Teaming the cut. It used to be when we first moved out to our tinyi cottage among the pines that all the jays . did was sit around in the trees and scream. I don't know that this has been abated, really, but they have added a few tricks of their own while doing their eternal complain ing. I do not claim to be a proles sional bird watcher. Many of the secrets relating to bird lore are b closed book to me. But I probably know as much about the behavior ' of bluejays as anyone in the coun ty. As I said, when we first moved out of the smoothly paved surfaces of town to take up our nie among the weeds and rocks these jays commented. They commented on the quality and quantity of the food. They commented on my methods of doing those chores that all suburban dwellers are laminar with. They finally banded together into a tight-knit group to sit along the fence of the dog run and make nasty remarks about my build and general conformation while I was Indulging in a shower. But now, thanks to the cat, they have found a new diversion and I am spared most of these humiliat ing Interludes. It all started when I put up a bird feeder around one of the pines In front of the house. I guess I shouldn't say that, ex actly, because It really started when I put a blrdhouse up in this tree. The cat found the house soon alter a family of birds had moved In and started making lile miser able for them by sitting on a branch In front of the house or on the root of the little structure and reaching through the tiny door hole -with a paw. Thinking to allay this threat to the bird life of the drive I erected a plywood plat form encircling the tree in order to keep the cat from climbing up. Since she learned to crawl around this shield about ten seconds after the final nail was driven I decided to make a bird feeder out of it. That was Just fine for the Jays. I would put grain out on this little nlatlorm and they would come in from miles around, drive oft all the smaller birds, and eat It. But they soon learned that it was more run ir tney wane- uniu ine cai showed up beore they flew down to the platform. Tlyy would see the cat her name is South trotting along the driveway with all her Siamese grace and would promptly set up a great to-do, hop ping about frantically from branch to branch and fluttering their wings. This, of course, would drive the cat into a tizzy and she would atari stalking them. That was what the Jays waited for. When she got close to the foot of the tree they would fly down to the feeder, perch on the edge of Jt and dip their tails over the edge in apparent uncon cern. They would stay there, too, and teed until the cat lost her pa tience and charged up the tree howling like a banshee. Then they would flutter off to a branch Just out of reach and laugh until their feathers shook. But by now the cat has caught on to the fact that jays have eyes in the back of their heads so she doesn't waste much time on the (tame. That left the Jays with little to do but curse me for my nig gardly attltudo toward putting out expensive grain for them, stealing the dog's dinner If he hadn't quite finished It or filching the garden spoons from their storage place.- bui me other day they lound new game. We put out our stale bread for the birds in still another feeder. Whenever we put out a good sized chunk of it the Jays prompt ly pounce on it and knock It off the feeder, then worry It around until they have moved It to the middle of the lawn. Then one or two of 'em go in search of the cat. When they locate her they lure her up onto the front lawn and then the fun begins. First one Jay will swoop down on the chunk of bread and tear out a chunk and fly away. Then another and anoth er until there are as many as four or five around the grub. This, na turally, starts the cat off on anoth er of her eternal stalks. She'll walk up to within four or five feet of the feeding birds and then charge like a tiger springing on a hapless sheep. The sound of the jays glee ful laughter is enough to make the cat's ears turn red as they spring out of her way and watch while she bumbles all over the grass try ing to run, stop, turn and leap at a fleeing Jay all at once. To date neither group has tired of the fun but we're running short of bread. I suppose this stalking Jays is all right. After all, she has to have some exercise and she certainly doesn't get It chasing the mice in the basement. She has made up with them and, I'm quite sure, shares her food with the little grey fellows. Her only real form o! ex ercise is to Ret herself into an ln accesible corner and then hurl Insults at the dog, who is ninety per cent teeth and ten per cent feet. Whenever she tires of his ln effectual efforts to dislodge her rrom her spot she belts him one across the nose and strolls off to her penthouse for a nap. (I say pentnbuse because I built her nest up in the rafters before I lound out that she wasn't in the least afraid of the dog.) While this constant teasing from the jays Is slowly driving the cat crazy I sort of welcome It. It keeps them out of my hair for a while. But It will be interesting to see what they come up with next. Whatever it Is, I hope they pick on someone besides me.

