ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD '
Our American view towards all
natural resources always has been
to take what we can and the
Devil take the hind most." It does
not matter whether It has been the
wasteful utilization of our forest
wealth, prairie land, water re
sources or in just hunting and fish
ng for most men take that altitude.
Until such an attitude is replaced
-with a feeling on the part of each
of us that "this resource belongs
to mo and it Is my duty to see that
it is not destroyed." Until we of
America develop this type of atti
tude the combined efforts of all nur
conservation agencies will be as fu
tile as shoveling snow with a pitch
fork. It Is not enough to ask for In
creased appropriations for the Fish
and Wildlife Service, the National
Park Service, the Soil ConservS'
tlon service, the Forest Service and
all the other agencies engaged in
conservation work. Nor win in-
creasing taxes upon special users
of resources like those upon the
users of the outdoors In state hunt
ing and fishing licenses, duck
stamps and what not will solve
the problem. It is true that more
money is needed for conservation
work in many places and we Indi
vidual Americans will be called
upon to furnish the finances through
taxes and contributions, but money
lone, - cannot accomplish every
thing, as we have discovered to
our sorrow in our foreign relations.
Let tia look at hunting and fish
ing for a moment as a good exam
ple of our attitude toward outdoor
resources. In England, good hunt
ing and fishing have been main
tained for hundreds of years, de
spite a dense population, because
the game and fish belong to the
landowners, They have a personal
Interest In It, and they care for
it. The streams are not over fished
and the game is not overshot.
In the United States we believe
the gams belongs to all the people.
As a result of belonging to every
body, the game. In effect, belongs
to nobody. On many carefully man
aged, productive English trout
streams, privately owned and
fished by only a limited number
of anglers, the daily limit is a
brace of fish. That's English for a
pair of a kind. On most of our
public streams, fished by an end
less procession of anglers from the
beginning of the season to the end,
the limit Is 10, 15 or 20 trout
a ridiculous figure that could not
be produced by any river in the
world. . ..
I certainly don't advocate the
adoption ot the English system. I
BRUCE BIOSSAT
The cane of Dr, J, Robert Op
penheimer, the physicist who head
ed the wartime Los Alamos labor
atory where the atomic bomb was
made, adds up to a very strange
and sad story.
He is now und:r suspension from
his various advisory positions to
top government defense agencies,
pending the outcome of an Inquiry
by a spelcal security panel of tnc
Atomic Energy Commission.
Oppenheimer is charged with
many things that are said to make
him a security risk. On most of
these he has been tried and cleared
before, but since new accusations
have been added and new security
regulations are in force, the AEC
(elt it mandatory to re-examine the
dentist's file.
It would not be wise for outsiders
to try to prejudge his case. A
board of respected men is studying
It and we must await its findings.
But it Is reasonable to look at some
part of Oppcnhclmer's life which
aeem to account for his present
Involvement.
For the most part, he Is charged
with having actively pursued Com
munist associations during the per
iod 1040 to 1043. But he Insists
he never joined the Communist
Party nor accepted its rigid doc
trines. He was drawn to Commu
nist ideas through their "humani
tarian" appeal, as were so many
intellectuals in recent decades.
Yet Oppenheimer had no knowl
edge against which to measure the
validity of this appeal. His mind
1nfn U'Ck rnmnlnln ,..,., .M ....
turn was a complete vacuum on
pontics and economics.
During his early professional
days in California, except for some
.outside attention to lileraturc, he
was totally Immersed In science.
He never read newspapers or mag
azines. He had no radio and no
telephone. He did not learn of the

There would soon be no hunting
or fishing for the average individ
ual who cannot afford, either singly
or through club membership, to
own his own trout stream, lake,
or game reserve.
What I do advocate, and what
I believe with all sincerity, is that
sportsmen who are aware of the
direction their free sport is mov
ing must somehow instill in trie
majority of men who hunt and fish
a feeling of possession, a realiza
tion that the game and fish are j
theirs to cherish and preserve -
not something to which they mere
ly must beat the other fellow.
Most sportsmen adhere to the
common misconception that the
majority of men who hunt and fish
are decent law-abiding, square-
shooting individuals. I only wish
that were the case. With regret,
however, I must say that the over
whelming majority of men and
women who hunt and fish are in
terested solely in killing, more
game and catching more fish. Near
ly all of them either are deliberate
game-law violators or else are re
strained from violation only by the
fear that they will be caught, This
applies everywhere, regardless of
race, creed, color or financial stat
us. The only bit of confirmation I
need to point to Is the wall of pro
test that meets the game
agencies should they even propose
cutting the bag limit from Its pres
ent traditional position. Cuts in the
waterfowl bag brought forth walls
from high and low places and more
than once I listened to sportsmen
say: "It's getting so that it's not
worth while to go hunting any
more."
In addition to being game-law
violators or potential ones, many
of these individuals "regard the
landowners, on whose property
they must hunt and fish, solely
as stupid pests whose wishes are
to be flouted in every way. Gates
are left open, fences cut. growing
crops trampled, poultry stolen and
shot. Such things are not rare oc
currences lor they happen every
day this community during the
hunting season.
I could go at great length to cite
examples of the obvious violations
of the rules of good sportsman
ship, however How many hunters
do you know who devote a few
days each year to improving game
habitat in the areas they hunt?
How many anglers who spend ct
least some time working at stream
improvement?
Don't write me a letter. I can

