. Things were plain enough.
Even If Tillsons had not started this
fire, they had ordered the nesters
to keep out. What was their hold on
the crowd down there?
Just before a new sound in the
night cut short his thoughts he came
to a definite conclusion. He'd 60
down among the nesters when this

CHAPTER XIV

The first back fire had failed be-
cause of poor judgment in gauging
what distance the main blaze could
advance. Breck would not fall into
the same error twice and now rode
far up the slope to where a granite
ledge, thrown part way across the
burning canyon, formed a natural
break in the timber. He left Kit,
and starting beyond the granite pro-
trusion, once more plunged into the
job.
Yet he had spent his strength on
the fight that afternoon. Smoke
strangled him. The az weighed
tons. He drank the last water from
his canteen, believing the boy would
soon come up with more. An hour
passed without relief. Then time
slipped from his memory.
He started as il in sleep when q
voice called, "Rangeri Rangeri"
Dusk had come. "Herel" he an
swered. Soon Jack rode his burro
out of the smoke.
His old mans face was drawn
with fright and q bloody welt lay
along one cheek. He spoke breath
lessly, throwing a pack of rations
and two canteens from his Shout
ders. "Tried to get 'em here soon
er. Pap whipped me. Coin to whip
me again if he finds out. Don't you
tell him, will your"
Brock dropped to the ground and
drank before asking, where's your
pap now?"
"Gone below. Says he's sprained
q foot. Sure the devil he is, but
he don't get drunk, he don't. Say,
can see the Luger gun again."
Brock handed over the weapon
and then broke into q ration bag.
While he ate from q can Of beef.

compounds or plays an important
part in so many functions.
This mineral is indispensable for
all the active tissues Of the body
and likewise helps in regulating
the neutrality of the blood. It is
found abundantly in nerve tissue.
Needed for Teeth and Bones
Its most significant role, how
ever, is to team with calcium in
giving rightly to the bones and
teeth. Approximately 90 per cent
of the total phosphorus of the
body and SO per cent of the cal
cium are found in the bones and
teeth.
Both these minerals are required
in generous amounts, but almost
twice as much phosphorus as cal
cium should be supplied every
day. Moreover, children should
have about one-and-one-haH times
as much phosphorus as adults, to
meet the requirements for growth.
The muscles and soft tissues
need phosphorus as well as the
bones, and in the dietary of the
child, they must share with the
bones, the phosphorus that is pro-
vided by the food. Hence, the
greater need for this mineral dur
ing childhood.
Phosphorus and ricketts,
II a child's diet is deficient in
phosphorus or calcium, or II con-
ditions are not favorable for their
proper absorption, ricketts, will oc-
cur. This devastating nutritional
disease may result in deformities
Of the chest and pelvic bones, as
well as the more familiar bow
legs and knock-knees.
Investigators have spent many
years in discovering how to pre-
vent and cure this disease which
has made life miserable for so
many children and which has far
reaching effects that carry over
into later life. For example, adults
who have bow-legs or a pigeon
breast as a result of childhood
ricketts,, are always sef-conscious
because of their defects. And
motherhood may be far more diff
cult for young women whose pei
vic bones were deformed by rick
cts in their early years.
A Low-Phosphorus Diet
1t was found that ricketts, may
be associated with low-phosphor-
US diet, even when the calcium
content is high. And investigations
also determined that there is a
seasonal tide of blood phosphorus
which corresponds to the amount
Of available sunlight. This led to
the realization that sunlight
which we now know helps the body
to manufacture vitamin Dis
closely related to the proper uti-
lization of phosphorus. And today
it is well established that ricketts,
can be prevented, or cured, by a
diet containing liberal amounts of
phosphorus, calcium and vitamin
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1939-05-26

d. Vitamin D can be obtained
from direct sunshine, but where
this is not available in adequate
amounts, cod-liver oil, irradiated
foods, or those fortified with q
vitamin D concentrate will supply
this necessary substance.
Make Use of Sunlight
As we approach the season when
the greatest amount of sunshine
is available, homemakers should
see to it that not only the chill
dren, but every member of the
family spend as much time as
possible in the sunlight. This will
help to promote the proper utiliza-
ton of phosphorus and calcium.
And both teeth and bones will
benefit, as well as the general
health.
Where to Find Phosphorus
Every homemaker should &C
quaint herself with the foods that
supply phosphorus most abundant
ly, SO that she will be prepared to
include this mineral in the diet
every day. Egg yolk and dried
beans are both valuable sources
Of phosphorus. So are whole grain
cereals and lean meats. In fact,
cereals and meats have this in
common-both are rich in phos.
phorus and deficient in calcium.
Whole grain breads are likewise
important for their phosphorus
csntent. And on percentage ba.
sis, cheese ranks very high as Q
carrier Of this mineral.
Cocoa also contains a large per.
centage, though it must be re-
membered that, as a rule, only
small quantities Of cocoa are con-
sumed at one time. Many nuts,
including almonds, peanuts, pc
cans and walnuts, furnish signifi-
cant amounts. And this mineral
is found in dried fruits such az
raisins, figs and prunes, and in
much smaller quantities in vege-
tables, such as spinach, caulifiow.
er, string beans, carrots and brus-
sells sprouts.
Milk supplies phosphorus, though
not in such generous amounts al
calcium. However, if you follow
the rule Of quart of milk daily
for every child and a pint for each
adult, you will contribute materi.
ally to the phosphorus and cal
cium content of the diet.
