There are many races of bobcats
Once they were common in all the
thick woods OF our country Today
they are to be found in the most
thinly settled backwoods districts,
and their number is steadily de-
creasing. This bobcat is known in
the woods of Arizona.
During most of the year Bob hunts
alone or with one companion.
ProWling over the ground on soft,
furry paws. he makes not a sound.
Pushing his way through brambles
and briars and tangled berry
patches. he trails rabbits or other
small neighbors.
One is rarely aware of his pres
ence, unless the hunter himself,
totally unconscious of visitor to
his domain. goes bounding into the
open after his quarry. Intent upon
capturing his dinner. he does not
see you. The moment he does, he
appears to fade out of sight.
Bobcats are not subtle hunters.
They do not possess the skill and
patience of their neighbors. the foxes
and weasels. Rather they hide from
small game much in the fashion of
the house cat and at the right mo-
ment spring suddenly upon their
unsuspecting victim.
Bobcats go roaming at twilight
and early dawn. During the day
they slumber in some cozy hollow
tree or stump. in cavernS among
rocks, on ledges or in a nest made
warm and comfortable with leaves.
They are fond of sun baths and
know where to go for an undisturbed
nap while soaking in the healing
rays.
In the winter they must sally
forth in the snow and sleet for food
Though despising the discomfort,
they are too stupid to lay up food
against such times, and hunger
drives them forth to chase the
hares, rabbits, mice and winter
birds.
There is a strange habit prac-
Gced by these hunters. so far un-
explained, of letting out a blood
curdling scream as they seek food.
Is 1t to scare the wits out of vic
tim already frozen with fear and
crouching within reach of Bob? Is
it to startle the animals so they will
race for new hiding places? This is
still the question, and only the real
reason for the horrible warning
signal before the raid will satisfy
nature lovers.
BY nature bobcats are shy. When
cornered, they are savage fighters
and fierce defenders of their young.
Unwise dogs have remained too long
within their reach and regretted
their lack of precaution for days.
Bob kills only that he may live.
His once vast domain is fast shrink
ing, and, like so many of his wood
land neighbors, he Is only safe where
he has been assured sanctuary.

It's Hard to Believe.

Columbus: Since opera" is the
plural of "opus," is it correct to con-
slider it ALSO as singular word, say

Answer: You have brought up a
curious irTegularity that must be
puzzling to many other readers.
Opus" is a Latin word meaning "a
work: labor" It's plural is Opera" :"
Among musicians, it is customary to
number compositions consecutively,
thus: Opus one, opus two, opus
three, etc.
The musical drama, called opera
probably got it's name from the fact
that it generally consists OF num-

Woman Driver
 Is Typical Alaskan

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT - This is the story of a woman who actually does mans job in this war the story of a woman who drives a truck at the Alaska Defense Con- mand headquarters for the Army Engineers. This could only be Rusty Dow's story, though per haps it's more a philosophy than a story.
 Rusty Dow is one of that leg endary company that can only be found in Alaska. There are many women helping the engineers in Alaska and handling important jobs Lydia Sturm of Seattle, Isabelle Hixson of Riverside, Cal ifornia; June Pederson of Aber- deen,2 South Dakota. But only handsome, plump, and smiling Rusty with the kindly blue eyes and the unruly red hair and the khaki coveralls, drives an engi- neer mail truck through the ruts and roads and forts of Alaska.
 Rusty's definite about women and war work. She's appalled, at the newsree1 pictures of women trying to handle real war jobs in skirts. She's gone on record as saying "legs are a woman's best sex asset, but you can't keep flashing legs at men and expect lem to mind their business, if you're working with men" She mothers tne civil service girls who come up and every winter has her ups and downs with them on the business of dressing for Alaskan cold. She herself hauls out her mukhrks {fur boots) and patka' afd' has gotten most Of the

