Grape Ph. 2-4100 In the Day's News By Frank Jenkins Eisenhower again: At a senate committee hear ing the other day, Senator Mc Clcllan, democrat, of Arkansas, asked Ike: "General, in the light of the free enterprise system and the government's fiscal policies, do you believe the nation's econ omy is healthy?" Ike's answer: "Unfortunately, whenever someone touches on that subject he is a politician and I am NOT a politician." WOULD'T it be wonderful If for a reasonable period of time (say a generation) our na tion's economy could be consid ered ONLY from the standpoint of the natoin s welfare and not from the standpoint of the POLI TICIANS' welfare? BUT that's serious stuff. IN THESE SERIOUS DAYS. NOBODY WANTS TO BE SER IOUS. It's too grim. So let's get over on the lighter side. IN San Francisco, the Associat ed Home Builders were hold ing a banquet. As a part of the program, a dancer was doing one of these athletic dances. She did a back bend. It was a wow and the banqueters began throwing coins. A fo bit piece hit the gal in the mouth and CHIPED HER FRONT TEETH. She's suing the association for $1,500. I HOPE she collects.

As a matter of fact, that is how the whole institution of tipping got started. The high-borns tossed coins to the low-borns who pleased their masters. Most tippers in these days tip for the same reason. The giving of a tip feeds their ego. IN Omaha a police inspector blows his top. Fake alibis given by husbands to their wives to explain being out too late, or something, are causing the cops a lot of trouble, he complains. " He adds: "Invariably they claim they were stuck up or rolled. The wife calls us, or makes sure the husband calls us to tell about it. Actually it takes more work and time to check these phony stories than it does to run down a bona fide case." WELL you'll have to admit that the men can't always stick together. Husbands are al ways men. Cops are usually men. Yet back there in Omaha a man cop spills the works and ruins alibis for all the errant husbands in the town. ONE more little tale from the news that clicks off the wires: Down in Atlanta, in the Deep South, a bandit in full drug store regalia walked into a laundry office, pulled two, shiny guns on a woman clerk, ordered her to "stick 'em up" grabbed a crin- pled children's collection box containing about $5 in small chnnge and vanished into the night. He was a youngster about eight years old, and his shiny guns were cap pistols! IOKE about it? I can't. It's too serious. I want to cry. The poor little devil! He thought he was doing something smart and bold grown-up and unless he's luckier than anyone can really hope for and his case is handled with great delicacy and understanding and human sympathy he may be headed for the juvenile court, and then for the reform school, and then FOR THE PENITENTIARY. Once inside penitentiary walls the chances are he'll come out a hardened and finished criminal. That's the way too many of our penitentiaries work. FIRST SO YEAHs"hARDEST Delaware, O.

