IS THAT SO!-
How Long Does a Baby Walrus Nurse?
By EUGENE BURNS
LONDON Sharpen your wits,
' time for another ranger natural-
- let quiz. Score 85 and you are an
.' outdoor expert; 70 i mighty
- good; 55 is fair to middling.
1. If you want to make friends
with the small wood's animals,
you muH observe some basic
rules. In each of these five
groups, you have three choices.
. Select the best in each group:
. . .' A. Walt for the animals to
coine to your tent naturally? Or,
. so to their natural quiet resting
; places? Or, go to their gathering
places such as waterholes and
' feeding areas?
B. Let them get accustomed
'- to you the day around? Or, don't
, press matters, meet them only
occasionally? Or, go regularly
each day?
, C. Stroll very slowly? Or walk
normally? Or pretend casual In-
'. difference.
D. When you reach a rendez
vous, sit down. Whittle? Or, read
i magazine? Or, carve a figure.
E. In the animal's presence,
remain silent? Or talk bahy ta;;
; but make it understandable? Or,
talk naturally? 25 points.
2. What, does the stomach of the
seal, sea yon and walrus have in
common with a chicken's gizzard?
10 points.
3. The varied hare of the north-
land, often mistakenly called
rabbit, has definite population
cyclos ith tremendous upsurges
followed by drastic crashes. Do
these cycles occur approximately
every three years? Lvery 10? Ev
ery 15? 10 points.
4. In the same location, trees
burst their buds anoroximatnlv
the same week each year. But,lcvc''
leafing may vary greatly in dif- 2. Lacking broad-crowned mol-
'ferent locations. Which of these ars to crush and grind their food,
factors may affect that timing:
latitude? elevation? bodies of
water? location within a city or
out in the country? exopsure?
25 points.
5. Which of these statements
about the walrus is incorrect?
The young may nurse for two
years. Once it ranged in what is
now the state of Georgia, and in
Scotland, Belgium and Denmark.
It t-ii remain in the water weeks
on I'd. It is found both in the
Antarctic and Arctic. Its menu
is limited to rather small fare
nothing larger than a grapefruit.
Like a whale, it has a coat of
blubber.
ANSWERS: 1. To tame wild
animals, it is best to go to their
gathering places such as water-
holes; go regularly each day, pref
erably early morning and late
afternoon; stroll slowly, in fact,
very slowly; sit down and slowly
carve a figure the flashing of
a whittling blade rr the turning
of magazine pages may frighten
them; and, talk naturally, prefer
ably at the animal's own tone
these animals like the toothless
chickens have rocks (or gravel)
in their stomachs to help mill
their food and aid digestion.
3. Approximately every 10
years, more exactly every 9.4
years.
4. All these things affect the
time of budding: the farther
north, the greater the delay; a
1,000-foot elevation Vi the same
as going north 600 miles; big
nearby bodies of water regulate
the temperature, k e e p 1 n g it
milder and hastening the leafing;
in the city, trees are hastened by
reflected heat of buildings and
streets; and a southern exposure
is better.
5. The walrus's young is per
haps the world's longest nursling
around two years; in prehis
toric times it ranged in all these
lands; it cannot remain in the
water for long periods of time
and will drown; it is not found
in the Antarctic, only the Arctic;
its menu, true enough, is limited
to what it can get in its mouth
between the long upper canines
or tusks; and like the whale it
docs have a heavy coat of
blubber.

: AFTER 55 YEARS AT SEA
Skipper Finally Makes It As a Tourist
JERSEY CITY, N. J. (NEA) After 55 years, Sam I
Groves finally made it. He went to sea as a plain, ordinary ?',rfNTsf,'!!
tourist. I. H
Well, not so ordinary, maybe, since the cruise he took : '
ploughed the same Mediterranean sea lanes he'd sailed
since 1925.
"But this time," he said, strolling down the gangway of
the SS Excalibtir afler it docked here, "I had nothing on
my mind except my hat."
Just about a year ago he came down the gangway of
the same ship on a strctch-l
. cr. it was the last time he
went ashore as her skipper.
TWICE BEFOBE
But in more than halt
Groves packed their bags and he
shipped out as tourist.
What's it like to be a tourist
for the first time after all those
tury at sea, Capt. Groves had.ycaJs as sa"or' oilw and skip
left ship in unorthodox fashion i'1Cr'
twice before one by lifeboat in
a gale o(f Cape Hatleras in 1010,
. once by plunging into the oil-
covered waters otf Casablanca !skippcr

during the war.
And each time, he had gone
back to sea again. So when Capt.
Groves got his sea-legs back after
his 1054 illness, he and Mrs.
Wtr "Vi
him to go to sea, either,
said.
I ' In retirement, Groves skippers
an outboard skiff for fishing trips
near his home in Sinford, Via.
But he keeps his feet dry. "My
father couldn't swim a stroke,"
;hc said, "and I haven't been.
i swimming since I went into that
oil off Casablanca."
Now that he's sampled passen
ger life, he may make another
trip next fall as a tourist, he
added.
"Tourist?" Mrs. Groves inter
rupted. "He wouldn't even go to
Cairo with me. He said he'd
sccn.it before."

Well, as a passenger I heard
more complaints than I did as a
skipper," Capt. Groves said.
"I went on the bridge even
day for a look-around, just to gel
the feel of it. But no back-seat
driving; that's one thing I
wouldn't do. And then 1 played
ncey.-deucy with the caniain and
jthe chief engineer. Mostly it was