That any intelligent adult could
so Isolate himself from his world
seems really incredible. He had
only to pick up his newspaper to
get a broad and reasonably accur
ate portrait of his time, yet for
years this brilliant scientist never
did that simple thing.
For this weird Isolation, which
made him so incomplete a man
and a thinker, Oppenheimer must
bear much personal blame. Arthur
If. Compton, Vannevar Bush and
James B. Conant are proof that
scientists can be politically In
formed and intelligent, can Indeed
sometimes make unique contribu
tions to practical world affairs.
Yet the whole blame Is not Oppen
heimcr's. He was one product of a
time when it was not thought nec
essary to teach scientists anything
but science, or engineers anything
but building. They were trained for
special performance and keen pur
suit of special knowledge,
Moat educators in these field
know better now. Many schools try
to make the scientist a whole man.
But the pressures of time work
agnlnst him, tending to squeeze out
all but his mind-consuming special-
No one could demand that the
scientist make of himself also a
msiorian, an economist and a po
mical specialist. But it would an-

from his retorts and test tubes

THE DOCTOR SAYS
' By EDWIN P. JORDAN', M. D,
Some of the instruments avail
able to medical men have made
an enormous contribution to the
diagnosis and treatment of dis
ease, yet these are never the
whole answer to a medical prob
lem. They are really agents of
the physician's training and Judge
ment. Q Does an electrocardiogram
and fluoroscopic examination show
whether or not a heart condition
is present? Mrs. H. S.
A Yes. The electrocardiogram
Is a kind of tracing of the electri
cal Impulses passing through the
heart. In some kinds of heart dis
easebut not all this tracing will
reveal the presence of the disease
ami sometimes its variety. Tne
fluoroscopic examination is con
ducted with X-ray, and is primar
ily aimed at determining the
exact size of the heart and large
oiooa vessels arouna n. bow oi
these valuable tests have to be
carefully Interpreted In the- light
of other information obtained by
history of the patient's illness and
by physical examination, and
neither Is of value directly in
treatment.
Q Would the presence of for
eign matter revealed by heating a
urine specimen indicate a serious
disorder? W.H.J. I
HAL
NEW YORK Wl The other
night I heard a man say right out
loud that, if he ever had a chance
for a second life, he would prefer
to return to the earth as a woman.
This startled me. Being a wo
man has always seemed to me one
of those unlucky mishaps in life
that happen to about half the pop
ulation. Whenever I hear a woman brag
ging about how she enjoys woman
hood, I figure she's just being a
good sport and is trying to put
her best face forward and make
the most of a raw deal.
But for a man to want to essay
the role of womanl Outlandish I
Would a dog want to be a cat?
"Why?" I asked this male trai
tor. "Because woman is the sex of
the future," he said, "And anyone
who wants to keep in step with
the times would, If he had a choice,
naturally prefer to be a woman.
"This Is the twilight of the
American male. Men have been
going downhill ever since they quit
packing swords and started car
rying umbrellas.
"In two centuries man has de
generated from cock-of-the-walk to
a servile lackey to a lady. Women
control so much ot the world's
wealth today that five out of six
husbands have to borrow, bus
fare from a woman even to go to
work in the morning.
"In another generation at the
most the process will be complet
ed. Then only ignorant people will
be men. But they won't be really
men; they'll be abject prisoners.
Worse even slaves."
"Just how do you figure that
out?" I asked.
"Well," he replied. "Let's look
at what Is happening. In the old
days a man came home tired and
hungry and looking for peace. His
wife was all worn out, too, from
toting In firewood, doing the
washing, lugging water from the
well, feeding the kids and slopping
the pigs and maybe even milk
ing i few cows.
"Both husband and wife were
too exhausted to pick on each oth
er, and marriage was a draw."
"You mean it isn't now?" I
murmured.
Anybody with any sense knows
it isn't," he replied sharply. "The

A This presumably refers to a
test aimed primarily at finding
the presence of albumin. When
found In fairly sizable quantities
this Is commonly one sign of kid

for investigation of .that organ.
Occasionally It appears to be pres

any fundamental serious disorder.
Q Can you tell me anything
about the gas which is supposed to
be used In fluorescent bulbs?
"Mrs. R.B.
A I believe this is usually ar
gon or some similarly inert gas.
I have not heard of any harm
from breathing this gas after the
breaking of a bulb if that is what
is worrying you.
Q I have been attempting to
have the hair on my face removed
by electrolysis for six months but
It keep Eoming back darker and
coarser. How many treatments
does it take? L. G.
A The purpose of electrolysis
is to destroy the follicle or bed
from which the hair grows.
When this is done the hair will
not sprout from that follicle again.
When properly performed it should
take only one treatment for each
particular folicle through these
hair beds can, of course, be quite
close together.

husband still comes home all worn
out from work. But the housewiie
has so many gadgets to lighten
ber labor that she still has some
fight left in her at nightfall. This
gives her a big edge In an argu
ment; the husband simply doesn't
have the strength left to defend
himself."
"And you think this situation will
get worse?" I inquired.
"Worse?" he whined. "Wake up,
man, you're facing utter disaster!
"In the pushbutton home of the
future, a wife will press one but
ton and zingo! the dishes are
washed. She plays another small
tune on a control panel and the
vacuum cleaner will gallop around
the house and clean It up In 12
minutes.
"The wife will then have the
rest of the day in which to lie
down and rest while she dreams
up new ways to act as a Monday
morning quarterback to her hus
band. "When he comes home, all worn
out naturally, she will push anoth

cooked, pre-frozen dinner. By the
time he has gulped it down there
Is mama,, fresh and strong as a
buffalo in April, ready to tell him
1,001 things that are wrong with
him. What chance has he to ar
gue back? He's all worn out from
earning her a living.
"All he can do is sit there and
cry, remembering a time when
men were men, and swords hung
from their side.
"Marriage in the future will be
strictly a one-way deal and it'll
be the woman's way. Wouldn't any
