F. L. "He told what fear doe* to any competitor in any game. But please explain this --I always have understood that most soldiers going into battle were packed with fear -- fear which they overcame. I thought tiie test of true, courage was overcoming fear. It is my opin- Gene Tunney ion that most brave men are afraid, facing death or defeat, but they rise above this fear." This happen* to be, by all odds, the most interesting angle in sport. Certainly, the brave can be afraid and the dumb, ml--n any imagination, can remain unafraid. A complete absence of fear is one of the rarest of all qualities. We have known only three men s* blessed--Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Capt. Eddie Riekenbacker and Cot Wild HOI Dooeran.

Celer Vlsian Cok»- vision is a complex process which baffles complete human understanding, according to the Better Vision institute. However, the weight of experimental evidence points to the cone* a* the element* in the retina which perceive color. Animals with eyes deficient in cones do not see colors, it is believed. Studies indicate that the cone* fall into several groups, each of which is tuned to certain wavelengths of light making up the basic colors. The retina at the eye is not sensitive to color throughout its surface. Only the central area perceives color, with colorless vision prevailing in the outer part of the retina. This color perception area is irregular in shape and varies widely in size from eye to eye. In the center the cones seem most sensitive to green. In irregular concentric»sones the cones respond to the other primary colors. The retina] color fields at the two eyes of the same person differ greatly in size and shape.

Farm Population Up *:*'• "During 1945, the farm poptfitftttih, for the first time since 1982, showed a net increase, with people living on farms now numbering 25,990,000. Although returning veterans, war workers and their families account for most of the increase, other migration is a factor. In 1945, for the first time in twenty-five years, more people moved to farjns than away from them. Farm population has increased in every section of the nation, a survey showed. The Pacific states show the greatest increase, seven per cent in 1945. The Mountain states are second, with an increase of five per cent. Increase in this area bears out the war department survey which indicated that large numbers of veterans would settle in thi West. toe Round Lake arena. -- Read the Want AOS S».Jim Downs NO, I THEM OFF AND THROW THEM AWAY/ DO VOU FILE YOUR NAILS?
