out at shipping time and packed in dry ice and finally taken to the railroad station. A pheasan gets a lot of attention, that’s for sure. x Mrs, Hazel Vogiman, a local woman who Mr. Hohm says is better than any two men he ever had working for him, -can whip a bird bald in about the same length of time it takes me to dig my billfeld out in a crowd. That is fast, I'll tell you. Incidentally, Mrs. Vogiman doesn’t give a tinker’'s darn about pheasant feathers. After a bird's wings are chopped off on the block, he's ready for the scalder where the water is a steaming 140 degrees. Colder than 140, feathers don’t loosen enough for the picker to do its best. Hotter and a rooster cooks. A pheasant is submerged in the scalder for approximately 15 seconds. There is no question that the pheasant is a mighty pretty bird. If there isn’t every color of the rainbow in a pheasant’s plummage, I'm color blind. That's the rooster. A hen is a mottled brown. Very plain. Excellent mother, though, to little pheasants, I'm told. As I said, ladies, especially those of you who like pretty feathers on your hats, you'd whimper if you'd see what happens after a pheasant is dipped. One dip and the ugliest hen in'a cornfield wouldn't give a rooster a second glance. He's a

Mr. Hohm Uses a System

TAKE OUR stack for example. Twenty-two birds with one pellet in each head. Well, maybe there's a pellet or two in the neck. Our locker number is 85, A ticket is placed in the middle of the pile. The birds will be cleaned all in one bunch. They'll be wrapped individually and stamped with a large, green 85. They won't be mixed with any other number. “The rooster's head is on the outside of the wrapping. That's done for the convenience of the game wardens should they want to check a box of birds. Twenty-five pounds of dry ice will keep 20 pheasants in good shape for three days. Fifty pounds will keep them for five days. A signed affidavit by Ewold Hohm is glued on top of the shipping box... The sticker carries all the information required by the game laws of South Dakota. Number of birds, hunting license number, name of the hunter, etc. I have salvaged a batch of feathers. The thing that worries me is what I'm going to do with them. Can't put them in my hat. I have my Community Fund red feather in my hat. Well, I'll do something. Maybe just throw them away.

Milk and Honey

By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Oct. 28—Mr. Truman's brave words, on the occasion of planting the cornerstone at the United Nations’ fourth birthday party, were, it seems to me; little better than lip service, and not very convincing lip service, at that. Mr. T. asked a UN ban on the Big Bomb, which is a nice thing to say, and we have been saying it right along for some time. It is a statement, in light of today, roughly comparable to the United Nations’ ladies committee pronunciamento against polygamy, everywhere, and Mr. Newbold Morris’ stirring battle against sin in the big city. About the safest thing you can say about the atom bomb is that as long as one nation has it and nobody else does, that owner-nation will keep it for insurance. And when the Big Apple starts to grow on another man’s tree, both owners will cling even more firmly to the deathly fruit, and strive madly to increase its production.

Only One Thing Wrong With UN

THE UNITED NATIONS is a lovely concept and it has only one thing wrong with it. It is administered by people. Until God can do something about his own production-line and endow all people with saintliness at bifth, I have little faith in their ability to do anything but wrangle with each other to fulfill their §wn selfish interests. This cynicism was not born of hangover, but from a hurried inspection of the history of mankind since the first cave-kid hurled the first rock at a neighbor. Man not being noted for the clarity of his foresight, no amount of level and lofty thinking has ever deterred him from hurling himself at his own ruin, He s to self-destruction with the same desperate urgency of the bird into the lighthouse, always thinking that he is the one bird who won't bash out his brains on the glittering glass. We mumble about eternal peace while rearming as frantically as our own cleft military will allow us, in the intermissions between their own backyard bickering. We mutter love words to Russia while Russia calmly knocks off the East.

