Huge ships and the bounding main appealed to him but circumstances forced him back into civil life when the Armistice was signed. Several years aft-ethe war, he became the father of a son. When in his early years the boy showed a love of the sea and ships, he was delighted. He was still happier when the boy, in his teens, declared he had chosen the navy for a career. So the lad was sent to an expensive training school. As graduation neared, the father made a number of trips to Washington. His boy was named and took the entrance examinations, passing them with an average of 91 a remarkable attainment. But he wont enter Annarolis.

SCENIC beauty like that Its Time Again, and motorist ears are already humming with the irrcsistable Call Of The Open Road, beckoning them to the Byways of the Wesl where the great' butdoor sport of camping turns Vacation Time into Play Time. And among- -, the thousands who answer that call will be many Sugar House automobile owners, according to J. L. Jcpperson, acting manager of the Western Auto Supply Company store here. He bases this prediction on the marked interest that has been shown in the typical western camp that is on display in his complete camp goods department. It Is only natural that western car owners should prefer a camping vacation over all others, declares Mr. Jepperson, for it combines all the essentials of a real vacation; healthful relaxation, comfort and Vacation Dog Feeds Three Tigs Winchester, Va.

The proverbial bull in a china shop had a real life counterpart here a bullock in a parlor. En route to a slaughterhouse, the bullock made a dash for freedom, crashed into the parlor, and played havoc with furniture before he was driven out. He then ran five miles back to the farm where he was raised. AUTO LOANS and INSURANCE No Trick to Find a Bargain At MORGAN'S 1935 Chev.

This years trip, his fourth, took five weeks and included several tribes 110 days with miles up the Commenwijne river in Dutch Guiana. French, an amateur naturalist, views the trips as vacations and opportunities to study South American life at first hand. To the youngsters, ranging in age from 'eleven to fourteen, it was high All are children of adventure. friends. French brought back 49 tropical birds, one bushmaster and 10 other snakes, six monkeys, eight' lizards and a sloth. Included were about 25 humming birds, the largest shipment to reach St. Louis alive. He bought the bushmaster, which he considers his most valuable specimen, from an animal trainer at Port of Spain, Trinidad, for $30. The party used tennis balls and inexpensive jewelry as trading material among the natives. French had better luck with the tennis balls because the natives are accustomed to jewelry.

Wild Life: When Bill entered a delicatessen near his home, the wife of the owner tried to give him a pigeon. She had sheltered it during the blizzard and as it was well and able to fly again, she didnt know what to do with it. Bill suggested the obvious take it outside and turn it loose. The pigeon didnt want to leave, however, and a crowd soon gathered. Just as a cop came, the pigeon hopped out into Broadway traffic. The policeman bawled Bill out for not taking better care of his pigeon, then leaped into the street and stopped traffic until the pigeon hopped leisurely to the other side. Then Bill, fed up with pigeons and not wishing to attract further attention, vanished.

Call a Cab to Shop in Sugar House Fastidious Okapi Uses Tongue as Scrub Brush The okapi is of the genus Giraf-fida- e and is considered by many to be an actually living fossil," according to an authority in the Washington Post. His body is like that of an antelope, and his legs have beautiful stripes of pure black and white similar to those of a zebra. The large red ears, the color of the undersides of the mandulu leaves, are delicately fringed in black. The back is shaded into rich tints of dark red, light red and silvery red Ion the sides and under the belly. More careful of his appearance than the most fastidious woman, the okapi never tires of washing himself carefully, licking his skin at every point' that his long, tongue can reach. And that means his entire body. His head can reach his tail as he bends his long neck as if it were joined at the base by a 16-in- ch hinge. Alarm: Thieves have been making hauls from motor cars parked in front of one, of the large apartment buildings. So the doormen have been keeping watch, hoping to catch the miscreants in the act, particularly because in their loot was a mourning dress belonging to a woman on her way to the funeral of a close relative. But despite their vigilance, it waa a tenant who reported a man acting suspiciously around a car. Two big doornen, with blood in their eye, leaped out and found a tired workman sitting on a running board tying his shoe.

He does not roll in the water, but gallops through it, taking good care to choose a place where the bottom is sandy so that the water splashing over him cannot become muddy. If the okapi is jealous of his skin, there is "method in his madness." For, the darkness of the black blends almost perfectly with the k appearance of the vegetation at five or six feet from the ground: the black and white stripes of the upper part of the legs mimic with the light and shadow projected through the lower part of the foliage, and the white of the stockings resembles the silvery color of the dried leaves on the ground. Hence, at five or six yards' distance the maximum visiblity in the forest the okapi is invisible. And just to add to the list of peculiarities the okapis eyes are independent of each other, enabling him to look in two directions at once. near-blac- PASSING THE BUCK Its a mighty hard thing to knowledge ac- a 'fault; It is human to edge and deny, Make excuses and stall, when we're backed to the wall Instead of the truth give a lie.
