Art For Arts Sake

Something bright has been added
The scenery at Central Union
High school frightened up consid-
erably after Mary Lou PaSkle got
busy on 20 boys with her trusty bot
ties of hair bleach and dye of var
ious hideouS hues.
1t was a peck of fun when Mary
Lou turned out few of the boys
with their hair striped and polka
dotted in red and blonde tones.
Among those who joined the gals
in variegated locks were LLOYD Case
Harold Maddox, Allen Pinnell, Cleo
Denton, B. H. McCann, and Rich
ard Littrell.
Daylight, however, made the boys
resemble a pack of badly wigged
dolls. They went creeping sheepish-
ly into beauty shop and begged
Mimi Maggie to dye their hair as
near the original color as possible
until nature got busy and grew
out" the dye.
We can't understand why they
didn't take warning when Mary
Lou tried her art on a cat. The cat
the innocent bystanc er in the whole
deal, is disgrace even to those
members of the feline tribe with
badly mixed ancestry. Mimi hasn't
consented to work on the cat yet
but probably will as soon as she
gets the boys fit for human con-
sumption agan.

Poultry Prices

WASHINGTON, March %. (UP)
The government soon will boost
the price of poultry in a move to
encourage production and relieve
the present shortage, it was learned
Thursday.
Economic Sterilization Director

authorize the increase in the very
near future. perhaps before the end
of the week.
Farmers will be offered a price
incentive, repoi ted a little more
than one-cent-a-pound, to produce
more broile.s, friers and other meat
chickens. There now is a virtual
famine of this kind of food in met
ropolitan markets throughout the

eused of violating the price control
act and constitution.
Winn said the 7C0 slaughtererS
and small meat packers he repre-
sentS face "a critical situation"
Their raw material costs-for cat
tie and hogS-are far above" the
level contemplated in wholesale
meat price regulations, he told the
senators. He said beef prices have
"been Improbable almost since the
beginning of price control" Pork
profits once offset beef losses, but
now pork is also causing losses"
Winn said the OPA price policy
had caused diversion of beef to
black markets by packers who are
willing to take advantage of the
situation to make a profit"
The OPA has been unable to
control the black market in beef"
he said. I'VE may shortly have the
same situation in pork"
Winn told the senators the meat
industry is ''reaoy and anxious" to
help in the emergency shortage.
All it asks" he added. lis that
prices be established under which
it will receive its costs of produc-
ton plus margin for the process
ing. 1t cannot continue to bear
heavy losses on beef when it is also
losing heavily on pork"
Senate Republicans also blamed
OPA for shrinkage of the supply of
meat. Sen, Robert A. Taft of Ohio
and other Republicans charged that
CPA price policies did not allow
packers a fair margin of profit"
and confronted them with little
alternative but Bankruptcy.

the southern flank of the Ruhr-
Gemany's last great military ar
Senal.
Front reports said armored and
infantry divisions were battling for
a crossing of the Sieg on winding
l0-mile front stretching eastward
from the rivers confluence with
the Rhine TO the factory town of
Sieburg.
The attack opened late Wednes-
day in the wake of tremendous
aerial bombardment that spread
fire and ruin across a vast chain of
German road and railway communi-
cations linking the imperiled Ruhr
with central Germany.
Field dispatches said the Nazis
apparently were hoping to stave off
the First army rush behind the
Sieg barrier, but the narrow river
was not expected to prove a formi-
dable obstacle.
SEAL VICTORY
In the Saar- Palatinate, mean
while, the American Third and Sew
enth armies were racing in to seal
their victory with the destruction
ot the $4,000 or more Germans who
held the huge triangular pocket at
the start of the drive a week ago.
LudwigShafen, Germany's great
est chemical producing center and
her fourth inland port, was safely
in American hands before Mitchell
Wednesday, although scattered re-
sistance was still continuing early
today.
Third army tank columns were
charging in on the Rhine on both
sides of Ludwigshafen against little
or no enemy opposition. Two task
forces converged from the north
and northwest on Speyer, a river
crossing point 10 miles south of
Ludwigshafen. One reached Bohl,
six miles northwest of Speyer, and
a second drove four miles south of
LudwigShafen along the river bank
to a point six miles north of Speyer.
The Third army's Goth infantry
division. possibly supported by ele-
ments of the Fourth army civision
rushed north from Worms, were
meeting Unexpectedly bitter resist
ance from the German garrison in
Mainz, "a miles northwest of Lud-