Unpredictable

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—The female sex is one of my favorites. It has only one fault, There's always something wrong with its shape, one way or another. In its own opinion, I mean. The last couple of years the ladies tried so hard to look like women, only more so (I am reliably informed), that some of their curves came from Akron, O., carefully carved of sponge rubber, colored flesh. Some of them even wore springwire contraptions under stress, which when accidentally unholstered, went zin-n-n-n-g. When that happened a girl jumped, as if stabbed, which she was. These handsome parabolas, whether artificially inspired or naturally endowed, added to the joy of living and the beauty of the landscape, and I had no complaints. Ladies never looked like this before, but I didn’t protest. Not even once.

Now They're Reversing the Field

NOW the unpredictable sex is tired of looking like women. It wants to look like men. All over the place the ladies are chopping off their hair. They're wearing hats like upside-down pots, Their hips have disappeared, while the sponge-rubber facade business suddenly has gone the way of mah-jongg. If the ladies have waistlines, they disguise 'em. Legs they're beginning to be proud of again. Big business, which knows which sex butters its bread, is playing along. The new shape with the curves flattened out is available in shops across the land. One of the biggest manufacturers pf men’s neckties in America (a firm I doubt I ever shall patronize again) is advertising blatantly the suggestion that the ladies borrow their husband’s cravats for use as scarves and other decorative effects, The nation’s oldest haberdasher, in which females once weren't welcome except when buying

We invite Mr. Nehru here to fall at his feet in worship, and Mr. Nehru says coolly he hasn't decided which way he'll swing India — that he would rather place his bet on the international horse after the race is won. Truman can’t control either his Cabinet or his Congress. Louis Johnson and Forrestal before him couldn’t ride any semblance of herd on the military machine, business can’t get any sense out of unions, and vice versa. People scrag each other

flated ideas of personal superiority. Everything becomes more complicated daily. Man fights with maid, and maid with man. We have tried to win, and then to buy, a facsimile of love-thy-neighbor all over the globe, and have reaped a subsidized pandemonium instead. The doers of good scratch and claw as fiercely as the doers of evil, for the right to impress their goodness on everybody, everywhere. If necessary they will kill you to reform you.

There Is Plenty of Arm-Flailing EVERYBODY, it seems, is a member of a committee for or against something, and committee battles validhtly with committee. There is oration and essay and the flailing of arms, and nothing ever seems to come of it but confusion. Taxes lift and liberties flee and the’ aspect of international monkey-house increases. To assume that there is sufficient trust and co-operdtion loose on the globe to permit an international amity now seems almost completely ridiculous. No guns will be checked at the door, without the derringer remaining in the sleeve and the knife in the garter, because people, on ‘the record, have just been naturally ornery since Eve and the apple. Mankind, I firmly believe, has finally maneuvered himself into a deadly quagmire, and is powerless to do anything but thresh. his arms and mutter high-sounding phrases as he sinks deeper into the slough.

never owned a pink shirt in my life. If the ladies want to look like men, I'm inclined to humor ‘em, so long as they swipe none of my ties. ‘Their new straight-up-and-down, or tele-phone-pole, look brings back memories of my youth, mostly happy. In 1927, when I was courting my bride, a lady with a curve was ashamed of it. I rode her around in a chummy roadster with the top down, but she didn’t mind because she had little more hair than I did to get mussed in the wind. ‘What I'm driving at is that if the ladies want to be flappers again, I wish they'd go all the way back to the 20's. When they danced then, they toddled. This was a step so simple that even I could do it. When they listened to music they preferred “Dardanella” or maybe “Japanese Sandman.” Both very soothing to me,

High School Teachers . Many Things To Do At Convention

on + Fred Spence

Seeks High Court Watts Case Ruling

Dailey Seeks to Bar

New Trial Mixup

Prosecutor George 8. Dailey today said he will go to the Indiana Supreme Court for clarification of the Robert Austin Watts case. The Marion County prosecutor said he will seek a court opinion before the trial opens, thus lessening possibilities of a mistake which would cause another mistrial. In Shelbyville today Mr. Dailey today filed a motion for Judge Harold Barger of Shelby County Circuit Court to assume jurisdiction of the case. Judge Barger refused. Mr. Dailey then said he would seek a mandate from the Indiana high court ordering Judge Barger to assume jurisdiction, Friendly Action
