NEW YORK, Mar. 17—The thing that is maintv lacking -to-bring television to its fullest -cultural peak is the bull-fight, which currently is fllegal in America. It is so illegal the movies won't even let you see the toro being transfixed by the torero’s sword. : This is obviously a foolish restriction on mass sadism, since it is perfectly legal to show a rollerskate derby with female participants to the young and impressionable, and wrestling, even with intimations of homosexuality, is now available to all. I trust some eager Congressman will’ remedy this lamentable oversight on the brave bulls.

Fans Like to Watch 'Em Suffer

. THE ROLLER DERBIES are. the hottest thing since the dance marathon craze, with the rassles running a photo-finish for fascination. It pains me to dissect the reasons for the popularity of both, but any reputable physician can furnish the answer in a plain ‘wrapper. The naughty books that are sold in subway kiosks invariably trade heavily on scantily clad young ladies who wrestle, punch, pummel, and beat each other with implements. This is supposed to be provocative in a perverted sense. It was my misfortune to cover wrestling, or rassle matches, away back in the days when the rassles were supposed to be a sporting event. The

““steady rassle patron, with a very few exceptions,

is not someone I would like to have in the house. Not unless I am dealing in green mould. Sadism is a word the psychologists popularized, and the dictionary. calls it “pleasure derived from the infliction of pain.” There evidently are a great many second-hand sadists running loose in the land today, and television caters to them with the rassle riots and the fracases that the roller-girls and boys whip up for the customers. The one is as phony as the other, and is a miserable illustration --gf-the-degeneration-of-our-entertai t-tastes; The freaks and monsters who live by professional wrestling were distasteful enough to anyone with a finicky stomach, in the old days.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 17—Dyeing -one potato blue is easy.enocugh, like coloring an easter egg. Dyeing a couple of trillion spuds, or something close to 50 million bushels of em, is tougher, as our blue-fingered potato-staining specialists can testify. : . . So while the Senators argue about the merits of coloring potatoes azure so people won't eat ‘em, {t-is—my privilege to present-an-essay on how thegovernment goes about blueing potatoes wholesale, . : “

Tod Costly for Easter Eggs

. THE FEDERAL chemists use a dye known for short as F. D. and C. No. 1. This means it is a chemical harmless to man and beast under food, drug and cosmetic regulations. Its scientific name (and you'll pardon me if I should leave out a syllable or two) is n-ethyl-p-sulfabenzeramino-— phenyl - 2 - sulfonium phenyl - methylene - 1 -n «= ethyl - n - p - sulfobenzyl - delta - 2 - 5 - cyclo-hexo-diamine. Golly! And also the stuff costs $14 per pound. *, oo It is the color of fountain-.pen ink and could be used for easter egg coléring, but isn’t. Too expensive. = . The. Agriculture Department scientists have found, however, that a little goes a long way. They don’t have to dye every single potato blue all over; they are satisfied if each. potato gets a cerulean splash. : When they have a 100-pound sack of potatoes to sell back for one cent (sack included) to the farmer who grew them in the first place, they rip open the top. Into this they pour one pint of diluted n-thyl-p et cetera and let nature take its course. Soon there is at least one spot of blue on every potato in the bag. z The scientists in charge estimate that by this method each $14 package of dye will stain all the potatoes in at least 3000 sacks. This works out

The Quiz Maste r What is the difference between trees and shrubs? : There 1s no clear-cut distinction. However, a tree la commonly defined as a woody plant that reaches a height of at least 10 feet, has a single stem, and has a definite crown shape. A shrub usually is less than 10 feet tall and has several ~ stems without a definite crown shape, .
