PEP DECISIONS
T
New York, Feb. 20 U.R)
Little Willie Pep, awaiting call
to the army, headed home for
Hartford today still wearing the
featherweight crown (New York
pattern) after turning back Phil
Terranova's determined chal
lenge in a bloody fight before
10,247 fans at Madison Square
Garden. -
Pep's chain-lightning speed
and brilliant ringcraft enabled
him to win the unanimous 15
round decision last night In his
third defense of the title. But
Wee Willie suffered, a gashed
left brow and a gashed left
cheek while conquering the
stocky, Bronx Italian.
Pep improved the ring s most
imposing record by registering
his 86th victory in 87 profession
al starts.
Whenever I've heard a cer
tain stratum ot society spoken
of In a disdainful manner, right
away I'm as curious as a rabbit
about them and their mode of
life. Why are they considered,
I'll ponder, lower than their
fellows? What is there about,
them which puts them th dis
repute? How are they different
and why are they different from
others of their species?
Natural, then, that I have
much the same attitude toward
birds I find people are snooty
toward. Which was why I first
became interested in the Ameri
can Coot Mudhen to you. At
first I thought this chunky,
smdke-blue bird was looked
down upon because there are so
many of him, for he is omni
present about our marshes, bays
and reedy shores.
Then I heard duck hunters
scoffing at those who wasted
their ammunition on so worth
less a member of the duck fam
ily. Even if. they had to go home
with an empty bag, no real duck
hunter would stoop to mudhens
as a substitute.
So I got interested In mud
hens and I've found them indi
vidual birds and interesting
ones. They have no morals at
all, are frequently polygamous
and mudhen ladles, in their ro
mancing, are a shallow-pated
lot But just the same, they
have what we call In humans,
a lot of personality.
They are great visitors among
themselves and seem to carry
on a lively and continuous con
versation when they feel they
are safe to do so. This conver
sation will be in soft grunts and
plg-llke squeals.
When mating time arrives.
the mudhen girl has plenty of
suitors. She plays no favorites
but stands on the sidelines and
lets the boys fight it out. Then
when the winner thinks he's all
set to claim her, he may find
she's run off with a third party
which has won her heart while
the combat raged for her affec
tions. Truly a shamebs huzzyl

choice, she bosses the nest build
ing with a firm hand. This nest
Is built on a partly submerged
clump of swamp material and
often the lady will reject the
bits her mate brings for her ap
proval. Tips of growing reeds
are bent over and brought down
to the nest rim and anchored,
these helping to keep the nest
afloat. All this time the birds,
especially the male, will cough
and grunt and chuckle in great
satisfaction.
After the nest Is completed,
the hen lays 8 to 10 creamy,
brown spotted eggs. The young
mudhens have almost orange
colored skin and red bills and as
they grow and gradually get the
courage to peek over the nest
rim, their dark fuzzy coats and

OF
Washington, Feb, 20 (U.R)
The war food administration
acted today to spread the small
pork supply more evenly among
civilians and to assure military
and lend-lease users their full
quotas. '
Effective Feb. 26, It will re
duce the government subsidy
paid to non-federally Inspected
hog slaughterers. The action is
expected to channel more of the
limited 'pork supply through the
large packing plants, which are
under federal inspection.
The government has better
control over the meat processed
In IhMR larffer nlants.
WFA reported that federally
inspected hog slaughter has
dropped 46 per cent below last
vear. Total hog marketings are
down only about one-third. This
indicates, WFA said, that small
er nlants. not subject to federal
Inspection, have increased their
slaughter despite the decline In
total marketings.
After Feb. 25. non-federally
Inspected slaughterers may col
lect a subsidy on only 50 per
cent of the number of hogs for
which they collected payments
last year.
