If you score 12, consider yourself a nature expert, ten is still powerfully good. 1. From which tree can you gather fruit 365 days of each year? 2. The total world bird popula tion is approximately 100 billion five billion, or 100 million. Take the nearest number. 3. Can a beaver cut down a fivc-inch-in-diameter willow with in three minutes? 4. Are deer, horse, cow, buf falo and moose all cud-chewers? 5. Has the crocodile bird actu ally been seen to pick leeches out of a crocodile s mouth? 6 Is the sturgeon, which may weigh over half a ton, the world's largest fresh-water fish? 7. Besides its lungs, docs a bird have other air sacs in its body? 8. Is it true that with the ex ception of the wolf, most wi'd animal fathers do not provide food for their pregnant males and their offspring? 9. Are the pocket gopher's pockets, alongside its cheeks, ac tually lined with fur? 10. Is the ostrich the fastest running animal on two legs? 11. The shortest known mam malian gestation, approximately 12 !5 days, belongs to which of these: the mouse, opossum, bat, or rabbit? 12. The length of the average human's blood vessels total about five miles, 1,000 miles, or 12,000 miles. Select the nearest one. 13. A stalk of corn will lift approximately 10, 100, or 400 pounds of waier during its brief growing season. Again, select the closest one. 14. Is it true that the emperor penguin which lives in the Ant arctic lays its eggs during the height of the winter? 15. Can a fish replace lost scales? ANSWERS: 1. The lemon. 2. One hundred billion and the combined weight, reckoned at ten birds to the pound is almost 5 million tons! 3. Right, I've clocked 'em. 4. Wrong, the horse is not a cud chewer. Sorry. 5. Yup, I believe what com petent authorities have reported. But, one can't help wondering. 6. Yes, indeed, the sturgeon which spawns in, fresh water is the world's largest fresh-water fish. 7. Yes, it has. For that mat ter, some birds have hollow bones which may be connected with the lungs. Some of the great flight birds, in fact, have such light bones that their feathers weigh more than their bones do. 8. Absolutely right, the much- maligned wolf is one of the best fathers. About 98 per cent of all other wild fathers neither feed the mother nor their offspring. 9. Yes, entirely fur-lined. 10. Right, the 300-pound os trich can run over 30 miles per hour and has the kick of a mule too forward, though. 11. Opossum. 12. Believe it or not, 12,000 miles is right. 13. Four hundred pounds. 14. Yes, in the dead of winter. To keep the egg off the ice, the emperor penguin hatches its egg on its foot, under a special fold built there for that purpose. 15. Yes, a lost scale can be replaced and once it overtakes the other scales it continues to grow at the same rate, covering its particular share of the body. 3rd Division To Quit Korea SEOUL M Announcement that the U.S. 3rd Division would leave Korea in October was accompan ied Monday by renewed South Ko rean charges of bad faith in Washington and complaints the withdrawal will leave Korea open for Red conquest. "The stage is set for Korean unification, but by the Commu nists," said a statement by Maj. Gen. Choi Duk Shin, a former armistice negotiator who accom panied President Syngman Rhce to Washington recently. The statement appeared to be in reply to one by the U.S. Embassy last week. Tho embassy insisted the redeployment of U.S. troops had been discussed with South Ko rean officials in Washington. It also emphasized that South Korea was not being abandoned. The U.S. 8th Army announced Sunday Ihe 3rd would be tho fifth American division to leave Korea this year and that a sixth will fol low, leaving two U.S. divisions still on tho divided peninsula. The sixth division lo be rede ployed has not been identified but observers expressed belief it Marine and 7th Infantry Divisions in Korea.

Then the man, holding his hand in his pocket as if he had a gun, asked if he wanted to live to be 37. Bruce said he did and handed ovpr $118. DR. JORDAN SAYS: No Positive Test Is Known For Wild Mushroom Use Every year a good many peo ple roam the fields and woods collecting mushrooms which they cook and eat. This is a dangerous practice as there is no way to distinguish between the edible mushrooms and the several poisonous kinds. Even experts often have difficulties. The superstition that a silver coin will become tarnished from the poisonous varieties if it is put in the dish in which mushrooms arc being cooked is wholly false. Also the taste is not reliable, us most of the poisonous species are supposed to have an agree able flavor. In the United States most cases of poisoning are caused by mush rooms of the amanita family, the best known variety of which is sometimes called the "death angel." SYMPTOMS The poison from the "deati.1 angel," or amanita plialloidcs, is technically known as a toxin. About six to eighteen hours after eating this dangerous mushroom the symptoms begin to appear. rhey usually consist of nausea. vomiting, diarrhea and severe ab dominal pains. There may be great thirst, inability to urinate, dizziness, jaundice after two or three days, and unconsciousness. More than half of those who arc stricken usually die, this gen erally occurring five to eight days after eating the mushrooms. There is no good treatment for mushroom poisoning of this kind although if the stomach can be washed out early most of the toxin is removed and the chances of recovery are better. Anotner type ot poisonous mushroom Is called amanita mus- cana, or the "fly amanita." Here the poison is of a differ ent type and is related to a drug commonly used in medicine called pilocarpine. in inis type tne symptoms ap- ; Jiu Sift!

OTHER SYMPTOMS In addition to the symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and ab dominal pain, there is also sweat ing, tearing of the eyes, narrow ing of the pupils of the eyes, slow pulse and in fatal cases, convulsions and unconsciousness. This variety, if identified early enough, can be efficiently treated with atropine. In such properly treated cases about one in ten succumbs. It seems quite unnecessary to pick mushrooms in the woods and run this great risk when safe ones can be so easily bought. Even experts have been caught by failure to tell whether cer tain mushrooms were one of the edible varieties or were poi sonnus. The safe thing to do is to eat only those mushrooms which have been passed by competent or official inspection. Radioactivity Saves Fingers WASHINGTON Wl Radioac tive finger rings are a new atom ic age contribution to industrial safety, an Army specialist on atomic medicine said Monday. Describing various uses of ra dioactive isotopes in medicine and in industry, Brig. Gen. El bert DeCourscy said in a talk at the opening exercises of the George Washington University school of medicine: 'A woman must put her hand dangerously close to a cutting tool on a machine. She wears a ring that holds a radioisotopes. The hand comes to the danger line, and a radiation detection instrument clicks high danger. This stops the machine." Gen. DeCourscy is director of the Armed Forces Institute Pathology. Car Mishaps Take 2 Lives PORTLAND W Traffic acci dents in the Portland area Sun day claimed the lives of two.
