Sheldon Sawyer. of Gray, Mame. says that treating hens like wo- men pays off with more eggs.

“I never enter my poultry house \\ILl’l0UL knockinl." Then when I go in the poultry are read)’ 10 rt-ceive me.

“After all." explains Sawyer. “\'oli'd knock before entering ‘a ladies‘ dressing room woulclnt yot1""

Not only does poultrymﬂﬂ 53W" yr-r knock, but once inside he also liums catchy little tunes to the chickens. And they love the attention and cluck back their gratitude. Another little touch to make the poultry more dignified are the spectacles they wear. Sawyer clamps the metal. glas- srs through the beaks of his 2000 thickens to serve as blinders and to discourage unladylike peck- ink.

When you praise your wife after _...ii‘ve been married for a year, spread it thin. It may frighten her.

"The hottest possible news story." says an editor. "would be the end of the world." True. and what a story for the final edition!

A new kind of verdict "Space Siiiride" was handed nut by Ol- Iircrs after Airman RUSSC1 Schnonmaker of Palisades Park. N J. locked himself in an alti- tilde test chamber at Forest Air Force Base. Texas. and set the control so that he died just as ll his oxygen mask had failed at 25.000 feet.

This may sound fantastic. but Paul Berger of Renton. Wash- ington. has become the grand-

father of his own five children. You don't believe it? Well, it happened when Berger married his own mother-in-law.

He divorced wife number one in 1951 and last year married her mother. The fact came to light in court when his former wife. now his stepdaughter. sued for unpaid alimony.

Jack Taylor. of Fabin. Alberta, owns a tiny German midget-pouch dog which weighs less than four pounds and a great Dane that tips the scales at 150 pounds.

The liver of the largest whales often weigh a ton and the ani- mal's tongue as much as 3% tons.

A common toad. or frog can and often does eat as many as 10.- 000 insects in a year. Garden snakes also consume large num- bers of insects, and yet farmers continue killing both year after year. without seeming to realize that they 'are destroying their best bug-killing friends outside of the birds.

A woman's intuition is based largely on her ability to read be- tween a man's lying.

For 32. you may now purchase a shears that threads needles and picks ‘em up. The unique la- dies‘ tool also has magnetic points to attract that elusive needle.

Did you know that the bony growths on a horse's legs called whorls are as distinctive as those on the human hands?

Believe it or not. but Pearson. Georgia. has a resident named “T: Smith. so named by his par- ents to distinguish him from all the other Smiths in the place.

Because many children are spoiled by their grandparents it makes the parent's job more dif- ficult. Such pamperings and pet- tings as most grandparents in- dulge in often hinders the child from becoming a ful a- dult.

Some day those pampered chil- dren will have to learn how to get along with other folk. They will also have to learn to accept correction from their teachers.

and if they have not learned to _

do so at home. they are in for an unhappy time.

Small children ought never be allowed to rule the domestic most. When you say "no" stick to it. and let no amount of plead- irig change that “no" into "yes." But be reasonable in your re- quests and demands. and once the child is taught to abide by your decision it will not run to his grandparents or to anyone

Heat provided from an auto- mobile cigar lighter kept a pre- mature baby alive on a wild two- mile ride to Lawrence, Massa- chusetts recently. No ambulance was available at the time and police officer Bill McGuiggan used his own car. while a (el- low officer plugged the incubator into a dashboard lighter thus maintaining the proper tempera- ture during the ride, strange but true.