Veterans Administration said the radlolsotype research unit at the Bronx VA Hospital In New York City has developed a new .tech nique lor measuring the pumping efficiency and status ot heart ac tion speedily and accurately. Tho technique is designed to re place the less accurate and slow er method of using dye substances lor this purpose. Mounted on a cart, the equip ment can be wheeled to the bed aide of patients. It is so fast in Its operation that it can record the heart actions or 10 patients per hour without difficultv. VA re ported. The device uses an Ingenious tie up of a Oeiaer counter, a count rate meter, an amplifier, an oscil loscope, and a recording camera. A mlmilo amount of radioactive substance is injected into the blood stream of a patient. The blood from an artery then ta directed into a specially de signe Oelger counter, and the out put of a sensitive count-rate meter is amplified ao It may be viewed as a moving spot on an oscillo scope screen. This moving spot Is photographed with a recording camera to form a pattern of curves, known as the arterial dilution curves. From this strip of film, a graph of heart action can be plotted quickly to provide an accurate measurement of cardiac output. QI'ESTION OF THE WEEK: Q If I enroll in a correspond ence course under the Korean OT Bill before my starting cut-otf dale, will I be permitted to switch to classroom training In the same field, after that date has passed? A. -No. A correspondence course Is considered a program of train ing within Itself. A change from correspondence training to class room training would be considered a change of program, regardless of the subject of the course. Changes of program generally are not permitted alter a veteran's starting cut-otf date has passed.

By LYI.E DOWNING Take It from Bert Holison. man ager of the Klamath theaters, there's no business like show bus iness and business is good! Henson. who has spent most of his life in the theater, says, de spite the great expansion of tele vision, the movies," with wider screens and better films, are more than holding their own. When asked If big name enter tainers performing in supper clubs affect the movies, Henson said: "Not very much. There aren't too many people around who will pay eight dollars for a dollar and half steak and believe they are seeing a floor show for nothing. Perhaps in P. T. Barnum'a day. there was 'one born every minute.' I don't think that is the case now." LIKE COOK'S TOUlt Henson's record reads like a Cook's tour brochure or a compo site of half a dozen transcontinent al railroad timetables.

Tex., and Agnes Cotton, Falrtield. of Impresario, manager and press representative he has traveled from coast to coast and border to border. Before vaudeville took a nose dive and road shows became vir tually a thing of the past. Henson managed legitimate theaters in various sections of the country. While manager of the Keith-Boston Theater In Boston, he produced some of the top shows of that era. He also presented the first mid night performance of a legitimate production in Boston's history. Henson was born In LaJunta. Col orado. While he was still in gram mar school the family moved to Eugene. His first job was deliver ing newspapers. His first contact with show business was as an ush er in the Eugene Theater which presented top legitimate stage at tractions. He remembers seeing such productions there as "Forty Five Minutes From Broadway." "It Pays to Advertise" and "Turn to the Right." DESKRTED FOOTLIGHTS After Eugene, Henson's next stop was San Diego where he was an usher in the Oarrlck Theater for two years. From there he went to Portland and deserted the foot- Npw . . . lights for a few months to work as a candy salesman. Then he returned to the enter. tainment field as a film salesman. He sold films throughout the west. In 1932 Henson went to Cleveland, Ohio as publicity and advertising representative for RKO. Frpm there he moved to Boston. In the late thirties, Henson returned to the West Coast and has been here ever since. Looking back on his career, Hen son values most the associations he had in the theater. Among his closest friends are Ted Lewis and Ray Bolger. "It's too bad vaudeville troupes and road shows don't tour the country like they did 30 years ago." he said. "But they'll never come back any more than the horse and buggy will be in vogue again. "For some reason." he conclud ed, "no matter what our careers have been, we all look back with wistfulness to the so-called 'good old days." In spite of this inclina tion. I still believe as far as show business is concerned, the good days are still ahead." (Listen to Family Album Sun day 9 p.m. Radio Station KFLW.) W. E. Hamilton, director of