A Nichol's Worth of
Comment On This and That

Washington (U P! The ma
chint ace is taking something
away from Mother Nature par
ticularly in the business of grass
growing.
There is an outfit in Dallas.
Tav which
US
nas com up
with an auto
matic gim
mick that
growi grass.
Being
mower of
lawns of long
standing and
fine reputa-
Rirnui Nichols UUII, 1
think I'll run along with the
new contraption. It's too dum
fast with its growing, even
though the production up to now
la limited to pastures things
like that could spread.
This thing was invented by a
Belgian and it is claimed it can
take a seed of grain and grow it
into a blade of grass six to iVi
inches high in a little over a
week. If you can multiply one
grass seed into a yardfull of
blades what a problem a mower
would have on his hands! He d
have to quit his job and do noth
ing but push a grass cutter.
Good for Paitum
Actually, what the inventor
had in mind wag improving pas
ture land. That might be fine for
cows, but for th lawn I don't
see it. It's bad enough to have
to run along behind a mower
once a week or so. It would be
worse to have to attack the
growth with a scythe before
mowing.
The machine, or unit, works
like this: There is a metal
framed box with seven drawers.
Top drawer holds water which is
mixed with a special chemical
formula. This sifts down by fil
tration into the other drawers,
which are populated by six or
seven pounds of seed.
Temperature control, import
. ant in the growing of grass, pas
ture or lawn, is achieved through
automatic control of electric
heating units. A special control
unit regulates the flow of elec
tricity. So the temperature thus
is controlled. Different seeds
need different temperature.
During the operation, the
seeds and growing shoots auto
matically are irrigated each day
with a solution containing dis
solved nutrients. That does away
with the need for something
else Mother Nature invented
the good earth.
Mother Nature Needed
But the scientists can't do
away with old Mom Nature alto
gether. The seed has toe plant
ed in the soil.
A single, seven-drawer ma
chine, it is said, can produce
forage enough to keep 10 head
of cattle contented. Or, 30
pounds of pregerminated seed
can produce 300 to 360 pounds
of man-made grass.
Other things than grass could
be spawned in the machine.
.Things like oats, wheat and bar-

else.
Over 10,000 of the machines
already are in use in Europe
and American farmers, it is re
ported, are looking around their
acreage and wondering if higher
grass wouldn't produce better
beef faster.
Maybe the invention i a good
idea. But please let's keep it on
the farm. Us city folks don't
have all day to cut grass.
Stevenson Schedules
Knoxviile Conference
Knoxville. Tenn. fU.R Bill
Brawley, assistant to Adlai Ste
venson's campaign manager.
James Finnegan, arrived here

next Thursday's presidential
campaign strategy conference.

running mate, Sen Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn.) are to arrive

Adlai Said Undisputed
Democratic Leader
Portland (U.R) State Repre
sentative Alfred H. Corbett told
the American Veterans Commit
tee yesterday that "Adlai Ste
venson came out of the Demo
cratic convention the undisputed
leader of the Democratic party."
Corbett, who was vice chair
man of the Oregon Democratic
delegation at the convention and
is now cochairman of the Oregon
Stevenson committee, praised
the "courage and wisdom" of
Stevenson in throwing the choice
of vice president open for the
free choire of the delegates.
"The free choice of Estes
Kefauver was a welcome breath
of fresh air, compared to the
rubber stamp operation in San
Francisco," Corbett said.
SCALES OF JUSTICE

FARMING BRINGS ACHES
Hartford, Conn. (U.R) The
Connecticut Chapter of the
Arthritis and Rheumatism Foun
dation jays farmers work too
hard. The experts said farmers
develop arthritis more than any
other occupational group, per
haps because of long spells of
outdoor work without letup. The
foundation urges farmers to
"warm up" in the morning with
light chores.

It is repeatedly said that
wrrteri of certain songs which
became very popular borrowed
the music of same from Chopin
without credit. One such song
is said to have exactly the same
tune as Chopin's "Fantasia."
Another is said to be identical
with the same composer's "Polo
naise." Have some pianist play
these works of Chopin for you
and see if they remind you of
any popular songs.
Mothers
Vivien Leigh, aged 42, lost her
expected baby. It is not unusual
in Britain for women of 42 or
over to become mothers. Last
year in England and Wales over
10,000 women of 42 or over gave
birth to healthy infants. And all
these mothers survived. One was
Mrs. Eileen Sullivan of London,
who gave birth to her first aby
at 46, after 25 years of marriage.
Incidentally, in 1882, an Edin
burgh, Scotland, woman gave
birth to her 24th baby when she
was 63!
Please Not
It was none other tha Hal Steb
bins who observed, "Advertising
is a young mind's business, not
a young man's business." How
right he was. If you are interest
ed in advertising, don't fail to
read Hal's brilliant work titled
"The Creative Spirit In Advertis
ing." No advertising copy writer
should be without it.
Streamlined
That brilliant stage beauty,
Dorthy Dickson, has the same
measurements she had 25 years
ago. That it, 36-25-35. She ap
pears to be about 36 years old.
How old is she? That I cannot
definitely say. However, she was
in the "Ziegfeld Follies Of 1917"
and before that was a w e 1 1
known ballroom dancer being
teamed with that agile and grace
ful fellow, Carl Hyson.

Queries from clients. Q. What

A. She should be addressed and
referred to as "Her Serene High

Q. Where can one enjoy a gen

New York? A. Try Sloppy
Louie's place near the Fulton
Fish Market.
