Not only do clo ieti take care of a

bags since closets do collect dust
as any other place In the house. On
shelves, they are ready to get Into
easily. Label boxes for utmost effi

Shelves such as those Just de

es, and these offer the best solu

condition as possible. However, If
you do not feel there Is sufficient
space for blankets as well as hat
boxes on the shelves In the closet.
It's now possible to attach hat racks
or shelves to the backs of the doors
of the closet.
Protect hats stored on racks with
zlppered or plastic covers made
for the purpose. If hats are In con
stant use, then only those used
seldom need protective coverings.
Shoe bags may be placed on the
lower halves of the doors, while
hat racks and shelves can go well
ubove them.
If you have a small closet which
will take care of only essential
clothing for a season, then you'll
have to store clothing from another
season elsewhere. Don’t try to keep
all clothing in a small closet since
everything will suffer.

Is a Pedestrian Supposed
To Guess the Speed of
An Oncoming Car?
A businessman decided to wnlk
across the street from his office
for a cup of coffee. He noticed a
car approaching at a distance, but
figured that he still had plenty ot
time to cross. He was wrong. The
car, which was exceeding the speed

the man sued for damages. At the
trial, the motorist tried to shift the
blame onto the pedestrian "for

could see how fast I was coming ”
But the court held the motorist
solely responsible for the accident.
The judge said that, while a pe

There has been verification, Pogue

several Missouri newspapers about
a wounded goose which was res

Winston E. Locker, of Iantha, Mo.,
says that James Wadlow claims to
have shot the goose.
Wadlow’s story was that while
he and two friends were duck hunt

10 feet to get under the injured

it for about 150 feet until the wound

Elusive Bird
It is no secret that many expert
trap shooters with very good rec
ords seldom get Bonasa umbellus
—the ruffed grouse—on the fly. Any
reasonably good shot can hit a
clay pigeon, but it is a much dif
ferent story when a rocketing grouse
is the target.
The gunner must have his mind
completely on his work when he
is trying to bag this king of all
game birds. Grouse very seldom
fly in a straight line and. as every
grouse hunter knows, they have the
infuriating faculty of managing to
get tree or shrub between them
and the gun in practically nine out
of every ten cases.
Their curving flight is very rapid
and their amazing speed almost
makes the hunter dizzy as he
watches the bird dodge around
hemlocks and pines so fast that
there is very little chance to get
a bead on it at all.

Stunted Fish
The problem of stunted fish Is
not new. As early as 1875, Frank
Buckland had published in his
book,
"Log-book of a Fisherman
and Zoologist,” comments on the
kinds of fish seined from a small
pond in England. He wrote:
" It was a very extraordinary
thing to rem ark that, as a rule, the
fish we caught were either very
little or very big; there seemed to
be no intermediate size. I cannot
quite account for this, but it is
worthy of rem ark that there were
no predaceous fish among these
herbivorous fish. It is generally the
case where you have too many
roach or crap, and no jack or
perch, he.. all sheep and no wolves
the fish are exceedingly abundant,
but are all very small. It is nec
essary in stocking ponds always to
consider the balance of life, and put
into them such as w ill keep down
super - abundant population,
and
therefore prevent degeneration of
the stock of vegetable feeders.”

Predator Data
The fish and wildlife service Is
recommending that farm ers avoid
indiscriminate shooting and trap
ping of small predators, and rely
instead on selective trapping to
take the occasional poultry-killing
skunk or weasel.
It also urges that nesting boxes
be placed for use of small species
of owls. The service points out that
certain perdatory animals which
keep mice under control are among
the farm er's best friends.
