Cotton growers may enter the State Five-Acre Cotton Contest READING & WRITING viSohimSeavetiisiRDlmWfiium T« i 4--S GERTRUDE ATHERTON Buy War Bonds TODAY- ■For Future Ne^ -HE novelist, Gertrude Atherton, has collected some fasci nating lore about Northern California from the early Spanish and Mexican eras up through the time of Pearl Harbor, in her book, "Golden Gate Country.” One story she tells is of the Duke of Manchester who, in the 1870’s, passed through California on a world tour, and who forwarded a letter of introduction to the tycoon, Milton S. Latham. Latham, owner of the most magnificent house in California at that time, immediately tele graphed him an invitation to visit his "country place” and "meet a few friends.” Then he invited all of San Francisco’s high society. The Duke arrived by a late train and was escorted at once to his room. The com pany assembled in the drawing room, the women in Paris gowns and jewels, the men in their poor best. Not one had ever seen a duke, and they were agreeably fluttered, when the English butler, looking a bit strange, flung open the door and announced in faltering tones, "His Grace, the Duke of Manchester!” And then the Duke strode in and the company, to say nothing of the host and hostess, nearly fainted. For he was wearing boots that reached his thighs, a pistol in his belt, and a red flannel shirt. No coat, not even a necktie! It seemed that all he knew of Cahfornia f ^ => he had gleaned from Bret Harte, and he had stopped ofiF in Chicago to buy the prop er western costume, so that all who enter tained him might feel quite at ease. * * • There’s no stopping Bennett Cerf's book of anecdotes, "Try and Stop Me.” It’s been vn die best-seller list ever since it came out, and now it has been made a book-dividend for May and June by the Book-of-the-Month Club. » » * If an island disappears annually under the Danube iood, and re appears with changed boundaries, how can you assess its worth or claim taxes for its occupancy? That is the problem that per plexes the Nazi officials of Regensburg, in Ludwig Bemelmans’ novel, “The Blue Danube.” 'The officials’ only solution is to ignore completely the legal existence of the island—and also to try to ignore its popu lation of four, Anton Fischer, his two old sisters and his niece Leni, who each year go to the island to grow the delectable radishes grhich .i^ey sell to the beer garden in R^ensburg. Pellets Make Capons Tender at Small Cost From time immemorial, old roost ers have made notoriously tough eating, but in that new and better world after the war tough old cock» birds will be made tender. And very simply, too, thanks to science. All that is necessary is a tiny little pill, so small that it takes about 1,500 of them to weigh an ounce. Cornell university has tested a process, first worked out by a Uni versity of California scientist, for “tenderizing’’ old roosters, and has found that it works well. Meat from the treated birds was more tender and more juicy than that of untreat ed ones, as judged by impartial eat ers in the cafeteria. Dr. F. B Hutt, professor of ani mal genetics, tried out the proce dure on roosters in the poultry de partment flock. It consists merely of implanting under the skin of the old bird a tiny pellet of diethylstil- bestrol, a substance that has the same biological properties as cer tain hormones and can be manufac tured synthetically. Among other things it causes an accumulation of fat in the skin, in the abdominal cav ity, and—most important of all—in the muscles. The result, according to Dr. Hutt, is a better looking car cass and meat that is comparatively tender. As to whether the powerful “ten derizing” hormone might in some way harm those eating the meat. Dr. Hutt says “No.” Diethylstil- bestrol is prescribed for certain ail ments in men and women. The flesh of a treated male bird is not likely to contain any more of the hormone than that of any hen. To get practical experience on this point, one of the Cornell investiga tors literally gorged himself with meat from a treated bird. Apart from an overstuffed feeling, he no ticed no unusual effects. Women tn War. ms A WA/^r/MS ANGEL . OF MERC'/ Chimpanzee Family Shows Scientists a Few Tricks Human relationships are main tained largely through speech and hearing; and in a lesser way the voice and ears are important to the social life of animals, points out the Sonotone research laboratories. Many authorities have made stud ies of the use of vocal sounds by chimpanzee mothers in training their babies. When an Infant chimpanzee is very young, the mother at a sign of danger restrains the young monkey by force, drawing it to her breast, chattering the meanwhile. After a time the infant learns to jump into the mother’s arms, first when the mother’s hand is extended to seize the child, and later at a suggestive gesture. Finally, the child learns to respond to a slight squeal. Thus, the mother achieves social control by an auditory signal. Human intelligence is far above | that of monkeys, and human speech | has advanced greatly beyond the auditory signals of animals. How ever. it is pointed out, the simple development of auditory danger sig nals by the mother chimpanzee indi cates the basic importance of speech and hearing to social action. ^ v WOtAEN DO PART EVERLVME rHeVSAVE USED TO REPLACE INDUSTRIAL EATS AND OHS THE mNUFACWRE OF SyNTNETiC RUBBER, FAINTS, " AND FABRICSD N.

Brinkerhoff Boys’ Town Admission to Monsignor Edward J. Flanagan’s boys’, home at Boys’ Town, Neb., is granted exclusively to homeless, abandoned and neg lected boys between 12 and 16 years of age, regardless of their religion, race or nationality. Monsignor Flanagan, the director, adds, how ever, that “we do admit, when it Is possible, boys who are not com pletely orphans, yet are, because of unwholesome living conditions and vicious environments, homeless in the true sense of the word.” Estab lished by its present director in a modest house in midtown Omaha in 1917, the refuge for boys later was removed to the then abandoned Ger man Civic Center quarters in that city. The home remained there until 1920 when the purchase of “Over look Farm” on the Lincoln highway, 10 miles west of the city, gave it a permanent location. In 1935 it was incorporated as Boys’ Town. Need of Organic Matter Organic matter in the soil is need ed to increase water-holding capac ity, to prevent too much runoff and erosion and to make cultivation eas ier. It helps keep some of the plant foods available and supplies practi cally all the soil nitrogen, much of the available phosphorus and a part of potash and other plant foods. The loss of organic matter which had built up our soils through thou sands of years was, to a large ex tent, the sure result of plowing up the prairies, clearing away forests and the following cultivation of land. Much of this loss was unavoidable and no one can hope to restore the original humus content of the land. But what exists can be retained and rebuilt considerably. Precautions With Wiring Don’t run wires under rugs or car peting, over metal hooks, nails or pipes. If you must spiderweb ex tension cords around the place, sus pend them from contact with any metal by making loops of friction tape. Don’t tack electric cords of any kind to baseboards or joists, even though insulated staples are used. You risk breaking the wire by driving the staple too deep. And never drive nails or tacks into wire —it’s the surest way of shorting the wire and touching off fireworks. \ A' Q • R -M-iieiAi'''® “They’re staying home every night and saving their money Bond!’’ 8 VV»f ilWDU^TRyS PEVFLOPMENn 15 IRflWSFWREm 'SHEET RLA5T1C FOeMEftL/ USEP TO PACWASe OPCWIPS^ MOVU pRcrrErTivJs the eyes of armep WIND, SAMR DOST Electric AWHUWCTURERS ^ STEP UP LEAST 25% WHEW (5ERnWW’l$ (ytSMSETTBS ^OLOfiTfi PO/^TLMC} ORE; PePCT Bore R PICTURE OFlUUfR/ RlHSEU RPP fi TR/ SIRMP QRTEP/MROn, 1900 A VIEW JUO6E COURT, LAWv««S, S1EM05, ET CE066 BtCOP Bflvik' fDR
