The 1939 report of the tax assessor shows there are 14,894 homes—and 27,527 automobiles in Newton. Mass Production Eggs in mass production seems to be the aim of a chicken that helps supply the table of Mrs. Emma Phelps in Kingston. On two occa sions she has found three eggs in one—a completely formed egg in shell within a shell, plus a third egg —according to Mrs. Phelps’ report to the Ain't Nature Wonderful Ed itor. The big eggs are laid by a Rhode Island Red chicken at Kings ton. U. S. Insect Hunter in Relentless War on Pests The man who will subjugate one “fifth column” activity not listed by the department of justice came to Berkeley, Calif., recently, to com pare scientific data with University of California experts. The goal is the same, however, reveals Dr. F. C. Bishopp, chief of the division of insects affecting man and beast, U. S. bureau of ento mology and plant quarantine—the heightening of national efficiency and safety in time of crisis. Just as the department of justice is intensifying its fight on human saboteurs, the bureau of entomology is stepping up a nation-wide pro gram, not only to avert economic j and human losses but to increase man’s efficiency for defense of his j country. As part of this process, Dr. Bish opp stated that war would be waged just as relentlessly on pests, which do not incapacitate or kill, but which destroy man’s comfort and happi ness. He reports 5,000,000 cases of ma laria annually in this country, ma jority in the South, which, while not fatal, result in debility and conse quent lowered production. Dr. Bishopp brought official data on a $10,000,000 loss in cattle in the Southwest caused by the screw worm, a pest that has recently made its appearance in Southern Califor nia. Spread of Rocky mountain fe ver to eastern states by ticks car ried by dogs and in luggage of trav elers, he added, presented another serious problem, inasmuch as the mortality rate ranged from 10 to 50 per cent. War Worry Senseless, Medical Journals Advise | Work hard and play hard, but j don’t worry about the war situation any more than you can possibly i help. That’s eminently sane advice, j Medical journals report a rise in the number of mental cases requir ing treatment in the last two months. It may be due to too much despondent brooding about the war, especially among younger men and women. This, of course, does nobody any good. One cannot shut eyes and ears to what is going on in the world. That would be unwise, even if one could do it. But depression over things beyond the individual control does no good, either to the individual or in solving the prob lem. Every generation and every time has had its problems and its trage dies. The only course is to do what must be done and do it with vigor and a clear head. Beyond that, people do well to work hard at their jobs, indulge in all customary recre ation and play, and try as far as possible to avoid worry. Even if j the worst happens, is it not bad enough to endure that without hav ing gone through it in imagination a thousand times before? Insomniac Declines Sleep Job An old stage tradition, that your true performer does not play a role for which he is not suited, cost an extra—who shall be nameless— an $ll job. Director Ted Reed needed a middle-aged man for a small part in “Those Were the Days (At Good Old Siwash).” “This is easy,” Reed explained to the extra. “You’re a college professor. It’s night. You’re asleep here on this bed. William Holden sneaks in and turns back all of your clocks an hour. You just lie there without moving. You’re asleep.” "Mr. Reed, I appreciate your interest, but I cannot accept the role. It isn’t suited for me.” “Not suited?” "No, Mr. Reed. I cannot sleep. 1 suffer from insomnia.” Snake Can’t Milk A snake could not possibly milk a cow, even if the cow raised no ob jections. The shape of its mouth j makes the feat impossible, and the I sharp teeth would stampede the gentlest of cows. It’s just a snake story that will not stand up under sensible thinking.
