Green Frog are high jumpers. but
each has a different kind of alarm

you make through your nose when
suffering from a headcold. 1t is
low pitched and Is often repeated
several times. If you visit the woods
through the summer, you will hear
an explosive sound apparently is
suing from the shallow water, and
from q distance you may mistake
1t for the drum of a woodpecker.
Now, do not confuse the green
frog with our old friend. the bull
frog. You will not fall into this
error when you see them, although
they, too, are aquatic by nature and
found In the same enchanting
places. The green frog can always
be recognized by the conspicuous
lateral folds of skin which extend
from his eyes to the posterior part
of his body. The bullfrog has not
a solitary fold. Besides, the head
of the green frog is much narrower
than its bullfrog neighbor's. The
eye is very large and brilliant, with
golden iris and oval pupil. The
ear of the male, which is con-
spicuous fiat brown circle with
yellow center, is much larger than
its eye.

Not satisfied with recognition as

McDonie turned in a top score Of
27l in her squads 1868 -to-1 ,045 VIC
tory over G. P. o. Her three stage
scores were 100 prone, 80 kneeling
and 81 standing. The latter two
stages are what makes the lump
from women's to mems competition
all the more prohibitive for even
an experienced feminine sharp
shooter who is used to the conven-
tional women's course of all prone
shooting. In fact, holding up an
II or II pound rife in either of
those positions and attempting to
put 10 shots in a 15-inch bullseye
taxes many q man.
Still keeping up her activity in

DOME showed the girls how easy it
can be over the 30-shot all-prone
