There are people who profess
to see nothing in rabbit hunting.
Fortunately, these are an incon-
sequemtial minority. From earliest
colonial times, it was not the
abundant deer or wild turkey that
hunters sought—it was the rabbit.
In fact, rabbits formed the broad
base upon which gunning in Amer
ica was established. Without them
hunting as a favorite American
sport would almost surely wither.
Why are they our most popu
lar game? There are several rea
sons. First is availability. There
is hardly a square foot of this
continent not inhabited by rab
bits. Second is their sizzling bril
liant speed, their evasive tactics,
their art of concealment.
But they are not difficult enough
to shut anyone out. Dub, youngs
ter, oldster, poor shot, good shot,
new gun, of whatever kind, guage
-or calibre, with dog or without, a-
foot or with limousine and chauf
feur—everybody wins.
There are specific hunting tech
niques for rabbits depending upon
the different habits of each
species. However, certain habits of
all rabbits tire alike. These the
hunter should know if he wants to
WORDS
increase his skill. For example, all
rabbits are vegetarian and predom
inantly nocturnal. Dawn and even
ing may find any of them out for
aging. In daytime they must be
routed from behind hiding places.
Weather plays a big part, accord
ing to an article by Byron Dairym-
ple in Sports Afield magazine. Very
cold weather and storms will send
cottontails below ground, into
woodchuck burrows and hollow
logs. A thaw, with warm, bright
sun, will send them into open grass
fields to sit in little “forms” all
day, soaking up sun. Jacks and
smow-shoes react about the * same
except that they do not hole up,
and that snow-shoes seldom will
fully go out into completely open
territory.
Rain is not relished by rabbits
and it affects hunting. Cold wind
makes rabbits uncomfortable, and
sends them to the lee side of hills
and woods to bask in what sun is
available. High winds make all
rabbits flush wild, run wild, and
cottontails often hole quickly. It
is during average good weather,
the sort when the hunter feels
best and most active, that rabbits
feel likewise.

If your wife insists that you buy
her a fur coat as a Christmas gift,
you will be protected by the Fed
eral Trade Commission. But until
1938, some popular furs were sold
under names which wiftre, to be
polite, misleading. Dyed goat was
sold as “bear”; dyed hare as
“fox”; dyed fitch as “sable.” To

further confuse the issue, dyed
marmot was sold as , *mink,”
“sable,” or “skunk,” dyed mink
as “sable,” dyed muskrat as
“mink” or “sable.” Dyed rab
bit was sold as “sable” or “French
sable.” And to make matters
worse, white hairs formerly were
inserted in foxes and sables to
make a “silver fox.” Suggestion:
Even though the issue is now clar
ified by legislation, let your wife
choose her own fur coat, and than
pay the bill!
“First Volumes” may not be
what you think they are. The Chi
nese produced block-printed books
as far back as the third century
B.C. Books made by similar meth
ods appeared in Europe in the 15th
century. A single printed sheet of
St. Christopher’s writings bearing
the date 1423 is the earliest dated
and authenticated woodcut print
found so far in Europe.

W HAT does it take to make a
man nationally famous? As a
rtarter, he could have a superior
Drain and the talent to write a
inancial column in the New York
rribune at the age of 21 years,
fiving advice to people on how to
nvest their money ... It would
oe a considerable aid if he was
capable of establishing and direct
ing a publishing firm known as
Random House ... Of course, be
ing the author of a weekly, syn
dicated column in a newspaper
would be an asset and if, in addi
tion, he finds himself in demand
as a lecturer and raconteur, he is
well on the way to fame . . . BUT,
to make absolutely certain of na
tionwide recognition, he should be
come a member of a literate tele
vision panel show that is seen by
millions.
Bennett Cerf, a man of undis-
putable ability aa a book publish
er, lecturer, editor, columnist and
raconteur, finda that his latest
“line,” as a panelist on CBS'
“Whafs My Line?” has brought
with it more public recognition
than any other achievement . . .
Bennett found himself branching
out into the entertainment world
when he made his radio debut dur
ing World War n on an interview
program for the OWI . . . From
that start, he began accepting in
vitations to lecture and act aa MC
at dinners . . . Aa he puts it now,
“There must have been a fair
share of ham in me because I dis
covered I liked it.”
After some guest appearances
an “What’s My Liner” Bennett
became a- regular member ...
As to why a man as busy aa he is
be willing to give up his
nights to appear on tele
vision, Cerf says he Just likes it
... He enjoys being recognised
wherever he goes, but this is not
the only pleasant result of his TV
appearances'. . . His lecture dates
have become more Important and,
consequently, more lucrative, since
