Reading the 'small print is al- ways wise—whether it's on your insurance policy or on your weedkiller container. There are on the 'market selective weed- killers and non-selective ones, so the right one must be chosen for your purpose. The selective weedkillers are useful for lawns. They destroy dandelions, chick- weed and plantain without doing, any damage to the grass. For best results they should be ap- plied on a warm, sunny day when the temperature is above 70 degrees F, Evaporation is 'less rapid in the morning or evening. Care must be taken that your priZes plants are not touch- ed by the deadly solution through spray drift, and the di- rections for use should be most carefully followed. Sprayers should be kept for weed-killer' only and should be rinsed out after use. MERRY MENAGERIE • said a LITTLE aquirt!" iOMEtliiNd TO WOO ABOUT-Deli Bragg established a' riew Isr—mptc re...,, e.

Crack tennis players have smashed balls at 130 m.ph. and the famous Bill Tilden once drove one at 150 m,p,h. Tilden frequently served a ball at 110 m.p.h. but the fastest serv- ince of any player was that of Lester Stoefen — the U.S. Davis Cup ace — who in 1935 was measured to drive a ball at 131 ., Ball speeds in sport are fas- cinating. Take cricket, At his best, Larwood, the Not- tinghamshire and England fast bowler, bowled at a speed of 90 m.p.h, and was driven to the boundary by Don Bradman, at 120 m.p.h. Wood Platt, the golfer, drove a ball at the enormous .speed of nearly 180 :m.p.h. but even this was eclipsed in England twenty- four years ago during a test made with a high-speed camera, when a velocity of 280 feet per second, more than 190 mph, was recorded. One player proved the amaz- ing penetrative powers of a golf ball lay placing a 500-page tele- phone directory four feet in front of the tee and driving with all his might. The ball tore its way clean through the book and kept going for a .further 100 yards. American baseball pitchers have attained a ball speed of nearly 100 m.p.h. But the fastest penalty kicker in soccer kicks the ball at little more than 35 m.p.h. The flashing drives of a table tennis ace never exceed 50 reep,h, and his average shots travel at only a fifth of that speed. Although ice hockey is some- times called the fastest sport, a professor of physics made tests which show that the puck skims over the-ice in a first-class match at 110 more than 88 m.p.h, Climbing vines need little pruning. Virginia creeper whose coarse shiny green leaves turn red in the fall doesn't need much attention once it has been start- ed. It needs a preliminary heavy pruning. f t NUTRIA Yp ogiVAr to TnUrnit and bril- TWILL NUTRIA Al) the Sig4PES Pant market for this Iiixtury fur Hut success will come only Ihronell Proper breeetee methods. quality foundation stock, pltla a Pregram based on sound business methods.

As TV would have it, the euy,e,, boy of the Old West was hand- some of mien, clear of eye, clean of speech, sure of shot, eoura- $eons, coterteetts, modest, 3,1111- able, incorruptible, a defender of widows, orphans, stray dogs, occasional stray ladies, and a smoker of the sponsor's cigar- ettee, But was he really? Emphatically not, says Wes- tern expert Peter Lyon, The his- tory of the West, reports Lyon In American Heritage magazine, "is compounded of lies, the ethic: was based on evil, the language was composed largely of argot and cant, the wars were fought by gangs of greedy gunmen." And its TV heroes? "Papier- mache Horribles," he calls them. Further, there weren't any "'walk-downs" (they were prob- ably invented by Harper's maga- zine as early as 1867) and most of the shooting was done in the back or at unarmed men. The brave marshals of television of- ten were in real life criminals, deviates, or small-time gamblers, and such heroines as Calamity Jane and Belle Starr were mere- ly common prostitutes. Gunning down the heroes, one by one: Billy the Kid: "An adenoidal moron, both constitutionally and emotionally inadequate to a high degree . . a slight, short, buck- toothed, narrow - shouldered youth whose slouch adds to hi3 unwholesome "appearance." Belle Starr: Horse thief, cattle thief, suspected robber of stage- coaches, constant concubine, and protector of desperate criminals . . It was rumoured that she was slain by her son, Ed Reed, with whom she had had inces- tuous relations." Wild Bill Hickok: "A liar, a frequenter of bawdy houses, a professional gambler, and a killer . , . Most hours of most nights he had business in Abi- lene's red-light district . . , What snore fitting, for such a man, than to enshrine him on tele- vision, during the children's hour?" Calamity Jane:• "She was no 'roseo . loved the company of men, and as time went on, crav- ed booze more and more." Bat Masterson: "Sly, cunning, and cautious . . , (a student) of the technique of early confi- dence games . . in truth, a poor shot." Wyatt Earp: "A professional gambler , . up to some dis- honest trick every time he play- ed . . . Earp was never marshal of Dodge. He served two terms as asdetant marshal . . waS himself arrested for brawling with a dance-hall girl . . He and Bat . spent so many nights in Dodge's brothels that they were nicknam e d 'The Fighting Pimps'." The Old West's heroes, "vaunt- ed for their courage, in fact showed only the rashness of the alcoholic or the desperation of the cornered rat," sums up Lyon, "The moral, of course, is that crime, when commercially ex- ploited, does pay, and the more sadistic the better." How Can I.? by Roberta Lee Q. Now can I clean copper easily and economically? A. Rub it with half a lemon dipped in salt, then rinse it in hot water, and polish with a soft cloth, Q.

