a well known contractor. The wings
of the chickens were clipped and 10
foot board fence was erected to no
purpose; the lettuce patches were still
invaded and the most toothsome leaves
stripped bare. Mrs. Paine made Wig
orous protest to Lindahl. He was not
so sure that his wing clipped fowls
had surmounted the 10 foot obstacle,
and he needed to be convinced of their
guilt
The green painted chickens offered
the solution, and now Mrs. Paine is on

Close students of Darwinism are
much interested in the painting of the

and having a penchant for lettuce.
They claim that if the coloring pro-
cess is effectively persisted in through
several generations the fowls will
adapt themselves to their environment,
according to Darwin, and a new spe-
cies of American born and conceived
bird will evolve. Whether the chickens
will carry TO their descendants the
clipped wings of their fathers seems
to be a point of dispute
