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. This busi
ness of throwing coins to en-

tertainers was hot stuff back in
the feudal ages when the peas
ant's daughter danced in the feu
dal noble's hall and the knights
and the counts and the mar
graves and the dukes threw
money at her.
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.

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.

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.

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

Spica Twinkles
Note Spica twinkling low In

other bright star in the eastern

sparkles well above the eastern
point of the horizon. It is now