About The Octopus And His. Cousins They have eyes like humans, give off greater light than fire- flies, and, to express their emo- tions, they can change colours faster than chameleons (orange means happiness). Usually, they travel by jet propulsion, but on occasion can crawl and fly. At least one has been hypnotized; ail, are consummate escape ar- tists, capable of flattening their rubber skins to ooze Houdini- like through holes several times smaller than their own body dia- meter. Genuine blue-bloods, they have three hearts. By na- ture they are solitary creaturesa who take care to construct their stone houses away from others of their species. But when they mate, they stay 'in each other's arms for as long as 24 hours. Who are they? They are the cephalopods, the invertebrate family that includes the octopus and his cousins, the squid and the cuttlefish, and, at the aquarium, their tanks always draw big crowds. All these cephalopod facts have' been gathered together by an indefatigible English natural- ist named Frank W. Lane, whose exhaustive researches indicate that he — like the octopus — may be eight-armed himself.. The octopus, Lane notes rather ruefully, is the only one of the large animals neglected by po- pular book writers — perhaps because there are less than a dozen living teuthologists (stu- d en t s of cephalopods) in the world. Now, with, the publica- tion of •this book, "Kingdom of the Octopus" the cephalopod gap has been closed, There is enough material here for a lifetime of quiz shows and cocktail conversations: The com- mon octopus, for example, has 240 suckers on each arm; these suckers are muscular m e m branes that operate on a piston and vacuum principle —,"a deli- cate piece of natural engineer- ing." While normal octopi have eight arms, Japanese zoologists in 1958 pulled in one with 40 arms In the normal male, one of these arms also serves as the organ of reproduction: In the common octopus it is the third right arm; in the common squids and cuttlefish, it is the foterth left arm, In the nautilus (a sped cial kind of octopus), four arms are involved, Cephalopod locomotion has al- ways fascinated marine obser- vers;. most cephalopods swim backward, propelling themselves at speeds up to 6 mph 'with a jet of sea water shot in fast- repeated pulses from a single nozzle on the underside of the body. Using this jet of water, some cephalopods can rocket out of the water 6 to 20 feet in the air, according to eyewitnesses. Some, at least, are also at home on land: A lab worker reports he once met an octopus walking downstairs at 2:30 in the morn- ing — it had escaped from its tank upstairs. It isn't very likely, however, that man and cephalopod will ever become good friends. One_ reason is economic: They are sought after avidly by the fish- ing fleets -- and gourmets the world. Octopus and squid are regularly sold in the Orient and Mediterranean countries. Fresh, dried, or tinned, squid can be bought in the United States. An- other reason is emotional. Very Taw men have ever got used to being gripped by an octopus; the skin feels like "damp kid lea- ther," the suckers are undeni- ably "creepy." 0 n e naturalist, who routinely handled scores of octopi reports: "To have the long, damp, , cold arms of an octopus writhing and twining about one's wrist and hand, 'and fastening its hundreds of suck- ing cups all over them, gives a singularly uncomfortable seri- sation." And finally, there is the ques- tion of danger: Can a giant octopus or squid harm a diver? On this issue there is a 'healthy skepticism. One school holds divers are in 'much danger 'from octopus attack as a weed- man is from rabbit attack. Lane, after examining several man vs. cephalopod incidents and the physics of the situation (under Water, a 200-pound man can be 'held with a p u 11 of just 10 pounds if he doesn't strug- gle), takes the opposite view: "Celphalopods can be danger- ous to man. I believe that many attacks have begun accidentally . , But once the battle is joined the cause matters nothing, and a man may quickly find himself fighting for his life." —From NEWSWEEK Pig Beats Horse In Trotting Race 'Pigs, it is now 'thought, have a strong homing instinct like some other animals. A pig sold in a Berkshire market escaped from its new owner's farm and re- turned to its former owner who lived four miles away, Before this adventure it had not left its sty since it was born. Pigs have performed astonish- ing feats of endurance During the Abruzzi earthquake of 1915, an Italian pig was among the missing at Avezzano. Ninety-three days passed and then, fifteen feet below the sur- face, excavators found the buried pig. It lay near a bundle of hay and was alive and alert when. rescued, though its weight had dropped from 224 pounds to 67 pounds, It must have gone en- tirely without drink for ninety- three days, but it derived susten- ance from the hay. Darwin, the scientist, believed a pig to be capable of develop- ing the intelligence of e dog, A sow belonging to a New Forest. keeper was trained to hunt game, at which it became more expert than most pointers, In Holland a pig outstripped a trotting horse in a race, after the pig's owner had bet 1,000 guilders that he could train it to win over a straight course or six miles, In the Appenines pigs are used to guard sheep, In countries where truffles (underground mushrooms) ate a delicacy, pigs are Used to find and root them up, Pigs like truffles but if cafe, fully trained a pig wilt keep for lhoistriaster all the truffles he tip- ois, .
