The jays around our house
. t,e have Stella rs, California and
Woodhou.se varieties have found
a new pastime.
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.

Atomic medicine is providing a
faster and more accurate measure
ment of heart action important
In the diagnosis and treatment of
heart diseases and some cases of
shock.
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.

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."

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."

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
