A reader has asked me whether
turtles can hear and whether they
have ears The answer to both ques-
tions is yes"
The ears of turtle do not stand
up above the head. The eardrums
lie right on the surface of the head.
They are not easy to see but can be
observed If person looks closely.
A turtles ears may be compared
to those of frog. Turtles are able
to hear fairly well but not so well
as the average furry animal
Miss Teresa Berry has sent me
interesting notes about reptiles of
another kind, namely, alligators.
I'VE brought home two baby alli-
gators from Tarpon Springs, Fla, -
she writes. 1--WE keep them in
good-sized box with pan of water
at one end. In the dry part we have
stones, shells and sifted sand. We
feed them little hamburger every
four days, as the man who sold them
to us suggested.
I'VE keep them in the sun all day
and put them in the basement at
night. The dry part of their box is
glassed in, and the part above the
pan of water is screened.
I'VE read in your column that the
male eats more than the female.
This is true of the two we have.
One is much fatter; he takes his
meat off toothpick. The other will
eat the meat only when it is thrown
in the water She is smaller and
more nervous"
Alligators as pets seem to have
become fairly popular the past few
years.
The other day an 11-year-old boy
let me look ct catalogue showing
how 1t was possible to buy pet alli-
gators by mail. At least it was pos
sible last year, when the catalogue
was printed.
Baby alligators inches long were
listed at the price of about 50. 1t
also was possible to get a pet alli-
gator II inches long or longer. A
5-foot alligator was offered for the
price of s25
A 5-foot pet" of that kind might
not be too easy to handle Nature
gave these animals mouths which
contain pointed teeth, and as the
alligator grows the jaws and the
teeth grow. BY and by they are
able to make a meal of something
besides hamburger.
A 10-foot alligator might not "eat
up man. but there are dangers
connected with the teeth. A snap of
the jaws OF big alligator can do a
good deal of harm to human being.
Such a snap might not be comfort
able even in the case of a 5-foot
alligator.

The first large group of workers to
feel the effect of wage stabilization
was the Ford family" BY unani
nous vote, the board turned down a
union request for dollar-a-day wage
increases for 115,0O0 Ford Motor EN-
plOyees. on the ground that they have
already secured raises totaling % per
cent since January 1, 1941.
The board applied combination of
wage raises and wage freezing to tool
and die shops in the Detroit area
1t granted 0-cent-an-hour increases
to craftsmen in captive" shops owned
by the big automobile companies, be
cause rates there had been lower than
private job shops. This was done, the
board said, to reduce labor turnover
At the same time the board set a
minimum of $1.50 an hour and max
imum of $1.75 an hour for newly tired
tool and die craftsmen. This freeze,
the board maintained, was essential tt
