Hens exposed to ultraviolet light lay 10 to 19 per cent more eggs, the department of agriculture reports. The report was issued after five years of tests in a specially built underground poultry house at the agricultural research center at Beltsville, Md. Department scientists said the tests were started in 1945 as a re sult of a chance discovery that the very short rays of invisible light IT ALL to ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT/ J The department of agriculture reports that hens exposed to ultraviolet light lay 10 to 19 per cent more eggs. frequently used to kill bacteria also increased the egg output of hens. The department reported it “dem onstrated conclusively that neither the.number of bacteria in the poul try house nor the vitamin-D content of the light rays was involved in the beneficial effects.” The properties of the light that caused the boost in egg production have not been identified. New Rabbit Repellant Is Highly Effective A new rabbit repellent that has proved highly effective in discourag ing cottontails from nibbling at beans, lettuce, radishes, collard greens, carrots and corn, as well as flowers, has been developed. The formulation can be dusted on young vegetable plants and flow ers, or can be mixed with water and used as a spray. In one series of tests made by a chemical company, lettuce patches that had been treated with the rab bit repellent were not touched by the hungry rodents while 80 to 100 per cent of the untreated plants in other patches were nibbled and damaged. The company’s research scientists discovered that rabbits did not show as much interest in carrots as they did in other foods. Home-Mad* Ladder MINUTE MEN CAP Rapidly Expands Services Since Outbreak of Korean War M rcuni nn DII77IC In jdWU HU rULLLL AN$wt * # Since the outbreak of the war in Korea, enrollments have rocketed to a new all-time peak in the Civil Air Patrol, the volunteer civilian pilots’ organization which helped fight German submarines off our coasts with frail “puddle-jumper” landplanes in the early years of World War II, and also gave basic school training to many thousand highschoolers who later became military pilots. ACROSS 51 Garden 11 Large A light ladder is a great conven ience about the farm as it can be used in the fruit trees, repairing the telephone line, or for any of many jobs: To make the ladder shown above use a straight pole, six or seven inches in diameter. Fasten a wire or ring around it about eight feet from the large end. Then split the pole and spread the two parts. Make a hole in each half for the bot tom rung. After it is in put a wire under the bottom rung and twist it tight. Cut notches for the rungs above and nail them in place. Thif will be found a most serviceablf ladder. By INEZ GERHARD J ACKIE KELK, now in his 11th year as “Homer” in radio’s “The Aldrich Family”, is the peren nial teen-ager on the air. In private life he is an astute young business man with profitable real estate in vestments. He is co-authoi of a musical, “Little Boy Blue”, based JACKIE KELK on his own life, which was directed by screen star Gene Kelly when it was produced in Hollywood last month; he’ll have the leading role if it is done in New York. Yet he is never too busy to entertain the men at veterans’ hospitals, continuing his work during the war, when he appeared at training camps and gave both time and effort to re cruiting drives for army and navy. Paramount has re-established a service introduced during World War II. Motion picture theatre pa trons who can identify sons, hus bands or sweethearts in Paramount News clips of military training camps or battle areas can obtain these clips free of charge, with in structions for having them en larged. Thousands of clips were sent out during the last war. Sterling Hayden has returned to Paramount, the studio which took him off a sailing ship and boosted him to overnight stardom. He made two pictures with Madeleine Car- roll, married her, then got into the war and made a brilliant rec ord as captain on secret O. S. S. duty under the name of John Ham ilton. Recently a free-lance, he has signed a long-term contract. Humphrey Bogart refused to play a scene in a sound stage subway for “The Enforcer”, pnrsnaded Director Windust to rewrite the scene with a bus background. His shamefaced explanation—that riding sub ways makes him sick! Gary Cooper plans on making one more picture after “Dallas” and then going to Africa again for some big game hunting. This time he will also take a camera, hoping to get enough good shots for a short subject at least. Today the flying “minute men” of the CAP are giving basic train ing directly to over 22,000 cadet members, aged 15 to 18; besides this their ground school program is installed as an accredited course in hundreds