Raleigh, N. C. Mr. Farmer, don't believe those dirty stories
about your pigs.
Mud-slinging rumors to the contrary, your pigs are by nature
the cleanest and the smartest animals on your farm.
Our four-footed friends in certain intelligence tests have out-
smarted even chimpanzees,
brightest members of the ape
family.

This is Just a sampling of the
many true facts about pigs, a
breed of patient creatures that
has been relegated by man to a
life of mud and ignorance.
The dirty stories about pigs
have been authored by the un
informed and misguided. They
have made the picture of a clean
and gentlemanly pig a rare sight
indeed.
Let an expert explain Dr. H.
A Ctaurart honH nf animnl

Nnrth f-arnlina State College Ier lne or low US,
here in Raleigh.
Pigs don't have sweat glands
like humans, he said. Instead,
they have a layer of fat under
the skin. For this reason, pigs
can cool their bodies only by ra
diation and evaporation of mois
ture. Because of the fat layer,
hogs like the temperature in the
house at the sideshow. Surpris
ingly enough, four chimpanzees
and ah orangutan failed to match
the score of the pigs.
If anyone doubts that pigs can
be house-broken, he should con
sider this irue tale about a pet
pig at a recent mid-west state
fair. This well-trained young
pig accompanied his master up
the elevator one day to an of
fice way up in a building near
the fairgrounds.
I After much patient waiting
outside the door, the little pig
ambled down the flights of
stairs, went out the front door
and to his own designated men's
room. He then reentered the
door, climbed the flights of
irs. and was waiting outside
the office door when his boss
came out.
As far as pigs being able to
hunt as well as dogs, one only
need be reminded of the meek
domesticated pigs' savage ances
tor, the wild boar.
But after all, that is another
story.

'Pigs have become associated
with filth only because we don't
give them a chance to get away
from it," explained Dr. Stewart.
"With the temperature hover
ing around 95 degrees on hot
summer days, pigs just naturally
scoot for the nearest waterhole.
Since these oftentimes aren't
provided, the normally clean-
conscious pigs swallow their
vanity and collapse into the clos
est mud wallow."
MRS. HUMPHREY BOGART ADMITS
Boggie's Boy Faces Tests
To See If He's Tough
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood (U.R) Mrs. Humphrey Bogart is looking forward to
a tough life for her young son. All the other kids will be pick'
ing fights with him to see if he's as tough as his old man.
"I hope he does turn out to be rugged," Lauren Bacall said.
"It'll be easier for him if he is. And anyway, I don't want t
panty-waist of a son.
Being the son of two movie
stars has many advantages. But
Miss Bacall thinks it has even
more handicaps. '
It's true that young Stephen
will have a swimming pool,
horses, trips to Europe and a
well-filled stomach.
"Other children will expect
a lot more of Stephen," she
said. "His teachers will too.
And they're likely to take the
attitude that it's up to them
to prove that he's no better than
anybody else.
"Well, that's all right with
me. But I'm afraid it's going
to be hard on him."
Nobody will be picking fights
with the young Bogart for a
few years. He's still in diapers
now. But Miss Bacall thinks
you can't start too soon raising
a child in a normal way.
"I want my child to be as
much like other children
he can be," she said. "I hope
we can send him to a public
school as Stephen H. Bogart and
not as the son of Humphrey
Bogart and Lauren Bacall."
She isn't even eager for him
to play with the children of the
producers and other actors she
meets at Warners where she is
starring in "Young Man With a
Horn."
"I don't want him to get any
big Hollywood ideas, she said
"If I ever hear my son say
'My dad has two Cadillacs and
yours has only one,' I'll spank
his pants off."

Emily Post would be needed
to teach some pigs real table
manners, but any farmer can
make respectable eaters out of
his pigs.
Pigs, contrary to world-wide
belief, don't have gluttonous ap
petites. Too many farmers fail
to feed their pigs enough, not
realizing that these animals re
quire plenty of food because
they grow proportionately fast
er than any other common ani
mal
A sort of psychological fear is
created in pigs by this action,
giving them the impression that
there isn't going to be enough
food to go around. That is why
they dive for the feed trough
when the slop comes around.
When self-feeders are provid
ed and less competition is pres
ent, pigs never show any indi
cation of a ravenous appetite.
Scientists, in a search for In
telligence in pigs, have obtained
some amazing results.
A series of multiple-choice
tests was made some years ago
in which the object was for the
animal to discern position rela
tionships from a maze of com
partments like the mirror
