A bootblack once told me that by looking a person's shoes, he could tell a great deal about the wearer's habits. So. too, can the woodsman by studying the feet of strange animals. Generally (jmong swift-moving animals. like the pronphorn, antelope, the tendency is to ward small feet with few toes. But animals living on soft ground such as sand (gazelle), or marsh (moose), or snow (lynx) go to other extremes and develop a wide. long, snow-shoe-type foot. Those on rocky terrain evolve skidnroof feet. Sand dwellers have developed comparatively wide feet, usually extended even farther by stiff hair, so that they can move over the sand like water striders on the surface film of water. The perboa. a desert rat. de veloped heavily-haired hindfeet which act as snowshoes. or rather sand-shoes. As a result, this 7-inch fellow can skim over the sand lightly, and quickly, making 15-foot long leaps with out jinking into the sand. Of those animals living among rocky terrain, such as the Dall sheep, mountain goat, and big horn sheep, their skidproof hooves are marvelouslv adapt ed for rock work, to the envy of every mountain climber. The sole of each cloven toe is con cave with sharp edges so that each one. when pressed down hard after a jump, acts as a suction cup. To help even more, the clefts between the two toes on each foot open toward the By EUGENE gURNS Ranger-Naturalist bou has made perhaps the most dramatic foot adjustment. Its feet are specialized not only for snow, the two halves of the great hooves spread to support further its heavy weight. Be sides the sharp outer edges of the concave hooves enable it to travel sure-footedly over hard crusted snow, slush, ice or rocks that would be almost impossible for most members of the deer family.

The 280 member graduating class will attend baccalaureate services at Hedrick Junior High today at 8 p.m. At this service the class hopes to be inspired Miller, Marilyn Have Ho Comment On His Conviction Washington 1P Playwright Arthur Miller and his actress wife, Marilyn Monroe, celebrat ed her 31st birthday Saturday in seclusion with "no comment" on his contempt of Congress conviction. The Pultizer Prize winner, free on $1,000 bail, and his blonde wife left their New York home Friday by car. A few hours earlier Federal Judge Charles F. McLaughlin here found Mill er guilty on two counts of con tempt for refusing to identify persons at a 1947 Communist writers meeting. "I will have no comment at this time and neither will my wife," Miller said after hearing the judge's verdict. Sentence Delayed Miller may not be sentenced for two or three weeks or longer while McLaughlin awaits recepit of the usual pre-sentencing re port from the probation office. In that time, the case might be complicated by a Supreme Court ruling on a similar case involv ing Illinois Labor Leader John T. Watkins. The high courst is expected to hand down a de cision on the Watkins case be fore the close of its current term expected in mid-June. McLaughlin cited an appeals court ruling in the Watkins case in his 15-page decision. It said the fact that an inquiry "may reval "something or 'expose' something (one's friends) is in cidental and without effect upon the validity of the inquiry." "However commendable" Mill er's motives were in refusing to inform on his associates, that had no bearing on the legal points of the case, McLaughlin said. Americans Feared Held by Hungary Vienna Austrian authori ties report two American stu dents who disappeared while taking a tourists' peek at the heavily-fortified Austro-Hungari-an border were feared kidnaped by Hungary's Communist police. Austrian police identified them as Myron A. Gilbert, 20, and Warren William Hair, 20. Their home towns were not known im mediately and the U.S. Embassy had not yet been officially noti fied of their disappearance. An official attached to the state police in Burgenland Prov ince bordering Hungary said the two Americans had been miss ing since Sunday.0He said police were notified of the disappear ance by an Austrian girl tenta tively identified as Buy de Peron. They quoted her as saying Gil bert told her to go to the police and to the U.S. Embassy if they failed to return from their visit to the border. Mayflower II Reports Progress in Voyage London ilP The Mayflow er II was reported sailing on her northwesterly course at six knots Saturday by Commander Alan Villiers. The replica of the Pilgrim ship has made 47 miles west and 70 miles north during the last 24 hours. r Friday the ship was reported within 1,500 miles of Plymouth, Mass. by the Rev. Thomas McCamant, the sermon speaker. Next Thursday, after three rehearsals, the class will again assemble at Hedrick Junior High for commencement. Clifford Robinson, director of secondary education in Oregon, will be the guest speaker at this service. Each senior will be piven three tickets for seats on the floor of the Hedrick gymnasium but school authorities advise that the balconies will be open to everyone. Gifts and flowers for gradu ates should be sent to the stu dents' homes because of inade quate facilities to handla them at Hedrick. RHYTHM is the name and it means good music for Medford students.

Confidential-Magazine Trial Dale June 6th Chicago (IP) A trial date, June 6, has been set for Confi dential Magazine on charges stemming from an article dis cussing a pill that "ends unwant ed pregnancy."
