By BILLY ROSE
in Battle Creek, Michigan, on July 30, 1949, a Mrs. Zilpha
Perske asked her husband for a hundred dollars, and when he w ant
ed to know what it was for she refused to tell him One word led to
n thousand others, and finally the hysterical housewife ran into the
bedroom, took a rifle from the closet and shot herself.
Mrs. Perske hung on fo r tw o days, and during th a t tim e her husband
not only gave his blood to keep her going but persuaded friends to do the
same. A few m inutes before she died, he learned what she had wanted the
hundred dollars fo r—to surprise him on his b irth d a y w ith a new hunting
rifle.
One night in the S pring o f 1924,
In the m iddle of the Illin o is flat-
lands, the engi
neer and fire m a n
o f a fast m a ll
tra in found th e m
selves looking in
to the barrels of a
couple of guns.
The men behind

up to a crossing

they had l u s t
passed.
A t the crossing, four men w ear
ing gas masks stepped out of a se
dan. A fte r shooting the glass out of
the m a il-ca r window, they tossed a
te a r bomb inside, and when the
m a il clerks came out the bandits
w ent in. When they drove off, they
took w ith them 60 bags of regis
tered m a il w hich contained tw o m il
lio n dollars in cash, jewels and ne
gotiable securities.
The case was assigned to B ill
Fahy, the post office departm ent’ s
ace inspector, and in a m a tte r of
hours, road blocks were set up, sus
pects were being questioned, and
detectives fro m New Y ork to San
Francisco were on a 24-hour shift.
Two days after this historic
heist, out of the army of dicks
working on the case got a phone
call from an underworld char
acter who offered Io give him
the name of the man who had
masterminded the stick-up. His
motive for squealing, he said, was
revenge, and when bis yarn was
checked the man he named was
arrested and convicted, and most
of the two million recouped.

Hook Remover
A le rt m anufacturers of fish
ing tackle and gear have taken
pains to provide anglers w ith
a means of e xtra ctin g hooks
fro m fish —usually a messy, dis
agreeable operation. The new
hook rem overs are sim ple and
e fficie n t. One such gadget Is a
metal tube w ith a slot down one
side.
The line Is slipped in the slot
and the tube is slid down the
hook. Only a little
tw isting
pressure is required to free the
hook. The rem over comes In
big and sm all sizes—as one
m ig h t have guessed—fo r both
big and pan-size fish.

Small Minnows
When fishing fo r crappie, or
"n e w lig h ts” and "c a lic o bass” as
they are called in some sections, it
would be well to forget Just now
the big, plum p m innows th a t are
used la te r in the season.
Instead, du rin g the early spring
p u rsu it of the crappie, w hat the
angler needs is a sm all b a it m in
now—the sm a lle r the better.
Use a ra th e r sm all hook and the
“ tig h t lin e " technique. Don’ t d a lly,
once you feel a bite. L if t the rod tip
at once and begin the tuslness of
getting the fish landed. I f you don’t,
the crappie w ill sim p ly guzzle your
b a it and go questing fo r more.
Best results at this tim e of year

12 feet deep.

And despite the hue and cry in
congress und out fo r cu rta ilm e n t of
the grant-in-aid program , the fig-
ures m ount steadily. The M o rrill
act of 1862 Is generally considered
to be the Daddy of the g ra n ts in
aid program . This act provided fo r
the g ra n t of federally owned land
to each state to endow, support and
m a in ta in the land grant colleges of
a g ricu ltu re and m echanical arts.
N ext came the grants fo r the blind
in 1879; next came the a g ric u ltu ra l
experim ent stations in 1887, and in
1888 to provide homes for veterans
and in 1890 the act was passed fo r
annual additional grants to the
A St M colleges.
The grants-ln aid program has
given b irth to the anti-adm inis
tra tio n charges of “ the welfare
state”
and
the
“ socialistic
s ta te " although the charge al
so Is made that "th e Republi
cans would not dare repeal a
single one of these acts.”
M ost of the federal grants are
made on a m atching basis w ith the
states o r other local subdivision of
governm ent putting up an equal or
lesser per cent of the money. It Is
tru e also th a t generally speaking
the re g u la r grants-in-aid in 11 west
ern states are generally higher per
centage-wise than in the rest of
the country fo r the reason th a t the
U.S. governm ent owns about one
fo u rth of the land area In these
states and the higher federal c o n tri
butions are considered to be pay

states w ould receive fro m the land

N e xt came state m arine tra in
ing sehoola and in 1914 cams
the program to establish ag ri
cu ltural extension service and
by 1915 the federal grants In
aid were costing about five and
a half m illion dollars annually.
D u rin g and a fte r World War 1,
the program took a huge sp u rt
when the congress set up federal
aid for construction of highways
in 1916. vocational education in 1917,
control of venereal disease in 1919
and that year the grants-in aid
clim bed to 11.7 m illio n dollars.
But the b lilk of the federal aid
program took shape du rin g the de
pression yeors of the 1930's w ith
grants to the states running to
m ore than a b illio n d ollars anualiy.
These Included the social security
pro g ra m w ith provisions fo r fed
eral aid to the blind, the aged, de
pendent children, m a te rn a l aid, un
em ploym ent
compensation
and
la te r the public health service.
M ore recently the federal a ir
p o rt pro g ra m and the grants fo r
hospital construction came nlong.

were to be retained. In one marsh
in Ohio, a ll carp and other fish
were kille d by the fish poison
"ro te n o n e ."
A fte r thousands of
pounds of dead fish were cleaned
out and removed, the w aters were
restocked w ith game fish. W ithin
a short tim e, w ild celery and sub-
m ergent vegetation suitable for
w a te rfo w l began to grow again.
On one w ild life refuge a recently
planted 10-acre patch of Chufa
(Cyperus esculeutus), an im p o rta n t
w aterfow l food plant, was com plete
ly destroyed by carp. The carp not
only devour entire plants, but, by
th e ir bottom -feeding habits, keep
the w ater too tu rb id to p e rm it seed
germ ination
to re-establish new
plant growths. O ther plants, besides
chufa, which are im p o rta n t duck
and geese foods and w hich suffer
fro m carp depredations are the
sago pondweeds—bearing starchy
tubers—and w ild celery, w ild rice,
bulrush, spike, rush, etc.
This constant movem ent of the
carp, while grubbing out plants on
the bottom , places s ilt over the eggs
of desirable fish —preventing their
hatching. When carp adversely af
fect the grow th of plants, they also
prevent the grow th of numerous
form s of sm all inve rte b rate l i f e -
such as the freshw ater sh rim p —
w hich are dependent upon the plants
fo r th e ir existence. These little ani
m als are an im p o rta n t lin k in the
food chain fo r game fish. T h e ir loss
is usually simultaneous w ith the
loss of aquatic plants.