girls doing likewise.
 "A lot of mud has gone under the bridge" since Rusty hit Alas ka in 1884, after her brother, L. z. Scott, had written down about the Matanuska Valley. For years of trucking in California, you had nothing to show for it. You lived and paid bills and you and thousands of others never really like it. You had butter and cream hauls across the desert and truck and trailer hauls between the small towns. But up here. you have peace and contentment. This is the freest country there is. It's kind of theater, too from the clouds always acting up on the mountains to the oldtimers wandering about town"
 Rusty bought an old Chevrolet truck, a two-ton job, to Alaska, and her parents. She reached Pal mer just before the rush to the Matanuska farming land and she free-lanced trucking jobs. She hauled lumber, mosquito netting passengers bound for binges in town and back. She ran a laun- dry and had mail contract. When the Independence mine re- opened for a gold rush in the Talkeetna mountains, she truck ed supplies for the prospectors When she couldn't shovel the snow drifts she put on snow shoes and packed medicine, mag azines, and mail in a board on her shoulders. She picked up so many half-frozen miners along her route that she began a jitney service in 7-passenger car, hauled hen. travellers 65 - miles from mine to town, invaded the

At the end the reader has . fabulous bundle of impressions fitted together as carefully as Herr Haushofer's goepolitical concepts in which Jeremiah the Saint is the hero, the locusts are the villain, and the whole IS an allegory of the human race and its amending struggle.
 And as IS so often the case case when man IS so complete ly absorbed u his subject, the

and clothes if she wore women's garb.
 The first winter she drove for the engineers, men and fellow drivers were skeptical of a won- an driver, but Rusty played in luck, went through blizzards and dogtrails and roads with no acci- dents, handled the extra trips, and before long everyone was saying Hi, Rusty" All the mill tary from It. Gen. Simon Buck ner commanding general, Alas kan Department, on down pass the time of day with Rusty and Buckner has said: Rusty Dowl She's a real sourdough. When she tried driving a jeep she sad 1t wasn't any more exciting than driving a motorized pup"
 Rusty thinks it's romance and adventure that brings people to Alaska including the civilians coming up to help the army en- gineers. Its yen to. move about to start with, and then like as not it's wanting to get away from things that've gone wrong, like love affairs and business. Lots of folks have the impression they're going to find a. bear hid ing back of every spruce but I'm glad to say that's wrong, be- cause I'm tired of seeing our game butchered. To fly over Alaska is one thing but to Say and scrutinize 1t IS another. If people fit in Alaska, they stay and if they can't adapt them selves to the. big country, they go back where they came from
 Rusty thinks more civilians could come 10 Alaska and enjoy fl and war jobs because "of all our free country, this Is the treest country with the most peace"

Anchorage saloons about 4 a. m to round the passengers up for the return trip at 2 a. m.
 Rusty was married in Alaska in l940 to Russ Dow, former Dartmouth ski champ who came up on glacier expedition and stayed. Her wedding ring is Alaska gold, her engagement ring, on work worn but curious ly gentle hands is fossilized ivory with diamond. Dow is ski instructor at the Anchorage base.
 Rusty (christened Ola) was born in the Texas Panhandle where there was no town, went to high school in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and moved to California where sAe was jack-of-all- trades, including truck driving. The only girl with four brothers, she's glad her dad raised her like another boy, with chores and hard work outdoors that made her muscular and healthy. Her fla ther, Jack Scott now lives in Salem. Oregon.
 To own one of Rusty's paints is an honor. In oils and pastels she does Alaskan vistas and early transportation scenes, not that she ever studied, but like everything else took it the hard way "by doing it." She skis, in a laymen's way but allows she is better at truck driving. She says she keeps house after a work days, six days week, fashion and after her en-hour starting at 7:30 a. m.
 She has had no day off in the more than three years since she's been driving for the engineers She has no desire to Ego outside" when the wars over-she and her husband are going to the mountains where he will have his dream of ski lodge and she will photograph and paint the moun- tainS.
 Rusty counts her proudest day when she got her job with Uncle Sam's army engineers "because tbey get lots done, when the go- ing's hardest pioneering. I like action and we've had it from the first engineer axe laid into the forest that's our base here. It's hard to remember sometimes now, when we hunted low brush moose (rabbits) and high brush moose through here"
 Rusty wears mems clothes and has for so long she would feel uncomfortable in skirts and dSesn't miss "this stocking thing" She laughs at the things she'd have to wear in the way of hats
