the animal coming down on all four
feet with a thud.
In the early days of the West,
mule deer were abundant and filed
the few people seeing them with
wonder. The animals were not afraid
Of man. but were curious about them.
They stood but few hundred yards
away to take their measure and
would trot away only to return for
a closer and better view. Hunters
and settlers soon changed this state
Of affairs; the animals learned to
fear the sharp crack of gun and
the singing pain which followed.
Fear entered their hearts and they
realized their safety lay in keeping
as far away from man as possible.
The fawns are usually born in
May; usually, there is one, although
twins and even triplets have been
recorded. They have more spotted
coat than the Virginia deer, though
they closely resemble them.
They are famous for their obedi-
ence and will remain where their
mother has left them, even when an
enemy comes very close. They have
no odor to attract the attention of
foes, and their coloration is so per-
feet in its camouf1age that it is most
difficult to see them even when you
are actually searching for them.

Tai with a population of 10000.
For many years it has been health
resort. Sixty-three years ago, after
heavy rains, section OF the town
slid into the lake beside which it
was built. Many houses were bur-
led in a mass Of water, soil and
rock. Forty white persons lost
their lives, and about $50 natives.
In 1772 a mass of peat in Scot
land, at SolWay Moss, was soaked
with heavy rain. Then it gave way
and spread down to nearby fields.
The black mud formed by this peat
covered an area of 400 acres.
1t Is possible for a landslide to
cut right through village and
destroy section of it. That hap
pened in Someo, Switzerland, in
1924. Dozens of houses were
knocked to pieces as a mass of
rock and soil tumbled down the
mountain and passed through IT,
village.
England had chalk-and-sand
landslide in 1889 in Dorsetshire. near
Administer. A large amount OF
chalk and green sand poured down
a slope and into the sea. Sand
of green color exists in some hills
OF England and other countries.
Probably the worst landslides In
history took place in China in 1920.
The slides were set loose by a vio-
lent earthquake in Kansu province,
and millions of tons of the dark
soil called 'loess" fell from hills
and mountains. 1t was estimated
that more than 100000 persons died
as result. The mountains walked
in the night" reported a man who
lived in the region but was not
hurt.
The French name of avalanche"
is often used in speaking of slides
Of snow and ice. Many of these
have happened in Switzerland.
In Zug. Swiss canton, a slide
took q houses from a village into
a lake. That happened in 1887.
Most of the persons in the houses
escaped death, but II were lost.

MULE DEER
(Od0coileus henionus)

The range of the mule deer is from
North Dakota to Texas and Colo
RADIO, and west to Washington, Ore
gon and Northern California. It's
close cousins are found in Califor-
MIA. It's close cousins are found in
California, south to San Francisco.
Known also as the black-tailed
deer, this animal is from to 7 feet
long from 3to 4 feet at the shoulder
The length of its antlers is from rs
to 30 inches.
This deer has a heavy body. The
ears are large, the hair coat is thick
and the white tail has black tip
and is quite naked below the base.
Deer may be easily identified by
their tails, and for this reason are
often SO named.
During the summer the coat is a
dull yellowish gray. turning blush
gray as winter approaches. The face
is dusky between the eyes; the rest
of it, as well as the throat, abdomen
and inside of the legs, is white. The
antlers are forked equally, that is
|dichotomous - and each prong is
again bifurcate.
The mule deer receives it's title, not
from its size, but from its ears.
Though this deer is slightly larger
than the Virginia deer, 1t is heavier

EDY OF ERRORS

The Sound Schools sparkling
ball club set new record in the
American division of the Island
Service Mems League last night
by unleashing all its pent up fury
on hapless Boca Chica aggrega-
ton with 200 score.
They lambasted two Army
hurlers for IA hits but the whole
secret was the comedy of errors
that allowed so many others to
gain the bases. Twelve misplays
were recorded against the losers
and there could have been more.
While the lengthy offenses were
being waged by the Sparklers,
"Chipper" Peters, their veteran
moundsman, was having time of
his life, allowing the Army but
two hits while he got two himself
to boost his mates total.
All was quiet in the first frame
but the deluge started in the Sec
ond when the victors obtained six
runs on five bingles.
They were held scoreless in the
third and fourth despite the fact
they always threatened, but dams
crumbled in the fifth for six more
scores-on five more hits.
The complete washout occurred
in the sixth when the Sound
School garnered eight runs-on
two hits.
Cuisick, leftfielder, paced the
winners with three singles in four
trips. Johnson, catcher, had three
for five and Heacock, first sacker,
received two in four.
Jackson, Army catcher. and Co
vert, centerfielder, connected for
the only bingles for the losers.