of public high schools; they are in training themselves and are training new members for civ ilian defense problems, participation in air-search rescue work and anti sabotage patrol. Their “service pay” consists of the privilege of buying their own uniforms and of contribu ting dues to cover their regular op erating expenses. • • • TOTAL MEMBERSHIP of CAP has topped the 175,000 mark and is still climbing. There is a rapid shift of inactive senior members to active status again. The CAP radio communications network, available for either civil ian or military emergencies, has expanded from 538 stations thinly covering some two-thirds of the area of continental United States in 1948, to approximately 8,500 sta tions blanketing the United States and extending to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The network is equipped with government surplus radio telephone material, serviced and operated by CAP instructors and their cadet radio communica tions students. * • • SOME 6,000 CAP cadets attended summer encampments at 32 air force bases for intensive study of jet engine operation and mainten ance, radar detection work, and other ground school training sub jects. The cadets were ferried in air force transport planes from their home states to their encamp ment location, and back again. In the so-called peacetime years since VJ day, CAP volunteer pilots have done a large share of the air- search rescue flying, to locate lost planes and crash victims; they have logged hundreds of hours of forest fire patrol; have participat ed in “haylift” operations after western blizzards; have flown medi cines into flooded areas. In a num ber of such emergencies the CAP radio communications network has been the only means of outside con tact with flooded or stormswept areas. In 1948 congress gave CAP per manent status as an auxiliary of the air force, which provides an AF-CAP liaison headquarters with a compact air force staff in each state to coordinate activities of the civilian volunteer organization with those of the military men.

Wilkinson 3 Minute Fiction r DHN Carlton would never go so far as to say his daughter, Jane, was stubborn. He chose to call it an iridependent spirit, a desire to lead her own life, make her own way in the world. Actually Jane was a duplicate of old John in character and disposi tion. Old John recognized the re semblance. Knowing Jane as he did, and loving her as he did, gave Old John a decided advantage. He knew what methods to employ when he wanted her to do something. Jane was beautiful. She attracted men, lots of them. Old John frowned on Jane’s reck less regard for love. He frowned on the young men who paid her court. All but one, it seemed to him, were worthless. The one, Phil Scot by name, a son of Old John’s closest friend, appeared to possess the requisites of a good husband. In ,the first place he had a job. Secondly, he worked hard and had ambition to do big things. Thirdly, his atten tions toward Jane were honorable and sincere. Old John was too wiso to suggest to Jane that she con sider Phil Scot as a possible husband. Despite the fact that ho knew that Jane did not re gard Phil with disfavor, he knew, also, that the moment she became aware of her father’s prejudice poor Phil wouldn’t stand a chance. ' ' “Look here, Jane,” he said one day, “I notice you’ve been seeing that young Scot fellow a good deal lately. I absolutely wouldn’t stand for his type as a son-in-law.” BROADWAY AND MA[N STREET Cuban Solomon Solves Lovers' Problem With Justice Consumption of Canned Milk Increases in U. S. Annual consumption of canned evaporated and condensed milk av erages around 2044 pounds per per son, a recent survey revealed. The heat treatment given in steri lizing evaporated milk makes it more easily digested, and therefore, ideal baby food. This use, plus use in tea and coffee, accounts for a large portion of the evaporated milk sales in the United States, the sur> vey concluded. A product of MCKSSSOIT A BOBBINS By BILLY ROSE Last night at Lindy’s a bunch of us were making small talk be tween big mouthfuls, and as per usual the conversation ran the full -gamut—from girls to girls. A little before closing time we got around to a well-known Power’s model who had been going steady with a press agent pal of ours, and who was recently lured away from him by the financial blandishments of a well-heeled heel. “All lady-stealers ought to be btiried up to their necks In sand and the ants turned loose," said Mark Barron who covers the theatre for A.P. “In Cuba,” said Charlie Moses, the film distributor, “they have ev en more interesting punishments than that for dame-nappers. As a matter of fact, there’s one particu lar story they’ve been telling for years down there which illustrates how they let the punishment