SPORTS AFIELD By: TED RESTING Many a good shot who knows his ducks one from another as far as he can see them in flight, never troubles to distinguish betwoen the helpful and the harmful hawks. At the sight of a "hawk" he bangs away and nine times out of ten it's a beneficial mouse hawk he kills and leaves hanging on a fence. Donald CultrosS Peattie, this country's best known nature writer, reports that he has never yet seen a Cooper's hawk or a goshawk pun ished for its depredations. And these are your poultry and game bird killers. Let's get to know this fellow, He is a little smaller than a crow, and tne female is crowsize or a bit more 18 to 20 inches from the short curved beak to the tail tip. Coopers are slim and trim com pared to any other hawks. In per ching they have a curious, ugly 'look hump-shouldered, with neck hanging and beady red eyas watching. When they fly they don't, like the beneficial bawks, go soaring up in wide circles, or shoot in a long glide while whistling boldly. Its flight is business-like and perform ed in stolid silence. The bird flaps a few strokes, then glides, then flaps apain, in a crow-like fashion. The important thing i-, to be able to tell the Cooper from the innocent hawks when, gun in hand, you see it from beneath as it hangs in the sky. The Cooper has short, round wings, but a long slender tali. Most other hawks -have either (a) short, round wings and short, broad tails, or (b) long, pointed wings and long slender tails. " Only a few other hawks have the Cooper's (chicken hawk, the big blue darter) combination of short, broad wings and long slim tall, and Safety Code for Skaters v.!

Neil Bolton Attends School During Vacation Neil boltnn. Agricultural agent for Tide Water Power Co. spent a very profitable vacation this year when he attended the Reppert School of Auctioneering.
