...other man. "When I was not at sea, I lived in the woods. I used to use traps myself, and only slowly did I realize what a cruel thing I was doing. I made a discovery. It is was not that a device which catches a beast by the leg and holds it for hours and often days was cruel and wrong; that has been known for centuries. My discovery was that the bulk of this atrocity was so enormous, so much worst in character than was thought, that it was quite unnecessary, thus robbing the fur industry...
...flock of strange, crested birds flapped jerkily, like tired oarsmen, westward from England to the Newfoundland Coast. They dropped to land, some to die immediately -bundles of white, bay and bottle green feathers. Some capered crazily on their spindly legs, soon to die with broad, round wing outstretched in a last flap and necks outstretched - like architectural ornaments. A few lived. They were lapwings, whose eggs ("plovers' eggs") British gourmets find piquant. Only in isolated cases had lapwings before been seen in North America. They are natives of northern Europe and Asia and, ornithologists believed, lacked hardihood or strength...
Died. Anthony Rousch Mills, 77, potent westerner; at Sundance, Wyo. "Thirty years back," Mills, climbing a trail in the Black Hills, encountered a grizzly.

Cummings '30 had an injured shoulder before the opening of the race, and found difficulty in holding his own with the Purple runner, Chemis...
...because it's out," the problem is an alarming one. The question as to whether the tea-sipping students of Radcliffe, Sargent, and Miss Leslie's should abandon, as they threaten to do, the debated territory of the fashionable tea shoppe to their enemies, the hairy-legged racquetmen, offers possibilities of stone throwing. The female crusader against legs laments a lack of modesty; and the male defendant retorts that "people who wear sheer hose should not wear short dresses." And even if the girls in question discreetly whisper a depilatory solution, the Harvard athlete would probably be no more willing...
