Animals in the wild usually give the appearance of having been slicked up for a fashion parade and, in truth, much of their lives is devoted to sprucing up. The importance of their care ful toiletry is emphasized by the fact that parts of many are used exclusively for cleaning and dressing themselves. Take birds. A heron has a special combing device the in ner edge of the claw of the mid dle toe is serrated, and on the breast is a special powder puff consisting of short brittle feath ers coated with a waxy powder. As everyone knows, a heron's waterside food consists primarily of slimy fish, including eels, which leave its head and neck feathers bedraggled. To clean himself, the heron dips its head and neck into the powder puff the powder like many modern clean-it-yoursclf powders on the market soaks up the after-dinner slime. Thus, balancing on one leg. the bird combs out the feathers. The bittern, whose diet is equally messy, has a similar rite only its comb consists of 36 pointed teeth. Among the many birds possessing serrated daws are the nightjars, barn owls, and gannets. Many birds enjoy a thorough wash in clean fresh water and my pet parakeet always joins me in the shower, demanding a daily bath from my cupped hands in luke-warm water under the faucet. Following their bath ing, birds oil their plumage from the little pedicule gland located above the tail. Some wild birds even bathe in the dead of winter using snow. I saw one such during my last year's north polar flight to Scandinavia, in Helsinki, Fin land. Notorious Dust Bathers Many others prefer dust baths every covey of quail having its 'appointed place which they visit regularly. Chickens, too. and pheasants are notorious dust bathers. Curiously, a few birds use live ants in their toilet deliberate ly placing them among their feathers or rolling among the ants. , As for mammals, they too are intensive cleaners. Everyone knows the expression: "Clean as a hound's tooth." Lacking tooth brushes and dentifrices, how do they manage? The answer is in the mouth itself: Inside the cheeks and lips, and in some mammals on the side of the tongue as well, there are natural toothbrushes in structure and appearance much like rubber-like projections. As the mouth opens and shuts, these sweep up and down over the teeth in a cleans ing motion. Strangely enough, you'll find them present In a new-born baby's mouth, although absent in adults. Like many other animals, horses groom themselves by rub bing and rolling on the ground. To shake off the dust after roll ing, the horse uses its twitching muscles. The twitching power doesn't seem to extend to all parts of its body largely being absent in sections which the tail can reach, particularly in the inaccessible back. This would seem to indicate that besides a discourager of pestiferous in sects ,the tail itself is an essential grooming device. Dogs, too, have powerful twitching muscles which they use after swimming, along with the shaking. Twitching Muscles Moles, also, which live in the dusty earth, have powerful twitching muscles. So violent is their twitching that they some times give the appearance of a spinning black ball. Among the larger animals, the beautiful African okapi takes a bath regularly morning and eve ning: going down to the river, By EUGENE BURNS Rangar-Naturalist it chooses a fairly shallow place and then gallops through it full tilt, the resultant inverted show er cleansing its brown, black and white coat. It then polishes its coat with its long flexible tongue. Many animals lick themselves clean, like cows. Cats, too. And some mice spend almost half their lives cleaning their bodies with licked forepaws, like our IO-t-5 little harvest mouse. Others like bears and buffaloes love to rub up against trees and rocks Elephants, of course, love to indulge in both dust and water baths. And there are several animals with specialized toilet devices: spiny anteaters have elongated claws on the second digit: the Australian koala has such cleans ing claws on two of its toes Beavers have a split second toe, used for a comb. In addition, some have, specialized toilet teeth. The lemur's six lower front teeth stick straight out and are used apparently only for comb ing their thick wooly coats. Free- tailed bats have what looks like hairbrush on their feet tough bristles.