re search, Farm Bureau Federation, In discussing the "Walton Soil Plan" before the national conven tion of the Izaak Walton League this year made the comment that one of the things the Izaak Wal ton League's proposal had that ap pealed to him was the fact it held out the possibility of ending the problem of diverted acres. This problem is really terrific." stated Hamilton. "You know we have price supports op six basic commodities and I am quite frank to jay that three of them, corn, wheat, and cotton, are basic com modities and the other three are politically basic. "Well, then. It has been recog nized a long time that if you are going to have price supports and the price supports are at a level that increased production, then you are going to have to have produc tion controls. Now these controls look a lot better from the stand point of theory than they do from the standpoint of practice. Here is what happens when you put a pro duction control on "The farmer is told to take may be 10 per cent that Isn't too bad, it gets bad when H Rets up to over 30 per cent of his lrnd out ol a crop. If he puts that land In the next best crop suppose he takes it out of wheat and puts it into barley or grain sorghums it helps to solve the wheat problem, but it transfers a part of our v.'heat surplus problem into a bar ley or grain sorghum problem. Some of this land may be shitted over into perishable commodities like vegetables. Not very much of It, but it does not take very many acres to ruin the vegetable market. "You have a situation where maybe you have a corn allotment that may be in an area where there is a canner who cans corn, that Is, sweet corn or peas, and it gives him a greatly increased bargaining power with regulated producers of those canning crops if he can go out and say, 'Now you are going to lower the price this year or else I am going down here and contract with some 01 those fellows -who have corn allot ments to crow beans or sweet corn on their diverted acres.' So that Is a terrific problem and the size of it is overwhelming. "This year under the programs that have been announced II all 01 them are complied with, we will have something like 35 or 40 mil lion diverted acres. "Another problem that arises In these production control programs is the tact that the commodities are not uniform. There are sev eral classes of wheat. Those classes of wheat are used for different things. So right now in the midst of a wheat surplus we have some wheat that is short in supply and selling above the support price. You cannoi deal very well with that problem by acreage allot. inents because there seems to be no politically acceptable basis of saying that one farmer can con tinue to grow the amount of wheat he has grown in the past and that another farmer must be cut down. Instead, you find a historic base for all wheat and you give them all a percentage cut and some types will be in worse surplus than others. So you compound the problem. "The cotton people who had thought that the cotton program worked pretty well are beginning to find out that the same thing applies to cotton. So you see we are creating a lot of problems with acreage allotments. "Looking at It from the stand point of Individual farms, if you have a 40-acre field and the gov ernment comes along and says that you cannot put 6 or 10 acres of that Into the crop It Is sched uled for, then you have a problem If these 6 or 10 acres aren't seed ed. How are you going ta manage and get anything off of them? They interfere with normal crop rotations, "Then there Is the question of control of diverted acres. The peo ple who are not protected by price support programs feel that the acreage that is taken out of these protected crops ought to be set aside in some way and not used for producing crops in competition with them. The secretary of agri culture announced a program of control of diverted acres a year ago but he did not put It into efiect. He got some pressure against putting it Into effect. He had a personal reluctance to go that far with controls and he found reasons for suspending it, I am not being particularly critical of the secretary, I don't know that I would have done differently if I had been secretary because con trol of diverted acres is a tough problem. "The approach that the Izaak Walton League proposes in the Walton Soil Plan could relieve a great many of these problems, yet it too has some problems. "I think probably I should say a little about Just where we are in the Farm Bureau in our own thinking. We have been struggling 39 Dead In Japan Milk Poisoning TOKYO Wl Manv .T.. babies went without milk Saturday as the nationwide toll of poisoned powdered milk victims rose to ia dead and 4,448 sick.
