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

your priZes plants are not touch-

carefully followed. Sprayers
should be kept for weed-killer'

Watch a hard-hitting firet-
class tennis player driving a ball.
Then try to estimate its speed,
One hundred miles an hour?
More! 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.

Western Heroes
Just Plain gums?
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."

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."

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,

mushrooms) ate a delicacy, pigs
