CREAMED KIDDIE - With globs of ice cream and lipstick
on her fact, Elizabeth Ann Pulliam, 5, of Boston, Mass.,
appears to be having the time of her life at her mother's
expense. Although, she didn't become glamorous after in
vading her mother's beauty supplies, the youngster is way
ahead of other children in preparing for Halloween.

Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Walking
Bailing the Cat Is a Nice .
Idea that Doein't Work
Around her neck she wears
a colored ribbon, on which is
suspended a tiny bell. "Bell
lnc the. cat" has been fre-
quently proposed as a positive
method of saving countless
song-birds. The idea is that
the bell warns the bird that
Its enemy is approaching.
Cats are naturally preda
tors and the bell idea has
jocn tried in many localities.
In fact, fn some areas it has
become a law. On the lace
of "It; it -.would seem to be a
good. idea. :
" The skulking cat sneaking
Up on the unsuspecting bird
. . would be ringing the tiny
bell at every step. In theory
the bird would hear the sound
long , before the animal was
close .enough to strike; every
, movement of the pliant am
mal muscles would twitch the
bell enough . to cause it to
; give forth a sound. ,
Frustrated Cat
: ' With bells on all the cats,
the bird-lovers would be sat-
lsfied, the cat-owners would
be complying with the other's
wishes and the 'birds would
be safe. The cat herself would
be frustrated; might become
slightly neurotic; might even
become so discouraged that
she would be content to re
main always indoors and eat
only what she was supposed
to eat.
- But facts do not always
coincide or even ' partially
agree with theory. Especially
is this true when we are deal
ing with living . things that
have the ability of reasoning
things out for themselves.
Nickel From Cuba
Claimed Inferior
To Other Sources
'Washington (Science Serv
ice) In closing its $110 mil
lion nickel plant at Nicaro,
Cuba, the U.S. is closing off
a' major source of Nickel
but an inferior one. The U.S.
has announced it is ending
production at Nicaro because
of "confiscatory taxes and ha
rassment by the Cuban Gov
ernment.
In recent years the U.S
has Imported more than 20,
000 tons of oxide powder and
sinter (cinder-like material)
from; Nicaro. In the same
years, Imports from all coun
tries tainted about 30,000 tons
of oxide powder and sinter
' plus between 60,000 and 100,.
000 tons of pure nickel,
More Imiuritiei
?The powder and sinter
carne from Cuba and Canada
The pure metal came from
five European countries and
Japan. The nickel powder
and sinter produced by the
Nicaro plant had more hn
purities than has the Cana
dian. 1 -i " .
, : When there was a big de.
mand for nickel, buyers ac-
ectped the Cuban nickel
gladly, but during 1958 an
oversupply of nickel de
veloped Buyers began to look
for higher grade material. A
research program was direct
ed towards improving and di
vertifying the Nicaro prod
ucts, but Increased activity of
the Cuban revoltion in the
Nicaro Tea in the last part
of 195. inded the research.
' ' The . ajor use for nickel,
'exclush'a of scrap nickel, in
the U.S. has been for stainless
itccls, '
The inventor or the me
chanic always knows exactly
what a machine will do, but
trylng'to foretell what an an
imal will do under differing
circumstances or under un
usual conditions is something
else again. An animal can de
part from the routine; can
adjust itself to a change, can
even learn to do Things dif
ferently than its ancestors.
Something Fishy
It usually takes but a rela
tively short time for the
"betle'd cat" to realize that
something, fishy is going on.
By the time it makes a few
unsuccessful stalks only to
find the bird "has flown the
coop," the cat begins to real
ize ! its- presence is public
knowledge.
1 Consciously or subconsci
ously the animal decides to do
something to correct the situa
tion, so It adjusts Its stride
to tile opposite swing of the
bell. By the end , of a few
days It has learned how to
walk without the silly bell
making the slightest sound. ,
The only chance the bell
has of ringing is In the final.
sudden pounce, ' and by that
time it is too late to warn
the bird. Contrary to what the
advocates of. the bell Idea
hope for, the "belled cat"
will save very few song birds.
The Idea of "bell ne the
cat" is about as full of loop
holes as a weather forecast.