fit the clime.” “Spare us the puns,” I said, “and let’s have the story in a few easy para graphs. . . .” Ac c o‘r ding to Charlie, it all hap- pened a hundred and something years Billy Rose when ago Cuba was under Spanish rule. ONE DAY AT A fiesta, a scrump tious senorita named Josefina was having herself a time with her boy friend, a prepossessing but peso-less eaballero named Roberto, when she caught the lecherous eye of Jose de Cordoba, an old bum of a count who had a large estate outside Ha vana. The titled bum found out where she lived and made the usual underhanded overtures, but when the senorita informed him that his presence and presents wefe equally obnoxious, he had her kidnapped and taken to his hacienda. Roberto bad a pretty good idea who was responsibla for the snatch but be needed proof, :o be disguised himself as a mendicant friar and fast-talked bis way into the Counts bouse. There be struck up an acquain tance with the cook, and when be found that bis lady friend was being held under lock and key in a second floor room, be hotfooted it back to Havana. The Spanish governor-general at the time was one Miguel Tacon, a tough-minded hombre who believed in an eye for an eye and a whole upper plate for a tooth. And when Roberto told him what had happen ed he ordered his soldiers to arrest the Count and bring him and Jose fina to the governmental palace. • • • AN HOUR LATER, the pretty one and her abductor were brought be fore him, and after bawling the be- jabbers out of the Count he decreed the punishment: The pair were to be married immediately and he, himself, would perform the cere mony. Which he did, while poor Roberto looked on—plenty bothered and bewildered. Getting hitched to Josefina was not his idea of punish ment After the nuptials, the Gover nor-General told the Count be was free to take bis bride back to bis hacienda. A few min utes out of town, however, a detachment of soldiers, acting on Taeon’s orders, ambushed the newlyweds, shot the bride groom in hot blood and escort ed Josefina back to the palace. “You were legally married to vhe Count” the Governor told her in his best Solomon manner, “and are therefore his legitimate widow. As such, you are heir to all his worldly goods and possessions, which I un derstand are considerable. You are also free to marry anyone you wish, and if Roberto still appeals to you I’d be delighted to do the honors.” Jane was beautiful. She at tracted men, lots of them. She was. In fact, a bit reckless about It all, and refused flatly to take the matter seriously. Jane’s surprise gave way to anger. “Phil Scot,” she said de fiantly, “is a darling. Of all the boys I know Phil stands head and shoulders above the rest. And,” she added, “you’d better like it be cause he’s the man I’m going to marry.” Old John scowled. “He’ll never be a son-in-law of mine. So. you'd better begin forgetting him now.” A N hour later Albert J. Scot, young Phil’s father, completed a telephone conversation with his oldest and closest friend, John Carl ton, and summoned his son. “Phil,” he began, frowning deep ly, “it seems to me you've been paying a good deal of attention to that Carlton girl lately. I want it stopped! Understand! She’s nothing but a flirt and a social butterfly.” Phil was aghast. “But, Dad, she’s the daughter of your oldest friend! I thought.. . that is. .. well, you see I like Jane a lot. I was in hopes...” “Well, cease hoping,” Scot senior cut in. A WEEK LATER Old John and Albert Scot were sipping drinks and exchanging congenialities on the veranda of the former’s hoirffe. A car stopped out front and two young people came up the walk. The two young people stopped and smiled pleasantly. Jane Carlton said: “I’m sorry to disappoint you, father, but John and I are married. We love each other, and, despite the fact that neither you nor Mr. Scot approves of the match, we’re going to live our lives as we see fit.” “And,” said Phil Scot defiantly, “if you don’t like it, you can lump it.” Old John and Albert T. Scot ex changed glances. They laughed. They slapped each other on the back and roared with delight. Jane and Phil looked on in be wilderment. After awhile Old John wiped his eyes and explained the conspiracy the pair had concocted. Jane looked at Phil and Phil looked at Jane and Jane said: “How clever. You won’t mind, then, when we tell you, we’ve been married for two months! We've kept it secret till Phil got a raise in pay. He got it today and tomor row we're leaving on our honey moon. You two can sit here and think up ways and means of run ning our lives when we get back.” He'D Wait She—“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but the fact is, last night I became engaged to Ernest.” He (knowing her)—“Well, how about next week?” By Rtadlnf tha Ada Ktap Posted oa Values .
