Of man.
Man is the most powerful and re-
lentless enemy of the grouse. Yet
there are times when a hen grouse
will deliberately gamble her life with
man in a gallant and memorable
display of courage.
The ruffled grouse is rugged, in
ventive and shreWd. With the ad-
vance and spread of civilization,
forest favorite types Of cover and
natural food have, one by one, been
thinned out or cleared away. Men
have invented more deadly weapons
and ammunition. Dogs have been
especially trained for the hunting
of grouse. There is danger and
famine to be avoided at all times.
Yet. the grouse have managed to
survive They even prosper. Their
favorite habitat is a mixed woods
of hardwoods and coniferous trees,
but when the forests have been fell
ed they have learned to live in the
brush, in old fence rows, to forage
in orchards, to raid buckWheat
fields.
Unlike the lordly, immigrant
pheasant, you'll never witness
grouse eating with plebian farm
chickens. He is far too shy, too
proud and too independent.
RuggednesS is a native character
iStic of the bird. A friend once
told me of shooting a cock that was
fat and in excellent condition. When
he examined the bird, he found he
had only one leg. The missing leg
had evidently been shot of years
before. The wound had healed per-
fectly. How the cock managed to
survive under this great handicap,
and had even prospered, WaXed taJ'
is and will remain mystery.
When he is foraging, he will fight
almost any animal or any bird that
disputes the ground. Grouse have
been seen to chase big COCK phea-
SAINTS; a small hen grouse rout two
gray SQUIRRELS which disputed the
hens right to eat wintergreen ber-
RES on their premises. The wings
of the grouse are strong-they are
used as a weapon that will hurt
most small animals or cripple blros
of their own size.
He always will be independent. He
will never 60 on relief. The only
government aid he has accepted IS
the law establishing legal hunting
seasons and legal kills a day ana
that because he has no choice. He
is as American as pumpkin pie.

The ruffled grouse has more cour-
age in the way of natural resource
fitness than many of our upland
game birds. This is the tribute

and writer. These naturally shy and
extremely wild birds that have. new

NAL comfort and tranquility

What about the shape of our
space ship? Streamllning of form
IS important in overcoming atmoS-
pherlc resistance. Since we still
have to contend with the thin lay
ers of atmosphere surrounding our
own and possibly other planets,
streamlining will still be neces-
sary to reduce drag and friction
as we maneuver in those layers
after take off and before landing.
Ship Flies Sideways =
PROBABLY, therefore, an oval,
cigar shaped rocket will be the
most practical. Beyond the atmos-
phere, however, it will fly not nose
forward but long side forward -
sideways. Since the force of ac-
ccleration the "artificial
gravity acts in the direction
of fight, the human body must
be aligned so as to cause pres
sure under foot. Therefore, the
floor of the rocket ship will be at
right angles to the direction of
travel.
During the first half of the earth
moon distance, beyond the rela-
lively thin layer of our atmos-
phere, our heads will be toward the
moon and our feet toward the
earth. But we won't know that
we are flying headhrst; our sensa-
tions will be those Of normal. up

know that we are flying feet first

will be exerted in the opposite

OF course, when we reach the

to execute what we call in aviation
a half-roll, or turn. If he is skillful
enough. the passengers will scarce
ly know that the turn is being
made. He can turn the ship with

ATTORNEYS NATIONAL
AND GULF ATLANTIC

John Spottswood, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce, was
telling me of the long distance
phone call received yesterday
from Bernie Papy, our represen-
tative, who is in Washington.
Bernie spoke to Benning and
Cross, attorneys for National Air
Lines and also for Gulf Atlantic
Transportation Company. This
was what you call, killing two
birds with one stones Bernie also
had Pepper speak to CAB Off
Gals. Bernie reported the news
that the CAB had given permits
sion for National to operate to
Havana from Tampa and not via
Key West. He also said that the
attorneys told him the applica-
ton for the Havana run via Key
West was also remade. Incident
ally, National had better get on
the ball regarding this Key West
Havana run, because there is a
Havana line going great guns
with brand new equipment which
will apply to CAB. The applica-
ton okeyed by CAB was made
since 1914. Key West was in

who finished the game. Jack
Carbonnell started on the mound
for the Raiders, out developed
blisters on his pitching hand and
had to be relieved by Baker.
Carbonnell allowed three runs on
six hits in the six innings he
toiled. Baker ran into streak of
wildness in the last inning, with
two outs and needed the help of
c. Albury to complete the game.
Phillip Baker starred often
sively for the Raiders. He con-
nected three hits in five official
trips to the plate. Scored three
times and stole four bases. DoDo
Villareal batted two doubles and
single in four official trips to
the plate. Tony Alonzo, Raider
rfghtfielder, also connected safely
three times and scored four times
to add to the onslaught and
Mario Hernandez, third-sacker,
drove in four runs with two
smashing doubles.

fielder, led the losers attack with

WEE LEARNS

We took the little weedie wee

ming trip yesterday at Rest
Beach. Which was water four
feet deep lit was high tide). She
likes the water immensely ex-
cept that the first wave which
rolled in found her with her
mouth open. After much cough
ing and spluttering she straight
ened out. Then later we swung
her around in circles and a wave
crept up on us again and the
bow of the little weedie wee took
the big swell. The wife came
rushing over. But the weedie
wee came up grinning with her
mouth tightly clamped. She had
learned one lesson.