L' Nuttfng, who made arrangements for Priaulx' appearance. The Portland man will discuss the lumber industry largest single industry in the northwest. Nutting said that because Jack son county has a large part in this work, and because the fu ture economic welfare of the county is too closely tied in with what happens to the lumber in dustry, he believes Priaulx' re marks will be of particular interest. Early April Sky Review" Bv J. Huah Pruett Attronomer, Extension Division Oreion HIiheT Education System Those who are so fortunate as to sleep beside an east window, or who are compelled by their daily work to be out-of-doors in the early morning, or who have the "astromonical courage" to leave a cozy bed in the dim dawn to gaze at the sky, can se during the next few days clouds co operating a close grouping of brilliant Venus and Jupiter. The closest approach will occur April 5, when these splendid planets will be only slightly over two degrees apart. They are now ris ing in the east southeast 1V4 hours before sunrise, and can be followed by good eyes almost until Old Sol appears. For evening bright-star study, let us observe'around 8 p. m. Bright Mars, the planet of red dish hue, is high toward the southeast and easily dominates A Nichols' Worth of Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prau 'utura Wrltw El Mi Washington, Apr. 1 (U.R) Mrs. Aya Kiss of Cleveland, O., the Wene Chick Farms of Vine- land, N. J., ana a dentist have collaborated to develop an Easter chick that is colored for the season the minute it steps out of the shell. We'll take things one at a time. All the den tist did was lend his drill. Hat-man Nichols It was used to bore a tiny hole in an egg. Then came Mrs. Kiss with patent No. 2477752 a special dye which is injected into the hole in the egg before it's put under a biddy or into an incuba tor. The Wene people came into Ihe picture by trying out the experiment. The result was a batch of chicks colored green, red, pink and yellow depending on the color of dye injected. The first experiment was made at Vineland early this month. One hundred eggs were set. The baby chicks were nor mal, except for their vividly hued down, legs and toes. Department Interested The department of agriculture here is interested, too, for reas ons to be stated in a minute. Mrs. Kiss thinks the dye will serve a lot of uses including that of making chick identifica tion easier. "The feathers eventually will assume the natural colors," she said, "but the legs will be dis tinctly dyed." H. L. Shrader of the animal husbandry division of the de partment of agriculture thinks the new dye may have some practical value apart from pleas ure for the small fry at Easter time. "We already have made some experiments," he said. "It is pos sible that someday, as a result, we may come up with a better chicken for better eating." Shrader, an old hand at the poultry business who claims to be the world's champion turkey carver, said he and his boys have used some dyes in chicks and checked by fluoroscope the disposition of food to various parts of the body. "We someday may be able to determine what kind of food makes bigger breasts and fatter legs and can feed the poultry accordingly," he said. Actively Concerned The professor has been active ly concerned for several years with producing a "chicken of to morrow" with eight generous slices of while meat on each side of the breast. He wanted to make It clear that for his money the new dye was an answer to the cruelty-to-animals complaints that cropped up a few years ago when some stores offered dyed chicks at Easter time. "Many of these baby chickens died." he said. LIVE A CHARMED LIFE with Your whole home "wako up and lives" thanks to the charm of Treasure Tones.

Green Stamps But the new dye, he said, is not injurious even if you put the needle in the chick instead of the egg. Shrader had a good answer for people who claim it is "in human" to give chicks and ducks to the kids for Easter. "Some people say small chil dren are inclined to squeeze the poultry," he said. "They squeeze their own babies and don't kill them doing it." Turned Them Loose A lot of parents took their Easter chicks and ducklings to some nearby park and turned them loose, when they got too large for the apartment, he said. "Dr. William Mann of the Washington zoo wouldn't have any ducks at all if it weren't for Easter," he added. "His are all donated. "And out in Kansas City, I am told that-there is an outfit which goes around after Easter gather ing up ducks and chicks for the benefit of an orphanage. They make mighty fine eating color ed or plain." that region of the heavens. Some what brighter yellow Saturn glows with greater intesity.

Mars and Saturn being planets do not twinkle. All the other star-like objects seen in the evening heavens do twinkle. Mercury is now too close to the sun to be visible. Spica Twinkles Note Spica twinkling low In the east southeast. The only other bright star in the eastern sky is orange Arcturus, which sparkles well above the eastern point of the horizon. It is now at the right-hand tip of a large kite-shaped figure of faint stars which lies on its side and extends northward. Within another hour blue-white Vega will have clear ed the horizon and will be scin tillating vigorously low in the northeast. The western section of the celestial sphere is sparkling with brilliant jewels. Let us imagine a line drawn from the zenith down to a point on the horizon slightly south of southwest. Slid ing down this line from the over head point, we first encounter two stars fairly close together. These are the Twins. The white one is Castor; the orange one, Pollux. Lower, Procyon in the Doc stands alone. Still Little lower, brilliant Sirius even out shines Mars. Group Prominent West of Sirius, the spendid Orion group is prominent. At the top, reddish Betelgeuse holds sway; at the lower part, blue white Rigel. In between, the short line of three equally bright stars, the belt of Orion, is easily spotted. High above the west, the V shaped figure of stars, the Hyades, with bright Aldebaran at the upper tip of one branch, stands upright.
