Corn's Protein Content
Increased by Nitrogen .
Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) A Unl
versitv of Nebraska soil spec
ialist said protein content of
corn is increased by the use of
nitrogen fertilizer.
Tests in five Nebraska coun
ties, according to the special
ist, M. D. weldon, showed 7.8
per cent crude protein in the
corn without fertilizer, but .b
with fertilizer carrying 80
pounds of nitrogen.
Weldon said that as a rule
crops of high . protein content
have a higher feed value than
those of lower content. He said
the use of nitrogen fertilizer not
only increases the yield but also
the feeding value of the crop.
Rockaway Man Held

Tillamook (U.R) A 30-yeaf-old
Rockaway man was in Tilla

with the first degree murder of
his long time neighbor, 55-year-old
Clyde Robert Lewis.
Lewis was shot and killed at
his Rockaway home about 7:55

out provocation. Charged with
the slaying was Huber Fred
erick Camell.
According to Tillamook coun
ty District Attorney, John W.
Hathaway, Camell walked to
within six feet of Lewis and
took deliberate aim while Lewis
was stooped over on his front
porch oiling some equipment.
Shot Through Head
Hathaway said Camell shot
Lewis through the top of the
head and then when Lewis fell
and rolled over, walked closer
and shot him through the right
eye with his .22-calibre rifle
from about 18 inches away.
There were no witnesses to
the shooting although Lewis'
sister, Mildred De Gnath of
Brockway, Ore., saw Camell

On The Side
By E. V. DURUNG
(Distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
How much of a factor has
your wife been in your success?
For what your life-companion
has done for you give her credit
on every possible occasion. One
of the most touching tributes
paid to the wife of a successful
man is the memorial table on
the Brooklyn Bridge in honor of
Emily Warren Roebling. It reads:
"Dedicated to the memory of
Emily Warren Roebling (1843
1903). With faith and courage
she helped her stricken husband,
Col. Washington A. Roebling,
C.E. (1837-1926), to complete the
construction of this bridge from
the plans of his father, John A.
Roebling, C.E. (1806-1869), who
gave his life to this bridge. Back
of every great work we can find
the self-sacrificing devotions of
a woman."
Get It Right
Many stage, screen and tele
vision performers are very fond
of saying they are in "show busi
ness." Strictly speaking, they are
not. The term show business is
only properly applied to the cir
cus and carnival industry. Re
member the extremely popular
song "There's No Business Like
Show Business," introduced in
the musical "Annie Get Your
Gun," referred to Buffalo Bill's
Wild West show.
Asking
Queries from clients: Q. What
about the claim that no great
composer of classical music has
been a cigar smoker? A. Why,
sir, that is ridiculous. Brahms
smoked cigars. So did Franz
Liszt. And to get nearer to the
present, so did George Gershwin.
Q. There have been two Presi
dents named Adams. Others
bearing the same name have
been a great actress, the inventor
of chewing gum, a brilliant col
umnist, a champion jockey and
a celebrated novelist. But has
there ever been a star baseball
player named Adams? A. I'll say
there has. None other than
Charles "Babe" Adams, a star
pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pi
rates for 20 years.
Sidelights
Mary B. Malkern has been
employed continuously with the
George A. Fuller company of
Boston for 56 years. If that isn't
the New England steady job
record for women, what is? . . .
Am informed that many physi
cians with patients suffering
from a heart condition advise
them not to watch boxing bouts
on television. Too exciting, say
the medicos.
Closing Hour
Legal closing for Los Angeles
bars is 2 a.m. Now the bar own
ers there want the closing hour
for selling alcoholic liquors fixed
at 3 a.m. As to this situation, I
am in agreement with Clarence
"Toots" Shor, New York cafe
maestro, who in agreeing that
2 a.m. was late enough to keep
a barroom open, observed, "A
man who can't get drunk by
2 a.m. just ain't tryin'."
Those Twin
As to the tale about the twins
named Peter and Repeater. Here
is the way a Brooklynite says he
heard it some years ago. An
Irishman becoming the father of
twins, as so many sons of Old
Erin do, decided to name them
Peter and Repeater. Then his
wife again gave birth to twins,
two girls. So he named them
Kate and Duplicate. Then once
more his mate gave birth to
twins. The Irishman, now feel
ing there were enough twins In
the family, named the late ar
rivals Max and Climax.

Marine Wins $32,000
Question on TV Show
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) Capt. Rich
ard Sherrill McCutchen, a Ma
rine who commutes between the
Halls of Montezuma and mazu-
ma, threw out a hint today that
he might be the first contestant
to go for broke on TV's "The
$64,000 Question."
McCutchen, who twice flunked
his Boy Seoul, cooking test,
moved up to the $32,000 level on
the CBS-TV giveaway show
Tuesday night by answering a
five-part query dealing with
food and cooking. The lanky,
crew-cut career officer will get
a chance next week to double his
stake or quit.
It was learned by this reporter
that McCutchen stated on his ap
plication to the show that he
"wanted the first $64,000 to be
won by a Marine."
Questioned after the show,
McCutchen smiled confidently
and said:

ducers of the show for me to tell
you whether I'll go on. But let
me put it this way I know and
I'm not saying."
McCutchen, assigned to naval
ROTC at the University of Ohio
in Columbus, will be permitted
to bring an expert to the show
as his aide if he decides to go for
the full amount next Tuesday
One report had it that he might
name his father, John McCutch
en, a retired naval captain who
also is an expert in the cooking
field.
The question that thrust Mc
Cutchen to the $32,000 plateau
dealt with desserts. He was asked
to name the origin and describe
"bombe" (France; a mold or
melon lined with two kinds of
ice cream), zabaglione (Italy; egg
yolk, sugar and wine), olykoek
(Dutch or early American; a
doughnut or cruller with raisins
in the center), flummery (Wales
or early American; a custard
pudding with fruit, and pheffer
nuss (German; a highly spiced
cake.)
If the 28-year-old Marine does
decide to shoot the works on the
next telecast, he will be the
first guest to do so. Two other
contestants, opera expert Gino
Prato of New York and Bible ex
pert Catherine Kreitzer of Camp
Hill, Pa., both reached the $32,
000 level and quit.
One other contestant on the
program, Mrs. Myrtle Power of
Buford, Ga., reached the $8,000
mark in the baseball category.
Mrs. Power, a widow and house
keeper for a family in Roslyn
Heights, N.Y., said she had been
following the sport since 1895.
