B. Warner and Slim Summerville in the featured roles. Clad in respendent uniforms,' the band, eight companies of infantry, a ' battery of artillery and the famous Black Horae Troop of cavalry man oeuvred on the broad campus of Cul ver, while sound cameras made a rec ord of a military spectacle which could not be duplicated except in a government institution. The colorful atmosphere of Culver serves as a background for a story .which is filled with interesting and picturesque scenes, as well se a qual ity of dramatic intensity which makes of ‘‘Tom Brown of Culver” one of the most Unusual screen plays of the sea son. The return of Tom Brown’s ; . ■ • • father after he has supposedly died a hero’s death on a battle field in France, with a posthumous award of the Congressional Medal of Honor, brings about a situation which reaches the heights of drama.

His description of the fire was vivid to say the least, but when he began a description of the antics of the birds thst were in the path of the fire it was to laugh. He stated that as the fire advanced the hundreds of birds thst were in its path screeched and wheeled about above the smoke and flames, unable to com prehend what thia great red monster was that was destroying their nests. Get it? Neste in our foresta in the month of August. Just goes to show that when a fellow tries to write on any subject that he is not familiar with he is bound to pull a boner. The gun department of one of the largest out of door magazines in America is conducted by a certain col onel who is an undisputed authority on guns and ammunition. He answers any and all questions concerning fire arms and ammunition. So I was nat- uraly very much amused in a recent issue of this famous magazine at some “dope” on sighting guns that thia great authority passed out to a poor novice that had just purchased a fine standard make of revolver. The owner of the revolver wrote in and in quired of the expert how he could cor rect the shooting of his revolver. The gun was shooting several inches to the left of the target. He received the astonishing information from the expert to follow the rule—if you wish your gun to shoot to the right, move the rear eight to the right Now that is certainly some advice from an ex pert He gave the poor novice in formation Just opposite from what he should have done. When the-novice moves that rear sight to the right and ! awaiting ths return of a hunting com panion and there was a big buck lying beneath the very log upon which be was walking. 1 have known of eases where hunters slid off„logs and jump ed deer out from under their very feet la fact I have done it myself. Atone time I passed a huckleberry bush, Chen decided to go arobnd it to look on the .other side of a hilL An I stopped a- round the bush a big three pointer jumped up on the other side of it as close to me that I could have poked him on the nose. An incident occured a few years ago over in Douglas coun ty thst show» how close a buck may be approached when he thinks he is hidden. *A couple of timber cruisers ware walking along a traif when they noticed a fine big four point buck ly ing benbath a scrub oak about ton feet below them. One of them remarked, “now isn’t that S shame; some one has wounded that big buck and he has crawled under there to die”.- The other man was smoking a cigarette aM he tossed it right down by the big bock’s Rose. But the big deer never moved. Finally one of them picked up • small rock and bounced it off the doer’s back. The buck jumped straight into the air and with great leaps went tearing down the mountain side. If a hunter told me that he had actually walked up and kicked a buck while it was lying in its bed I would not doubt him in the least. The trouble with moat hunters is that they do not study the habits of the deer enough; that is why there are so many un successful hunter». One thing is a fact—it is almost im possible for a hunter to go about through the woods without making noise enough to attract the attention of the deer he seeks. Nine hundred and ninety-nine times out of a thous and a deer is aware of the hunter’s approach; he spots the hunter before the latter sees him. When mere man has trained himself to the point where he can “out-elicker" an old buck— sneak upon him without the deer be ing aware of his approach, said man 's a wizard indeed. The deer is con stantly on the lookout for its natural enemies—the approach of the soft footed cougar; it is possessed of keen hearing and keen scent as well as an uncanny instinct which warns it of danger. That is why it is seldom caught unawares. But in times of groat danger, when deer are exhaust- ed from running from coyotes or dogs, or are practically helpless from a cou- gar’s attack they will actually seek his revolver shoots even further to the ' toft what will he think? He will nat- uraly figure that the expert couldn’t ths protection of man—will ran right be wrong, and that he, the novioe, ap to him or coms to his very door- must surely be cock-eyed. And in the tad. That is v$ere that instinct ex- same issue of this magasine the sanie j erta itself in the wild animal. It seems expert informs a hunter that a gold to’etnas the fact that in such cases it bead oa a rifle is no good; that it will will be afforded protection.

It’s strange that after hunting an/ ‘have had many hunters tell me of trying all aorta of sights for year» their expeienees with this strange that most old doer huatera’ rifles will malady. One old timer, Lee Goodman, be found adorned with a gold front tells of being on a stand years ago and rf hearing the deer pursued by a dog bead. Not long ago while seated in a local :oming his way.

There were sight his gun w«s describing cirelea. several old deer hunters present snd But never-the-less he touched the trig each one rotated numerous exper ger and down wont the deer. After he iences that he had had while deer had killed it, it waa some time before hunting. Interest was keen: in fact I he could got over the palsy that seem became so interested thst I missed my ed to have attacked him. Another dinner. Many argumenta came up dur hunter tells of both his fest flopping ing the story telling, but upon on«j up and down at sight of s doer. They thing all present agreed and that was kept this up until he isy down upon the fact that hundroda of doer were his back. Another hunter shook so passed in the woods that were never st the approach of a big buck that he glimpsed by the hunter though they was unable to shoot. Another hunt were very close to him lying in their er’s foot simply wouldn’t stay on the beds sometimes only a few feet dis ground.

Another one got the shakes that he had had with bucks keeping in and then sat down and laughed until their beds while stalking them.
