BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Kittys handsome cousin is easily
recognized by his beautiful decora-
tive coat and leopard-like tail.
Though there are never two ocelots
marked alike there is enough sim
ilarity of the rings, chains, blotches
and stripes to make it impossible to
confuse these animals with any
other.
At one time the ocelots were dis
tributed throughout the low for
ests of the Southwest from Arkan-
sas southwark over Central Amer
lea and much of South America
as far as Paraguay. Today these
beautiful cats are rarely seen. Man
and his dogs have ever been on
their trail.
The homeland of this ocelot is in
Mexico-Vera Cruz. One cousin
with a coat of paler colors ranges
north to the Rio Grande Valley
and we'll into Texas and Arkansas.
The animal has learned through
bitter experience to avoid public
appearances. Being by nature
creature of nocturnal habits, hunt
ing is done at night. The more noisy
it is the better, since storm, wind
and rain drown the sound of snap
ping twigs and stealthy approach.
Like all members of his family he
can climb if need be and the ocelot
does not hesitate to follow an animal
or bird up tree and lie on a broad
limb, taking a sun bath or nap
until he is able to capture his prey.
Over the ground he is swift
runner The tricks of the fox in
eluding man and dog are also
known by this cat of the woods.
There is no fear in this animal for
the cactus and the mesquite
Somewhere he has learned to thread
his way through them and come
out unframed. which of course is
impossible TO his pursuers, who
knowing the pain and agony of
coming in contact with these bay
onets, give up the chase
There is little in the line of meat
an ocelot does not enjoy. He is
especially fond of reptiles and will
follow a snake up tree. Stealing
poultry has been charged against
this hunter AS a matter of fact his
own game has been so depleted by
man that he has retaliated though
Of course TO him this form of game
was to be found in a special place
each night and unable to escape.
The property Of another has no
meaning to him.
All cats are clean in their habits
and home life. The ocelot prefers
a Well-ventilated cave for his resi-
dence. His couch is made of twigs.
stems and such material that can
be broken up into small lengths.

JENNINGS BEAT HIGH
 5(H00LERS
Photo-Finish Contest Ends dt 42-41 While Free
 Throws Go Short

Breathless seconds on any basket ball court-one point behind, only a half minute to go, and three free losses missed the hoop-that's the sort of heartbreaker the High School five lost to the rangy Henning powerhouse last night, 42-41.
 Fans have seen a lot of nip and tuck ball games in the local gym this season, but this game last night will go down on the records as one of the best in years.
 The High School took the lead in the first quarter which ended 13-9 and the youngsters still led at the half, 21-19
 Get Hot
 However, in the second halfs op- ening period. Henning hoopsters "got hot" and before a bogged-down school five could gather their forces of defense, they were behind 34- 26.
 In the last quarter, the Bear hoop sters made a frantic race to even the score. With the tally at 40-33 and the High School battling wild ly, Jones sunk two in a row and only minutes left to play.
 Reischl followed his teammate with a free toss and the score was 40-38.
 Henning's took time out to or ganize d fen S e and to get much needed wind On the next play, Henning star. Saxton, left the game on fouls and Bear pace-setter Pow CTS hit the hoop with free toss to put the score at 40-39.
 Nip and Tuck
 Metzgar batted one through the hoop to pull Henning's out in front, 42-39, and then Reischl potted one to again put the High School with in one point of the Henning tally.
 Schubert left the game on fouls and Hussey took two free throws while students in the. stands prac- ptloPhN0 lluooCy AiiicoSN both shots, and then his teammate, Powers, also had a free throw and a chance to tie up-and missed.
 And that's the way the game ended.
 Krauses Win
 The Krause- Moose battle looked like ball game for the first half, a rough scramble that found Krause leading 11-4 at quarter and only 17-16 at the half.
 Tn the third quarter, Krause rolled up Is more points, Jensen and Frs kline starting to click, while the Moose made but two points, and in the last quarter, the Krause ma chine kept on rolling and marked 24 points to make the rout com- plete.

 All this cleanup of the old Sin gapore las been accomplished with the building up of an amaz- ing police organization. More than 4300 Indian Sikhs form the back bone of this force. Young lads are brought from India as recruits, put through police school where they learn to box, to ride, to shoot, to handle every nationality and every situation known to po- lice.
