FAME COMES
TO PETS IN
PENITENTIARY

FOLSOM PRISON, Cal. WP-
Folsom prisons pets are becoming
almost as we'll known as some of the
institutions inmates.
First there was Rusty, "stoo!
pigeon cat" who still roamS the old
cell block with more freedom than
anyone, even the guards. Then came
Blue, the blue-gray offspring of
Rusty. And Blue adopted as his con-
slant companion Chirps. tiny finch
which was found deserted in a nest
atop the prison wall.
Rusty became famous some 10
years ago as the stool pigeon cat"
who unfailingly discovered prisoners
when they broke rules by preparing
food in their cells. Now and then
prisoner constructs a crude toaster
or electric stove, secret it in his
cell and snuggles food there from
the mess table with the idea of pre-
pairing a snack before turning in
for the night.
On such occasions, Rusty may be
depended upon to head directly to-
ward the cell from which the aroma
Of food emanates, sit outside and
meow. Invariably this attracts a
guard and the offending prisoner is
placed in solitary.
More recently, stories and pic
lures OF Blue and Chirps-the pic
lures showing Chirps perched on the
cats paw or head-received wide
circulation.

England Elevates
Once LOwly ID ish
OF Plum Pudding

LONDON. (UP)-England's famed
plum pudding, king of winter
desserts, is credited with rising
from lowly standing among
Christmas dishes. First known as
plum porridge, it was served in a
tureen, but in the 10Th Century
it rose to its present eminence.
When Christmas turkey, roast
beef, mince pie and jelly were
served at st. James Palace in 1901,
plum pudding was omitted.
Those were the days when a
huge Melton Mowbray pork pie
was served for breakfast, a great
Stilton cheese for dinner, with the
family later enjoying roasted chest
nuts before a roaring fireplace.

for a new location where the right
kind of clay for the making of fine

Fortunately, just exactly the proper
kind was located in some steep banks
at Twenty-eighth and M northeast,

machines turning out as many as
