Is That So?
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.

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.

BREAK THE
HABIT?
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.
