More Active The Animal,
The Tougher The Meet
Did you know that extreme
laziness is desirable in any ani
mal destined to become an en
tree on a dinner menu? It's
true. Exercise toughens
muscles, makes them fibrous
and stringy. The older, or the
more active the animal was be
fore it was slaughtered, the
sharper your knife will have to
be when the steak, or coast
comes to your table. Age is also
a determining factor. From old
cattle comes tough meat. The
same formula applies to deer,
chicken, rabbit, sheep, or any
game or domestic tlesn.
There is at least one startling
exception to the age and exer
cise business in relation to
toughness! it is the flesh of fish
Regardless of age or amount of
exercise, or number of miles
traveled, fish-flesh is just as
tender as it was when the fish
was very young and before it
ever went anywhere under is
own power. Even the aged fish
has tender flesh, and toe, it's
a pretty well established fact
that a fish continues to grow, at
least a little, as lone as it lives,
So, if you are ordering meat
instead of fish, insist that your
steak or roast was cut from an
animal that was relatively
young, and as lazy as a pet
coon.
Small Egg, Big Crocodile
Did you ever know that the
larest animal on the face of
this earth that is actually
hatched from an egg is a cro-
cod le? It's a fact. There are
crocodiles in the Nile river that
may be 20 feet m length and
weigh nearly 1,000 pounds,
They are hatched from an egg
that is barely larger than an
egg laid by a goose.
Did you know that the giant
squid of the North Atlantic
ocean is the largest invertebrate
in the world. Not only is this
animal backboneless, but it does
not have a single bone in its
body. Without the buoyancy sup
plied by water, these 50-foot
monsters would be nothing but
helpless, shapeless masses of
soft flesh.
Did you know that the very
smallest animal in the world,
as far as it is known, is the
shrew? This strange little ani-
mnl ie AniimnoH hu nam,- UJlm
poison sacs and the bite is as
deadly as that of a venomous
snake. The tiny creature bites
its victims and injects venom
into the wound. With its appe-
tite and hair-trigger temper, to
gether with its dangerous bite,
the shrew could be a dangerous
animal, except for its dimmu
tive size. But for a mammal
whose body is barely two inches
long, the shrew is a pretty tough
little guy.
Objectionable Flesh
Did you know too, that if your
family cat caught and killed a
shrew, it would not eat it? By
some strange, chemical revul
sion, inherent in these peculiar
little animals, their flesh is ob
jectionable to flesh eating
predators.
Probably you are acquainted
with the fact that the only
mammal in the world gifted
with true flight is the bat. The
one you might credit with fly
ing ability would be the flying
squirrel, but this timid little
creature can't fly at all; like
the so-called "flying fish," the
best it can do is glide; better
it had been named the "gliding
squirrel."
Matador-Officer
Throws the Bull
MANCHESTER, England
(UPI) A policeman became
a matador and got his bull on
the rainy streets of Manchester
Thursday.
Policeman Johnny Oliver won
the bullfight by bringing the
bull to us knees with a headon
tackle.
The bull had escaped from a
local slaughter house, charged
through three miles of streets,
knocked down and injured a
woman and terrified women and
children.
The 500-pound bull was corn
ered between a truck and a po
lice car. Oliver moved in and
grabbed it, twisting its head un
til it dropped to its knees.
The bull, which had been hit
by a truck, died before humane
officers could get to the scene
to destroy it.
A FIGHT A DAY
ORONO, Maine (UPI) - Mr.
and Mrs. Orrin W. Giggey say
the key to a happy marriage is
to have a fight every day or
so.
On their 67th wedding anni
versary Thursday, Mrs. Giggey,
89, said, "I make it a point
never to agree with him." The
88-year-old Giggey, when asked
to disclose the basis of their
happy life, said, "I think it's
because we've always managed
to have a good scrap every
c;ouple of days."

Pickles Not Picked During Pregnancy
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
Pickles are passe for preg
nancy, a noted anthropologist
said today.
Speaking before a meeting of
the American Anthropological
Assn. which is holding its
62nd annual conference in San
Francisco Dr. Steven Polgar
of the Planned Parenthood
Federation of America said that
in a study be conducted in the
Bay area into the eating habits
of pregnant women only nine
per cent named pickles as their
favorite food.
Polgar told the group that 30
per cent of the women inter
viewed named fruit juices as
their most popular food while
expecting. Meat and fish polled
a close second place.
He said on a national level
pickles ranked in fifth place as
the food most craved by preg
nant women.
PANTS BURGLAR
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Jew
elry store owner Harry Treis
man, 49, lost his pants in a
robbery Thursday.
Treisman told police a gun
man forced him to turn over
$250 from the store's cash
drawer and made him take off
his pants, using his belt to tie
his hands behind his back. The
robber took the pants with him.
far-fetched as it may sound. To
appreciate its worth you have
to realize that all creatures
with central nervous systems
operate on self-generated elec
tricity. It flows in direct currents,
carrying nerve impulses. These
power the built-in communica
tions which permit people and
other organisms to control
themselves.
Transmitting and receiving
radios are similarly powered.
Their impulses travel through
the earth's magnetic field, and
so do those of creatures. They
have to the creatures exist
within the field
Smooth-flowing
Now, the earth's magnetic
field is, generally speaking,
smooth-flowing. The smoother
its flow the better are radio
communications. But there are
continual variations which coin
cide with day becoming night
and vice versa.
These are relatively minor,
however. What really kicks up
storms in tne eartn's magnetic
field are the cycling magnetic
disturbances on the sun which
result in "sun spots." While
these magnetic storms rage,
radio communications are at
their worst.
Drs. Howard Friedman, Rob
ert 0. Becker and Charles H.
Bachman of the State Univer
sity of New York and Syracuse
(N.Y.) University have been
fascinated for some time by
the possibility that magnetic
storms can do no less to the
interior communications of the
human nervous system.
The idea was not a new one.
But no one has been able to

give it scientifically acceptable

Varying Admissions
Their human phenomenon
was the varying daily admis

ic field over the same four
years.

and the comparison revealed a
high order of statistical signi