MOVING STORAGE PACKING SHIPPING Poverty on Farms, UnemploymentPlague Economy in Korea Editor's note: Following is the last installment of a three-part series on the economic situation in Korea, in the fourth year of an uneasy truce. By SAMUEL KIM United Press Correspondent Seoul (U.R) Grinding pov erty on the farms and mounting unemployment in the cities are Korea's lot in the fourth year of uneasy peace. There is hope, however, that the tremendous United States and United Nations economic aid soon will begin to stimulate the military-burdened economy and produce more jobs and more in come. A handful of prosperous Kor eans dance the mambo under multi-colored neon lights in ca barets or banquet in the plush Bando hotel. But the majority of South Korea's nearly 22.000.000 people live on a bare survival standard. Still, recovery from the ravag es of the war is evident. People are better dressed, in small towns as well as in Seoul. Shops and department stores ' display luxury goods in abundance. Farm Income Low City people are faring much better than those in the rural areas. Reliable but unofficial sta tistics place the average urban income 24 per cent higher than five years ago. The average city family of five earns about $73 a month. By comparison, the average farm family income was calcu lated last year at S39 monthly, which is 17 per cent less than in the pre-war year at 1947 and 12 per cent below the first truce year of 1953-54. Official government figures set over-all per capita income last year at S54.32. Official estimates place the number of jobless at around 1, 500,000, of whom one-third are discharged war veterans, many of them disabled. The failure pf American eco nomic aid and the hopes of a bet ter post-war world to be quickly translated into better living con ditions has embittered some Ko reans. More criticism of Presi dent Syngman Rhee and of the United States is now heard and printed. A Brighter Future This disillusionment, some ob servers believe, accounts in part for the quiet political rebellion at the polls this summer when an opponent beat Rhee's hand-picked candidate for the vice-presidency. The trend has not advanced far yet. Rhee is still the unquestion ed patriarch, hero and leader of the Republic of Korea. The Unit ed States still holds the respect and appreciation of the great ma jority of South Koreans. American and Korean officials are convinced that the prospects for the average Korean from here on are brighter. They pre dict that the economy will soon begin to expand generally as it already has in certain fields, pro viding jobs, better living and se curity. But no one predicts that Korea can expect prosperity, even by Asian standards, so long as the nation is divided into two parts under an uneasy truce. Broad Street Paving Starts Saturday The Rogue River Paving com pany, Medford, yesterday started paving Broad st. from Park to Jackson sts., according to Vern Thorpe, public works supervis or. The project will probably be completed Monday morning, Thorpe said. He added that the project was started after the paving com pany had finished paving Fri day, Fairmont st. from Sum mit ave., to the east end of the street. Bids Called for Road Construction by BLM Bids for construction of a 8.3 mile segment of the bureau of land management Kelsey-Mule Creek timber access road will be received by the Portland office of the bureau of public roads un til 10 a.m. Oct. 19. The segment is located in northwestern Josephine county and northeastern Curry county. The Kelsey-Mule Creek road, when completed, will tap more than 400 million board feet of O and C timber in the Mule Creek and Kelsey Creek . drainages north of Rogue River. Funds for the road construc tion are made available to the bureau of land management by the association of O and C coun ties. The counties have decided to invest in capital improvements on the O and C lands approxi mately one-third of the "in lieu of taxes" payments they are en titled to from the O and C lands. Use Mai Tribune Want Ada 81 YEARS OF INDECISION Roanoke, Va. U.R) Mrs. Maude Dillon, 81, said today she was going to vote this fall for the first time in her life and she would cast her ballot for Presi dent Eisenhower. "I never could decide who to vote for before," she said. WEATHER By United Press Northern California: Fair Sunday, patches of fog on the coast. Wai i i 'haTa - 'ilm, ' V ii M Here is shown some of the up-to-the-minute equipment at the modern dairy farm of Mr. and Mrs. James P. Warren near Ashland. Shown at left is Jim Warren, with Ruth Warren stand ing by the big stainless steel tank. Using milking machines and most modern sanitary methods, milk from the Warren's fine herd of 50 Holsteins goes from cow to modern processing plants without contact with human hands. The Warren's fine 35 acre dairy farm provides a sweeping panorama of the rolling slopes of Mt. Grizzly and the Cascades. As members of the Milk Producers' league of Jackson County, Jim and Ruth Warren sell their fine milk through the League to the leading distributors of pure Grade-A milk, Jorgensen's, Sniders, Gilman's and Cloverleaf.

Try All-Bran and Milk ' nature's great food combination for irregularity due to insufficient bulk Delicious, appetizing-solid nutritional benefits If you have tried one laxative after another with indifferent success, you have a right to be skeptical about trying another. ' But Kellogg's All-Bran is not a laxative drug. All-Bran is a good, wholesome food that, eaten daily, correcta a common cause of irregularity: lack of bulk in the things we eat. And unlike laxative drugs (which seldom contain bulk because they are intended only for temporary relief), All-Bran provides all the natural food bulk you need daily for regularity. Doesn't it make sense that perhaps the reason your present laxa tive isn't helping you is because it cannot get at the cause of your irregularity? Well then, try nature's great food combination All Bran and milk. Eat a bowl for breakfast or before bed at night. Thousands do, with amazingly effective results. The Flavor Best Liked by Millions. All-Bran, of course, is much more than a natural laxative. It is an appetizing cereal with a de licious nutlike flavor. So good that many people prefer it on taste alone to any other cereal. You will be interested to know that KeUcgg's All-Bran is also highly nutritious. Indeed, a serving of All-Bran with milk supplies you with several important food essentials. These include vitamins, minerals and high-quality protein. W. K. Kellogg originated All-Bran over 40 years ago. He im proved the flavor and eating qualities of the whole wheat bran with out taking away any of its effectiveness. All-Bran works because it restores the natural food bulk (gentle roughage) so often lacking in modern-day diets. If you are ready to give Kellogg's All-Bran a fair try, do this: Eat a half cup of All-Bran and milk (morning or evening) for 10 days. See if it doesn't help you as it has already helped millions of others to enjoy comfortable, regular elimination. If you are not satisfied with All-Bran in every way, simply return the empty carton and get double your money back. That's a promise from Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Michigan.
